You see, I was in a dungeon with my buddy and we're talking on skype. Then suddenly, I see a chest. I pick the lock, and when it breaks, I click it and a monster starts coming at us and engages us as I open the chest.
The chest had a teleport trap. So it teleported me into a version of the tutorial battle as I was engaging the battle, but my friend wasn't there, it auto-kicked me from the party and he had said I disappeared. When I killed the tutorial Jammer, I couldn't use a reset stone or anything but my race was stuck at Karatynn when i'm a vampire and all my classes and stuff [Exlcuding items] were reset as if I ate fruits of blandness or something, but my level stayed. Items disappeared, and it's as if I created a new character at a set level. In short terms.

I got teleport trapped into the tutorial battle.
Character gets glitched with soul icon only, can't use vanity mirrors as for they're bugged for me.
Character levels for classes and main character level stayed.
Lost murai and items not in bank.
Trait Points got reset, class points refunded, talent points stayed.
Save slot got overwrited on all three slots. But only the first one loads. This has been confirmed via me earning an item and it still being there when loading the second and third slots.

Overall Conclusion: I -Hope- I don't have to remake or anything. I worked hard for my items and what-not so...this is kind of disappointing.

Fortune Feather! Apus gains some resistance to the attack!
Weak! Apus takes 5 Wind damage.
Apus takes 4 Darkness damage.

Apus is still treated as having a weakness whenever Fortune Feather applies the 10% resistance to an attack. It has 25% wind weakness normally. So it should have been 15%.

Bonders have 5% less total growth than every other Promotion.

Dearest Customers,

Ms. Moogle's Market (located in the south-west region of Dormeho) will be having a Discount Week in the near future. All items will be 10% off or more! There will also be at least one Rebellious Spirit on sale during this time so be sure to check regularly as the timing of this week is a mystery~.

Happy shopping~

I been having trouble lately with a small problem in trading. It a pain in the ass trying to find a item you got one of even more so as the game goes on due to gathering more and more stuff in your bag. This is not game breaking or anything like that but it is time consuming and annoying.

As such I think it would be useful to have a button in your bag which auto sort it, moving enchantment to one area, useable items, food, Misc, Ores, Wood, So on so on.

I do believe this would be a useful add on for it would save alot of people alot of time in the long run when searching for items or trading. I been in trades quite alot where I want something or they wanted something off me and we both just have to keep scrolling around are bag trying to figure out were it was.

Would love to see this in game and I thank you for reading.

[float=left][/float] So, it's been a little while since our last update. The reason, of course, being those woeful computer troubles. But the clouds have parted and now the light shines on another update. A rather plump one, at that!

First, we have a new Summoner promoted class, which brings all existing classes to having two promoted classes each. I think, for the near future, I'm going to shift focus away from class additions, and work on other things. We're in a good spot and everyone's nicely represented. That said, I have every intention of adding many more classes, so class lovers need fear not. To go along with the new class, a large number of changes have been made to Youkai and things surrounding them.

We also have a large number of gameplay related changes, some balance related, and some adding new functionality to existing skills. Balance changes are of course intended to make things that people find frustrating more capable of management and just make things more fun and varied overall. A jewel is more interesting to look at when it has many facets to it.

But with that all out of the way, the notes are below, so read them if you want to know what's up!

1.17
Bonder - A new Summoner promoted class, the Bonder, has been added. Bonders, like their name suggests, favor bonding with a small number of Youkai. Though that bond, the Youkai and the Bonder work in harmony, bringing out the potential in each. To a Bonder, Youkai are not only tools of power, but irreplacable friends.

• Added 12 new skills belonging to this class.

• Combat Text - While on, all combat related text will be displayed in the main chat box. While off, it will only display in the battle tab.
  
• Chat Filter - While on, replaces most curse words with Sigrogana Legend appropriate words. Turn it on if you hate curse words or just want the authentic Sigrogana Legend experience.

• Wink; No longer has level restrictions. Charm LV is equal to half of Lilu's level.
  
• Black Rose; Charm LV is equal to half of Wawa's level.
  
• Alluring Beauty; No changes.
  
• Rose Whip; Charm LV is 15. (Existing items may not be affected.)
  
• Papilion Butterflies; Charm LV, if Charm is inflicted, is 10 instead of 3.

1. Damage formula now follows this pattern: [Stat] + [half of Youkai LV]. (The only exception to this is Byakko's Thunder Claw, which deals Stat + Youkai LV.)
   
2. FP cost now follows this pattern; [Base Cost] + [half of Youkai LV].

• Fire Wail (Nerifian)
  
• Wink (Huggessoan)
  
• Ruby Beam (Isespian)
  
• Apodis (Mercalan)
  
• Black Rose (Huggessoan)
  
• Hunter Wind (Sylphid)
  
• Cresyr (Aquarian)
  
• Fairy Lance (Mercalan)
  
• Frostbite (Aquarian)
  
• Whirlpool (Aquarian)
  
• Shatter Beam (Isespian)
  
• Deathtouch (Huggessoan)

1. Chance for Youkai gifts to drop from ore nodes increased to 3% (from 1%).
   
2. Friendship gain for gifts the Youkai's race prefers increased to 5x normal value (from 2x).
   
3. Friendship now increases by 0.2 if a Youkai is summoned when a battle is won.
   
4. Experience points acquired by the Youkai is now increased by 1% for every point exceeding 60 Friendship. (At max Friendship, this is a 40% increase.)
   
