I admit that I am not sure if it is intentional or not, but I want to at least make sure.

Using the cobalt Qrytys (The fist-dagger weapon), I noticed that the backstab skill from VA doesn't give me the extra +10 crit, even though the weapon is technically supposed to qualify as a dagger as well.

I decided to check it out with an actual dagger (Using the magnifying glasses for this), I saw that when I changed from a front attack to a back attack, I did receive the crit chance from backstab for this weapon.

On a side note,I also heard from Trexmaster in OOC after talking about this, that even though you can use dark imbue with Red argus, you don't receive the extra darkness damage when you attack. (Though I admit that I didn't check it myself as of this moment)

Personally, I think that the weapons that can also qualify as another weapon, don't receive the passive bonuses of their alternate qualities? (Like the cobalt qrytys as a dagger, and the red argus as an axe), though I could be wrong.

If using Shinken at 1 range, it will favor the main weapon, even if not a sword.

It also seems to change with Ambidexterity.

Tested with a Screaming Tome.

Can Blue Iron Shields -please- have a chance for different materials? It makes it really annoying when stocking them in shops because every single Blue Iron Shield you will ever get will be the same, thus you'll have to reorganize your inventory to stock the correct one.

Alternatively if that suggestion for renaming items gets implemented, it'd solve this problem nicely.

So, just as a fight concluded in an accel dungeon, a player seemed to disconnect and produce the 'infinite turn' bug as they did.

When the battle screen cleared, instead of being in the dungeon, that's where we were placed.

Some roaming around and it seemed to just be a black void in the lower left hand side followed by red void in the rest of the 'map', and a few moments later, a rock border spawned in the black void area. On top of me no less. I assume that was the dungeon's border or something, but, after that me and those who were stuck had to relog to appear back outside the dungeon.

A piece of notepaper can be seen tacked on the Cellsvich notice board. It seems like it was just ripped straight from a notebook without much finesse.

The paper reads as follows--

I'm willing to buy any amount of the following materials for the prices as listed below. If you want to haggle, talk to me, odds are I'll be more willing to budge if you've got a lot.

This is just silly, in my opinion at least. I'd suggest Dive giving the user an Earth weakness to off-set this scenario somewhat (what with being heavily resistant to earth whilst actively going directly against what its given bonus implies). Not really a balance-issue persay, it just feels like it makes sense.

In the same vein, Airborne could give a Wind weakness, but, that's pretty much player exclusive, and I'm not sure how many other statuses there are like this that could possibly give weaknesses too. (But hey, it'd give LBs all the more reason to do nothing but Skyhigh + Typhur. That's what we want, right?)

Mutating a gun into a bow seems to remove its SKI scaling entirely.

In addition, despite how many rounds it may have, it'll only attack once, and the power upgrade bonus still seems to be reduced to account for rounds (thus a 4-shot gun won't see any difference).

Also, not sure if this is a bug or not, but they don't receive Flank's bonus despite not being considered 'Gun' type anymore.

Perhaps when towns get targeted by Black Beasts, after another update or two, the town being targeted would have a kind of warning system for such (like guards, or outposts that see them coming, if that would work). These would tell players two or three minutes in advance to a Black Beast invasion, so that those that did not wish to participate (young/really old/incompetent characters) would have a chance to head indoors, or to another town.

Example

Update X.X2
-Karatyn gets rekt by Black Xs all day errday

Update X.X3
-After realizing these attacks are going to continue for a while, Karatyn has upped their security with alarm warning outposts inside and outside the city.

Another mob that attacks towns besides black beasts would be cool. It could even be a huge boss AI that attacks the Arena since most players would be there and multiple people could join besides just a party of 4.
