LotGD Updates

[Lancet Jades]

I have just set it so players get TWO extra daily specialty uses, instead of just one.

Enjoy :)

[Gravity]

I have just set it so players get TWO extra daily specialty uses, instead of just one.

err what does mean? and what special use?

sorry for being not an american.. :P

[Lancet Jades]

Your specialty (mystic powers, dark arts, thievery). You get one extra use per day. So, if you previously had 3 specialty points, you now have 4

:)

[Gravity]

Does that mean that you get new powers earlier?

[Lancet Jades]

Yeah, since you get new powers based on how many use points you have.

[Lancet Jades]

BIG UPDATE

I added the Greystone Chapel as a location on the Village Square. Here, you can do the following:

Marry another player (requires mutual consent; must be maleXfemale)
Donate to the church (gives temporary buffs)
Steal from the church (Can give good rewards, but also might bring about consequences...)
View the list of people who are married
Purgatory (You can pray for the souls of dead characters, and they might be returned to life)

Divorce Court (Get a divorce--mutual consent not required)
Make an announcement (For a fee, get an announcement posted)

Have any questions, post them, but I cannot guarentee I have the answers.

[Lancet Jades]

I added a "Bladder" meter. Every time you have a drink, this increases. If you let it get too full, you'll wet yourself :P

Go to the Outhouse to reduce it.

I added Merlin's Magic Shop, which allows playwers with 2+ Dragon kills to buy extreme magic ^_^

I added the Sheriff's Office, where you can sleep off drunkenness, as well as get a bounty removed from your head for a gem.

I added in the Mayor's House. This is a place within LotGD where you can inform me or Lathan of errors, glitches, or any other abnormalities you find. However, chances are it means a problem with the coding, in which case only I will be able to fix it =/

[Gravity]

w00t! the upgrades are great! did u make the upgrades or did u just add them?

[Lancet Jades]

I get em all from a mod site. I dont 'make' ANY upgrade for any of EF, since i dont know php code >_>

[Laggy]

very nice im about to go play, but when i leave tomorrow...i better not come back to alot of chances >_> lol

[Lancet Jades]

I have set it so you only get 1 PvP fight per day. Also, if you attack someone and lose, you lose 75% of your EXP to that person, instead of the previous 50%. Be wary of it.

This is in response to hearing about a few people who always get attacked and lose their experience.

[Zelphiel]

Then why'd you increase the exp loss so much... it doesn't make much sense. I think losing 75% of your exp in a pvp fight is bullshit, as was 50%. It should only be 10% or so... which is much more than you ever get in a forest fight, and with less to risk pvp fights would be a little more fun instead of something that's feared.

[Lancet Jades]

No, if the ATTACKER loses, they lose 75% of their EXP to the defender. If the defender loses, they only lose 10% to the attacker.

[Zelphiel]

oh... I thought you ment that whoever loses drops 75% exp.

[Dark Luther]

That's to discourage high level people from attacking senselessly anyone.

[Zelphiel]

yeah... well sort of. I just misread what he posted that first time. High level players can't attack low level players the way we have it set up now anyway. I believe the players you can fight have to be within two levels of you up or down.

[Chicken Little]

last i checked it was 2 up 1 down with a handicap on attacking and defending players.

[Zelphiel]

oh well... I was right on one of those. It's been a while since I've looked at the settings...

[Zelphiel]

Meh, I didn't like the limit for borrowing money. :(

[Zelphiel]

100 is the max per level for borrowing... there isn't a way to put in a custom ammount that I'm aware of.

[Rainbow Dash]

I've already passed the PK limit. Am I the first?

[Zelphiel]

lol, probably.

anyway... new mounts have been added.

here they are.

Category: Beasts

Griffin: Visible after 1 Dragon Kill
Basalisk: Visable after 1 Dragon Kill
Chimera: Visable after 2 Dragon Kills

Category: Monsters

Hydra: Visable after 3 Dragon Kills
Minotaur: Visable after 3 Dragon Kills
Leviathan: Visable after 4 Dragon Kills

------------

more to come soon

[Gravity]

Cool, can you add prices too? :D

[Zelphiel]

I could... but nothing on them is final as of now. So the price you see here might be different from what we decide on in the end.

[Gravity]

You mean like the time that Eternal Dragon was like 1 Mil gold + 200 gems, then turned into 90K gold and 50 gems? -.-;;;

[Chicken Little]

You mean like the time that Eternal Dragon was like 1 Mil gold + 200 gems, then turned into 90K gold and 50 gems? -.-;;;

it all depends on how much is added, what price theyre set at and then if othe rprices need fixing to make it even / noticably expensive.

