DARK DEMON

This guide covers the basics of the combat system: crits = creatures rits = rituals ____________________________________________________ First of all, you'll want to learn about crit abilites. While in-game, go to: the little dragon sign on the vertical left menu (above the inbox) > click on any crit picture from the list > click on [more info] next to the crit's picture. It'll show you what types of abilites crits can do (one crit can't do all) and what are the possible targets a crit can attack. Again, you'll need to experiment on what to use to find out which is the most suitable choice. Second, you'll want to learn how to heal your crits. You can do so by going on the crits list page again and clicking the orange bar underrneath their pictures. Third, we come to rits. Basically at MP3, the ideal rit would be dmg (short for damage) crits with healers. However, some people also put up non-dmg crits so that the other person can also attack with non-dmg, giving the attacker a win and the loser a loss without any bloodshed! That's why it is best to ask someone what rit they have set as their def rit (defence rit by clicking on the box when creating a rit). You can also ask someone to set a certain rit as their def rit so that you can gain wins/losses from attacking them. Next, we have tokens. These are... ~things~ which make your crit more powerful by giving many bonuses such as extra VE (vital energy or vitality, whatever you can call it) or increasing their stats. Then there is the influence slider (the % thing you can move before attacking someone). This shows how much of your own VE you are putting into your rit. For eg: You have 5k VE. If you put 50% influence on it, then 2500 VE will be distributed among the crits in the rit. If there is only one crit in the rit, then it'll get all the 2500 VE. If there are 5 crits, then they will get 500 each, and so forth. Lastly, you have stats. These are the main things that define how strong you are, along with VE and crits. You can view your stats by clicking on the angel-type-man on the left-menu. At every battle, these stats are used in the rit when you attack someone (just like VE on the influence slider, the more % you put, the more % stats go into your rit, eg: You have 200 attack. If you put 70%, then 140 attack will go. The 140 will then be further divided into how many crits you have in that rit. If you have one, then it'll have it's attack increased by 140. If you have 2, they'll have their attack increased by 70, and so forth) I'll give you the stat descriptions as well: Attack: how much dmg your crits do. Defence: how much dmg recieved is negated (1 is the minimum dmg you can recieve. Suppose if someone attacks you with 50 attack, and your defence is 100, then although you could have blocked 50 more, it'll still do 1 dmg, which is actually almost nothing :D) Regeneration: this one is a bit tricky, but it is actually the most useful. Suppose you have 10 regen (regeneration for short), and you put 100% influence on your slider. After the battle, your crits will regen 10% of their VE automatically! (again, this is distributed, for eg: if you have 5 crits they'll regen 2% each, cause 100% of 10% = 10%, and divide that by 5 cause you have 5 crits) Initiative: the crit with the most initiative strikes first Energetic Immunity: not important till you join a land Trade Sense: the more you have, the lesser the cost of armour/weapons from shops Briskiness: the higher you have, the more active heat you get when you move from scene to scene. Don't mix this up with heat tolerance, which is actually XP. (this is not important now, focus on this only after you advance to MP4) Power: some crits have this stat instead of the attack stat, primarily due to abilities. It is used for healing, stealing life, etc. Luck: you always have a chance of dealing double dmg. This raises the chances of that :) ______________________________________________________ FAQ: 1) How to get spells? [spoiler] Spells can be obtained through 2 ways. The first is to use a spell stone which gives a limited number of casts for that particular spell. The second is to purchase them from the Wish Shop for a wishpoint each. Wishpoints must be earned, "the hard way", but they are also awarded for certain achievements you have to find out. [/spoiler] 2) Where do you get clothes and weapons from? [spoiler] These can be obtained from armor shops throughout the realm, and are purchased using Value Points. I hear there is one located inside Wind's Sanctuary ;) [/spoiler] 3) I am using my ritual, but why isn't it working? [spoiler] If the creatures in that ritual have less than 301 VE (vital energy) altogether, a random ritual will be used instead. Heal your creatures before using them to attack! [/spoiler] 4) How do you collect resources? [spoiler] Resources can be collected using tools obtained from each of the land capitals. Wind's Sanctuary is the capital of Marind's Bell. [/spoiler] ...and more will be added soon! (If you feel there is something missing, there is an error, or if something can be improved, please feel free to PM me.)

OMG... SO many PM's asking for the guide!? I'll just post it up then, as Fyrd said http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/13187-combat-system-beginners-guide/

LOL I've been asked by soooo many people already o.O Sent it to you too, Wookie

Sure thing, Magistra! Sent

There are some people who just don't listen. You are supposed to just state your opinion and be done with it. You are NOT supposed to add more things to make sure nobody can speak against it (cause healthy criticism is necessary) or ridicule the person you are quoting (if any). There are always ways to make your point in a nice way. Those who can't do it just aren't nice.

