How are summoners, anyway? They look interesting but I keep hearing that they have the potential to be utterly game-breaking.

I've been meaning to relearn Italian for years now. Not sure why I haven't tried. TNPW draw anything and post it here.

Alas, I did everything right and got a superior set. Which I later used to get this

To be fair, a lot of their presentation of the gods and their factions also tends to fit typical atheist views of believers (especially in regards to Saradomin, who's probably the biggest wasted opportunity in a game of wasted opportunities right now). The conflict as a whole really isn't well-written. :-P

Double exp for charity? :thumbup:

The old system also didn't tell you anything about your power, a flaw it shares with the current system is that you could completely break it by something as small as not training a stat as much... Unless a well-built pure really has the same kind of power as a player with, what, 40s across the board? I'd go as far as to say it was utterly useless at telling you how powerful players were until you were 138 (where you were probably, but not guaranteed to be, max combat), in addition to being less intuitive because of the way skills were weighed: especially now that magic in particular is so powerful. I honestly can't see reasons for it other than nostalgia and maxed players wanting it to be 'special' (at the cost of everything else). A new formula would be the best option, going back to the old one would probably be among the worst.

Could you be any more spoiled? Seriously! :wall:

You know, I'd think that with the amount of time it takes to get... What, 1k slayer points, they'd be alright with saying "okay, don't worry, you've earned this T70 helm."

Fixed. On topic: Nexaduro and his recommendations are a menace and he must be stopped before I spend another weekend reading something as good as Tower of God.

Sorry, Mod Ana wants you to lose that stuff and pay again when you die.Which would not be as (key word: as) bad if the leading cause of death was something other than server issues.

Well, looks like I'm not sleeping tonight.

The next post is. TNPW prove that they exist.

I don't usually agree with you, but...

http://forum.tip.it/blog/124/entry-3554-alg-plays-pokemon-vietnamese-crystal-5/ And now I'm done.

Well, here it is. The last chapter of this mess of a hack, and I guarantee that it will have a satisfying ending. And if it doesn't... Well, I actually made a video of the last bit. That's something, right? [spoiler=END OF POKEMON GSC] We left off here, after my lazy ass failed to get the badge on Thursday. He lifts rocks for exercise, of course. This island used to be filled with water and ice. And he clearly had nothing to do with that, right? Do I ever Look at that man's magnificent mustache. ...And then I kind of trivialize him with all of my anti-fire attacks. Oops. Ted even gets in on the action! 6/8 "And then I'll burn it all down again!" And then that guide guy finally shows up, making this an official gymnasium and not just a sweaty dude in a cave. Anyway, I head out into... This very bright and open TUNNEL. And take the long way to this city. Official name: Anzu. Close enough What a [bleep] though. Poison. And tricks. Don't forget the tricks. Normally I'd complain but I need the exp. Yes, even the guy. Well, this isn't- [/paradox] Unlike other birds in this series, she makes an effort to try to fly. ...But of course, her team is a lower level than the weakest of the FOUR EMPERORS Fun fact: she was supposed to hand out the pink badge. 7/8 And now we're back at the LEGO GYM ...But I'm the current champion. I beat the caped guy and everything. At least he's polite. And, as GREEN is a championship, his GYMNASUIM is champion. Story of my life. This sentence is all kinds of great, and perfectly encapsulates everything Vietnamese Crystal is. Well not yet, but I'm working on- Oh. Yes, it's too low. Wild ELFs don't break 10, and your CURATORS are weaker than the guys that I had to beat to get here! I'll bet you're just as low-leveled as they are. Yes, bring out your level 45- ...OKAY that's a hell of a level spike, I shouldn't have said anything I REGRET EVERYTHING After much struggle... 8/8 Finally someone acknowledges it! ...Well, that turned around quickly. And now, the final arc. He'd better. Now gimme my diploma Eh? EH? Shit. I shouldn't have taunted everyone. now they want me dead in an "accident". Context not necessary. Anyway, on I went. And this doesn't seem so bad! Hardly mountainous at all! There's even one of these, it can't be that dangerous. Well, here we go. Not that I know what's in here. Bit of this first. You know, to end on a positive note. Okay, you know how I said it wasn't dangerous? I lied. It has these. I have to grind on them, and they know Rest. But after much cheating grinding, The last ENVOLVOLUTIOM And the last catch: And the last battle: [spoiler=RED] [spoiler=Behind the Scenes] I'll be honest, I did not see that ending coming. I'm keeping it solely because it means that this save ended the same way it began, and I am a sucker for that sort of thing. Once again, thank you all for putting up with this. Especially Erika, who's more patient than she lets on and is probably one of the first people to try to make sense of this game. Here's the last of her work (Until I edit more of it in).

Would you prefer Pernix with Akrisae's mace?

- Get better at expressing myself. I'm not good with emotions and the like and it's caused me more than enough grief. - Make progress in my education. I finally have a goal, now I can get the hell out of this community college... Or at least take steps toward doing so - Improve in the fine arts... And in the long term, gain the confidence to show this improvement.