[Zelphiel]

in other words... if everyone seems to easily get the new mounts when they're available the price will probably be sharply raised. mounts are something you're supposed to work for a while to get.

[Gravity]

Some better post the info about the new updates. :P

- Huzzah!

[Lancet Jades]

Some better post the info about the new updates. :P

- Huzzah!
Kinda hard to do that when I myself am not sure what they do :P

I think the jewelry shop and tattoos affect the difficulty of a random monster fight event in the forest though. (Random event as in, like when you find gold, or find stonehenge, and so on). They make the monster easier by reducing its HP, so it might be in your best interest to collect those items >.>

Other than that, if anyone else can figure out exactly a lot of the additions so, I'd be grateful. The thing doesnt come with a description of all the modules, so all I have to go on is the name =/

[William]

I know what a few of them do, I believe so...I could be wrong though.

Tynan's Gym - Either train defense, attack, or max hit points. If it's defense or attack that you train, you lose some max hit points. If you're training max hit points, then you can choose whether to lose some defense or attack.

Apple Bobbing - Increases your HP. Not max HP though. Kind of like the Goblin Hotel drinks, minus the buffs.

Dance Studio - Increases your charm.

Heidi's Place - Either trade in ONE player vs player battle for a random amount of turns (I've gotten +4 and +5 turns so far from it); or donate 80 gold and it'll randomly be given to another player in the game.

Not sure what the others do though. The trade stall isn't even open for me, so I'm guessing you have to have more dragon kills or something.

[night sk8r]

yea but i tryed gettin a tatto and i took like almost all of em away which is pretty weird but i got the tiger soooo well that might not hav been smart idk if some one would tell me wat they do and the jewelry id appreciate it

[Gravity]

Apple Bobbing - Increases your HP. Not max HP though. Kind of like the Goblin Hotel drinks, minus the buffs.
HP+ temporary, poison apple (reduces defense) and a special apple (unknown).

Dance Studio - Increases your charm.
And uses up four turns, if I remember right.

Vernon's Trade Stall - unknown

Haunter's Lodge - get a new costume for x price (depends on your level), there are five different costumes. Buying the costume gives you new a weapon and armor that's equal to your current weapon and armor stats, just with new names. And you get a fancy title too! For three days!

Oliver's Jewelry - what Lades said (probably)

Petra's Tattoo Parlor - what Lades said (probably)

One new random event so far - the La-something thieves:
1. Give them 11 gems and they will let you live.
2. Fight them, and get gold and another item if you win.
3. Throw five gems to distract them, then run.

[William]

poison apple (reduces defense)

Ah yeah. I just got that for the first time last night. :( It only lasts for 10 rounds though, I think.

And uses up four turns, if I remember right.

Yeah, it's either 3 or 4. I wasted my turns just to find out what it was. :( I already have enough charm too. :P

[Gravity]

I already have enough charm too. :P
I'll own you in charm if I use all my gems on charm potions. :P

[William]

I'll own you in charm if I use all my gems on charm potions.

lol Yeah, because you have well over 100 gems, right? :P I have about 34 gems right now. Trying to get the damn Basilisk, but we are kind of exchanging the top spot for charm often anyhow. ;)

[Rainbow Dash]

Good, I was just getting bored of it.

[Gravity]

If you didn't know, here's the creature that pops up rarely if you have a jewel:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/heather-juice/Gembeast2.png
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/heather-juice/Gembeast3.png
It seems that you get about 33% of your current exp as loot.

[William]

lol Close one eh Grav? :P

I have yet to encounter it. So...you're more likely to encounter it if you DON'T have any gems?

[Lancet Jades]

No, its just a regular forest event, like anything else. There's a set chance of encountering a forest event, and then there's an even smaller chance of finding that monster (probly less than 1%).

For every piece of jewelry you buy, it cuts its HP. Thus, more jewelry = better chance of survival.

Ah, I see now. And tattoos do the same thing? Also, can you have more than one tattoo at a time? Just curious.

[shattered_system]

I stopped at that, i dont know if im going back to it, i decided i was doing suckier than everyone else, ive slain one dragon while everyone else has slain like 12.

That's because others do not give up as easily as you do. No offense. If you're having problems slaying the dragon, just keep trying. It takes time to develop a good strategy in order to defeat the dragon as quickly as possible.

I think so.

Thanks Grav. :)

[Lancet Jades]

For fighting the dragon, Thievery skills are easily the best. If you're Lv10 or higher in it, you can cast Backstab, Hidden Attack, and Poison Blade to completly uber yourself up. You can defeat it in a couple attacks that way. Though easily the best ability to have for the rest of the game is Mystic Powers, as Regeneration will save you countless thousands of gold of healing over a couple games.

