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.

So I returned to SL2 about a week or two ago, starting with a new character, and this is where I found Shael, just glued to that spot. At first, I thought he had been glued there for it to be easier to talk to him, especially given that this lets you hookshot back up one island to find the shortcut for him.

He's been in that spot since, reboots, updates, and all.

Eventually, I noticed he still says this while you're passing him:


So either Shael's pathfinding is bugged, or this message should be removed from his AI.

Side note (If he is meant to stay there):

Okay so we all know that bare fists gain crit momentum every time they crit, this allows martial artists with bare fists some fun times with mixed martial arts.

Problem, styx shout allows bare fists to produce 1-9 momentum per use ( depending on number of enemies)

This works with fluer allowing the first styx shout to grant a crazy amount of momentum.


Now this isn't an issue pvp, except maybe as a counter to a grand summoner papillion...

This does however trivialize pve, but pve is already trivial, also bare fists are weak without martial artist, which for this to be gross needs fluer......

Apparently, this can happen. The disappearing message is immediately following the spotted message, and the black beasts never spawned on the mountain.

* Engagement
- While an enemy is in melee range and facing the tile you are in, you are considered 'engaged'.
- While engaged, your Move is halved.
- Furthermore, when you use Movement, the unit(s) engaging you will get an attack of opportunity if they have a melee weapon equipped, before you move. This only applies to the first step of your Movement unless otherwise noted. (Enemies who can attack you in this fashion will be marked by a red ! above their heads while you're planning your movement.)

---

A slightly random idea. Wouldn't apply to skills that move you like Sidecut/Backflip/etc. Not sure if it's necessary but I thought it would introduce a little more tactical decision making, especially if you're a ranged character (it becomes more important to not let the enemy get too close since escaping is harder), and make certain skills more useful.

Also, the new changes are affecting the combat, once you do your first move, the upper HUD disappears, as well as the one for the battle order. And when the battle is concluded, everything is gone forever until you relog.

Leporidae's racial ears are being displaced/misplaced upwards when doing the south walk animation. It's clearly disproportional when you check it. Also, this seems to be happening to all of Leporidae's ears available, but only towards the south state.




Example of how far it seems to be displaced when walking south, it should be stationary on this line I put, but the ear icon goes up instead of following the head motion forward.



Also, added to it, there seems to have a 'ribbon' in the middle of the icon that makes the ears look fake. Can this pixel be removed too?

So, mainly, how does Partial Clears work?

I've been to a LV60 Cavern and tried to full-clear it, normally, full-clearing a high level dungeon gives over 250'000-300'000 bonus exp as a 'Full Clear'. But in the end I was wrong and scored a Partial Clear for overlooking one single floor and all my time spent in the dungeon was for a mere...


... Even though I was sure I had more than one floor cleared, if not all but one left. Is this supposed to reward so little Exp? I think Partial Clears are only considering the core floor for their 'partial' bonuses.

So! For a counter-measure, can the core give you a warning if the dungeon is not full-cleared and you need to confirm with a 'yes' or 'no', or something like it? (Pretty much similar to the pop-ups that appear you interact with Beast Raids.)
