Currently, Exgalfa's animation seems to not be appearing correctly.

It's invisible and sometimes only a single fireball appears (the purple one), but the orange ones don't appear nor rain down on an enemy anymore.

Parasitic does not restore durability on a critical hit as intended. The effect either doesn't function at all, or the weapon's durability doesn't change.

Here's a debug dump from testing. Weapon used was a Parasitic Akuijin with dragon remains material. Basic 'attack' command was used for testing. The weapon's durability decreased as normal in this specific case.

I'm thinking of making a character that is 7 years old boy that is a homeless human as a beginning and got a picture of him for a playby.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - 
I wanted to attempt and have a life of progress. Becoming an orphan without parents and being found/picked by a person where he could grow up with parents to become a great fighter. He wasn't inspired by any anime or game, but was created by my own mind that i desire to play a progress from zero. I don't want to play characters who already have some sort of skills, but from the ground zero where he will learn as he grows by his new parents.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request -
Leo was a child without family, left out at an orphanage. He usually had been visited by the non-local people from Meiaquar where he hoped to be picked up and adopted but so far nobody had the interest of adopting Leo. The people at the Orphanage were kind and helpful but he haven't had much knowledge of the outer world after he was abandoned by his parents. He trusts only on his caretaker and other orphan kids for his safety but wouldn't mind his new family to take that spot for him. He always wanted to have a family and grow with them.

His dreams are to have a family and get away from his orphanage life. But that would only come by how the story will progress in-game.

They're practically non existent. To my knowledge there is only one cave where up to 4 spawn per reboot, and last rites is a trait that many cannot take due to a faith requirement. Along with that, I'm hearing from several people (and some limited experience myself) that last rites may be bugged anyway as it seems to spawn a couple of spirits at an expected rate for a little bit at first and then never again after literal hours of grinding. With the graves and ruins that dot Korvara, there are many places where I fully expected to find spirit spawns only to find none. Can we please get some extra spawns, that aren't once per reboot also?

This is something of a general post surrounding the concept of spell domains and the things that interact with them, and a couple of potential buffs to these things that I've had rattling around for a while. Two main things here:

• The idea of giving spells that inflict dual damage types dual domains, making them more accessible for domain related buffs (even double dipping with the two relevant accessories if you wanted a big power boost for one particular spell) and access via conduiz and rotwood.
  
• Sweeping buffs for accessories that buff spells of certain domains.
  

Split the naga tail icon into two icons, one for the main tail section and another for the underbelly. This could allow for more interesting color varients and the amount of pixels that would actually be split off would be minimal but noticable.

Or

Allow there to be an overlay for naga tail icons specifically for the underbelly scales, if splitting the original icon isn't possible for some reason.

So I was testing out install earlier today, and noticed that although my stats were changing, my soft caps weren't really at all. I assume this is a bug, based on how the install skill says it functions.


Since Soft caps are your race's base +40, it would make sense that your new racial base stats would change your soft caps. 
As a dragon with 4 base celerity and 75 celerity: 62.02 scaled celerity.
as a human with 5 base celerity and 75 celerity: 62.02 scaled celerity
As an avian with  7 base celerity and 78 celerity:62.4   scaled celerity.

So they definitely aren't affecting your soft caps.
If this is NOT a bug, then I would instead ask that install clarifies this. [Does not affect soft caps.] or something.

Redtail ears and a tail on an Amalgana.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable):

I'm porting a character over from other mediums and I've decided this race/appearance combination fits the best for them.

First, for the character. The character in general works the absolute best when her outside appearance is adorable/cute as it allows her internal issues and freakish nature to become more of a contrast than it would otherwise. The redtail ear and tails (as well as her fennec nature outside of SL2) allowed some semblance of small/weakness which gives that contrast in a really strong manner. The other character justification is simply that she was always a fennec fox in other incarnations of the character and it simply makes it easier for her continuity to be at least partially one here as well.

For the RP, I think it's rather easy to imagine that a homonculi creator would make their creation look like something they find visually pleasing. That would be a very easy in character justification for the confusion, that being that her creator had their own preferences and made her look that way for their own reasons. In world, she would have been made to be a pencil pusher, so it would have been left up to the scientist quite a bit rather than having them be a big strong salamander or something similar.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request:

The reasons that I listed above I think answer this question as well. The contrast, the scientist doing what they wish, those sort of things would explain the character sort of easily. 

Bows are not in a great spot since being moved over to Strength scaling, and were put in a worse spot when Farshot penalty was increased, I would like to remedy this issue with a system change for all bows (Excluding crossbows), this would target specifically natural bows and not anything mutated such as Tamaki Shuriken, so rest assured that the mythical 30 range bow will still having farshot issues.

Here is the change I recommend personally:

Quote:About Bows:

Bows can fire from a safe distance but have troubles hitting up close, if you are targeting an enemy in 1 range (Melee range) your hit is halved. (Added) Bows require good aim and a good arm to fire effectively, bows (excluding Crossbows) lose less hit from the Farshot Penalty according to the User's STR stat instead of their GUI Stat. (-1 To the farshot penalty every 4 STR.) (60 scaled STR is still required to remove Farshot penalty completely)

Can we have it so that if you are targeting a tile that you cannot see one of a few things happen.

A ) Your maximum hit chance is capped at 50%, regardless of if you are a Kaelan or otherwise.

B ) If you select a tile that you CANNOT see, you attack there regardless, even if there is no valid target there (To stop people from trying every tile in their range past vision to land a friggin invocation)

C ) Just.. disable being able to attack a tile that you cannot see. It's not ideal, but it'll stop it.


B is the one I'm more leaning to.