I'm also considering ditching the tattoos/jewelry, and their respective monsters, just because it seems kinda pointless to devote such resources to something you have such a low change of meeting.

Well, it wasnt just the dragon, one it was the you beat the dragon and POOF you wake up again.......you are a level 1, you must set out to destroy the next dragon, A. i just found it all repetitive, even if i did go through it one time the best time i played that was when i was at the dragon, but than i had to start over again, and i just havent felt like doing that, its just when i play an rpg based game i like it when there is a huge variety on what to do. I might go back soon, but i dont know how long i will play before it starts to bore me again.

Nah. The best way to defeat the dragon is to buff yourself up a great deal before fighting it. Visit the church and donate 2000 gold, donate blood, donate at Heidi's Place, pet Audrey's kittens, flirt with violet if you're married to her, mount/monster buff, extra felyne defense buff (if you're a felyne), goblin hotel hp buffs, candy store hp buffs, and so forth...and you can pretty much kill the thing in 2-3 hits.

Well, each time you kill the dragon, you get a few different things you can use. I agree that it can get repetitive over an extended period though...

Do it simple, Leviathan + Lover's Protection + Level 15 weapon = pwange :P

I agree that it can get repetitive over an extended period though... Not with me. :P

[William]

How much of a buff does Leviathan give?

[Gravity]

How much of a buff does Leviathan give?
Much. :P Well, I think it gives 50% extra of your attack and 10% of your defense.

[Rainbow Dash]

I just voodoo it 3 times and skeleton it once, it goes down in three turns that way.

[Zelphiel]

it's 60% for atk and 30% for def.

also... I added two new mounts.

Behemoth in the "Kings" category

and

Bahamut in the "Gods" category

Behemoth takes 6 DKs, 75 Gems, and 350,000 gold to get. It's mods are atk +75%/def + 45%

Bahamut takes 8 DKs, 100 Gems, and 500,000 gold to get. It's mods are atk +85%/def + 55%

[Gravity]

Woooot nice! So, how many turns do they give?

[William]

My question is...How in the blue hell do you get that much gold to buy those? o.O

[Lancet Jades]

My question is...How in the blue hell do you get that much gold to buy those? o.O
Embezzlement, money laundering, swiss bank accounts, protection money, you know, stuff like that.

>.>

PS: This isn't spam, because hidden in my post is a good way to get started on earning that much money.

[Gravity]

Lazy to post info about the updates, eh? :P

Please tell us info about the three new powers. I believe they were:
- Arcane Runes
- Beast Calling
- Hand to Hand Combat

and hell, change the prices to Minotaur and Leviathan, they just don't match the gem prices with Bahamut and Behemoth.

[Dark Luther]

Why, what's the matter between those four mounts?

[William]

Please tell us info about the three new powers. I believe they were:
- Arcane Runes
- Beast Calling
- Hand to Hand Combat


Hand Techniques

Hand/Assassin Techniques excel in disabling the opponent. Here is how it plays out:

* 1) Shadowbind: badguy attack/defense mods (.5), due to pinning their shadows to the ground.
* 2) Rock Seal: badguy attack/defense (0), due to sealing the opponent in stone.
* 3) Aphonia: badguy attack/defense mods (.7) and attack/defense mods (1.3), due to stealing badguy's strength.
* 5) Last Breath: attack/defense mods (1.5) and a lifetap (1.2), due to stealing badguy's energy.

Arcane Runes

# Odin's Illusion Rune - Creates a Minion, which is actually a duplicate of yourself, but not with the same effect. It is just an illusion that has an attack.
# Binding Rune - Randomly generated vines go out and wrap around the badguy, not allowing them to attack.
# Ottastafur Rune - Creates a massive buff for your person...
# End of Strife Rune - Lifetapping... need I say more?

Beast Calling

* Swarm of Flies - Summons Flies, number based on your skills, divided by three
* Phoenix - Regens HP, like Regeneration, but also decreases badguy attack
* Spirit Wolf - Random Atk and Def Buff generated each time it is cast...
* Dragon - The Mighty of Mighty. Doesnt up any stats. Doesnt create a creature to fight... the Dragon gives you invulnerable for 4 turns

------------

and hell, change the prices to Minotaur and Leviathan, they just don't match the gem prices with Bahamut and Behemoth.

Seems fine to me, since the gold cost for each balances out the low gem cost.

[Dark Luther]

So what's the news with the new updates Wiliam suggested.....?

