Considerng the current state of rune mage a lot of their high end damage comes from rushing runes, this can directly attribute to the way razor does damage, it claims it's a "Resonate" but it does damage in passing.

If possible I'd rather keep it a resonate where of course if the round starts or it's focus tuned it does one instance of damage with perhaps SWA damage starting at SWA*.5 at a rune level of 1, going up .1 for every rune level to an utter maximum of SWA*1.6 per pulse and trigger, I think 2 with a chrono trigger.

If however that is deemed too much and one would rather change it to be at most 100% SWA damage at what would be a level 12 rune with chrono we could also do it where razor rune does not do large damage in itself and instead applies lingering damage as a purely trigger effect *So only when the rune is incapable of doing any more damage*

This would play into rune mages ability to apply status effects and would ultimately reduce a lot of the hate around rune mage, because currently people become very upset due to some abusers who will make a rune and serve to see the end goal of just using solo rush->all turn->all rush with razor rune which CURRENTLY would make it rush for roughly 800 damage, bout 100 damage per tick 4 times before DR twice.

And I get that, I sometimes don't want to rush my completed rune at all because I hate that the rushing of the runes doing more damage than this big rune is exploding, even if I'm not personally abusing the rune and typically rushing a fully powered chrono rune to explode the razor itself makes me reel a bit from how much its doing compared to the rest of the rune. I do think if you spend 5 turns making a rune it should be strong but I disagree that rushing a rune should be a means to do damage.

I'd like to see all turn and solo turn acquire more range for aiming runes, but for that to even be an option we need to make all rush and solo rush no longer lethal.

Getting myself aquainted with the map maker, I decided to play around and use the Old Cellsvich map as a template and loose inspiration for a completely different town. The layout is very much similar, though the atmosphere and detail has seen a visual overhaul, to create the feel of an entirely different town, where the small scale of things makes it feel cozy. Now, while this was my introduction to the map maker, I've come to be pretty proud of what I've created so far.

Any feedback is welcome. I'd like to make this the best I can, so whatever people think might make a neat addition, or improvement to this map, I'd like to hear opinions.

Greaper doesn't seem to be applying to Unmasking trail, a Prinny took 255 damage before and after I purchased the skill.

I thought this might be a bug since Greaper applies to Nova Eraser seemingly. (https://www.neus-projects.net/viewtopic....38168&)

Since the recent updates to the HUD transparency changes, building under the HUD display is now hard to do which is a pain in most top left corners. Even if holding down DEL just results in this:
  aa8cd4be2947e2ca9568afa5cd9cefa8.gif (Size: 396.63 KB / Downloads: 562)

It's nothing major but it's a minor inconvenience to build in those corners. It just now as shown above, when hovered over with your mouse brings the hub back as if the HUD transparency settings were set on Hidden or Semi. It's the same when not building as well.

To add my HUD transparency settings are set to off.

I suggest a Patreon item that allows you to do something akin to making custom foods. Whether that be creating a recipe to add to your list with a custom description/icon, creating a template food item that accepts a custom description/icon, or something else entirely. It would be nice to be able to cook food that isn't just the standard options in the game.

Of course, these foods wouldn't do anything special stat-wise. I would be against them giving any stats or special recovery benefits, because it isn't meant to be an item of any actual mechanical power.

Shameless suggestion to reuse the SL1 Iron Chef icon for it. Allez Cuisine!

I suggest a donation item that functions as an infinite use Alga Plume. They are incredibly convenient for frequent dungeon divers, and the upkeep on Stolen Goods to buy them is more of a nuisance than anything else. For that reason, they make a decent candidate for a Donation Item to help with.

I suggest creating a donation item for shovels and hoes that do not break, in much the same line of thinking as golden pickaxe, bone saw, and bucket.

These are convenience items for farming and digging.

As a small disclaimer, I have discussed with many people about submitting this and have received positive reception, mostly being encouraged to post this, I made double sure I would not be overstepping anyone, I've been given the OK sign on submitting my work by Sparrow.

The arena is a pretty outdated map at this point, and due to the delayed state of previous reworks to the arena I ended up trying to work on it some time ago as my introduction to the mapping tool. I have gained an immense level of experience just doing this map so all of the work I put into this is not even remotely wasted.(Approx. 18-20 total hours.)

I present here a preview of the map in its entirety, it is pretty much done with the exception of NPCs/Dialogue which I'm not sure on how to implement. But here it is:



You might have to open the picture in a new tab to get a better full view of it. First off I want to say that inspiration for the Arena itself's general shape is heavily inspired by Sparrow's map (https://www.neus-projects.net/viewtopic....amp;t=7078) as I absolutely love that design for the arena itself, I felt it might have been a bit too wide though as the current arena suits clumps of people gathering and chatting, everyone looking for a fight doesn't want to be outside of hearing range of anyone else after all. With a few touches that I feel make the arena feel more homely and true to its current state, however the outside is nearly entirely different.

I designed the outside bit here to basically match our current arena with more than a few upgrades. There's no inside to arena or to the tent to cause any complications, it is all just 1 simple map with the arena's current purpose in mind.

My intention with this map over any others is that it stays true to the original design of the arena and maintains its current feel, the arena is nothing like Cellsvich, it doesn't have nice stone paths leading into it, its just in the middle of the continent.

Perks of this arena mostly include:
-Updated structure and shape of the actual arena, while maintaining its current size.

-Compact gathering areas that still allow space for those who desire it, most people do want to be clumped in the arena at the moment given that requesting a fight usually requires everyone to hear.

-Maintains the current arena's general and staying true to the original design, while also being given a more modern appearance.

-The upper wall is fully traversable, given the seating prepared It would be most opportune to potentially allow players to PvP in the ring visibly. Creating a unique spectacle unique to any other map currently in the game.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to implement NPCs, if I could be given a tool for that should my request be approved I'll do my best to place them where I'd intended them to be, but for the most part I think I'd be placing them in the same general locations, barring Tarson who might be along the front wall, or up on the inner wall.

My request here is permission to submit and finish the rest of what needs to be done, before this can be implemented if approved.

Quiet Person seems to have -3 say range instead of -2 say range as of the last update, people who normally were at the arena wall could hear my character before, but now they cannot.