[quote name='Ackshan Bemunah' timestamp='1352309706' post='125191'] You people are confusing. [/quote] Interesting observation Bet you didn't have to think much before saying that Or you would if you were stupid... ...which you said earlier you were... ...o.O...

From what I've seen, there are some people who are just too stubborn to listen and agree to one thing... they'll probably even criticize this post of yours, Rasiel. I'm also talking about suggestions. Some people criticize them in such a way that it doesn't even feel like to suggest anything anymore. It's as if they argue the crap out of you.

You know what? She's right... I totally agree with her. The only thing I'm doubtful about is that even if people say "Yeah, yeah, they'll be nice from now on" and all that, how long will it last?

[quote name='Curiose' timestamp='1352300718' post='125162'] I don't care if my time is over or not. I was answering to falron who stated if we could do better and if any of us applied for the position. [/quote] Read below [quote name='dst' timestamp='1352282259' post='125132'] Actually he can't do that.[b] fenrir did it cause he was full head of TKs[/b]. fang is just a dummy for the moment. [b]If the dummy proves a good one, he'll get full rights. If not he'll be kicked and someone else will be appointed. But NOT by him![/b] There is absolutely no logic in him nominating his successor. Imagine that ZenTao is nominated, she gets probation as well but she does wrong so she nominates a 3rd person. The 3rd person will get probation as well and so on. No. That can't be cause it will screw even more the screwed system called TK. [/quote] In case you still don't understand, [b]dst herself has said[/b] that a full head of TK's has the right to nominate the leader after him. Seig has chosen Fang, so there's no argument about it whether someone else can do the job better or not. Hence, no one can apply for the position until the trial is over.

Congratz to the winners!

The ipconfig/flushdns worked, thanks! Topic can be closed.

I dunno... no problem with my internet connection. Every other website is working perfectly. It just happened all of a sudden, no error or anything. Just the Firefox "Server not found" sign when I refreshed.

[quote name='samon' timestamp='1352285155' post='125141'] Probably, did you try clearing cache or using a different browser? [/quote] Yeah, and it happened ~when~ I cleared the cache...

Am I banned or what? o.O

Once again... *sighs* Though this time, I can't even open the homepage.

[quote name='dst' timestamp='1352283186' post='125135'] 2 (TWO) times BMMO was broken cause of TKs (no idea if Fang or his minions). BMMO! DO you have any idea what that means? No, I guess you don't get the gravity of it. Otherwise you'd probably shut up. [/quote] I most certainly do. And what are you trying to do about it? Put further pressure on Fang to make the situation worse? You just can't expect a "Completely perfect TK leader" to just fall out of nowhere.

[quote name='dst' timestamp='1352282259' post='125132'] Actually he can't do that. fenrir did it cause he was full head of TKs. fang is just a dummy for the moment.

No. That can't be cause it will screw even more the screwed system called TK. [/quote] Hopefully, it won't go that way. And if you think TK is a screwed system, how would you like to come up, be the leader and use your apparently better and more appropriate ideas to fix it? Don't say something which you can't support with your own actions. Fang is still the leader (even if he is on trial probation) if you have forgotten, so I believe he DOES deserve some respect. To be honest, The TK's are running perfectly smoothly.The community is just putting Fang under too much pressure and criticism, in my opinion. If Fang does anything horrendous and if there is a major problem, you can all throw whatever shoes at him if you like.

After reading the 35 posts before me and how the conversation has completely changed, I feel like to do nothing but laugh! @ Fang : You're doing a great job as far as delivering the rewards are concerned. Just try to be more formal and to the point; trust trust your boys a lil' more And [b]please don't go crazy[/b] when serious stuff is at hand. @ Curiose: Your time is over. Even if you DID do better, no one cares anymore cause the time's long gone. @ Eon: I don't blame you for killing Fang. Trust me, I should know how much a pain in the *** he can be (Fang, if you're cursing me now, read the above [b]CAREFULLY[/b]) @ Falronn: There's my good man! @ samon: Definitely agreed! @ Nimrodel: In some places I agree, but otherwise not exactly... @ everybody who's still reading this: If Fang's on trial probation, he'll still be on trial no matter what you do. So even if you dislike him, please stop pressuring him. It'll make everyone's life easier. If Council believes he can't do his job well, you'll get your way right? And I believe Fang is fine with that too, since he already nominated Zen to be the head of TK's after him. @ Menhir: I TOTALLY AGREE! Which is why I'm clicking the "Post" button now