[Gravity]

I mean, the Leviathan costs more than Behemoth in gem price? It's just not right :O

[William]

For just one level ahead, it's also way different in gold cost. :P

But, anyhow...I don't really mind if the Behemoth cost is changed...Just don't change the Bahamut cost (unless you want to lower the gold cost ;)), since I already have enough gems and am trying to gather up the gold for it now. :P

[Zelphiel]

I mean, the Leviathan costs more than Behemoth in gem price? It's just not right :O

yeah but Behemoth costs 250K gold more.

[Lancet Jades]

Haven't updated in a bit >.>

Added two new clan mods. One allows you to get your weapon or armor upgraded at your clan. Upgrades cost 450 gold * your level,and give a permanent (I think) .2 bonus to it. This bonus even carries over into PvP, so this should make the clan war more exciting >.>

I also added a clan option mod, that lets clan leaders give Officers permission to perform leader-level operations (like promoting members). It also let's you turn on an auto-accept feature, so all Applicants are immediately promoted to Member. It also gives a place for Officers and Leaders to talk in private.

Enjoy! >.>

Another update:

Time Warp (Forest special event)

The time warp will grant you a new day upon its use. It acts just like a regular new day in every way, however it can only be used once per server game day (if you encounter it again, and try to use it, it won't work).

Its one of the ONLY forest specials with NO negative consequences (it wont randomly kill you or anything), but it also has the lowest chance of occuring (there is only about a .9% chance of encountering it when you get a forest event, compared to about 4.7% of every other event).

Yet another update:

Random Mount Finder (Forest event)

Randomly in the forest, if you don't have a mount, you'll find one, and have a chance of catching it. You only have a 10% chance of success, but its still not bad. The mount is chosen randomly from all avaliable, even ones you can't otherwise acquire yet.

This event is also rare, having less of a chance than most other events of being encountered.

[Gravity]

Hmm, I'll check the clan thing.

Time Warp sounds exciting.

I've actually gotten the random mount event, which was a Griffon, but I didn't manage to catch it. -_-

[Snips]

and a special apple (unknown).
.

It's a Mystical Blue Apple with a 20 turn effect, but I didn't get to fight to see what it is since I was out of turns and was just stalling for time... I may have had a small attack and defense bonus, that's it... (Unless it's like the best booze that hurts enemies for a few turns)

I haven't seen most of those either... that chapel or whatever, for instance, all I see is the old Church where you can get a blessing as well as the sherrif's office, that doesn't appear either. Are they for members that only have so many DKs?


Although I shouldn't complain, because Random Mount finder blessed me with a God of a Bahamut....

[Gravity]

I think we all found out two days after it was released. :P

[Lancet Jades]

Added a revival potion avaliable in the lodge. 100 points gets you a free revival.

Added a mod that lets you keep 10% of the gold you have IN THE BANK after a DK. Any more and it would be unbalancing.

Added a mod that prevents players from attacking anyone more than 3 DKs below them, to prevent rampant abuse of DK stat boosts.

Added two more lodge mods:
-Chronos Gem (300 points). Grants you an automatic newday.
-Amulet of Rue (200 points). Grants a random atk and def bonus every day for 5 days.

Added a flawless fight turn bonus cap (limited to 5 extra turns per day).

[Dark Marmosett]

What...no new enemies? OH well...maybe next update.

[Lancet Jades]

What...no new enemies? OH well...maybe next update.
Err, I don't put new enemies in the update thread >.>

[Dark Marmosett]

Well I think that would make sense as a update.

[Lancet Jades]

Well I think that would make sense as a update.
This is pretty much just for when I install hacks, or make any significant changes to existing game parameters.

[Snips]

Darn, only 5 extra fights from flawlesses each day? Aww man!

[Lancet Jades]

Some more changes / updates:
-Bank interest is only given up to 25000 gold. Anything more and you can't gain interest.
-Forgetfulness and Transmutation postions now cost 5 gems.

Hidden chests are added to the forest.
-Raw chan ce of finding one: 40% (most specials have a raw chance of 100%, so it'll be tough)
-10% chance of losing the chest upon a DK. (Otherwise, you can return anytime)
-Minimum of 1 DK to find them.
-Store up to 10000 gold and 20 gems, to be retrieved at any time.
-Only 10 chests total, so once they're all found, there wont be any more (losing one will return it to circulation though).

[Snips]

-Forgetfulness and Transmutation postions now cost 5 gems.

Pardon my french, but $(*^%$(*^$&%$*^&$(^!!!!!!!!

(oh and you spellt potion wrong)

*sigh* I can make do with bribing if I need to change my specialty again, but what if I want more attack/defense instead of gold? *sigh*

... why do I feel the FF6 chars in your sig are laughing at me???

