  [2.80 V3] All Enemies in All Dungeons (G6)
Posted by: the REAL Minos Prime - 12-08-2023, 11:24 PM - Forum: Bug Reports - Replies (2)

The randomly generated dungeons on G6 seem to be able to spawn any enemy to fill themselves up, rather than just their dungeon type's enemies. For example, in a bandit den, snakemen may spawn, or in a Crypt, goblins may spawn. This doesn't seem to happen in the quest BDPs (the Haunted Mansions, the Mirage Deserts, and the Spirit Forests); those seem to have proper mob spawns.

To reproduce, just go to one of the randomly generated BDPs on G6 (Not one of the objective-based BDPs).

  Meiaquar R&D's Robots & the Anchor Point
Posted by: Toffee - 12-08-2023, 06:24 AM - Forum: Character Applications - Replies (3)

Applicable BYOND Key - ChewingToffee
Character Name - Kip Di Lucchi
Request Type - Invention

Request Details - Not a new invention, but rather a proper cementing of details for an old, approved invention. Made to ensure concrete details and that any future applications follow the same format.
Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - During and after the Geladyne vs. Meiaquar war, there was a lot of confusion and questions about the robots that I didn't have all the answers for. So I'm aiming to remedy that by creating a proper list of details about the robots and how they function, and what makes them special in regards to their role in the nation they were made to serve.
Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - With Meiaquar R&D only now starting to begin work on new robot models, this is all old roleplay information. The robots and Anchor Point have been worked on for years, ICly, and are the basis of the factory's creation with the intent of creating a steady stream of made-to-order automatons - with production currently taking a turn for what can be done in the future with new ideas and modifications.

Inspiration - Years ago, when Kip had just become a Noble of Meiaquar and tensions were high, she proposed the idea of utilizing the nation's technological flair to its advantage by introducing a proper, fully-automated force that could protect the people of the city defensively and through force, if need be. 
Limitations - The document below explains the basic jist of how Anchor Points work, but there are notable limitations. As with any machine, interfering with its circuitry through electricity or other means can disconnect it from the Anchor Point and render it weakened or immobilized depending on the strength. Focus expenditure is a real issue if Anchor Points are put under enough strain, as these models lack a means of gaining focus on their own. Currently, the orders the robots can be given are very simple ones. Their sight is based on focus signatures and are incapable of making complex decisions without guidance from allies (guards, officers, soldiers, etc). The robots are bulky, but easily outsmarted because they lack even instinct or the ability to improvise. They are effectively bolsters to the defense of Meiaquar that won't be capable of much on their own.
Existing Technology - These robots use the basis of the technology that Engineers have access to, but with the added quality and research of Meiaquarese craftsmanship and ingenuity to make them capable of serving their purpose without needing to be watched constantly by an operator.
Development Time - These automatons have been in the works for several years ICly, though the logs of their initial creation weren't saved. As of the war, there have been no new, direct developments of this technology.

Below is a document with details on the robots themselves. It will serve as a hub for any future models to be kept if they are approved as well.

If you use Titan Gale on an opponent in an FFA and a member from another team takes down the Titan Gale'd opponent, they do not gain the SWA boost.

Team 1 Titan Gales Team 2
Team 3 kills Team 2.
Team 3 does not get Titan Gale benefits.

For some reason, for me anyway, with my macros here:

[Image: o60zCyt.png]

These will emote properly but won't show the face icon, instead defaulting to the first one, now this is purely a one-sided issue, they load properly for anyone else, but they do not on my side.

Instead just showing my default face icon.

As an aside, I have figured out that it flat out doesn't create the cache icons as well, which may be the cause.

  The State of Healing
Posted by: MothEnthusiast - 12-06-2023, 03:32 PM - Forum: Balance Fu - Replies (36)

I've heard it from multiple people by now, and have experienced it firsthand. It's a trope in MMOs for a reason, and I recognize this, but... Plainly put, a fight of healers vs non-healers will end with the healers winning 99.9% of the time. This includes 1v1s, assuming the non-healer can't do insane damage versus the healer's defenses, which is considerably rarer than heals.

