I really think going with influence over the local big combat guilds is the better way to go here.

By having seven strongest guild by his side then

But he will still have the dungeon.... (need to show what make this guy, not-good-guy)

Spoiler for another char idea:

Character Name: Rogonja
Race: Elf
Class: Assassin
Subclass: Hitman (+40% damage vs other players)

Overskill: Terminate - Uses the stored energy from Fatal Ambush and applies it to Assassinate. Deals 1.7x Assassinate Damage. Grants the chance to instant-kill any unit 5 levels lower than the Assassin.

[agetreme]

Overskill idea:

Skill Acquisition (Alternate Scribe's overskill): Allow a player to gain customized skill.

Problem is:
>Ink and paper need to be at the same tier as the ability.

> Game Balance (in form of Cool-down time, cast time, MP cost...etc) will affect the skill.

> The damage of that skill (be it physical technique or magic) will still be calculated using Physical/Magical stats..... A melee Sorceress using physical technique is pointless since it is not going to hurt that much.....

Edit:
>Certain Technique obviously need your class to be able to equip said equipment to use. (E.g. Magic class obviously can't use Axe/Hammer technique since they can't equip those equipment)

>you need to spend mastery point to learn those skill though....Not for level 90 players since it is going to take a while before they get the mastery point needed to learn that skill but very useful for players who is still in early levels.

Spoiler for Fun stuff:

Polymorph Potion: Change user into monster. Changing their class into that monster and granting them the same special attributes (elemental weakness and immunity) in exchange for own class ability and equipment effect.

If the said monster is a boss monster, allow them to exceed Damage and HP Cap (assuming that the stats is high enough).

Problem of this potion:

> You need high grade material for high level monsters

> Losing your own class ability means any buff/summons that you used earlier is gone as soon as you transform.

> Losing equipment effect could also means losing some advantage.....

> Changing into boss monsters don't mean that your stat become the same as theirs (only a small portion of it but still much higher than normal adventurers if the monster's level is high enough). (Gap can be closed(but not completely) by having more materials of the Boss monsters)

> Skill level of Boss monster go down by one grade (Gap can be closed by having more materials of the Boss monsters)

Spoiler for Novel Spoiler:

Overuse of the potion will result in addiction (to the power) and losing your humanity. (Just like player start acting more like their avatar, user will start acting more like the monster, unable to differentiate friends from foe.)

At the worst case scenario: Lose your adventurers' status and respawn in dungeon instead. Can remain struck there if the dungeon have a lore that indicate that the boss monsters can never leave the dungeon.

Trying to revive the thread....

=
Lanster: “It would be fun.... like that Debauchery Tea Party”

Raster: “Debu....what Tea Party?”

Makirita: “The butchering tea party, a famous group in Yamato Server....You never heard of them? They are pretty famous though.”

Raster: “No matter how I see it.... De-bull-cherry tea party sound like a party of Orcs.... Sophisticated Glass-wearing Orcs...Beside, what in the world does De-bull-cherry means?”

Lanster:: “I think it is French for Tea.” (A/n: Not true)

Makirita: “I thought it is German for friends?” (A/N: again, not true)

Mistrali: “It means.... extreme indulgence in women, alcohol and money, I think...”

Raster (Thinking): 'THEY ARE ORC! DEFINITELY ORCS!!!'

=

Seriously, look up dictionary definition of Debauchery. (I thought it means something positive until I google it....)

The running Gag of the group is: Raster and Makirita have difficulty pronouncing complicated words. Especially the former.

Singapore Server:

After a Role-Playing Guild taking over the server (abandoned by Seven Sea Coalition after Anarchy's attack), Singapore Server end up being the region version of Akiba (most stable server with some form of technological Advancement).

This is due to several reason:
1. Singapore don't have much content which means most high level players are more concentrated in other Servers.

2. This also means other Players tend to skip or ignore the Server. They forgot the historical significant of the island

3. It is economically stable because the Server traded with Landers. As a bonus, the Server also treat Lander as humans (out of necessity rather than actual Human right issue to accommodate trading...because Trading with other Region players is not a good investment due to deteriorating security)

4. RP guild make it look like they have control over Royal Guard (but it is all an act though). At the worst case scenario, they discovered a loophole in royal Guard's System: "Accidentally" dropping a really huge boulder on people is not considered attacking them....

The Leader's goal is simply because he don't want Adventurers to deteriorate to same level of Goblins (the path which the region seemed to be heading, doesn't help by the fact that Demi-humans' and Adventurers' revival system are superficially the same.)