[Lancet Jades]

... why do I feel the FF6 chars in your sig are laughing at me???
Because they are. Speaking of FF6 characters, have you noticed that the Mercenaries you randomly encounter in the forest are FF6 characters? You can thank me for that edit >.>

I'm trying to introduce mods to make the game more balanced than it has been. Unless its properly maintained, it can get far too easy for some people. I'm also thinking of toning down all of the mounts (that way, they all lose power, so no one can complain I only weakened their particular mount). I WAS gonna cut the # of extra forest fights too, but since I added the Flawless bonud cap, that's not neccessary.

And about "postions"...I'm Lord Motha Fuckin Lancet Jades. I can spell however the hell I want to >.>

[Snips]

I noticed; I've gotten Sabin, Shadow, Celes, Terra (twice) and Edgar so far... I like it!

... wait! Don't weaken the mounts! PLEEEAAASE!? My Bahamut doesn't wanna be frail and weak!

[Lancet Jades]

Another mod: Change your mind on races/specialties.

This will make it easier on those of you who want to read about a race or specialty before choosing one >.>

[Snips]

Wow, my whining actually got something really good done! Thanks, Lancet! 'Twill come in handy once I want a new specialty.

[Lancet Jades]

Actually, its only because I ran into it on the mod site. If it didnt exist, you could've whined all you wanted, and it wouldnt have done any good >.>

Added an option to name your mount in the Lodge.

[Snips]

The hunter lodge, meaning I need poinnts to get in? Crap, I should remembered to do the referral thing... wonder if it's too late or not....

I like these updates!

[Lancet Jades]

-Added a setting that lets you choose to see your favor even when alive (configure in Preferences)

-Added chance of meeting a lich in the graveyard, who will grant you random things in exchange for a gem.

[Dark Luther]

Hey - here's a though....or complaint...

If I can only attack people 3 dk away - I'm kinda very limited to who I can attack.
Since there's almost no one at the DK that me and Bonix have, let alone be at the level zone to attack them.

Can't we just make a rule to protect people with low DK - say the farm people, and just limit us higher nobility to attack people whith say over five...?

.......Actually...now that I checked - only up to VLad - with 5 DK, can attack anyone. Yvl and Dragons can only attack themselves....,
and people like Bonix, William, and myself can't attack anyone.

This thoroughly sucks.....considering dueling fellow members is one of the basis' of this game.....

[Lancet Jades]

Well, as it is, the hack doesnt even work yet, but I do plan to refine it in the future if possible.

[Benzine]

I don't thin k you get enough forest turns. It makes it a real short game for me.

And how long are the days seprated?

[Rainbow Dash]

I don't thin k you get enough forest turns. It makes it a real short game for me.

And how long are the days seprated?
You get mroe as the game progresses and you get more creatures.

[Lancet Jades]

I don't thin k you get enough forest turns. It makes it a real short game for me.

And how long are the days seprated?
3 game days to a real day.

[Benzine]

Eight hours... I see.

*laughs causes GR's has six*

[Gravity]

The fun suddenly went away.

[Lancet Jades]

I limited the flawless bonuses for a reason. The way you people get to so many DKs so fast is because you buy an uber mount, then use it to earn easy, easy victories, so you not only earn enough money to feed the mount, but also get a lot more money and EXP FAST. That's also why I'm gonna weaken the mounts SOME (not much, and I'm not cutting the # of forest fights either).

[Snips]

Sigh, I was hoping to have my second DK by the start of second semester... wait, that's like 2 weeks away, there's plenty of time....

I'll never best that record for 5 days to a DK though... not anymore, at least

[Lancet Jades]

Yeah, that 5 day DK is because of rampant abuse of flawless bonuses and over-powered mounts.

If I want this game to be fun, and to be more active, I need to ensure its balanced much more, and to stop high-level characters (like Power of dragons) from tormenting farmboys and driving them away.

[Dark Luther]

I agree with the reasons....
I still think it should only count to protect farmboys....once you have a dk...your in the running for everyone else...

Frankly, I try not to kill farmboys myself when there's alternatives....
not to say I won't when there' isn't.....

[Snips]

*eyebrow raise*

Suuuuure....

[Lancet Jades]

Unfortunately, doing stuff like that is beyond my ability right now. Its either use the mod how it is, or don't use it at all =/

And just because someone has a DK doesnt make them stronger. Someone w/ 20+ DKs killing a page is just as unbalanced and immoral as the same person killing a farmboy. The 1 DK just means an extra point of attack or defense (or just 5 HP, if they choose poorly, as they most likely would).

I'm hoping the modder will release a function that sets a max DK limit on the protection, because that'd be nice. And then I'd raise the max limit as time goes on (as people get stronger, the limit will be higher).

