However, this is actually super punishing to level 1 players with their virtually empty energy pool. If they miss once at level 1, they are punished for it by not being able to take any action due to going to -1 energy and being forced to wait a turn to do any attacks. and at level one, missing your turn is extremely deadly. While many people level without combat early on, this system is unintentionally harsh to level 1 players that want to fight things.

A hot fix for this would be ruling that you can't go below zero energy, but it's not specified ether way at the moment so using simple math makes it negative energy. Which is a fine system for higher levels, punishing them for attempting big hits and failing with a temporary 'Fatigued' state of being in negative energy, but at level 1 fatigued means death and there is no way to avoid it.

This seems like an unintentional flaw of the Sword art system especially since in the show they show people doing normal attacks without being a sword art (Sword arts only being glowing weapon attacks)

Well I've head to the desert where I just meat the out of place Grave. A strange wanderer in a strange place~ Free to join us though.

Hmmm, well we still have the post count system, Correct? If post count no longer equals player level, why not turn post count into bonus sp?

TBH that sounds like a much fairer way to do it, as this system only rewards you with levels per completed threads, where as the only one was more about posts, so finishing a thread 20 posts every time wasn't always the best way to play.

Still only get the Sp after completion naturally, but A bonus SP every 3rd page means you get 1 SP per thread and a SP per 60 posts in a thread.

Too much endgame SAO balances not enough Early game balances. Honestly the changes are making me not wanna sign up for sao at all due to just how slow I would ever progress.

I should but the new system update scares me, I've read over the sword arts and while they look cool I'm gonna have to take a while to learn them

Cause I made the account yesterday and Zel wanted to ALO with me, so I'm waiting for him to log on and start something up~

I like to make myself feel better when seeing bad news with attempted comedy. Though it always falls flat cause this [censored] is scary yo.

Just saying it as it's a very recent (Last hour) Event that most people don't know about yet. It might effect somebody here, I don't know.

Unfortunately today was just character building, as I have to Hop on wow for the night and painfully learn how to play a different spec for my warlock for my raid team Q.Q

But feel free to invite me to one and I'll get back to you later tomorrow when I wake up~

Ah-ha I see, well that's fine, it was more of a passing question for the future, as if it's anything like the other magics you wont even be able to get a pet until 10 int to use Charm. Might not be the case, and seeing as it's basically a thing that all Cait Sith have a pet it would be weird to not be able to get one from level 1, but balance is balance.

Except, at-least in the Beast mastery they're not, as here is Two Spell from beast mastery:

Ferocious Intent- High Tier Party-Buff Beast Taming Skill - Your pet Roars on your command, boosting the entire party's Strength, Agility, and Perception for a single thread. This spell will be supercede by other Party-Buffs, and you cannot be buffed by a Single-Target-Buff Spell. (Party-Buff)

Masters Support - Pet Healing Skill - Heals your pet for X HP sapped from your HP. The higher the power, the more it will take from the user which can be lethal. X*50 Beast Taming.  (Healing to Pet)

Didn't change anything to them. The Healing spell has a level but no cost, and the Party buff has no level OR cost. It looks like just an issue on Beast Taming Magic.

I'll take that chance.

Psh, jelly of our 5th limb and Beast mastery much? Go back to healing people in a river, Waifs~

Ironically playing an Undine in ALO

Paw=All  It made sense to me~

Nyokay, I will give it my paw!

I can tell this is gonna be fun~
