Ew my topic isn't red! I dislike this immensely!
Reserving this post for updates.
No idea on multiple weapon sets. Believe me, I want them too.
Global stat cap will reduce pets stats down by percentage. Say a pet has 10k hp, 5 str, def and speed. I set the cap to... 12.5k stats. The pet, after entering battle, will have 5k hp, 2.5k str, def and speed.
I asked for resetting to 10 wins, can't be done. I will personally be hacking the loot apart for the first 10 when it happens. Don't expect many (if any) boosters in the first 10 wins when this gets pushed.
Oh, I have concerns over loot drops as well. I'm assuming (and hope) it's possible to NOT reset the wins on CS challengers, as they have no loot outside of win , so there's no need for them to be reset again. A handful of opponents will be getting new loot when this happens as well.
Perhaps I should add that the loot/reset is the LAST thing that will be happening on the huge list. Once all the others have been done, it'll be happening.
This has been dealt with in a very cool way. If the weapon is set to 1, the check boxes become a radial button, much like the scrolls. Only one can be selected, ever. And if it's zero (for weapons or scrolls), it's blanked out completely just as if you were frozen.
Refreshing breaks things everywhere. That's just how it is. I can't fix something like that :P
Scroll/weapon library haven't been forgotten about. What else was left in regards to the scroll library, actually? Just ordering the scrolls? It's been a long time.
Amazingly enough, all the things listed have already been programmed and tested by us. So this is solely upon our shoulders now. We'll work on it as frequently as possible. I expect the scroll revamp to be finished up within the month. Opponent custom coding could take anywhere from one month to... unknown amount of months, depending on how crazy we go with it. Reorganizing loot shouldn't take all that long in the end. Depends on how many special loots we want (which requires artists to draw up stuff, this takes time naturally).
is now assigned to finishing up the scroll library and doing the multiple default weapon sets! We're happy to be getting so much programming from her lately! (Well, I'll be happy once I can actually play with these new features, anyway; school is burying me in work right now. I have 10 more exams, large projects, and assignments due in the next week. I'm free after the 18th, though, and will be joining in getting a bunch of this stuff done!)
Also, know that a global stat cap is something we plan to use sparingly; it won't be the new standard for global bosses. When it comes to those, both of us liked how Kiyo worked, with prizes for the top battlers in each tier.
Yeah, I never liked those. The BC has enough elements to try to balance already without throwing highly variable extras in.
Okay, I think these are the "big" scroll changes from Secluded Shrine.
Molten Boulder Old: 6 magma, 4 AP, Multi New: 9 magma, 3 AP, OPB, steal chance
Bright Aura Old: 1 light, 1 fire + 3 dark defense, 2 AP New: 1 light, 1 fire + 2 dark defense, 2 AP, heal
Thunderous Roar Old: 8 light, 2 earth, 5 AP, Multi New: 5 light, 2 earth, 4 AP, OPB, heal
Gigan Blow Old: 5 physical, 10 earth, 6 AP New: 5 physical, 10 earth, 7 AP, 50 earth defense
Hydra of Tears Old: 5 water + 2 fire, 1-2 magma defense, 4 AP New: 1 water + 2 fire, 1-2 magma defense, 3 AP, heal
Vengeful Tide Old: 5 dark, 5 water, 6 AP, Multi New: 5 dark, 5 water + 4-6 dark, 4 earth defense, 6 AP, OPB
Still Pool Gained freeze chance
Small update. The genetech-creatable scrolls using the level 5 scrolls have been revamped! Stats/AP changed, and all but Spacial Abyss now have some simple custom coding :) (A single speed-based tier)
Whoops. Thought I already responded to this.
Yes, HST's will return when the opponents are reset again.
Global cap has been completed for ages and does work! Though we decided that it's something that will be used sparingly, primarily when it makes sense with the plot ("The boss has you trapped in a small room! You can't use your strongest attacks!" kind of thing). There are other options for us to make battling bosses more fair for all. Timed waves etc.
ETA for those are very likely after the summer plot/event/whatever happens.
