So, a LOT of you are anxious to play the game at this point. Unfortunately, it needs to be finished first! It is currently running quite well, however has more to be done. So, to get you excited, I thought I'd cover some topics.
Note: Everything posted is subject to change. This is how it is planned, but may change.
Parties:
You can invite players into a party, and a party has a maximum of 4 players (including yourself). In a party, you can switch with an ally that has low health, and your sword will not damage a party member. A party has no leader, therefore if you have a problem with someone, you should leave and make a new party.
Guilds:
You will not be able to create a guild. There may be a few different features later on, however there will be no guilds that are user-created. Perhaps some ingame guilds made later.
Monsters:
I am trying to develop a monster system that will spawn monsters only if a player is near it. Otherwise, it is wasting LOTS of memory. Once that system is complete, it will allow for the game to be made bigger, without monsters on a floor that nobody is on!
Drops:
Drops will work in this way.
There is a chance of getting drops, based on the drop. To get a drop, you must meet the following conditions:
-If fighting a normal monster, you must have depleted at least 40% of its health to get drops.
-If fighting a boss, you must kill at least 10% of its health. Therefore, up to 10 people can get drops if you each dealt 10%. That's unlikely, so around 8 per boss. Two parties can all get drops based off that.
Note: If you and another player(s) get drops off of a monster, the drops may not be the same. Your friend may get an Upgrade Stone, where you may get a piece of Sturdy Leather. It is based off of a percentage. Some drops are common for a monster, some are rare.
Equipment:
The game has 2 types of equipment. Sword and Shield. Shields are optional. You may use a 2H Sword, or a 1H Sword with no shield. Shields will make your walkspeed decrease, however a 1H sword will increase it. Some rare 2H swords may increase speed.
1H Sword:
-These weapons commonly increase speed. This speed increase is usually neglected by a shield.
-Low-Medium damage
-Upgrading increases speed, and a small amount of damage
-Terrible for soloing, okay if you have a shield equipped.
Shield:
-These give a health bonus when equipped.
-Upgrading increases health by a percentage of the normal increase.
-Slow down walkspeed (usually by 1) however most 1H swords add 1 walkspeed.
-You are more of a tank class, taking damage more than 2H users.
2HSword:
-Medium-High damage
-Attacks are approximately the same speed as 1H sword
-Upgrading increases damage by a good amount
-Good for players that switch often.
-Bad for soloing, as you have a decreased health.
Bosses:
-Bosses will take a party to defeat. They will deal relatively low damage, however they will have insane health. This health will require that you switch and eat food often.
Health:
-Health won't regenerate. Ever. The only way to heal is by cooking food!
-Food will have a cooldown of 30 seconds. This means you cannot solo a boss, as you won't have enough time to heal.
-If your health hits 0, you will lose levels. How many? I can't say. It all depends on how easy leveling turns out to be.
Crafting:
-Everything is crafted ingame. Food, shields, and swords. There are no shops to buy weapons at, and you may not trade equipment. Some weapons will be hard to make, and some will be easy. It all depends on the strength of the weapon, or the rarity of the items needed.
-Some weapons may drop from monsters. They could be a legitimately strong weapon, or may just be a joke weapon, such as a candy cane off of a snow man. Either way, they're both neat to have and show off.
Upgrading:
You will have the option to upgrade your equipment.
Upgrading will give the following stats:
1H Sword:
-Increases speed and a bit of strength
2H Sword:
-Increases a good amount of strength
Shield:
-Increases a decent amount of defense (health)
At +5, they will have fire. At +10 they will receive sparkles and fire. That may change, and probably will. I might switch those around. Don't know yet.
Anyhow, hopefully you're excited for this!
Beta Test News:
Once a beta test is available, it will be public to all over a period of time. There will be no private beta test, however you can expect levels to be reset after each test.
Alpha Test:
If you are on my friend's list, you can check out the place at any time. I won't friend you, by the way. This is just for my friends to test out some features with me.
Have fun! |

Reminds me of my childhood playing Rune-Scape... Well, my childhood was ruined after I got hacked. At least I moved on from that horrible game! |

Wow Iacboy, atleast the newer forumers can use better grammar. And you were a new forumer once too, and if new ones wern't alowed then there wouldnt be any forumers at all e.e
And also, thanks for all the info on the game Ruk ^_^ |

If you die at level 1 that means you should leave the game. |
|
|
There will be no dual wielding. For dual wielding, play the official game coming to PSP where you play as Kirito. In my game, you're a player, not Kirito.
Death at lv 1 does nothing. There will be a certain level required for you to lose levels, and pvp. |

Hmm, I've been hearing a lot about this anime. But honestly if it's not a insane physiological kind then I probably won't like it. There is some times I can actually like an anime. But that's a rare time.
