The Talk tab is ~still~ using the small size face icons, regardless
of your settings for face icon size in preferences. This bug was
reported on the old forums ages ago, when the Talk tab was first
released, and it still hasn't been fixed.

I strongly prefer the big face icons, because my monitor is a bit
big at 1920x1200. The small ones are 100% indistinguishable and
worthless, and it's kept me away from using the talk tab at all.

Please, please please fix the Talk tab.

Make Reflect Shots require one rank in Blade Barrier, please.

So like, I know Magic Gunners totally needed the One Shot Wonder and One Overcharge, but uh. Can we have them .not. be their own skills? Instead we toss it to ARCANE GUN. Have it have 5 ranks, with those effects happening at Rank 1 through 5. It's rather redundant, and makes characters who use those kind of weapons < shotguns especially > even tighter on Skill points.

Topic title says it all, it just sort of vanished instead of returning to me. I suppose it's either due to the update or the crash that happened.

From what I can see, Dark Claws (Shaitan's racial damage bonus) appears to prevent Guns from adding the SKI damage bonus into the equation. No other race seems to have this problem.

It's about that time of year again, where snow is about, and the lovely scent of turkey and pumpkin spice is in the air!

So, to commemorate the time of year, I'll be holding an Asagorian lottery. Tickets to enter will cost 250 murai each with a cap of 10. The lottery will be drawn at the end of the month, 12 AM CST on the 1st. At-or-about hopefully!

Prizes

1st- 1000 Asagorians
2nd- 600 Asagorians
3rd- 400 Asagorians
4th- 10k Murai
5th- 5k Murai
6th- 2.5k Murai and a Rebellion Enchantment

Send me PMs here, or post on the forums. I'l be keeping an active note on here how many tickets .have. been bought.

Tickets Bought Thus Far: 114

There needs to be atleast 25 tickets bought before I will draw, however. So if that isn't met by the 1st, it will continue on until that point.

Update

100 tickets- We sold over 100 tickets! There will be a new prize slot added!

So, recently in testing out Pure Power, I found out that Magaisendo's damage seems.... off, to say the least.

These are the variables used for testing.

RANGE = 1 < Right beside it >
WIL = 87
Magaisendo Rank = 5 ( 23 power )
Tome = N/A
Geomancy Rank = 5 ( 5 power )
Evocation Rank = 5 ( 10 power )
Enemy Resistance = 2

That's a grand total of what should be 125 power vs 2 Resistance. So, lets go to the testing ground and see what happens.

Konlei's turn.
Jammer takes 119 Earth damage.
The battle has ended.

Wait.. what? That doesn't seem right at all! Well surely its just a fluke and it would never... happen.. again.. Nope, no, it does. So that's 4 damage we're missing, and in the wrong way.

Well, let's try it again with a tome!

RANGE = 1 < Right beside it >
WIL = 89
Magaisendo Rank = 5 ( 23 power )
Tome = 21
Geomancy Rank = 5 ( 5 power )
Evocation Rank = 5 ( 10 power )
Enemy Resistance = 2

Well that should be 148 power versus 2 resistance.. so.. lets see what it does in the field.

--- ROUND 1 ---
Konlei's turn.
Konlei's turn.
Jammer takes 142 Earth damage.
The battle has ended.

Okay, what the hell. It's still 4 power under what it's actually doing.

Let's try fully geared up then!

RANGE = 1 < Right beside it >
WIL = 96
Magaisendo Rank = 5 ( 23 power )
Tome = 21
Geomancy Rank = 5 ( 5 power )
Evocation Rank = 5 ( 10 power )
Enemy Resistance = 2

Jammer takes 149 Earth damage.

Yep, its 4 damage under what it's supposed to be.

R - Range
M - Melee
C - Character

The Ms to diagonals from the character still trigger all of the following effects:

- Evasive Strike
- Oracle melee range hit/evade bonuses
- Bow hit penalty


The bow hit penalty is nothing new, and I chalked it up to "Well, the sweeper is a thing." but upon realizing (Go figure, on my oracle) that dodging bandit guns at a diagonal were triggering Evasive Strike with no realistic way of actually striking back, I realized "Okay, this is kind of stupid. No way this is intentional.

Hello!

I am currently on the hunt for a weapon with rebelling enchantment. I do not care what it is on I am after the enchantment after all. If you find one please message me back and I will arrange where we can meet up or message me back with were to meet you whatever works.

Request:
Weapon with rebelling enchantment.

Reward:
Muri also I have almost all other enchantment on me or in storage, as such happy to give one in exchange.

Thanks for your help.

I get it. Experimental system. Rushed. Prone to change.

My suggestion is simply a logical tweak that might save a lot of sifting through, and it pains me to say this, "butthurt complaints." An idea for how to -easily- adjust the system.


Thoughts on BW: Not an inherently bad idea, and probably meant to balance the Bodyguard armor, which was apparently being maliciously exploited in PVP. In general, meant to limit heavier weapons and armor to heavier classes. Good idea in theory.

Current issue: BW = Str. Str doesn't have particularly high gains overall. 30% str is common enough (Kensei, BK, VA) with 40% as the highest (Arbalest.) As such, it is very unlikely that most str based classes will pass a base str of 45. Even a simple Half Plate (one of the lighter "passable" heavy armors) weighs closer to 30, and an axe pushes you over the limit, for terrible hit penalties. A bodyguard alone almost means taking hit penalties UNARMED.


Tweak suggetion: Naturally, some classes are "heavier" by default: Arbalest and BK (Very arguably ghost because of axe skills.) These are the heavy armor classes that use axes. And heavy bows, in the Arbalest's case. As such, if one of these is your base class, you should recieve a passive modifier to BW that does not cost SP. Str x 2 instead of Str should be sufficient to allow them (The classes literally intended, according to the game, to have the heavy armor and weapons) to fight efficiently with their heavier gear without giving a free pass to "lighter" classes to go all heavy.

Reason for tweak suggestion: The modifier is that high because Arbalests literally need to stack weight; the heavy bow for bonus power, the heavy ubweapon for cannon skills, and of course, heavy armor to endure as they do so; the unlock requirements involve heavy armor, after all! As well, BKs are in a similar boat; Armor + axe alone already goes over what most BKs can carry. No one else really needs such heavy gear.