It's that time again http://forum.tip.it/blog/124/entry-3553-alg-plays-pokemon-vietnamese-kanto-4/

You know what? To make up for only getting one badge last time, I'm going to hit three gyms in this part. Three. In addition to enough double entendres to... I dunno, something borderline offensive. [spoiler=RACE TO THE FINISH] But first, a roadblock. And I kind of forgot to get the radio card the first time around. Backtracking! Luckily, I know where to get it. Sounds... Harmless? Sounds like me. She can't be all bad, then. Unless she uses humor to hide crippling insecuriDID I JUST SAY THAT? The conversation ended on an awkward note, with him randomly exclaiming the first thing to come to mind. So I met this woman who is probably like me... ...And discovered that she is, in fact, me. What a twist. I'll admit that I actually laughed until I cried when this line came up. HIPPIE MOPPET Did.. Did I just conscript myself? At least I pay well. So I agreed to help myself, and asked for directions... Though deep down, I always knew where it was. Confused, I made my way south. I found a moppet. I checked the smell to see if it was a HIPPIE MOPPET, and was pleased to find an odor I remembered from a '70s rock band concert. Clefairy's name in Japanese is Pippi (ピッピ). Get your minds out of the gutter! So he has a... Fake Pipi. Which he gave me. I'm going straight to hell for this. But the man has very clear priorities. I would have left, but there's a guy here that's giving out (rare) candy! ...Okay...? Okay, no. Just no. So I went to get the ticket again: This was... Not it. And now I could back track, and take the quiz I missed in Part 8! You thought I was joking about that, didn't you? In addition to picking up the bike. How the hell did I miss this? So I went back to Snorlax, and listened to the radio: They have some odd programs, in Kanto. And got incredibly lucky because I froze it before it destroyed my game with rest! And so, I entered the Western Front. It was... Quieter than I expected. Didn't last long, though. The nightmare train has currently stopped here. You know what this means, though, right? MORE BUDGES The bane of everyone who picked Charmander. Luckily, I have TED And just like before, they don't actually use the rock type. Badass. From first gym leader (and anime comic relief) to CHAMPION. The years have been kind to him. ...Except the move protect also crashes the game! Woo! So I tried again. Fun fact: The rock-type has the same number of weaknesses and resistances as the Grass-type... Making it one of the worst defensive types in the game. FINALLY, I'VE MET MY EQUAL Except I won, and they started using BUDGE again! Could be worse. Could be beige. Anyway, you know what I found just a little farther south? ANOTHER GYM ...Without a curator. Plan B: south again Plan C: die of nostalgia. Eventually, I found the man who built a gym out of LEGO. He's baack! Not a champion, a championship. The man had become a concept. Well, shot down just like that. And now I'm going to die of volcano. Tell my wife I loved her. "SOMEWHERE THAT ISN'T GOING TO BE KILLED" So I did. I found another gym. A tiny bit more... Well, it's a cave with a dude in it. What do you want me to say? But a gym is a gym, right? Next time. I've visited three gyms, just like I said I would. I didn't say I'd win three BUDGES [spoiler=NEXT TIME... ON POKEMON VIETNAMESE KANTO] With good reason. I'm so close to the end I can taste it. Part 5, the FINAL CHAPTER OF VIETNAMESE KANTO, will be available for your viewing pleasure on Saturday. [spoiler=BEHIND THE SCENES]

Maybe they will, maybe they won't (Though the obsession with dailies/weeklies seems to be a maxed player thing more than anything else; I get the feeling that non-maxed/non-maxing players would prefer sustained training simply because of the nature of their goals). We don't really know because they never ask. That's the main thing here.

That sort of thing could work as an addition in the same sense as the longbow sight: you could add it to any crossbow and get the effect. Maybe it should sacrifice (direct) damage for an increase to the special effects? So your onyx bolts aren't going to have ~T90 damage, but they will have better healing. Maybe add bane effects, too? I totally do not have a fetish for bane effects To fill out your form: Invention: Bolt Improvement Engine... Actual name pending, based on the kind of flavor we want. Ingredients: clockworks, wire, and a Dorgeshuun light orb. Once attached, requires divine energy of the same tier as your crossbow as fuel Purpose: As above Notes: Recipe earned after Seers easy for levels 1-20. Medium adds 30-50, hard adds 60-75, elite adds 80 and above. Can be detached at will, same as longbow sights, though doing so removes its charges. ...I have no idea how to balance this.

Good feeling's gone. Was sort of hopeful when they started saying "mid-high level" instead of "high level", but now we're right back on the pandering train. [bleep]ing Jagex :wall:

Alright, two in a row. I can't complain about luck anymore.

It can. Or at least, recolored slayer helms can be improved.

The annoying bit is that players who don't care about the lore are still going to have a hand in shaping it for everyone, and the scale of these decisions only increases with each update.
