As you can see here, there is no real regard for which direction an enemy is facing when Lunar Lunatism checks for charm infliction.

Below is a brief excerpt from a fight that I got the... oh so lovely fun to take part in. And by fun, I mean it was impossible for me to even fight back. Let alone the fact that you have to actually do stuff but... Here are the caveats for Ryeser's effect.

To get the benefit of a Ryeser Critical Effect you must:
-Be faster than your target
-Be able to hit/crit your target
-The target must not RESIST! lightning.

Ryeser currently scales off of SKI/LUC at a 45/45 ratio (pretty good, if you ask me). Which means that for your HIT/CRIT and damage stats, you get to scale off of SKI and LUC alone. This leaves you very open ended on what you can and cannot do with the weapon, because so long as you have a decent amount in those stats (50-60ish) you'll be fine. To this end, you are set for your hit/crit, because they're light enough to benefit from an extended grip + lightweight for fitting form (more hit and crit for caveat #2.).

Now how does one get rid of Lightning Resist? The most obvious form of Lightning Resist comes in the form of the Beldam Aegis, to which most tanks generally use if not fangfaced, etc. Cripple arm will get rid of this. However, if you do not particularly want that. You can instead use NULL SHELL (with your gun. Because Magic Gunner) and laugh as you ignore the lightning resist with impunity. (Caveat #3 solved)

So the only issue is that you must be faster. Which.. is relatively simple due to only dodgers really taking it (who would be the hard-to-hit people anyways). If you want to assure your CEL based victory, tossing some 20-30 points into it, you'll satisfy it in most every case, and the other cases you can build up guile (or other things) to promptly make your opponent cry as you get behind them with your movement and crit their rear.

What does the critical effect of the Ryeser actually do though?

Well it removes 1 Momentum from the target so long as you fulfill every caveat above. Hit them, crit them, act before them, and let them not resist it. This effect can stack multiple times, and on a 2 round gun (3 with an extended grip) and akiimbo.. you get about 4-5 shots every time you shoot. If you dual wield ryesers, or are simply a Duelist (because why wouldn't you be with a build that focuses on hit/crit).. this means that you get about 12-15 shots.. which can reduce your opponents momentum down to 0.

What happens when their momentum reaches zero? They lose their turn, they automatically "END TURN" and do not get to act that round. They do not get 'immunity' to it (as one does with stun) to prevent it from happening next round. Nor do they get any real indication or way to fight back against it besides "have high enough crit evade (hahahahhahahaha having enough crit evade to fight against stats... 155 crit evade didn't do anything and he had 38 crit before he buffed)' so. There's no real way to win, and you only lose in this situation.

How to fix;

Make it only remove up to 2 per round??? Idk.

If you dont know whats going on read the actual post of why as was banned then read my replies they are in other closed topics for a reason... just because a gm says something doesnt mean its true it wasnt even a constant issue and its literally stupid


if you actually read my last thread im kinda sick of making threads... and you ending them and making it excessive like my ban that was excessive and my mute on other server which was excessive 99999 minutes for venting about my own personal problems.. which is an excessive mute... and 3 days for making a few faces and saying whoa mama isnt innapropriate expecially when not directed towards an object.

{As for what actually happened, I was not there personally but from what it sounds like this wasn't a 'one time thing', you have been continuously told to stop by the GM but looks like you did not learn. Ignoring a GM's warnings is against the rules and in my opinion worth banning for. You might be new but that's no excuse and willfully ignoring Dystopia because you don't like their ruling is not going to slide.

I will be locking this thread after this post, if you decide to make another thread, you'll be banned on the forums too. Don't make another thread. Also, stop PMing people about this, seriously, this is only making it worse for you.} Slydria post

You dont know me and you dont even know what happened or why i was banned is the problem.. i couldve been banned for anything and youd never know.. because you didnt look into it.. you think its constantly but thats a personal opinion, and evidence is not needed because i had to say it 3 times in other post because you keep locking the thread and making personal assumptions like i said it doesnt matter what i do outside of the game.. you dont control what i do in my life.

