Just wanted to ask that you put this forum's link on the game versus the current one.

Each class combo gets three battles.

TL;DW, the point is that mages have a /way/ easier time clearing by a long shot, and typically don't even risk death compared to most melee builds.

The first few segments can be skipped since they're self-explanatory (mages wipe the field, who knew.) but the melee fights taking nearly 3-4x as long goes to show things are a wee imbalanced.

You also might say 'melees are better at dealing with single targets' and to that, I'll say mage spells rarely even care how many targets there are, they'll do the same damage regardless.

In brief...mages are just all around superior to just about every other class combo in the game (at least for clearing PvE--PvP is a whole nother bag of worms.) They clear faster, they've higher survivability (because they clear faster) and they're generally very simple to plan with.

Could Silent Prayer be changed to something that doesn't make it overly useful, perhaps:

4 Ranks at 5/4/3/2

or

3 Ranks at 4/3/2

Currently all the Casino in Oniga has is Chinchiro; which doesn't give it much of a reason other than to play, or get prizes, which is the preface of this suggestion, but with more of an ideal to make it more desirable with new games to add.

It's very simple what I have in mind at the moment.

Kurojakku (Black Jack or 21 for those who call it other names)

It's essentially the same card game system but with some twists. (I'd icon a table and all for it, but I can't at the moment because my car's broke down and I'm staying at a friend's in order to get it repaired. And my computer is obviously at home.)

In the regular game, face cards (which should be some of the Sigroganan World's leaders for funsies) normally are a value of 1 or 10. Which can be problematic if you bust over 21. I thought if that need be; probably make it automatically so that if you'd bust while you have a face card, you can choose to devalue it to 1 to prevent yourself from busting; or when you get the card, you decide if you want it to be 1 or 10.

The Devil Ca -- I mean Joker. Or should I say Kinu? Kinu cards are like Jokers, which generally change up the way card games can be played. Let's say you get a Kinu drawn into your hand, right? You lose, no cuts, no buts, no coconuts. It's an automatic loss on your end if you end up with a Kinu (which is why it should probably be a lower percentage draw rate).

It's a simple idea for a fun little game to add to the game and the casino. If I had anything to add to it, I'll probably post back in here.

Also, could we get the casino games as craft-able furniture to place in our houses that way we can play it with friends (ICly or OOCly) in other places. I'm sure people like having gambling nights at the house from time to time.

While trying to find a place I could get a house, I found several that were completely empty nothing changed. I eventually found a few open in Chaturanga but still.

Anyway we can get an empty house wipe//housewipe?

Community input requested.

I noticed while using the Mercury boots, the teleport movement is very nice, but it still functions like a normal move and thus you have to spend movement going around something despite just teleporting.

Is it possible to get that movement modified to a blink style, where it can go a certain distance regardless of collisions? Or was it done this way for balance purposes//coding?

From the front to the back, I suddenly lose my wings.

Some of these involve reworking current skills or adding entirely new ones. These suggestions are meant to inspire some ideas and consideration. I'm not expecting Dev to suddenly squish everything into wherever (and don't want that). The Soldier class is lackluster and it deserves some more love (and balance). If you like any of these or don't, clearly explain why, but other skill ideas would be appreciated. Keep it relative to Soldiers and Black Knights.

[Soldier]

[Charge]: Gather your energy in a charge, which boosts your move based on rank for 1 turn. If you Bash an enemy while under the effect of Charge, you will move along with that enemy in a line, pushing them away and pinning yourself against them in the same motion,inflicting blunt damage based on rank. If you bash an ally while under the effect of charge, they will move along in a line as well.
--> Rank 1: Learn skill, 4 FP, Bash Charge Distance: 3, Base Charge Damage: 25% STR + 25% DEF
--> Rank 2: 8 FP, Bash Charge Distance: 4, Base Charge Damage: 50% STR + 25% DEF
--> Rank 3: 12 FP, Base Charge Distance: 5, Base Charge Damage: 50% STR + 50% DEF

[Thousand Stab]: Spear Skill. Pierce an enemy within 2 range with a flurry of stabs, dealing Pierce physical damage equal to percentage of your STR + SKI based on Rank, total. (Reduction from defense only applies to the total damage done.)