And it does seem like it works, kind of o.o. I tested it a few minutes ago and it was actually working, so I dunno

[Snips]

Gah! Once the 3+DK thing is up, one more DK and I won't be able to attack farmboys!

[Power Of Dragons]

but for some reason you can still attack some of the farmboys in the inn but not in the fields
and if the new mod gives you 10%of the gold in you bank after you kill the dragon why did i get none?

[Snips]

I got 700 of 11000....

[Lancet Jades]

Hmm, I'll have to look into it then.

I'm gonna upgrade the LotGD in the next couple days, so that might fix it, though I doubt it.

[Snips]

If the steeds are weakened, the +8 turns is the only reason I don't sell my Bahamut for 333333 gold and 67 gems... I mean, really, if they're weakened, lower the feeding price too!

[Lancet Jades]

Err, i havent touched the bahamut yet >.>

And actually, i'm not actually weakening them, but balancing them out more. A couple so far actually gained a little power, but only like .15 or something, so it wouldnt make much difference >.>

[Chicken Little]

the bahamut hasnt been touched, usually i tweak the display messages of the buffs (as anyone can tell by the basilisk messages)

[Zelphiel]

I just added new weapons and armor for 13+ dks.

[Gravity]

Don't even touch the Bahamut o.o and what about the new ales? Post info? :O

And is it possible that people can make their own weapon and armor sets?

[Rainbow Dash]

They have that in the hunter's lounge.

[Snips]

I see the bahamut was changed...

[Zelphiel]

And is it possible that people can make their own weapon and armor sets?

it's possible but not likely. Personally, I don't want to start doing that.

[Lancet Jades]

I see the bahamut was changed...
I've been fooling around with all the additional effects of mounts besides just plain vanilla atk/def mods. There's a shitload that can be done with them, IF I (or lath, or even the flyfuck) figures them out >.>

As for custom weapons/armor, whole sets cant be done, but you can buy a custom weapon/armor name at the lodge. Its how my weapon and armor is always Meteorblade and Rue Plate. They carry over DKs, and if you buy a different weapon/armor, the name changes back to the custom one immediately.

[Power Of Dragons]

will they have the same damage all the time?

[Lancet Jades]

You mean the same atk/def mods? Maybe, maybe not. Though I'm more likely gonna add a lot more mounts than merely heavily modify the existing ones.

[Power Of Dragons]

ok and i ment the custom weapons/armor
and how come the mod to keep 10% of you gold in the bank after you kill the dragon is not working?

[Lancet Jades]

I don't know, but I'm gonna get around to upgrading lotgd to the latest version someday. Maybe it'll work then.

And no, the custom weapon/armor are name only. Their stats are entirely dependant on which lvl weapon and armor you've bought.

[Gravity]

Well, I meant to create new weapons and armor, like Lathan and Fly have.

And meh, what took you so long.... finally lowering the mount prices drastiaclly when we others have worked hard for it. -.-

[Zelphiel]

level 14+ weapons have been added.

haha, actually all i did was add a few more riddles and check the settings on the demon race to figure out why no one was seeing it yet. Credit lath with the weapons and armour, not me.

[Gravity]

Same mistake as last time, eh, Lades -.-

and Fly, I was kinda referring to the times in 1.0.2 <.< :P

[Snips]

I think I know how to carry gold over DKs....

Did anyone else here find a chest in the woods that they can store 10000 gold and 20 gems in? I don't use it, in case it's the same chest that's accessible to anyone who found it (therefore I could be robbed blind), but the chest stays there after a DK, so maybe you can quickly go retrieve it immediately... I haven't tested it myself.

Thats a seperate mod from the "keep gold after DKs" one.

There are 10 chests in total. So once all 10 have been found, no one else can access them. The gold/gems you store CAN carry over after a DK.

The catch you ask?
There's a chance of forgetting where the chest is after a DK. If so, you lose the chest (and the contents too), and it becomes avaliable again for anyone to find.

[Gravity]

Not most likely anyway.

I wub my chest ^^ I abuse it everyday o.o

[horrible]

i want to know that cheat :( i lost 50k + 11 gems in my first DK... *tear*

[Lancet Jades]

What cheat? There's no cheats. We're talking about CHESTS. Its a random find in the forest. Read the previous posts to find out more.

WHOA! There's only 10? In real life my luck sucks crap, but in the game, I find a Bahamut AND one of the only 10 chests?

I've had this chest since I was a Page and I've never forgotten it after a DK so far, even though I've only done 2 more since....

[Chaos Theory]

wtf where did you find a bahamut

I want one :(


Lades you owe me *shakes fist*

[Snips]

Random mount finder don't play favorites, it just happens.

