VRMMORPG RP with inspiration from SAO and Log Horizon - New Terra Online! (Name prone to change. ;P)

[Lennon79]

By the way, are we going to be that in depth with the mechanics during the actual RP? Seems like a lot of work to be honest.

[Card Captor]

Okay, I finally finished my Tier and Abilities.

Of course not, you don't need to write 'And I hit the monster, damaging it for 3012 with my 84 Sword, yaddayaddahyaddah.' That'd be overcomplicating things, and to be honest, I'd rather just have something that can be understood by everyone. Wait, do you think we are overcomplicating things here? D: Maybe, we should try to simplify things again..... Waddaya think, people?

For me, I'm not the smartest, I'm kinda lazy, is the tier thing nessecary( I'm pretty sure I spelled that wrong)
Please don't hurt me

Got some item ideas
Bandage cures bleed and heals 4% of your max health.
Balm Cures paralyse
Antidote cures poisoning
Aura stone Could be used to enchant elemental effects
Ingredients for potion to give to a alchemist

Seer stones (like ingame messaging but with a item quite rare)
The metals could come in varying amounts
Items that have magical properties could be givin to a mage or sorcerer for research to fiqure out what they do
(is pvp allowed)
Their is also smokebombs which decrease accreacy
Makeshift flashbangs that do the same

Other ideas ill post later

I kinda like the tier thing, it helps separate levels and abilities~ Plus I'm working on my class now soooo~ and Charak, nice ideas~

Edit: I say we keep it as it. Maybe leave this CS as the advanced, and make another version for a simpler CS without or with less of the tier's?

[Lennon79]

I think the tier system works, but the stats may be a tad much; even if they're mainly fluff they can be a bit overbearing. Having two CSs sounds like a good idea, maybe remove the stat system and simplify the tiers for the basic CS.
It just seems like a lot of math that's going to be ignored once we start writing.

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

I'm inclined to agree with Lennon. While having the numerical stats is actually really useful as a way of tracking a character's relative abilities, I think we're all mature and cognizant enough not to OP our characters.

[Hebigami Shiho]

Umm, yeah, you're right..... So, let's just stay with the classes and let the classes define the strengths and weaknesses of our characters? What do you think of that? As in, a Guardian has great resistance and an Archer has great accuracy, and things like that.

That would mean classes like my specialist are screwed over >.> because they are not good at one certain thing, it all depends on weapon type and a player's taste. Sooo.

edit: unless you play to rid the stats for the simple cs and keep for advanced?

[Hebigami Shiho]

Yep, for everyone here who has already done the math and everything can keep their CS's like that. For people who'd rather just have abilities and effects in their class, can do a simpler class with less tie explenations.

[YuukiSuzuki]

Well that works~

Now we just need to wait and see your revisions of the class mastery level Shiho-sama~

[LupusIntus]

Well as a westerner in Japan, it is not all that shocking to imagine a J-VRRPG having a lot of foreigners in it, or even that they'd all somehow manage to end up playing together (we tend to stick together).

I agree with all the stuff above and back a few pages in leaving the stats as optional 'fluff', for what it's worth. :3

Will finish my CS today!

[OverconfidentMagi]

Can there be general skills and abilities after a class splits into specializations that apply to both specializations?

I'm making the Temporal Mage class I'm currently working to flesh out split into the glass nuke offensive Spatial Mage or the hyper-supportive Causality Mage.

[Hebigami Shiho]

Yep, they can exist, so don't worry!

Man, I am so delayed on that OOC -.-' I swear I'm working on it guys, just wait a bit!

[Thundercat]

Anybody looking to combine their history with my char? It wouldn't hurt to have spent the last six months in game with a friend.

If that's allowed, of course :3

[Hebigami Shiho]

Yep, totally okay! If anyone's up for it, of course. :P

[LupusIntus]

I'd be down, Thundercat. Victoria is playing a defensive tank class so it would make sense that she'd have paired up with someone to survive the initial few months.

[TattooedTears]

Now I'm confused. Do I do stats or no? I agree with them just being fluff, but I'm not sure what the final answer was on it.

[Hebigami Shiho]

You can have 'em if you want, or don't have them if you don't want. Is up to everyone which one they prefer.