--> Rank 5: 20 FP, WPN Power + 75% STR + 75% SKI

[Roundtrip]: Axe skill. Line (5). Throw your weapon in a line, dealing slash physical damage to all affected. Then, the axe will return to you, dealing Slash physical damage again. (Damage reduction is applied to the totam amount rather than each hit.)
--> Rank 1: Learn skill, 7 FP, Damage Per Hit: WPN Power + 1/4 STR + WPN Weight/6
--> Rank 2: Learn skill, 9 FP, Damage Per Hit: WPN Power + 1/4 STR + WPN Weight/4

--> Rank 5: Learn skill, 15 FP, Damage Per Hit: WPN Power + 1/2 STR + WPN Weight

[Skill]: Spear Skill. Line (1-2) The user lunges toward the enemy, aiming for chinks in armor or to create them, and jabs the target with the spear point, dealing bonus damage, with a chance to bypass defense (based on rank). If you are under the effect of charge, the lunge distance increases by its rank.
--> Rank 1: 8 FP, Bonus Damage: +3, 3% Chance
--> Rank 2: 11 FP, Bonus Damage: +6, 6% Chance
--> Rank 3: 14 FP, Bonus Damage: +9, 9% Chance

--> Rank 2: 14 FP, Bonus Damage: +8, -2 Weapon Durability
--> Rank 3: 16 FP, Bonus Damage: +12, -3 Weapon Durability
--> Rank 4: 18 FP, Bonus Damage: +16, -4 Weapon Durability
--> Rank 5: 20 FP, Bonus Damage: +20, -5 Weapon Durability

[Disarm]: Sword Skill. Single. When an enemy within 1 Range you are facing attacks you, there is a chance (based on rank) you will draw your sword and counteract, disarming their weapon and nullifying any damage. Prevents the use of the weapon in their main hand and appropriate skills for two rounds.
--> Rank 1: Activation Chance: SKI/4%
--> Rank 2: Activation Chance: SKI/3%
--> Rank 3: Disarming the target inflicts 10% hesitation for those two rounds.
--> Rank 4: Activation Chance: SKI/2%
--> Rank 5: If an enemy is beside you, there is a SKI/4% chance you can disarm them.

[Black Knight]

[Checkmate]: A heavy attack iconic to the Black Knights, using their heavy armor to crush and stun their opponent with power. On use, attacks a nearby target. If the attack hits, you deal bonus damage equal to your DEF, and stun chance based on rank.

--> Learn Skill, 21 FP, Max Damage: 75
--> Learn Skill, 23 FP, Max Damage: 100
--> Learn Skill, 25 FP, Max Damage: 125

[First Law]: An object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a greater force. Black Knights are conditioned to gain momentum from bypassing these lesser forces. When you take physical damage equal or less than your WIL + a bonus based on Rank, you gain an additional +1 momentum. Requires Heavy Armor.
--> Rank 1: Learn skill, Trigger: WIL+2
--> Rank 2: Trigger: WIL+4
--> Rank 3: Trigger: WIL+6
--> Rank 4: Trigger: WIL+8
--> Rank 5: Trigger: WIL +10

Additional Comment: As you can see, my opinions on scaling and FP costs are completely different than Dev's and maybe others. But at a later date, I might end up reviewing other classes using the same perspective (glares at the heals).

Posting this old thing here so people can find it and it doesn't get lost. If he ever comes back, he can just take all the stuff and repost it later.

Boom.

Once upon a time...
- I need you pro.
- Wut?
- Make Something to calculate Growth!
- I'll think about it.

Can we get a longer signature limit?

Before:
Your signature cannot be longer than 500 characters excluding BB code markup.
Your signature cannot be longer than 1000 characters including BB code markup.
After:
There is a 255 character limit.

And maybe bigger avatars?

Before:
Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 150 by 150 pixels or 100.0 KB (whichever is smaller).
After:
Maximum dimensions; width: 120 pixels, height: 120 pixels, file size: 117.19 KiB.

And this would be nice, too.
