Somehow the Mage's Guild got a battle scar during one of the Black Beast raids in Dormeho. No one can reach it, so it can't be fixed. I don't doubt it'd be gone whenever the reboot comes around, though, or if it disappears after a while (though I can't confirm the latter).

In order to have bots be different in ways, I suggest adding the ability to add parts (Ability, Armor, and Movement) to each bot in order to slightly personalize each one, in much the same manner as weapons. These parts can have special effects, change stats, and be applied in a special tab (similar to the way the Youkai tab shows up when Summoner/Grand Summoner is equipped).

Make it so that you can have your theme playing over overworld maps when you switch maps. It's annoying to have to switch my music back on with every new area I enter.

The Overcharge effect from Interference Shell does not unsummon any Youkai.

Not sure where else to post this, but, just thought it should be brought up.

Ever since the new update, the game has been lagging -horridly-. Constantly.

Fix please.

Even if you don't participate in the Black Beast Dormeho raid you still get EXP and the Black Beast Slayer Stamp(s) (yes, you can get extras) if enough were defeated. The stamps go away upon relog and don't stack, but the mass EXP is giving EXP from the event to any and all characters who have or haven't participated in the event.


UPDATE: This only applies to characters who have participated in the event before, apparently, and it doesn't necessarily mean they had to have stayed there for the end of it.

So like, if you want to use Single Shot guns effectively as an MG, you have to spend 5 SP, or 10 SP for a shotgun. It's kind of ridiculous that these aren't all tied together as is. Could it be just tied to "Magic Gun" at like max rank so it's 4 more SP compared to 10.

Black Beasts can spawn on water and get stuck in they're in the wrong place during battle generation.


If a Black Beast engages you while repairing a spot on the map, you get stuck in battle and cannot use movement until the repair finishes.


Also there was a bug with the Black Beast message not getting posted in the Talk Tab. --> http://neus-projects.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=473

[float=left][/float]The nefarious 'black beasts' have been a rapidly increasing problem in the world of Sigrogana. Beginning as mere annoyances or ghost stories, attacking travellers and merchants from town to town, they have begun to get even more aggressive, going so far as to attack encampments, and now, towns themselves.

The nature of the beasts is completely unnatural, from their movements and targets, to the way they do not leave a corpse; instead, they simply melt into a black puddle, and vanish. There is something far sinister controlling these monsters, with some goal that no one yet understands.

How to handle this threat has been quietly discussed between parties in-the-know for some time, but soon, more will be needed than just plans.

Added - Black Beasts have gotten bold lately. So bold, in fact, that Dormeho is finding itself on the wrong end of their leash.

• Every so often, Black Beasts will attack Dormeho. A World message will appear in chat when this occurs. (Note that this is an 'OOCish' message for convenience.)
  
• Attacks will last for so long; during that time, Black Beasts will roam the town and cause damage to the town.
  
• Once the Black Beasts are repelled, all participants will receive XP based on how many were defeated (total).
  
• If enough Black Beasts are defeated, a special prize may also be given to all participants.
  
• Afterwards, players can clean up the damage the Black Beasts did to the town for even more XP.
  
• The threat isn't likely to stop here...
