Simple issue, but this can lead to getting lost in the dark. (Hurhur.)


There is no wall to prevent you from walking off the right side here. The left side is fine, but you can walk off of the map until eventually BYOND stops considering you to be on that map anymore, making the screen black until you walk back onto the map.


Unless you reach another map, but yes, adding some density over there should do.


Edit: I mean that 'area'. I know it's actually just part of the larger map and you're just walking off into some 'in between' space between intended areas.

This is a pretty simple thing. Some bugs with the UI happen when you're in a party and open up the Win Quotes you can get your icons replaces by a friend's who is also using the interface in your party. You'll see both overlap. I can repeat this indefinitely, but I asked ooc to test and it was silent. So I dunno if it happens to others or on other keys. But it happens for both people in the UI

Natural springs within some green forestry for all your wate-ry needs. Maybe in Sigrogana somewhere close the shrine.

(You can swim around or walk on water like some cool ninja but you can't scale the waterfall for now.)

Geist Schritt (Zwei) seems to be vastly inconsistent when it comes to AoEs, some it blocks while others it does not block, such as Crystal Rose, it will not block Crystal Rose, but it will Block something such as Isendo and Lantern Bearer AoEs, and very recently, now it blocks Wretched Oil too.

Perhaps Geist Schritt (Zwei) should receive the same treatment that Spell Snatch received, both being very similar in what they do, but Geist Schritt serves as a very large momentum shift instead.

So here's what I propose, similar to Spell Snatch, Geist Schritt (Zwei) should not block AoE attacks anymore, both to keep it consistent, and not make Geist Schritt (Zwei) the end all be all GS Skill.

In SL2, there is one thing, one hideous thing, that completely forces all characters to have at least 30 defense, if not much more. Between softcaps destroying glass cannons and this other thing destroying glass cannons, even magic gunners or evokers are god damn space marines in their builds, simply because the alternative means being completely shredded to pieces the absolute second you step foot anywhere near Tannis or Dormeho.

I am of course talking about Dark F****** Calling, which I will refer to as DFC for the rest of this post. A skill that needs a very, VERY important change to be made to it, for reasons I'll be getting into. The "DFC" is to differentiate it between disconnecting, which is a very different problem, and to troll people who are into loli characters. Yeah, I went there. Come at me.


Scenario: Steadfast Black Knight and his partner, Glass Cannon Gunner/Rogue are in a party and go to Tannis to fight beasts, spawning on the opposite ends of the battlefield. The two begin by moving closer together so they can concentrate their attacks and drop the beasts quickly, but due to the terrain are not yet beside one another by the time DFC begins. While ordinarily, Incognito would mean they'd charge towards the Black Knight, Dark Calling is an action with a range spanning the entire battlefield, allowing the three beasts so teleport straight towards the gunner/rogue and spam Black Roar. "Okay, fine, Roar doesn't do all that much damage, even a glass cannon can take a few roars." Except Roar jacks their attack up, and DOES NOT COUNT AS AN ATTACK, MEANING THEY CAN IMMEDIATELY DFC TO THE GUNNER AGAIN, EVEN IF IT RUNS AWAY AND HIDES BEHIND IT'S FRIEND. Without fleeing as an option, the gunner has one choice: "Do I sit here and attack twice, and die, or do I run and die tired?"

There's no defense besides raw numbers. There's no kiting, there's no keep away, there's no strategy at all. You either tank or you die, end of story, goodbye, see you. And I'm seeing it more and more with the mountain raid. There'll be that one utility/support character or maybe someone lower levelled, etc. DFC ganking. No keepaway, no kiting, just raw numbers or death.

The change: Obviously, Dark Calling was added as a failsafe - if the town terrain made the battle impossible to resolve, the beasts would teleport. The problem is, they can teleport successively since a basic attack is the only thing that counts towards "If it hasn't done X in X many turns." Dark Calling is important, and can't be removed. But what absolutely NEEDS to happen is that Black Roar needs to count as an attack towards preventing DFC Spam. It also needs to prioritize characters without Incognito if someone DOES have it.

((Moved my post to Suggestions.))

I still think the easiest solution to this would be an fantasy afterlife system for this. The game was made on the rule of thumb in consent, why can't it apply to the game mechanics itself?

Fights are separated between Lethal, Serious, Spar and Training.

Whenever you are defeated in a Lethal fight, a bleeding skull icon appears above you to symbolize that you are dying. Main Class curates can click this skull to attempt a revival on you. While you are dying, you get 'frozen in place' and they have 5 minutes to revive you. (This is mostly so you can RP your death or something before parting ways to the otherworld, or to give people time to save you.)

If you are a Vampire or Lich, you're sent to the Oblivion, where you should wait 7 in-game days to resurrect at the Nameless Shrine's cavern. Or 1 in-game hour, if you are a Lich. Vampires defeated with their Essence at 0 will be killed normally and will have to go through the same ordeal as mortals.

After the time runs out, you get a message prompt asking if you are ready to be sent to limbo yet (I have SL1 in mind here, and I still love the concept behind it), if you press 'no', five more minutes of wait are added, but if you press 'yes', you'll be off to the otherworld, where you have to work your way, as a Soul, to restore your body back and return to the Living Realm of Sigrogana, trying to convince Enma that you shouldn't be dead yet.

You start your journey back to the living realm in the depths of the underworld, all fucked up for short. While you are dead, you'll be permanently cursed by every Curse skill available for a Hexer, upon entering combat. And your equipment will be temporarily locked as you have to walk through Lazarus, fighting some other corrupted spirits (or fleeing from them, if you can't fight) to restore your condition by finding the Devil Trees, and stealing one fruit from each of them. Each fruit will restore one slot of your equipment and cure you from one curse. This part I would suggest to make it a big nuisance that depends on extreme RNG. Such as a lot of 10% chances or something unfun like this.