Before he decide to turn the region around, he had seen lots of things in a short period of time (nasty things which can inflicted serious traumatic scar...)

I should continue my work with those PKS bastards. Gotta balance the softy genres with organized expansionist carnivores.

Play Style:
Mostly parties with fellow guild members. He will sometimes join random players for small dungeons or open areas. Primarily plays as a raid tank. He best times playing are being main tank for massive raids with fellow guild members supporting him. When parting in dungeons he stays in defensive stance and does not make an uncalculated move. He will never wildly run into a group of enemies screaming. However, he does not get upset when fellow players do this. He understands games are a stress relief for people and he joins in some of the jokes. He has been in dungeon wipes and has never gotten mad or angry at another play for jokes or mistakes.
He is a very cautious player and when any sign of enemies he will inform the group and waits for a plan of action for each instance. He tends to start each battle by using crossbow to grab first aggro then high threat aoe skills to quickly generate more aggro. When he notices a enemy leaving him, his top priority is getting the monster back on him. He generally uses Javelin for enemies going for healers and shield throw + Javelin for others. Constantly cycles through targets casting provoke. Most battle are completed with just a pull and cycling provoke. He constantly keeps all his long term buffs up and uses emergency skills for special occasions. A good day for him is when he doesn’t a single one. He knows not all battles are easy and through gaming experience he overcomes new scenarios relatively faster than other.
He tends to only use Offensive stance when someone else wants to try being a tank in a group or he is going solo. He likes open plains more than city life. He dreams of retiring as a small farmer that grows carrots and cabbages. His favorite food is stew.

Play Style:
He likes soloing, partying, and raiding for different reasons. He likes to test himself to see how well he survives by himself and learn new ways of protecting himself when he solos. When he parties, he enjoys the fellowships of friends and is happy to provide group support and help his team mates. He loves the adventuring and finding new places with his friends. Every mountain, dungeon, valley, island, and forest is a new adventure and memory of excitement and friendship to him. He likes to overcome immeasurable challenges with raiding. He never plans to lead a raid or be one of the party leaders for raiding. He likes to be a part of the whole when legends are made. He tends to be very quiet in large groups of people or people he does not know. When he is with friends, he talks a lot and makes a lot of jokes, but when he is in the nick of a strong battle he gets quieter and listens for the commands. He is willing to sacrifice his character for the party and know being the only one left is not going to help the party.
He likes to spend his free time with his pets. He trains then and comes up with new battle strategies to use them for. He never sends them out if he does not think they will survive. He will sometimes be caught humming or whistling songs from the real world. After the catastrophe, he found that any tune or song he sings, hums, or whistles have provides a buff to his groups. Sometimes he won’t realize that he buff the group.
He usually uses his support stance in raids and parties, but sometimes they need an extra dmg dealer and most of the time he is one of the top dmger of the group.

Below is a link for a dungeon idea I made for the game. What does everyone think of it.

Wall of the Dragon Acolytes

[agetreme]

So...Kal-Mon Kiritsu is a hybrid Build tank?

=

Progress-wise, first chapter is a little full of exposition to explain thing and I am still trying to figure out a good way to make it less obvious...

Also trying to find ways to put a brutal scene into words.

=
Traditional Summoner Build (AKA Support Summoner)

What make this Build Traditional is the fact that in other game, even without their summons, Summoners can still contribute to party by acting as support.

However, ironically, despite of being "Traditional" build, this build is considered abnormal in Elder Tale since in the Game, Summoners are supposed to provide Range DPS, which is why most Summoner chose to go "Maximum Firepower" build (Skills which increase Summons' attack power).

Instead of going Maximum Power, Maximum Destruction, this alternate build (Support) give off the image of chaining and binding Enemies(AKA Boss Monster/Summon Beast) into their will, with lots of spell that can disrupt/bind opponent.

Their Emergency (24 hour cooldown) Spell, [Subjugation Chain] is capable of cancelling opponent's skill and seal opponents' movement within an Area for 1 minute (which make a huge differences when fighting a powerful boss).

However, by choosing this Emergency spell, it also means they sacrifice another powerful Emergency Spell (hat most Summoners choose) with the ability to dish out lots of damage.

Having both may sounded optimum but don't forget: Having two spell with 24 hours cooldown time means having 1 less option to deal with situation while other Skills are in cooldown....even for a Support Build, it is still pretty bad not being able to do anything due to cooldown.

