Baldur

Sounds AWESOME :P

baldur i'm going to ask what we're all thinking. are you bald

I'll hop in if you need help.

Bleed, statistically, isn't worth it. Straight +DMG will deal more.

Thorns is good for protracted fights, or whittling away something with high MIT (such as boss fights) but not really for trash, since the number of mobs we can spawn is limited for 4 per player.

In 99% of the encounters, a straight +3 DMG/+3 ACC/+3 MIT is going to be your most effective item set regardless of character type or build. Once you have some +ACC from other sources, you can start to fill in other enhancements for flavor.

my max damage is 22 without buffs baldur, trust me bleed will deal more damage

My max damage right now without buffs is 104. ._. but I need hella MIT.

Oh right. Wonder if she was a main or an alt and if the player is still on the site. Thou we will never know...

Quick, someone carry me through some quests! :3

@Zandra
I believe it was one of Manta's alts so there would come some death on the frontlines ... that was until the PK'ers began their spree and we didn't need to see the low leveled one die ...

@Aster
Sure I'll help!

When I saw the dmg change, I thougth my healing would be needed. Seems I was wrong :)

PS. Working on the post in 1... 2... 3... Now!

With anyone else it would have... And if any of us get hit it definitely will!

Looks like post #15 will fall on @Hirru, so perfectly timed :)

I have a Rainbow stone for +1 LD, Search RK1, and Cassin's Ring which is a +2.

And @Grave, What did I call someone? I ish confuzzzed

Wait, what?! Stupid auto-correct >.> That was supposed to be tell

I see. Well, Where would she get a pendulum... they are usually a stationary trap that swings on a huge clock work hinge system... And I don't think people would be lured in to that... Well... Wise people anyway...

only if he flies off a cliff

In mythology, Helios was the personification of the sun.  With him dead, no more sun and I can fly freeee~

~watches as he to flies off Aincrad and dies~

^ that's what I did. And look what I'm at. 2nd highest ranking alchemist. :P

Also eventually sold hella stuff and made some deals on Mats. ._.

But that would be so boring ;~; I would run out of things to say besides "Creius whacked this then this whacked back" xD No, more creative than that but still. Seems to be the way to go, though ;~; Stupid MMO's with their grinding system

bruh I know the feeling. I ended up just starting mutiple threads just for Mats..... multiple EaL threads.... at the same time...

@Hirru yup, I still have the mechanics for the fencing tournament somewhere around. Last time I didn't do it because just a couple of people we're on board with the idea. For those interested on how it works I'll look for the thread and link it here on a later reply.

Basically it still depended on rolls but instead of damage you gained point by hitting a certain body part.. the first to reach X amount of points wins the 'duel'.

Though it is still dice dependant, people can't one shot each other. Example: the duel I had with Cal to test the mechanics we were almost even in score despite him having higher... almost everything except damage.

Here:

Maybe modify the system to allow two handed weapons though while keeping it point based? >0>

yeah that one. People didn't get it that one can use any kind of item (weapons in this case) in the game. The only downfall was that you didn't get to use the weapon's SAs if you didn't invest in the skill. In this case native 1 handed users had a +2 points advantage but basically everybody could join as damage is irrelevant in this 'duel' style.

I'm open to ideas in how to improve the fencing concept:D

That is awesome!

muffled "That's so awesome"

Very funny..

I was literally convinced calrex and Oikawa was a thing in charecter.

Yeah...no X no XD. Although honestly I'm actually surprised that ship didn't sail sooner either XD

hehehe

Well where do you think @Jomei stores the Jomeiballs?

From your pants apparently

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

We would love to, but we're too high level to help you out :P

We could drag you through a dungeon though!

Need that down leveling feature so high levels can group with noobs.

Dungeon works for me.

Yea, they did it that way so that low levels could catch up with high levels faster. It really only works if you're in a group of 2 maybe.

Good ideas, you guys have gotten my creative juices flowing.

Glad to help ^-^

XD

Im thinking I'll wait for the next fight. Just to be safe.

That's a good call, Hakai. This is our first boss battle with a bunch of new balance and systems in place, so it may be tougher than anyone is prepared for :P

Boss planning thread is now closed, however nothing to say you can't do an OP trying to decide your teams :)

This truly has turned into LH. XD Not complaining though. Im a big fan of strategy, and group fighting and farming has a lot of that.

10xFloorLevel damage is gonna hurt. xD

oh my o.o

Beyond that, I like the idea of hate management. Holy crap, that is so vital for MMO type games.

+10000

Also I totally think a Mod for increased Critical Range would be sick, where the players who put points into it can crit on an 8 making their threat range much greater.

A Mod for making a 1 not mean absolute failure (where if you pump the SP in to afford it, you are able to hit on a roll of 1 provided your ACC is high enough).

Another cool Mod concept would be for First Aid, since that's fundamentally limited at this juncture to a single target or that TPH (total party heal) mod. Adding a passive buff/augment to your First Aid skill would make Support players way more invaluable.

We could also a skill that lets players shift the Hate from their attacks onto a designated player- I.E. the tank.

it suck behind really :P

I assume you mean dice roll. If not, I'd check with your rice roll supplier first. :P

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

XD

Haine, I do that now too, but mostly because I quest so much. If you're just in a field killing mobs for your first couple levels, then it doesn't really matter. But I agree, sticking with always using the Perma Roller just makes it easier.

How not to link dices??

Staff have encountered numerous people not linking in the perma roller so it is now a requirement to do so.

Alright, time for some Pulp Fiction style resuscitation. Where is that adrenaline?

*Grabs an syringe full of adrenaline and tipped with an 8 inch needle. Crams it directly into Ariel's heart and pushes the plunger down*

*gets stabbed, raises and takes a deep breath* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

on a more serious note, it's already in the 'to do' list.

Gigitty ;)

You and I have talked about this already, but I would encourage you to stick with very cut-and-dry achievements. You do it, or you don't. There is no denying what has or hasn't been done. I know ages ago we were talking about post and story quality, but we don't want to go down the Althanas road. I'm a huge badge girl. Earning badges or titles would be neat.

Yea, no I don't want to do post and story quality. I was thinking about achievements like Dungeoneering, where you do a dungeon on every floor in a Tier, or a Quest Master, where you complete X number of quests. Perhaps ones for beating a certain number of bosses, winning a certain number of duels. Other games have ones like "guardian" if you save someone who is almost dead, or maybe "vigilante" if you kill an orange player.

So I'm certainly curious for what kind of tasks could be good achievements, but also if people would like badges for their profiles, or titles, or a mix. If people would want them to show up under their avatar, or in their journal, etc... I have to research the technical limitations too.

Some very hard achivements that makes your username another colour mbe

You should see Jersey. Idiot drivers with an ego and anger issues.

Psh,3 inches lol come talk to me when you get well over a foot overnight

Same here in Mississippi.

Sub quests within quests would be cool. Extra objectives to achieve during a quest that give extra rewards for going above and beyond. I'd say to make the sub quest objectives harder than the quest in general to up the difficultly and give it a real risk vs reward feel to choosing whether or not to try taking it on. 

More burrito themed quests

How about Tacos instead?

how about a guild only thread? get to know each other a little.

Im in a separate guild so you'd have to make a new one..

Dono if that would Count Ariel :P, but your a full member to maybe it does.