It pissed a lot of people off, apparently...

[Gravity]

Of course it pissed off people when they had to work hard for 500k gold and 100 gems, while a few people just clicked two times and got Bahamut/Behemoth.

[Zelphiel]

there's still quite a bit of work that has to be done to the mounts... especially with the attack and defense modifiers.

and I agree that the price was lowered too much. I made mounts like Bahamut and Behemoth thinking they'd be top tier mounts... which is why I made the price so high.

______________________________ ______________________________ _________________________

*edit

I did a little mount editing and added a new mount for 10+ dks, Tiamat.

I raised the gold price slightly and made it increase a little more consistantly considering how powerful the latter mounts are. It isn't anywhere close to what it was though. I also balanced out their buffs a little more and increased the feeding price across the board. The low tier ones are still cheap to feed, and it still gets progressively higher. I just made it rise a little faster. It's still possible to keep your buffs all the time, it's just more expensive. I think it's a little more fair considering how much more powerful they eventually make you.

[Snips]

Um, is this Tiamat you speak of stronger or weaker than the Bahamut, since it's 10+DKs?

Since I'd REALLY love to try my hand at it instead if it's stronger and I like the idea of +67 gems....

[Power Of Dragons]

Tiamat=160000 gold, 135 gems(holy shit)
Bahamut=(was i think)500000 gold now 125000 gold, 100 gems
yea its better(i guess) lets see what person finds it in the forest first

[Rainbow Dash]

I had a feeling this would happen. Dont know why I didn't save up my gems at all in this case though =/

[Snips]

*lingering in torment between selling his Bahamut or holding on to it*

[Zelphiel]

Tiamat is stronger than Bahamut. One tenth stronger to be exact. Most of the mods go up in tenths.

Bahamut=(was i think)500000 gold now 125000 gold, 100 gems

it was 500k originally, which was probably to much, but Johnny lowered it to 80k which I thought made it way to easy to get. That's why I upped it to 125k.

[Gravity]

Now it's more balanced, but too late for some of us... =/

[Zelphiel]

yeah... that's the only downside to playing a game that's a work in progress.

[Lancet Jades]

I'm furthering altering the prices of mounts and generally setting up the money system to reflect those changes, so yeah.

Also, I've set the mine settings for the mounts, so now there's a chance they'll enter the mine with you, save you if there's a cave-in, or even die in there.

PS: The minotaur has the best chance of entering the mine and saving you, and the lowest death rate. Though, choosing a mount based on a single forest special is probly a stupid idea >.>

[Gravity]

Dude, a chance that your mount can die? NO NO NO!

[Lancet Jades]

Only in the gold mine special in the forest. If you prize it so much, then don't go into the mine should you find it.

Added a new mount category: Spiteful.

The mounts in there are evil spirits that cut the owner's Atk and Def. Why have them then? They automatically return a portion of the enemy's damage back to them.

Since they are dependant on you getting damaged to deal damage back, using them will cost you a lot of money in healing, however the reflected damage cannot miss, or be riposted, which is the plus side.

Revenger: Atk/Def -25%, damage reflection rate: 1 (for every 1 damage you take, the enemy takes 1 damage)
Dark Revenger: Atk/Def-50%, damage reflection rate: 1.5 (for every 1 damage you take, the enemy takes 1.5 damage)
Death Revenger: Atk/Def-75%, damage reflection rate: 2 (for every 1 damage you take, the enemy takes 2 damage)

These mounts can even help you easily Search Suicidally, but remember, if you die, you die, even if the damage reflection would also kill your foe. And as stated before, you'll spend a sizeable fortune healing yourself, since your main form of dealing damage will be taking damage.

[Gravity]

But still, dying is over the line. <.<

Nice mounts, they are ebil. >.<

[Zelphiel]

Nice additions Johnny. I've been thinking about making a new one that does something with the regen status field.

[Rainbow Dash]

Its good to see you're getting creative now, this will make the game much more fun... Any chance of creating something greater than God any time soon? Like Holy Farmboy, Holy Page, etc?

[Joni]

One thing, about the damn chests. Is there a way to snatch someones chests or are they his or hers forever?

[Snips]

SHITAKE MUSHROOMS, NO DEAD MOUNTS!

Bahamut seems to heal me now. I love it!

[Lancet Jades]

When someone gets a DK, there's a chance they'll forget where the chest is, and lose it, thus freeing it up for someone else.

Is the dead mount mod working yet? *teeters at edge of mine*

[Lancet Jades]

All I did was set it so there's a chance of your mount dying if you enter the gold mine in the forest. So if you dont want to risk it, don't enter.