While disrupting opponents' skill and binding them sounded awesome but just like other Support class, people don't give this build enough credit. However, unlike other Support Class, it is easy to understand why.

First off, A Full Support Build (Summon-less) Summoner will never be as good in support as an Enchanter without summon.... in fact it is disastrous considering that

1. Summoner's Support spell has longer Casting time and Cooldown time than Enchanter. This problem can be reduce by having equipment that reduce the time but still require proper judgement by the player to determine which spell to use.

2. Enchanter can transfer/recover Mana....but Summoners' can't do that even if their support Spell doesn't take a lot of their MP.

3.Even an Enchanter can out-damage Summon-less Summoner (due to having longer Cast time and Cooldown time).

Which add to the reasons for their rarity.... This build is often used for griefing (Ability to stop opponent but can't deal enough damage to finish them off) and obviously harassing other players always result in ban-hammered.

Paradoxically, despite of Support Build not having enough skill that can increase Summons' attack power.... Players (who know that they are doing) often used Hybrid version of the Build, and can deal around the same amount of damages (in term of DPS)

Reason is simple:
It may not very obvious but statically speaking, with the support of Summoner, their summons(Especially ones that have high power but low hit rate) can hit High level monsters (with high evasion) more often than Summoners without some form of Support skill.

Having high damages doesn't always equal to high DPS if the probability of hitting your enemies is very low....

=

"....Are we players really that bloodthirsty?"

"Nah, we are just really competitive. The idea of having NPC being more powerful doesn't sit well with some people...."

The Knightly order in SEA can not be killed (Invincibility Mode) because most SEA players can't be bothered with game lore, so when they appear, the first thing the players does is attack them and somehow manage to do it despite of having Level Cap due to sheer numbers.

An event almost failed because of that, which is why when the level cap is raised to 80, the first thing the developer did is give them invincibility to ensure that doesn't happen again.

Doesn't help them from disappearing though. (Can't be killed, doesn't equal to can't be sealed)

It is a good reference but highly doubt the list is complete though...

Doesn't matter since the T-RPG book is coming out.

I got cheat (mentioned in earlier post) but because it is cheat, I'll just stick to Skills on the wiki.

Beside, my characters don't have access to the Cheat until later anyway....

=

Regarding the Main Leads: Facing a dilemma trying pick a good Main Class

The basic premises is:
The Lead Characters are supposed to be solo players who do quests hence their build is more geared toward solo than party.

From the wiki, there are three options: Monk, Cleric and Summoner. Monk is out of the question because they can't heal....

Summoner has more versatility than Cleric (and I can kind of make-up ability (manifested as summon) if needed) and I also had a subplot on Summons....
Considering that the Lead is more interested in questing... it kind of make sense to have a Class that obtain new power via quests.

On the other hand, Cleric seemed to be more practical build...In any MMORPG, if you want to go solo, you go with Cleric (can't never go wrong with healing ability... just expect less offensive power). Also I can stay more faithful to the series by referring to the Wiki for the skills. On the plus side: Faithful Blade's skill is actually pretty awesome :: (Even though the wording on the Wiki is a little bad....)

But at the moment, I had too many Clerics. Some skills will end up being repeated..... which can be bad.....

Changes and reason behind each Character's main class:

Lanster is a Cleric because I need a backrow Support class who commands the party/guild and also support the party. Since I am avoiding Druid and Kannagi, that leave me with Cleric and Enchanter. Since Enchanter is not a popular class and Cleric can actually have some firepower... yea.... If the Main lead is not a Cleric, I planned to give him the Faithful Blade skill.

Mistrali: Switching his main class to Cleric... Caring and gentle is stereotypical feminine trait... Trying to play that up and see how many people will forget that she is a guy.

Meredith Mercedes: Meant to be a shocker since Enchanters aren't really seen as dangerous in the game but if you read their skills.... you would be horrified by what they can actually do to players.

I think the name Mercedes worked better as gender neutral name under the context of "the player might actually be a fan of that car brand"... (To be honest, because that name is kind of rare in South-East Asia, the first thing that come to people's mind when they heard that name is that car brand.)

Sorry about my earlier post, I was looking through the wiki, but I didn't actually see the page for skills until you mentioned your post. I saw the link at the being talking about the different skills levels though. I have created another character and stuck to the skills mentioned on the wiki this time. I have link to the document with it so I dont take up to much space.

I used the foxtail class, but didn't find much of any information on which exact skills they lose and gain or how many. I made up the amount, but the skills gained are in the wiki.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3E...it?usp=sharing

Please let me know what you think, and any inputs about the design of the character. Also I noticed some classes have very few amount of skills, is there another wiki that anyone knows of with more information on the class skills?