5. The friendship bar in the Youkai Contract Manager now changes colors depending on if you are below or above the threshold with which they can ignore orders. (This is also the indicator for if a Youkai is a Bonded Youkai.)

It’s been established long ago that the core system of SL2 is its combat system, but I believe that it would benefit immensely from having more than one core system. As it stands the combat system is impressively complex, but just about every other system is basic and un-engaging. This poses a problem when a player wants to change their focus to keep things from getting stale, but there’s nothing interesting to change focus to. I believe it’s time to take steady steps towards making other central systems as engaging as the combat system itself. I’ll be dedicating this thread to economics, and if this is well-received then I may suggest more in the future (but not immediately, because this takes a lot of time).

Right now the murai system is handled in a very basic way: Murai is initially gained through dungeons, selling items to NPCs, and quests (but mostly dungeons) and used for repairs, upgrades, guilds, etcetera. While these things are fine, they’re not enough to prevent murai from piling up, and putting in the effort to become rich doesn’t feel like as much of an accomplishment as it should since past a certain point murai is effectively useless. In this case I believe it’s better to take baby steps, so this is a building block suggestion that I hope can open the door to great things in the future.

Concept: To make a system that allows players to make a financial impact in different areas, creates a more alive and interesting environment, provides additional murai sources, and introduces and promotes further uses of murai aside from buying items.

How it works: Firstly, each town/city/etc would need a “treasury.” Far from just being a useless variable identical to the amount of murai the area holds, it would instead be a percentage indicator of the area’s current wealth. This would drop by 1% every IC day (subject to adjustment if it ever seems too fast or too slow). An area with a wealth level that’s high will function normally, but if an area’s wealth level drops too low, poverty-stricken citizens may occasionally wander about with increased frequency (easily recognizable by ragged clothing/robes). Of course, there are many special events that could be tied in with the increasing or decreasing of this value, so there’s a lot of room to get creative. Wealth level would be increased by 0.001% for every 1 mura spent in the area (essentially making 1% equal to 1,000 murai). Black beast attacks, as well as future negative events, could decrease the affected area’s wealth by 1% when they occur.

There should be a way to feed murai directly to any area’s treasury (not unlike donations to Hikari) for the rich to dump their murai off on, and someone who donates the most to an area in an IC month could receive a special reward through l-net’s gift function. If linking each shop NPC to a specific area is (understandably) too much of a hassle, this could also be the primary/only method of increasing an area’s wealth.

On the subject of additional sources of murai, dungeons are nice to have, but sometimes people just don’t feel like killing monsters for a living. I believe that certain NPCs should give you simpler tasks to complete that reward murai based on how competent you are at the given task. Take Risu, for example. Rather than having her prepare all of the food herself all of the time, she could have a conversation topic where she hires the character to help her fill an order. She would then give them special ingredients that can be used to make a special (unusable, though it could still give exp to the craft) food item through cooking to be given back to her. The murai reward would scale to the character’s cooking level, and this task would only be performable once per in-game day. Other NPCs like blacksmiths could give similar tasks.

Why this would be beneficial: This adds a dynamic way to set areas apart to keep them from feeling stagnate, giving us a more immersive world. An area could fall into poverty, but all it would take is a few motivated characters to change that. Not to mention the interesting consequences that would happen to a town if its wealthy benefactors were jailed, kidnapped, or met untimely ends. That in itself adds a completely new angle to role-play. It also has a lot of potential to be built upon in the future, meaning the game itself will come closer to reaching its full potential.

Feedback is of course both encouraged and appreciated from the community as a whole. I’m unsure of how feasible this is to implement, but it would certainly make the game more enjoyable for me.

Edit: Just a minor typo correction.

This was on the old forum, and I forgot who made it, but list your SL2 characters as pokemon. Include one to two types, one normal ability, possibly a secondary ability, and a hidden ability. Also, rate their stats (HP, ATK, SP. ATK, DEF, SP. DEF, and SPD) from 0 stars to 5 stars, and any other info if you want.

Lately, I've seen some players with characters that have no torso overlay. New ones are a bit obvious when it comes to it, but some have other overlays, but no torso item (despite the rule). Sometimes it can be cache errors, but to prevent that, could the tutorial be modified to require you to be wearing a torso item before you continue? It'd help prevent people from breaking the rule and using the censor bar as "pants" (when the samurai pants overlay exists anyway).

Now, before you all go "NO KILL HIM" on me, I have thought about this for a while. I think this is balanced enough to suggest.

Now, the idea of Ultimate Chain Skills is that players, preferably higher level, creates an ultimate skill that they use in battle by chaining more skills than would be possible by Momentum. Now, to create a skill, one would spend Murai based on the rank of skill, and of course, higher rank skills that allow more skills to be chained would cost more Murai.

Now, a few things. One, BW overencumberance would disallow the use of these. Two, these would cost neither FP or Momentum, but would immediately end the turn. Instead, they would have a stat of their own, filled up by fighting and lowers a certain amount at the end of each battle. Think of them as Limit Breaks, kinda. Of course, higher rank skills would also be slower to charge in this way.

I think I've explained this well enough, actually. If there is anything I forgot, I'll fix it. Stuff like that. So, what do you guys think?