Game you were banned from: Signogana Legends 2?
In-game name (key):Naruko Strife
Reason you were banned:i honestly have no idea
The length of the ban, if you know:4320 approximately 3 days
Who banned you, if you know: Dystopiaguy
Why we should unban you: Well to be fair, i have no idea why i was banned in the first place forgetting to put something in a bracket i believe, last i checked everybody was human, this is literally my 2nd day i kinda think im getting better at rp atleast i think, But for forgetting to put one thing in a bracket and getting banned for 3 days for it is uncalled for. Its not as easy as you think to rp probably for somebody whose done it for years maybe..




Innapropriate RP/emotes are a problem.
Harassing people is a problem, be it through pagers or OOCly.
Getting banned from one server and hopping to the next to complain is a problem.

You would know this, if you'd bothered to read the rules of the game.

Again, please read them. They're there so you know what's acceptable and what's not.

My answer is still no. Try again in three days.


it doesnt really matter what i do through pagers, stop bending the rules...

whoa mama is not a inappropriate rp and is not directed towards anybody...i wouldnt even call it inappropriate at all

the 3rd one was an issue i have the right to vent because it was wrong of you to do in the first place giving me excessive bans and i havent even played for 3 days, for making stupid faces a few times is not a reason for a 3 day ban...are you kidding me.

can i talk to any other gm?


you cant even speak actual facts to me its just your biased opinion its not up to you what i do outside of game and you dont dictate what i do in my life, i shouldnt be banned in the first place... and whoever told you ive been warned excessively is lying, and this might be an rp game but theres also something called a mistake ingame.. i dont see what the actual problem is and you excessively banned me from the occ in other server for 99999 minutes which is appromiately 69 days

I was thinking. And when I think, I come up with things. And when I come up with things, I ask questions. If you don't want me to think, buy me beer. Keep me buzzed enough that I can fall asleep instead of staying up with random thoughts.

Okay. So. On to the topic.

Generally, aliases follow the same rules as names. These rules include...

2 - No names with numbers or special characters. (I.e., 'Duke Nuk3m 123'.) The only exception would be for diacriticals[1] in appropriate names. Mechanations can, within reason, use numbers in their names (for example, listing their model number or something else like that).

But then I wondered about... what if something wasn't quite right? What if a character was... playing a prank and pretending to not be right in the head, or if two people OOCly agreed to create an IC scenario with an impostor? And you wanted to use the alias to clue people in that things weren't exactly what they appeared to be on a surface level?

Sample scenario (the prank; pretending to be possessed.)

Person A: Hey!
Person B: ...
*person B changes to their alias*
Person B(?) turns toward them. Slowly, he takes a single uneasy step forward.

This simple touch would probably hammer the point home much more strongly that "oh crap, something's wrong." It shows that the characters themselves can ICly detect that this isn't normal, instead of people playing dumb or needing to OOCly explain what's going on. I personally like it, buuuuuut it does involve "Special Characters" so I wanted to ask.

Is this okay, for aliases?

my name is Naruko,Strife ingame i was recently banned for 3 days for forgetting to put one sentence in a bracket and demand justice...i dont see how thats a problem? Its like nobody can make no mistakes it not as simple as you think when it comes to doing this repeatedly.. i just want to be unbanned all ready this is ridiculous

As of right now, stat reduction skills are horrendously monstrous right now. Rampaging getting reduced was a step in the right direction, but certain things (and boosters) are huge.

Let's take Archer for instance...

Sure, they take a penalty to hit.. but against uh. Anyone.. that can't dodge.. Well they take -15 to STR/SKI (and lose their subslot) or.. they take -15 CEL/Lose their movement options.

This only gets worse if your weapon has rampaging to stack negative stats onto it, forcing people down even more on stats... And hey, if you have a bow? Fantastic, -20 Defense from an aerial razor.

Lord only knows if you are using a gun and decide to vampire shell someone, which gives you +12, and them -12... which creates a 24 point disparity...

Just.. Check over numbers Dev. They're getting really silly, and the fact that I can reduce someone to worthless stats with very little setup is silly.

Godrod is currently not using any scaling from staff-type weapons. I tested it with Graft and well. The results are below. Staff of Eyes tested ( with 40 strength) then tested with Mugendai (18 WIL and 40 Sanctity)... Then tested with a Quarterstaff (110% STR scaling, same stats as with the SoE)

So, in this beta, can we get our BASE stats displayed in our stat screen? So we don't have to guess?