Yet at the same time, there are plenty of classes that have no reasonable healing options at all. There's a massive imbalance between classes that can heal, and those that can't. I'm not saying every class needs to be Priest, but it would help if every class had SOMETHING going for them in the way of longevity. Skills like Shore Up are a good balance between not being just a Priest skill, yet not being too small a number to be useless. To highlight this disparity, I'll go over some healing-abundant classes, and some classes that have nothing going for them. I'll (mostly) be going for non-spirited numbers in these break-downs, but at max ranks. Just keep in mind, they can definitely get stronger.



Priest. This one's very self-explanatory, it's THE healing class. It's the one I'm most fine with being a healslut, but it can't be ignored how hard it can be to overcome a team with a good Priest.
   - Graft: 25 + 100% light attack (And I think 100% SWA as well?) 14 FP - Can be made an AoE, 4r cooldown
   - Second chance: Revive spell. 21% HP, 17 FP - Can be made an AoE, 5r cooldown
   - Needle (Small heals admittedly, don't know the numbers off the top of my head), 3r cooldown, 31 fp
   - Malmelo: Up to 30% HP, based on scaled FAI/2, halved for summonable allies. 36 fp, 7r cooldown
   - Mercalan Mist: 25% of light attack as regen per turn for allies, invocation. One of the worst ones in Priest, but still notable.
    - Staff battle items, not sure of the numbers but only curates can use them IIRC.
   - All of the above (save for maybe staves/mist/needle?) are increased by 50% by Detailed Care if they're within 1 range.

Dancer. Basically Priest lite, with more damage. I hate this class with a passion, but I'll try to keep myself contained.
   - Cantus of consideration: 125 + 25 per active bard buff on target, 6 range diamond (9 with volume up). 6r cooldown, 20fp
   - Rest Beat: 30 hp AND fp per tempo (40 with spirit, if it can be spirited?), 180 FP and HP at max unspirited, and removes statuses based on tempo. 8 round cooldown
   ###(Bias warning on this next one.)###
   - The most egregious in 1v1 fights by far, Idol Step: Inflicts charm level 25, battle rush 15, 25+150% light attack as damage or healing (reduced by 50% if they've been hit with it this attack) FIVE times. SIX if spirited. That's 400+ healing, AND damage on top, AND charm, AND battle rush (which becomes worn out). This skill has entirely too much going for it. It could be ONE hit max per enemy or ally, NO charm and NO battle rush and still be a decent skill, assuming the cooldown was cut some. The current cooldown is 7 rounds, but I've seen 1v1 fights where it's used twice. 30 FP cost.



Those two are the most heal-heavy (unless I'm forgetting one, I certainly could be), but there are a few honorable mentions like Lantern Bearer. Now, we move onto a few cases with no healing at all, or so little that it can't really be considered useful in any meaningful way.



   - Soldier promos, save for Tact, have nothing. 3HP regen a turn certainly doesn't count. It'd have to be upped to 8-12 to even be a factor in a fight, IMO. Admittedly, I think BK is one of the only classes I'd probably not want to see with an Arb-tier healing skill, just because of how tanky they are innately, but DH definitely suffers from a lack of HP recovery and a lot less tankiness to make-up for it.
   - Magic gunner has a 'heal', but it's so miniscule with the change to on-hits that it's hard to really consider it. 7.5 HP per hit, 10 if spirited, but with multi-shot guns only applying on-hits once now, you're shooting yourself in the foot by using this over the other shells to pump more damage out. That's, at absolute best, 30 hp a turn (wasting a spirit, double-critting or using a duelist class and getting 3 attacks off that turn).
   - Mage and all of its promotions. Spirit pain technically counts as a heal, but it has counterplay out the ass, so it's definitely low enough tier to not really count as any form of sustain. RM is strong on its own, but Evoker really needs something sustain-wise. Hexer could use something too, but something low-tier, weaker than Shore-Up. Somewhere between Shore-Up and Disengage from duelist would probably be good.
   - Firebird only has Duelist's Disengage, but Disengage itself isn't really enough to contend in basically any circumstance. It's more of a buff move with a bit of HP sprinkled on top, which is fine, but for the sake of what I'm talking about here, it really isn't enough. A move or two more like Disengage would bring Firebird up to snuff. Ghost isn't included because it at least has rebound and a lot of survivability bonuses (even if it uses HP for some of its skills), and I'm too lazy to go see if Kensei's update got anything.



Not a comprehensive list by any means, but it helps to illustrate my point. I'd like to see every class get some weak heals to make healer vs non-healer match-ups less one-sided. But not only this, I think healing skills in general need something more taxing than just slapping on a big cooldown and calling it a day. With cooldowns alone, a person can feasible go infinitely against an opponent.

A common trend I see in a lot of healing skills is that their FP costs are balanced similarly to damage skills. A lot of 15-20 ranges, with the occasional 30-40 range for particularly big heals. Exceptions apply, of course. Personally, I think healing skills should be twice as expensive compared to their damaging counterparts. Healing should be exhausting as a balancing point, so that spamming all of your healing abilities on rotation will leave you hurting badly for FP. Healers already generally have a load of FP by nature of building FAI to begin with. Let me see a Malmelo taking 60 fp, or a graft taking 30-40.

  [2.80] Rescue Myself

Whenever using Massed Rescue, the user of the ability is accounted for in the 4-person limitation. Making it a touch awkward to rescue people + their summons if you happen to be in the range.

  Adjust Cut Down
Posted by: Snake - 12-05-2023, 08:41 PM - Forum: Balance Fu - Replies (1)

I think the skill Cut Down can be adjusted to follow its theme a little better. This is before the fact it costs 5 SP to be used, which lets you only have two offensive skills for Ghost at all times. All which massively outperform this single one.

Currently, it deals a single instance of 140% damage, then applies a debuff, which makes it a little worthless to be used for itself. Reaper Scythe outdoes it and is an AoE solely because it breaks guard and can be used to combat tougher enemies. Why can't the second, "supposedly heavy-hitting" skill do the same? The answer is: It should!

Here's my quick proposition to fix this skill, which will make it weaker against evade people, but stronger against durable people:


Quote:Cut Down

Axe skill. Two quick swings from your axe on an enemy in 1 Range. The first swing deals 25% damage and inflicts Cut Down LV X (LV = 5 + Claret Call LV/2) for 3 rounds, and the second swing deals 75% damage, while consuming Claret Call to deal its LV as bonus Dark magic damage, which ignores protection.

Both strikes can critically hit, dealing additional damage. The Cut Down status reduces the target's PDR and MDR by LV%.

How it works in sequence:

- Target one enemy in 1 range.
- Slash physical damage, ignores armor. Inflict Cut Down based on Claret Call LV, for 3 rounds. (25% of 140% SWA)
- Slash physical damage, ignores armor. Consume Claret Call to deal bonus Darkness damage, ignores protection. (75% of 140% SWA)

Addendum:

- The reason why I'm asking for other Ghost skills to be used is because I'm kind of bored of only having enough points to use Ether Invitation and Scarlet Twister, the only good skills a Ghost can have at all times.

- RIP Red Rain or anything else from its kit. It is way too niche to be used, yet it has the same SP cost as 'usable skills' such as the ones mentioned. Kind of rough.

  [2.80] Can we fly much higher
Posted by: Rendar - 12-04-2023, 07:01 PM - Forum: Bug Reports - Replies (1)

If you are Granduppered out of battle and the battle ends whilst you are granduppered...

You hit the ground after the battle is finished and take damage. Which can end up with you having 0 hp on overworld. If you inn afterwards, you end up with Badly Beaten.
