the solution that was always there, no nerfs, no buffs,

The charizard effect.

if the summoner and his youkai outnumber his opponents more than 2:1, his youkai do a faith check to see if they will do anything other than stand around and do nothing.

Yeah, still open to give a face icon or chibi to people. My tablet is on the fritz lately, so I'm not exactly sure how fast I can get them to you. I do this all for fun, anyway. That and to become better at drawing.

Here, take a magic fairy as reference to how my art looks. Remember that it's always changing, though.

Due to a recent topic in general discussions which some players felt like there wasn't enough content outside of combat which could inspire roleplay. I felt like I should make a topic specifically for that where you can contribute your opinion of what would be added.

I'll start with a few from the top of my head that are by no means fleshed out.

1) Expanded Overworld
Now, by itself this isn't much, however; by stretching out the overworld there's more room for other things other than just dungeons. See: 2)

2) Player Controlled Villages/Cities
With the expansion of the overworld, this could actually come into play. Dungeons cannot spawn a tile away from the city/village. (Including Diagonals) Similar to a house but expanded a bit. Come's with a shop for the owner of said city to buy interiors, personal mage's guild and etc. Can have it's own set of rules/laws.
(Yes there could be problems with player owned cities in the empire or anywhere.)

3) 'Guilds'
Not necessarily needed in an RP or Gameplay aspect other than for organization. Knowing who's what rank or who's what in your organization.

4) Dice/Coins

Note: These ideas aren't fleshed out at all.

Roll XdY
Flip-Coin

Empty Battles still happen to spawn from time to time. IE, battles that generate with no monsters in them. Not too big of a problem (despite how much I hate bugs existing), but if you get an empty battle during a core fight, you get jipped of a spacial core and can't do the fight again to get it after spending all that time clearing dungeon floors.

Karazu, Makido's turn.
Quick Draw! Kiyoshi Yuisen draws their sword with lightning speed!
Kiyoshi Yuisen attacks Karazu, Makido with Onigiri and hits them!
Karazu, Makido takes 47 Slash damage.
Karazu, Makido attacks Kiyoshi Yuisen with Force Edge and hits them!
Kiyoshi Yuisen takes 43 Slash damage.
Kiyoshi Yuisen takes 8 Darkness damage.
Karazu, Makido attacks Kiyoshi Yuisen with Force Edge and hits them!
Kiyoshi Yuisen takes 50 Slash damage.
Kiyoshi Yuisen takes 8 Darkness damage.
Kiyoshi Yuisen takes 10 Darkness damage.
Kiyoshi Yuisen attacks Karazu, Makido with Onigiri and hits them!
Karazu, Makido takes 47 Slash damage.

So like, Makido Attacked Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi Quick Drawed and hit.
Makido Attacked Kiyoshi with a riposte
Then once with his basic attack
To wish Kiyoshi Riposted.

You really shouldn't be able to riposte on your turn, or be capable of riposting a quick draw in general.

A player in SL2 used their Asago House Ticket to create a house in the Asago Portal. They placed tiles inside the portal after stepping in, stepped out, stepped back in, and saw that the tiles disappeared. They cleared their cache and restarted BYOND to see if it was just that, but the tiles didn't return. Logs below.

OOC I o t u s: okay, like
OOC I o t u s: i step into the portal and i place tiles and what not.
OOC I o t u s: but when i leave and come back.
OOC I o t u s: everything is gone.
OOC I o t u s: i've wiped my cache and relogged and exited byond and everything .

Below is a GIF example courtesy of BYOND user l o t u s (how did they even manage how can tehy make gfis dhOW Do PEople MAke GIFS?????? Erhem.):

Due to a good amount of things I've heard about people finding the game to be getting stale, I thought it would be a decent idea to get a tally on everyone's opinion of how SL2 is currently appealing to them. Note that this is not a topic to stack up suggestions on 'improving SL2' nor a place to debate over opinions, but a general consensus of what people think.

That being said, this topic concerns the gameplay itself. Do not talk about the roleplay going on here. Pick whatever two options apply to you the most, and if you feel like explaining your opinion, feel free to post. (No debating with the others, though)

You can use Castling on yourself, or it seems so since you can apply it on the target square you're on, or any square. Is this intentional? Because if so and you accidentally use the skill in the wrong square, that's some wasted FP.

Protect shouldn't proc if the protector in question has no hp with which to take the damage. It just doesn't make sense.

With this logic, it doesn't matter what your stats actually are, you can just sit there, die, and be an unbreakable meatshield (for things requiring basic attacks.) until someone with an ability to reposition you comes along.
