  1. 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

  2. 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!

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

      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.

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

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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! :)

      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...

      @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!

      Le written post has been served, garcon

  7. 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

      Macradon

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

  8. 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!

  9. 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 :)

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

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

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

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

  17. 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

  19. 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

      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.

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

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

  22. 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
  23. Sorry guys, work has hit me hard yesterday and today. I'll try and post during lunch and when I get home tonight.
