Baldur

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

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.

@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

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.

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.

Thanks Ariel, I was trying to find that little tutorial link of yours

xD

<3

I think that speaks to everyone's soul

xD

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~

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.

hehehe

Well where do you think @Jomei stores the Jomeiballs?

From your pants apparently

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

^ 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...

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.

I agree.

I think it's only for certain quests though. There are some with larger team caps or others with no cap at all-

There are a handful with no caps, but I've been looking through a lot of them and there are very few that are actually good for a team.

But Daaaaaaaaddd!

No worries Baldur! *Keeps the flaming torch and kerosene behind his back hidden.* Be safe!

*In a whispered hush* Quick, burn it all!

*starts a fire*

Gotta keep warm!

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...

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 ;)
