It's possible to turn around with the 'End turn' command, if you toggle off 'Auto-end turn' in your settings. This probably wasn't intended, with the change to turning a while back.

If you happen to have a 1 momentum skill, and you're left with 1 momentum, you can use it to turn around for only 1 momentum.

This is going to sound way more dramatic than it really is, but I want to discuss what I consider one of the biggest failings of SL2 as a setting; stagnancy.

In SL2, the primary interactions taken in roleplay are generally driven purely by personal history and character - this isn't a problem in itself and plenty of people enjoy it, but the reason behind it is the bigger issue: Nothing happens in the world of SL2 so there's nothing else to actually work with. There are no elections, no political events, no wars, no inventions, no scandals, et cetera. There's a solid background of lore with which to base a character's history on, but from the moment you begin playing them everything about them from then on is going to be entirely driven by other characters and maybe some story beats the player themself decides to impose.

Now I'm not going to be just another person that whines "MODS NOT DO EVENTS GAME BAD", I don't think that's a good solution and it puts more of a workload on people who are essentially volunteers who already have other duties to see to.

I think the problem of stagnancy in the world is easily solved simply by adding IC news of what's happening with the world, either on the title screen, the forum, or even a news board actually present in-game near the activity hub of the various towns (Cellsvich Square, Dormeho fountains, etc). By having an actual idea of what's happening in the world, even if it's just the smallest little things, players can make their characters feel like they're actually connected to the world and develop them based on things that are happening - An Umbral could feel uneasy at the news a political party with anti-corrupted sentiment is gaining popularity, the collapse of a noble family in Alstalsia could be all the gossip amongst some Zerans, a decline in the mercenary trade in Kysei could explain why a Chaturangan is so active upon the Sigroganan continent.

So yeah, tl;dr I think a simple weekly/bi-weekly/monthly news feed could go a long way towards making the world of SL2 feel alive as opposed to an unchanging frozen world that relies entirely on players to fill in the gaps.

Only one submission for now, but I'll likely throw them here one at a time when I can. Here are some animation previews, upscaled for viewing pleasure.

Feedback is more than welcome! I was never terribly good at spritework but the lack of traditional Japanese equipment surprised me, and seemed like a fun project.

This was my reference material.


The DMI files are attached, alongside colored variants of the helmet. I know there's a precedent for recolored clones in the character creator, so I figured why not.

Posters on every noticeboard around Cellsvich, Dormeho, and even Tannis can be seen...

While keeping a character description open and using the diving helmet, I encountered something a little odd.



Of course this is just a small visual bug of no real consequence, but it got me and a few others thinking - how cool would it be to have the diving page, water ripples and all, as your description background?

I could see something like this being a donation item of some kind in the future, if not just flat addition, hopefully with other variations along with it, if it was ever added.

It seems that as of the last update, Painproof lost its HP cost, as someone who used it frequently I can confirm it was at the very least recent.

So, Revolver Raid Cannon cannot be used with the engineers gun based skills even though it is supposed to be considered a gun. Can we get it so that it simply is counted as a gun weapon if you have no weapon in your hands and have the trait, you still have to purchase the trait so no harm in this. If this is not a bug and working as intended. Then do state so.

Farming is great.

You know what's not great? Not being able to farm a handful of odds and ends.

Apples and bananas are two such odds and ends. Could we get the seeds for those?

My char is in Matador most of the time, I have Gradiant blur(Change between stances for free if its the 1st time during round)

Round starts, 7m, changes to Reaver 6m.
Round starts, 7m, changes to matador, still 7m.

Is it just me? or is Reaver not working with the innate?