Once everything is done and cured, you'll have Enma's appreciation and he 'might' give your body back for amusing him. (Maybe after fighting a pretty hardcore boss of some sort?) and once the body is back, you can walk your way out of Lazarus, towards the only accessible part for the whole populace of Sigrogana, as it's hinted, that is protected by Reapers. And from there onwards, those Reapers might be either IC or just more NPCs trying to keep you from going out of where you belong. (Reaper race when.)

If everything is done right, you'd be back to the living realm in no time. (Just being optimistic. Of course there should be some pretty hardcore difficulties to go back to life like this.)

This could make death be semi-serious, in a way, while being consensual.

Something wrong is not right here. Probably tied to that last Golden Eyes fix?

Kaelensians can be blinded, even if at 20+ scaled SAN. The passive says they gain immunity to it, like Glykins completely not getting inflicted with Poison.

For a long time now, I've felt myself drifting further and further away from the majority of the community. What I see as silly or immersion breaking, they welcome with open arms and take genuine joy in doing. Some of my issues I've taken up with the appropriate parties, but confronting -everyone- about how they play the game would likely just be seen as hostile, so I've left it alone for the most part, until now.

I would point to the 'funny quotes' thread, but it seems most of the images that would be relevant to my case are dead now. Instead, I'll provide a few text based samples of what I'm talking about. Yes, these are all real examples. I've censored names.


EXAMPLE A: Taking Game Mechanics Literally.

Quote:Person 1 says "Think they commonly go by Raijin."
Person 1 says "And then the enhancement--uhhh...I'unno what it's called. But apparently it hits even harder when you hit weak sots. Or some fancy shit like that."
Person 2 says "Harder when you hit weak spots....Vorpal? "
Person 1 says "--Yeeeah, that's it."
Person 1 says "Then it's made outa' that material that makes it a good uh, castin' tool."
Person 3 says "...Conduiz."
------------------------------------------------
Person A says "Naturally the one that seems 'strongest' is often the most basic and tried techniques."
Person B says "You mean the dark magicians?"
Person A says "Practioners of dark magic and pain specificly yes."
Person A says "Channeling pain, hatred and anger. Extremely effective."
Person B chuckles. "Yeah, those tend to be a pain. I just know a little bit of dark magic and fulgurmancy, but the rest... I just kinda suck at."
Person A says "Yet with how often the tactic is utilized, becomes predictable."
Person B says "Have you gotten used to it in a way that helps you?"
Person A says "Of course. But it will do me no good in 'true' battles."
Person B says "-- You mean how in a 'real' battle the opponent might do something entirely different?"
------------------------------------------------
Person A says "I've gotten to the point in my cooking training where somehow... for some reason... my general lack thereof of physical ability is somehow hindering my advancement in the culinary arts."
Person A says "Don't ask me how, I just know that's how it is."
Local OOC Person B: I really hate people who take game mechanics literally
Local OOC Person A: Oh we are probably not gonna get along that well then.

------------------------------------------------

Person 1 says "Divine Shower?"
Person 2 says "Yep."
Person 1 says "Quite the Invocation."
Person 2 says "Unfortunate that there's a huggesoan spell that does it better."
Person 3 says "I promised not to use dark magic."
Person 1 says "It is not for him.... I ask he not learn it."
Person 1 has a serious tone to his voice....
Person 1 says "Are you referring to Wretched Oil?"
Person 3 says "I-I have a idea..."
Person 1 says "Yes.....?"
Person 3 says "Healers in the back use that spell rescue and then Mages use Blink. to get out of there."
Person 1 says "Yes. I mean out of combat though..."

Quote:Person A says "How old 're ya?"
Person B she's su-yung.
Person C waves idly at the Shaitan.
Person A ikr
Local OOC Person Su-Yung: jesus christ i almost spat out my drink
Person A says "... Guess you could say."
Person A says "You're Su-Yung."
Person Su-Yung says "...What?"
Person Su-Yung says "Yes, that's my surname."
Person A says "Otherworldly puns, don't mind me."
Person Su-Yung stares blankly.
Person C what's this, stupid jokes make her laugh.
Person A says ".. See? She gets it."
Person A says "I mea-- oh, I'm sorry."
Local OOC Person Su-Yung: Can we ban Person A for stealing a joke from OOC? This is permaban material
---------------------------------------------------------------
Person 1 says "I mean, I remember reading this series once... actually no wait I'm currently following it. Basic premise is, there are these two teens, one male, one female. They're both in the student council for this school for prestigious people and are both sorta geniuses that like each other. Thing is, they're oblivious to that fact, and because of the hyper competative nature of their life style, they both share a mutual belief that whoever confesses first is essentially relegated to a non-controlling roll in the relationship."
Person 1 says "So the entire series is just about these two trying to play intense high level mind games in otherwise average day to day situations to try and get the other to confess first."

Quote:A duckneck neck extends out of the sky, going down to grab a sandwich with its duck-teeth. "Weh." It then extends its neck back into the sky.

Phase Fang is not performing one of its listed effects.
Performs a basic attack on an enemy within 1 Range that deals bonus damage equal to Phase Python's level/3. If it hits, it may inflict Poison LV X (X = Level/2, min. 3), and if you're in the tile the enemy is facing, you teleport back to the tile you began the round on. If you are on any other tile, if any other enemies are in the battle, you are teleported behind a random one.

The underlined portion is not functioning. Though it was under the effects of fast offense, it might be because of that.

EDIT:It's only with fast offense that this part does not function.