Japanese Wiki.

They have skill of Monks too.

Edit: My suggestion is don't be too fixated with skills. Characters are still more important after all.

[Lazgrane]

The skills on there are only sample skills. There are more inside the game and, it doesn't hurt no one if you make up your own.

Just consider balancing issue though

Summoners are noted to have over a hundred different summons. These lists barely scratch the surface. Given how Mamare tends to work, I'd say this is intentional to get us being creative.

We just need to work on balancing the ideas.

A one minute total shutdown is ridiculously overpowered. It essentially means you auto-win any fight as long as it's of cooldown. I'd say make it a five second shutdown, tops.

A support build dealing as much DPS as a DPS build? You're going to have to explain that a bit more in-depth to me, because right now that sounds silly. Them having a higher to-hit chance doesn't make much sense. Any DPS build would top their to-hit chance, that's one of the basics of being DPS.

I don't think there is such a thing as invincible mobs in this game. Elder Tale seems to take the "if players pull it off, congrats to them" style of approach to gaming.

Yea.... probably change it to 10 second (Still powerful because it is still an Emergency Spell with 24 hours Cooldown time).

On the other hand.... it is 10 second only because it is max out.

I admit, it is too silly so I will correct that to "Can't match up to Summoners with pure DPS build but can support other members' ability to deal damage"

I don't think there is such a thing as invincible mobs in this game. Elder Tale seems to take the "if players pull it off, congrats to them" style of approach to gaming.

The idea of invincibility stem from the same reason why Quest Characters can't be killed: It means you can't complete game/certain quest.

But taking that comment into account, I think I will have to change that to: "have ability to revive when killed" (hence un-killable).

Probably make it that it was the Order that trained the Undying Armada to guard the SEA border

Point to note: Undying Fleet is just an excuse for Company(That licensed the game in the region) to charge SEA players for extra money when switching to oversea Server....

"Oh no, it is not really necessarily to buy that Cash item, it is still possible bypass them by leveling up your characters/making a Ship very powerful but it will take days/years to grind. Here, you can buy this "Change-Server Pass" for real money. The process would only take few minutes"

or

Slimes are ugly? Here, you can buy this skin from the Cashshop which make them look cute

What a rip-off? Don't forget: The Company need to make profit too.... They did that through Microtransaction. The Subscription Fee (paid by players) is used to pay for the Licensing Fee to the Developer.

It's the "Adult-situation-stuff" which most gamers would bitch about in the forum.

Game Balance is only maintained because it is not a paid-to-win system but paid-to-make-things-go-faster(Double-Exp/Double Drop rate..etc) or make-thing-look-nicer system. (Skin change)

To put it simply: Overkills that add new skills.

The first is derived from Scribe's ability. The latter is the derivation of Poly-morph Potion.

If Elder Tale is just a game, for the sake of game balance, those Overskill should not have work but did (not good omen).

Also with Overskills that overpowered, there are most certainly a heavy price to pay. (Just to add to the drama)

Spoiler for Spirit Theory:

The first one(Scribe-based) is not so bad since it only mess up with memory.

When new Skills are added, it alters Player's body/Essence... Since some information of stored in Essence... it is replaced/overwrite by new information(new skills).

There is a more advanced version of the Overskill: [Soul/Skill Rewrite] which overwrite old skills rather than adding new skill. The end result was not that bad(no memory loss from new skill) but there is a possibility that it is only due to luck that the side-effect is minimal.

=

The Polymorph potion is dangerous due to alteration of both Soul and Body. There is no escape from the side-effect. The good news is Addiction is mostly human side and can be controlled.

==

Since the players with those Overskill have no information about Spirit Theory... They did not realize the real price they are actually paying when they utilize the cheat.

That's why I post some of my idea here... If something doesn't make sense people will point out. =_=

That would actually go against the spirit of the series though. One of the cornerstones of this series is that things that used to be impossible (such as, to use your example, killing quest givers) is now entirely possible, and the consequences that come with that.

Different spin on the idea: He's a quest mob designed to be impossible to defeat because of its quest chain. Players take offense to the idea if "impossible to defeat" and keep trying to take him down.

Hmm, tricky but... not entirely impossible, as long as stuff like cooldowns and mana costs are decided by the skill itself rather than the player to prevent the "but why don't they make bajillion damage skills for one mana and no cooldown?"

Just... don't call it cheat. That's just begging for problems.
