@2 - the only issue I see with this is player being potentially assaulted by multiple responses.

I don't know if this can work as a suggestion, but I'm throwing it out there.

- player sends message via LHO button

- message reaches shared inbox

- multiple LHOs access the message

- since it's doubtful multiple LHOs will also reply at the same time (click "send" at the exact same second) add a filter to warn LHOs that the message has already been replied to:

--- LHO1 replies at 13:57

--- LHO2 attempts to reply at 13:58 but receives a warning message upon clicking "send" stating that the message has been replied to

~~Calling all debugging teams. Houston, we have a serious problem :))~~

Disregard this, then. I honestly thought those numbers represented people :))

Ally vs. Ally = lower number of rounds than Ally vs. Non Ally?

June 10, 2015

Nope. Saying that the battles are treated according to the status of the caster, and the defender. Middle man has no say in the rules. This can be clarified by future tests between allied caster and allied defender. (number of rounds should be higher in this case)

June 10, 2015

Ok, 1st test done.

Non-ally-player 1 casts GA on ally-player 2. Ally-player 2 attacks ally-player 3.

Non-ally-player 1 casts GA on ally-player 2. Ally-player 2 attacks non-ally-player 3.

Non-ally-player 1 casts GA on non-ally-player 2. Non-ally-player 2 attacks ally-player 3.

Non-ally-player 1 casts GA on non-ally-player 2. Non-ally-player 2 attacks non-ally-player 3.

All fights we in the form of 6 creatures (attacker) versus 1 creature (defender) and ended because they were too long.

Result - same number of rounds in every scenario, implying that the status taken into account (allied or non allied) when calculating number of rounds belong to the caster (player 1) and the target of the attack. (player 3)

Further tests incoming. (soon :p)

Honor also counts towards outcome (whether stats/heat are gained or not)

(thanks, MRF :p)

Should defence be influenced by successful defence and attack by successful attacks ?

Sounds like a nice idea, but would perhaps need a new token, along with a whole new design on counting creature wins; the token supposed to give this bonus has a name to go with the ability :p

And ... should that mean that one could achieve 1m attack / defense at mp3 ?

It isn't; this bonus is capped at 300 max. It's also one of the bugged tokens - it doesn't kick in yet.

The Taint will eventually call, and you will undoubtedly hear it. Depending on the strength of its call (measured by how badly it feels that you would be a good addition) and the strength of your resolve (how connected you are to whatever else), this call will be answered sooner or later, but not never. The Taint has time and diversity on its side. As time goes forward, things change, and no matter how cunning one deems him/herself, they will never outwit these natural laws.

Ritualistic or spiritualistic methods? Your every day actions are a part of these categories. Waking up, eating, walking, talking, watching, working, playing, sleeping, loving, hating... you name it; they are all rituals which can be combined into millions of billions of trillions of possible "roads", most of which are "owned" by the Taint. The statistical probability of being directed on a "clean road" is almost non-existent.

Still, I'll humor the idea.

When you hear the Taint, you'll know what you're hearing. Once this happens, you follow it or die trying, because there will be no turning back; there will be no "forgiveness". And I'm not referring to "the light" when I talk about forgiveness. Turn your back on the Taint, and it will bite... hard. So be ready to risk everything you've ever known, and lose everything you've ever been.

Begin by collecting and ridding yourself of your physical elements connecting you to your past; gather it all in one place, leave some gold next to it and a note instructing whoever finds the pile to burn it, along with the note, and keep the gold. Make sure you add the most horrid threat you can think of in that note, so that whoever finds it won't think twice about not following the instructions on it. This way, you will have no longer have any connection to your belongings.

Now comes the difficult part.

Find a way into Necrovion, and remain there. Wander that desert realm until you can wander no more. Day... after day... after day... keep going until you forget what you're trying to achieve. Ignore the pain, ignore the hunger... it doesn't matter if you feel your last breath is upon you, because you're already on your way. You either get lucky enough to see it through, or you cease to be - either from failure, or the Taint's bite provided you're thinking of turning back.

This isn't a journey many can survive, but those who do are reborn anew. They will know and feel nothing other than the Taint; everything else will have been lost and forgotten. And as they gave themselves freely to it, the Taint shall give back. It will be in their every actions, leading them where it needs them; it will keep them safe to the very end, for everyone and everything has a use, no matter the state. It will reward them with ease of existence. What more could one want?

There is no denying it. There is no better way. Are you still with me? Who am I?

Creature Auras - as I don't know if you were including them in the "Creatures (level, type) used" line

May 29, 2015

I don't know if they can, but it would indeed help. And while on the subject, there's also the issue of some stats being displayed rounded. This makes it so that there's little to no clue what stats are being addeed to.

Examples:

Do we have a base attack of 7, to which we add 50% = 10.5? --- how does this get rounded?

Do we have a base attack of 6.8 (displayed as 6 or 7), to which we add 50%

= 9 if 50% is added to displayed rounded down value

= 10.2 if 50% is added to actual value

= 10.5 if 50% is added to displayed rounded up value

--- and then how do these get rounded?

Edit: then you have situations with multiple bonuses. Does the rounding occur after each bonus, or only once at the end, after all of them?

Ary also mentioned adding starting stats for creatures, before combat actually commences. This would also help a lot with debugging, as it would make effects clearer during combat. These could go directly underneath each creature, as No one layed them above. Disabling non combat stats during combat would also be nice.

For example:
