Glaistig

No, really, I'd rather she not draw me. Lu is the only one I'd allow to draw my magnificence now. She is the only one capable of discerning my image, so bright and glowing that it burns the eyes of other artists. She's the only one who deserves the honor of drawing me. If anyone drew some picture of a goat and called it me, you can be sure it isn't.

Actually, I believe that it's only when you're upgrading to the higher levels of the creature that you can rename it. If you have an elemental egg, you can't rename it when upgrading to Elemental I. I don't really know the exact qualifications for the "higher levels," if there are any specific ones.

I can sort of see what you're saying, although only flitting momentarily before flying out of my head. DX However, I don't really see a need for any changes to the ritual system; it works well enough and it would be a lot of work and effort which could be spent on other things. Maybe when larger problems are fixed. I have no idea how programming works or what the engine is like, but I'm guessing that creating a safe haven for healing rituals would also be difficult. Probably you could do something like form a pact with several players to make that area your healing place, and spread the words to others who use healing rituals. Say a player attacks after being warned that it would convenience players: all the players who wish to discourage such activity can band up and give retribution. I'm thinking there should be a such a designated area for regen rituals to lose exp..

I guarantee you, you will be further impressed by the awfulness of the honor/balance system. It's pretty bad, the way it is now. Anyway, what do you think would be a better way than a fixed number?

Do I even need to reply to that? Not only would I refuse, you're incapable. Probably your mind just can't comprehend my unreasonable glory.

No, don't draw me /: I don't want to be drawn. My glory is too great for someone like you to capture. And don't be offended; only the greatest masters would be able to manage it. It has grown ten-fold by forgiving you for that unforgivable slight.

Encantado~ Soy el hermano de Lulu. Tengo muchos años, soy chino, y vivo el los estados unidos. Mis pasatiempos y intereses son el mismo. Me gusta much el anime, la manga y los videojuegos (jugue rpgs mas de los generos). Tambien me interesa leer y hablar. Estoy pasando mas del tiempo jugando magicduel ahora. Como Lulu, estoy apriendo español para sola una año hasta ahora. Se que tengo muchos errores, pero estoy contento que puedo practicar hablando con otros. Ten un buen tiempo en el juego. Para una vez, por favor, no me pregunta sobre magicduel, porque no puedo decir que voy a comprender. Se que son otros que hablar en espanol muy bien en el juego.

I can understand this feeling, as well. Most players don't know the exact requirements for the advancement unless they have finished the story before they reach max exp/won fights (I think that's how it was meant to be, but really, most get to max exp far before finishing story), or they ask someone. Not to mention there is no official faq, unless you mean the one ingame when you click the Live Help button (which isn't always there) and says "Currently under construction." You can look for yourself how helpful it is. Maybe another topic should be made about this. I'm also in favor of changing at least this part of game mechanics. It has been discussed before; would it be too bad to allow win counts to continue registering for creatures until the players actually reach 100 wins? I don't know about overall, however. You can reduce your exp to 0 in mp3. However, I don't know if I should say it myself instead of letting players discover it themselves. If you lose interest, you may want to think about returning only when the game is farther along. There are many problems that need fixing. Otherwise, you can become involved in suggesting specific fixes and changes and help the game reach a point in which it's principles and mechanics are near perfect more quickly. I believe when I look back, I will find this phase of game development most interesting.

You sound quite frustrated. I personally apologize for not understanding what a template is when it is not a hard concept, although I doubt many others will. I agree with the part about creating rituals without having to have a target in your mindpower. Honestly, I'd like for that to be done as soon as possible if there are no opposing arguments, as it greatly interferes with gameplay (considering the convenience it would be to not have to go through all the hassle of finding someone to attack just to create another rit). I don't know if it's on Manu's to-do list or not, and where, either. About the template part, that would make sense, except the ritual process represents the impressing of actions into your creatures' mind, not your own. Say you have a dog, and you teach it some tricks. If you had another dog with the same personality and ability, it would take just as long to teach it the same tricks. In the magicduel world, your creatures are like new creatures whenever they are defeated. They have the same abilities, but they cannot remember anything they learned that wasn't already characteristic and in their nature, including what actions to take in a designated fight. You may think it is a huge hassle, but I don't. Really, if you know what ritual you have been using, you are already able to make it more quickly, just as you described in your example of how templates related to the real world. It doesn't take more than fifteen seconds for me to set a ritual that recently got broken (if I have been making similar ones). The way it is now realistically reflects the magicduel world concepts. Feel free to counter any of my arguments; I'm sure there are plenty of points against them. Discussion is important.. just remember that frustration is useless.

I can. Or I could earlier today. It may not be possible if your connection is really fast and your mouse very difficult (or your fingers fumbling). Remember, this is the last button in ritual creation.

They picketed and then their leader turned into a marionette of the shade, basically.

I think you forgot that you promised fanart of me. )': Honestly, if it isn't in your heart, and you vastly prefer Wodin for some reason (as I would assume by the choice of topic for this last piece), please don't draw it. I'd rather not have art drawn with the compulsion of someone other than the artist.

But you see, we can't attack everyone without honor penalty /: We lose honor (gain as well, but not often with my balance) attacking anyone, although we're in an alliance. This way, if I try to train my creatures and get more skills by attacking normal players, I will reach the -500 mark without much difficulty. EDIT: what I wrote was assuming you mean alliance members to be wholly impervious to honor penalty, even when attacking normal players. Rereading it, it sounds like you could also mean that honor shouldn't matter to alliance members anyway, so honor penalty doesn't matter. If it's the latter case, I disagree and can write up why, but I won't until I'm sure that's your meaning (don't want to waste effort if not).

Hello~ Hf ingame, and wave if you see me.

Ren seemed to mention that it wasn't a bug apparently, because loyalty is supposed to be the thing that matters in alliances, not honor. However, honor still has its uses, and I still lose honor fighting normal players because of my balance. I'd be farming losses right now if I wasn't in an alliance. What is the need to freeze the balance? And for Frooo's last sentence, I doubt that is a bug. Alliance members should be able to attack any of the enemy-alliance's members, right?

My opinion: I'd be interested in seeing what would happen to a second shade worship group-alliance. I don't particularly think it's something I'd enjoy happening to me, though.

All lies~ Well, not really, I just didn't understand the whole first sentence.

Well, anyone who crosses the Glaistig will get a beating within its head. I didn't say anything about him the first time because I didn't want to unnecessarily put him down, but since the person asked.. If not for his insensibility, Necro-alliance would have one very dedicated member. Now, I don't even want to join, not if he's going to stay leader. Even if the leader changes, how could I support the shades knowing what kind of person they picked to be their staunch ally? I try to judge people based on their actions. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if his "light" side failed to revive because his will falters, or something like that.

/: Khalazdad..

Crud.. @_@ I will need to figure that out.

Oh, I just reread. Those rockets are the only thing. They're like beams of lights

Clear cache, yet? FF3 now works with me and MD, for some reason.

Hmm.. Memory-extraction. O_O

No D: I mean their preferences. You know, taste as in, "Her taste for clothes is so outdated."

@_@.. Two sides. Is he copying simply? Shades are cool. I'd like researching shades. But, well.. I'm in lr. /: I've also become slightly disgusted with shades for a certain choice they made; I have to assume that represents their horrid taste.
