  1. Boss Fighters, seem Hirru's post for the Knight's party openings. Make sure you claim an open spot else you end up tanking the boss!

    1. Zandra

      Zandra

      How is it with the last spot in team 1?

      Wants the Berserk Healer?

    2. Hirru

      Hirru

      That's up to your character really.

      If you want to side with your husbando, or not, that's fine by me.

      Just let me know.

      Oh I'll let you know for sure:D

  2. Just an update for those curious. There's going to be a small update to skills/items related to healing since we've had our health totals increased so much. We're waiting to start the boss fight to get this update out (since it'll be relevant :P).

    There was no big October update as there was in the past couple months, because the Staff team has been working on a MASSIVE update, which includes a complete revamping of the site guide (something that was started back when I was voted to be Player Rep).

    Thank you for your patience, and we can't wait to show you what we've been working on!

      Excuse you Ariel! :P I'm not slacking off, but I have been less active due to working on my coding bootcamp work XD

      That sounds like an excuse used by someone who's been slacking off:))

      (Okay and to make myself clear: Baldur is right! I'm just messing with people)

  7. Breaking news! Sub-Dungeons are dangerous again!

    Any dungeons rolled for or entered starting today should use the new stats. Be careful, the new bosses HURT!

    1. Zandra

      Zandra

      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!

    2. Baldur

      Baldur

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

    3. Baldur

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

  8. If you plan to participate in the floor 18 boss fight, make sure you're currently assigned to a group! Remember, the rules of how the boss fights work have changed, so make sure you're familiar with them.

    If you have any questions, let me know!

    1. Hakai

      Hakai

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

    2. Baldur

      Baldur

      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 :)

  9. FYI - Do not write Out Of Character in IC posts. If you need to convey information, you can send a PM. Obviously this doesn't include stats and such for battle, but your post is not the place to talk OOC with other players

  10. Challenge: What are some skills or mod ideas that would help you perform your roll, that aren't just giving you +DMG, +MIT, or +Healing.

    I want to find investments players can make to further plant them into the role of DPS, Tank, Support, Scout, but without upsetting the balance of DMG, HP, MIT.

    Aaaaand, go!

    1. Ashrah

      Ashrah

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

      +10000

    2. Ashrah

      Ashrah

      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.

    3. Ashrah

      Ashrah

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

  11. I think I'm caught up. If I've forgotten, please link meh!

    1. Calrex

      Calrex

      Just replied, so not really forgotten buuuut... XD

  12. Sorry to those I owe posts to. I'm trying to wrap things up here at work because I'm moving into my new house today! Yay! Comcast should be coming by this afternoon to install my internet, and moving will continue into tomorrow. My posting will be sporadic between now and Monday, but I will knock out what I can.

      No rush, take your time! 

    2. Teayre

      *Cracks whip* Faster damnit! <3

  13. Not sure if everyone noticed, but tanks and support players are now more important than they have been in the past since the boss fight mechanics have changed. So if you're playing a tank or a support class, hurry up and get to the frontlines! :)

    1. Zandra

      Zandra

      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...

    2. Aster

      Aster

      Quick, someone carry me through some quests! :3

    3. Macradon

      Macradon

      @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!

      Oooh, Tea wrote her post then! :D

    3. Macradon

      Macradon

      Le written post has been served, garcon

  15. 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!

    1. Esther

      Esther

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

    2. Baldur

      Baldur

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

       

    3. Macradon

      Macradon

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

  16. 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!

  17. 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 :)

  18. 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!

    1. Hakai

      Hakai

      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.

  19. 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!

     

    1. Baldur

      Baldur

      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!

    2. Zandra

      Zandra

      That means the merchant gonna get ALOT more customers :)

    3. Hirru

      I'll take that as a challenge.

  20. 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)

    3. Baldur

      Baldur

      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.

  21. Just in case people missed the updates:
    Posts now need to be at least 150 wrods!
    You get 1 SP per multiple of 20 posts!
    Familiars have changed, bleed has changed, crafter's respites can only be used once per day.

    See the update post!