There's only like a 5-30% chance of most mounts entering the mine to save you in case of a cave-in, and a further 5-30% chance of them dying.

[Zelphiel]

Any chance of creating something greater than God any time soon? Like Holy Farmboy, Holy Page, etc?

yeah, it's only a matter of one of us doing it. all we have to do is add new titles.

I'm a little busy at the moment, but if I have time I could add a few new ones tonight.

[Power Of Dragons]

i got a question if you find a chest how do you find it again?

[Lancet Jades]

i got a question if you find a chest how do you find it again?
You just have to get lucky and run across a chest in the forest again. You still lose whatever you had stored though.

Though, if someone else found it first, you'll never run across it until they lose it.

[Snips]

I think he means once you have it, how do you go to it.

'Seek Out Chest" (in yellow) becomes a forest option.

You have slain Zombie Gluttony!

Err, yeah, if you find a chest, there's a link to go to it in the forest.

Aw crap, that's right. Ah well why the heck would I want to go there now? Except for the bartender who scans your foes for you.

And how the heck did Gluttony get so "charming?" I'm number 2 and that... Zombie is above me!

[Joni]

Bartender, gems, charm.

Sell your Bahamut, get 60 gems, 2 gems = 4 charm, get 120 charm

[Power Of Dragons]

one becuase is is no everyday getting charm but does not fight i guess or is used up all his gems for charm

[Snips]

I spent a few of my gems on charm to try to off his no 1, but I primarily spent them on my +16 hp.... kept a few spares

[Lancet Jades]

I only use gems on extra HP, unless I need a HP boost for getting revenge in PvP.

[Snips]

Nevermind, I'm sexiest in the Land now... but really, how did Gluttony get so many charm points?

[Joni]

Get married. Talk to your partner dailyto get a charm point. (or sometimes you lose a point), get more from the cookie lady, get more the Stonehenge, more from old persons who hit you with a pretty stick, buy more charm from the bartender, random stuff at the bar might give you some, listening to Seth might give you some, saving the princes or prince from where ever it is gives you some. There are more ways to get more charm. Almost everything is just based on your luck. Either the guy bought the charm or just was lucky.

[Gravity]

I'll let you find out that one, Saphere. :)

[Joni]

About that Heidi's Place. Could you put an option there that you could use to turn forest fights into PvP's? The same thing that is there, but the other way around.

[Zelphiel]

no... because people would abuse it. the reason the pvp fights are set to 2 is so players don't rely on pvp exp for gaining levels.

[Joni]

You could only use it to get one more PvP per day. But if it's like you say, then guess there's no point in making it.

Ok... I read in the game that Lades has some problems in choosing good mods for the game (among other stuff he said). So, Lades, you could make a quick look at some mods that sound good or something that you've had in mind installing and let us help you in choosing them. Small list (or poll) and we tell which sound good enough to be installed.

Well, the installing part would still be in your hands, and customizing, but you'd have a little less things to worry about. :D

Wait wait, Lades is actually checking LotGD out?

It isnt JUST good mods I need, but ones that actually work well (a lot have glitches), as well as ones that are easily cusatomizable (I don't like using other people's preset characters and text).

[Joni]

I'd be happy to help, but with my limited PHP skillzorz I'd only be a burden...

Just work on small mods now. Nothing big or anything. The calle shells thing. It could be fun. Thing the only things you need to cutomize is the name of the trading place, how many shells you need and what you can get. (Well, I have no idea how you do anything there really, but sounds simple enough.)

One bigger thing could be like something to do with the favors you get when you're dead. I once collected 1000 favors for the fun of it. I had like 600 or so already because I kept dying at one point and I used all my torments before resurecting. Then I killed myself few times to get 1000. Heh. Idk any mods for that though.

Well, the gem store could be nice too. Sell, buy, trade gems for weapons, armour, forest fights. Think it needs more work.

Some suggestions. The shell thing is just something that I'm interested about, but the gem store thing is a good mod. At least so people say. I've oly played like 4 different LotGD's and one had it. Didn't have any gems then to see how the thing worked.

[Dark Marmosett]

Our LOTGD did once upon a merry ol' time have a gem store.

Our LOTGD did once upon a merry ol' time have a gem store.

which i ran huzzah!

But yes im on a diff lotgd server atm (one running 1.1.0 and the multiple locations) and its actually quite good (since its updated LAAAADES)

so if people want to check it out and whatnot the only prerequisite is that you join the clan im in or else im gonna so not hearthe end of it from the schmuck who runs it.

[Dark Marmosett]

Should be brought back...cause I have a hell of a hard time getting gems now.
