  1. If you plan to take part in the boss fight this time around, make sure you read the new raid turn mechanics and ask any questions you might have. #1 being every party will need it's own tank!

      can I join, maybe I can talk the boss into letting us pass without any violence :P

      I think that was tried on Rohk. It didn't end well. Besides, this boss is nightmare fodder

      Well ... just a notch up for @Esther, the boss might be a warewolf crossover with a beholder

  2. I'm trying to catch up! Please forgive me! 6_6

    I also need to update my journal.

    And I'm going through revising quests to make sense post September Update.

    If you're waiting for me in a thread, please link me here, or PM me!

  3. With the new boss fight planning threads started, be sure to read up on the new Raid Rules. The turn order and structure of the boss fights has changed. I'm really excited to see it in action! Let me know if you have any questions :)

  4. Just a PSA, but things have gotten a lot more difficult, you won't be able to solo as easily as you have before. I recommend grouping up until you've gotten used to how the challenges are changing!

      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.

  5. I broke down the One Hand weapons for the new patch. If you're a one hand user, it might be useful to help you digest the changes!

      Also note to everyone - AoE farming is going to be a thing of the past. With mob HP going up, you're gonna need to form groups if you want to farm. Materials are about to get a lot harder to come by!

      That means the merchant gonna get ALOT more customers :)

      I'll take that as a challenge.

  6. Event Brainstorming!

    What kind of events would you like to see in SAO-RPG to really liven this place up, and try to break out of some of the routine we've built up? We've got the quarterly boss fights, but I'm looking for some new ideas, or something you've seen that was really cool and hasn't been repeated!

    1. Ariel - The Crowned Lion

      Ariel - The Crowned Lion

      @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.

    2. Seul

      Seul

      Here:

       

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

    3. Ariel - The Crowned Lion

      Ariel - The Crowned Lion

      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

      I've mostly stayed away from the LN so far so that I could enjoy it at my own pace whenever it came to anime or manga, though I know most of the beats so far.

    2. Ariel - The Crowned Lion

      Ariel - The Crowned Lion

      But you gotta admit Alicization Arc beats previous arcs in SAO as Reki's writing style has improved significantly since the initial Aincrad Arc and I like the chemistry interactions between Kirito and Asuna in the Progressive series... so far (I'm at the middle of vol. 3)

      I'm in the middle of volume 2 I think? Shortly after killing the spider queen and visiting the village again.

      To me, however, it's been less about the quality of the characters or the storytelling and more about the setting.

  8. @Lowenthal is past his post time (run, Low, run! post!) so that means @Seul is up in the boss fight.

  9. @Macradon I dug this up, and it reaches my soul, man.

  10. I think I have replied to everyone everywhere it was waiting on me. If I missed you, please let me know.

  11. Baldur looked at Ariel, stunned into speechlessness by her words. Accepting the beautiful gift with an air of reverence, Baldur immediately equipped the Obi. "It's perfect... and you're right. I had never thought of it that way, but you're right." He suddenly wore a bright smile for Ariel as he picked her up in a bear hug and spun her around until they system warned him he was being inappropriate and would get zapped if he didn't put her down. "Thank you so much, Ariel, I love it! I knew coming to you was the only way to go." +1 Ronin Uwa-Obi

  13. Wow! I see a wild @Icarus has appeared! How ya been?

    1. Baldur

      Baldur

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

      We could drag you through a dungeon though!

    2. Icarus

      Icarus

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

      Dungeon works for me.

    3. Baldur

      Baldur

      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.

  14. I think I'm caught up. If I'm missing anyone, let me know!

  15. I think I have responded to everything that was pending. Let me know if I'm missing something somewhere.

  16. Baldur tried to imagine himself with a silly top hat on top of his somewhat modern samurai look. He couldn't tell if it was just funny looking, or if maybe he could play it off as some tongue-in-cheek commentary on the westernization of japanese samurai culture, but he felt that as a foreigner that might be improper for him. And it would just look funny. The thought brought a smile to his face. "Something I'm missing...hmm...." He looked down at himself. He wasn't wearing the armor, just his casual clothes - or rather what had become his casual clothes. A hakama was surprisingly comfy com
  17. Sorry guys, work has hit me hard yesterday and today. I'll try and post during lunch and when I get home tonight.

  18. Baldur's blush at Ariel's suggestions were interrupted by Kimba's playfulness so Baldur scratched the rascal behind his ears and under his chin. He had remembered when Ariel had first gotten the lion cub and he had pointedly refused to acknowledge Ariel as his master. He remembered the frustrated face Ariel would make whenever he refused her orders, but he could also never mistake that glimmer of love she had for him in her eyes. "I am at your mercy. I like my style, but it can be a bit monotonous, so I thought a woman's touch might be warranted - and there's no one I'd trust to do so mor
  19. A wild Jomei has appeared!

      Well where do you think @Jomei stores the Jomeiballs?

  20. Who is our highest ranked active Tailor?

    1. Rain

      Rain

      ^ 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. ._.

    2. Creius

      Creius

      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

    3. Rain

      Rain

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

  21. I don't know why 30 feels like a milestone, but ding! :)

    1. Baldur

      Baldur

      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.

    2. Xion

      Xion

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

    3. Rain

      Rain

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

  22. Alright, I have aggro on Asterios, and it should only take another 2-3 good hits to finish him. Be careful people!

  23. Is there anyone waiting on me for a reply?
