They "work", they just don't stack with 2x FBH... which they shouldn't. They open up more opportunities for card/item combinations other than the stereotypical 2x FBH.

I tested the following ingame as of March 17th 2011 at 1:30AM 15 str 20 dex 10 vit 4.6725% more hp (Actually less because the 10 vit, so probably 3.7-4%) 100% spiral damage (This is what the administration posted, I personally haven't tested it but the damage I do is fine.) Demi Human damage +17% (This is in the description but I don't know if its properly implemented ingame

I disagree. The spear is fine the way it is. I've used LK for a while now and it's perfectly fine. If you want more str try str food/items or slap on a scarf instead of a SGW/RAW/Ruck. If you want more sp, again, use stat food or I highly suggest using hollowring cards. With two hollows my LK's sp goes from 3xx to 900-1k. You can use different cloak card combinations such as Hollow/hollow, Hollow/Skoll, Hollow,Raydric. The LK is gifted with enough hp to still tank while using a hollow in your cloak. Dispel is completely unnecessary and would make LK vs Champ even more imbalanced. If you want dispel sacrifice one of your weapon card slots for Valk R, your damage will still be good and you'll be dispelling a good bit. The after cast delay is also not a good idea as the best way to combat a LK (in my opinion) is to force different head gear card combinations. Using puppetring and assassin cross card to cloak you can force him to switch around headgears (maya p, fsoldier, kiels) in some way he has to sacrifice something... this gives you a way to build a strategic advantage in a 1v1 duel. Giving him a cast delay reduction from the weapon would kill some strategic play against the class. I don't have time to reply to the rest of your suggestions but this one stuck out to me and I have played LK a good bit. I might reply to the others later.

Letting one player join multiple teams through multiple clients creates huge conflicts of interest nines. If the guy knows hes going to get a prize either way he'll most likely help out his buddies on x team while being negligent on team y. I like the multiple rounds idea.

Physically making a list on note pad or writing it down is not necessary nines. You know who gets a prize because they are in the victors party... there's already the party list made for you once everyone has been recruited. LTS takes a long time because people afk (even though GMs pop off multiple broadcasts about AFKing). *Kaboom, backfire* But my post wasn't really about the time it takes rather the balance and fairness of the event. When two people with three fully equipped characters join a team it loses its fairness. The point of LTS is working with a team of your fellow players to beat an opposing team. When one person comprises 15-20% of the entire team it starts to lose its purpose to me. Lets use Drax as an example of another point: When a GM chooses D r a x ` (stalker) he also has obtained Fper (creator) and Abobo (champion). All of which are effectively geared. So by choosing only one player he has obtained 3 fully geared and effective classes. I like the idea of the IP system, but it would be really unfair to those people who legitimately share an IP. Like Apo mentioned in an internet cafe multiple players have the same IP address. I also like the point that it is true that multi-clienters take up slots for other players to participate in the event.

Another thing to consider is duel clienters. A lot of the time LTS is tipped in favor of players who have like 3-4 accounts inside the arena with fully geared characters. God help you if you're ever on a team vs cole and nines at once (thats at least 7-9 fully geared characters). People like this should obviously be separated on different teams and dice would be too random to make it fair in some cases. In my opinion if you want to make it more fair and speed up the process then don't allow duel clienting in LTS.... though that would be difficult to enforce lol.

Yes, but that doesn't make the entire system invalid. Its not a vote system per say... its a measure of usefulness/helpfulness of he post. Who cares if some kid +'ed his friend blindly... Its a shallow measure of usefulness, true. But its something. A way to show appreciation and a way to know that your posts are appreciated... or on the other hand a way to know that you've offended people or said something you shouldn't have. People often just post "+1 I agree" anyway, why not cut down on the spam and just allow them to actually +1 the post... if they feel they can elaborate then they can make an actual post instead of flooding a topic with spam.

What problem do you have with my suggestions? Please be more specific. It's true that it isn't the most necessary thing but RO is all about community. I think this is beneficial to the community. It doesn't require monitoring really, and I doubt people would waste their time here just randomly +/-'ing people for no reason. You yourself have gone as far to say we don't have trolls. Why would any one waste their time with something like that?

This wasn't meant for simply suggestions but the entire forum. Of course this would never be a way to process suggestions. I've always been against poles/votes for suggestions. Making this some sort of suggestion system is completely different than what I'm suggesting. Also, only allowing GMs this privilege defeats my purpose. I'm trying to promote the community and even player leadership besides that of the GM team. My suggestion is to open the +/- for the entire forum for all users. Giving people the opportunity to give feed back if they find a post helpful and to neg rep people who are offensive. This is much broader than suggestions. Guides, updates/announcements, and support are all subject to feed back as well. Example: I'm new and trying to make a Clown. I look through guides and find one by (SomeMember) and his guide is +10 thus viewers have found his post helpful. I'm benefited by knowing this guy has some support from the community and the poster is benefited by knowing his work/guide is appreciated. Again, this isn't a big deal and I think its a minor forum feature addition. I just don't want my suggestion to be misunderstood.

Too bad it takes batteries eh? Ontopic: First to attempt to spread better health and exercise practices on the server? I took on the role of at least one persons trainer.

Probably. Maybe you would stop trolling.... eh, nvm... not going to happen.

Congratulations to Wish, Miracle, Veracity, and Justice for your promotions! You're all great and definitely deserve it. ....And to Vintage, Possession, Sedna, Essence, and Inspired...... Welcome! I'm sure you'll all do great... Just remember messing up is part of learning so embrace your mistakes. If I were active I would play my little detective game to figure out who you all are... But sadly that will have to wait until I have time.

I was wondering if we could get the +/- rep system to work here. I believe that posters who post useful/helpful/meaningful posts should be rewarded and those who reply with the same old flames/complaints/insults should be "punished" not only by GM and moderators but from the community as a whole. I know a lot of people don't and wouldn't care but I think it would mean something to those who go out of their way to help people here and for others to show their appreciation. We are a community, and whats a community without individuals having reputations. We can't see each others warn levels so theres no way for us to know if the people we are communicating with are legitimate posters or just trolls out looking to get lulz from people. I know its not a big thing and its not necessary but I would like to here other peoples' responses to this.

I like it.

For the record: I would never eat any of this. I'm way too health conscious. @nines: I'm not a alcoholic until I graduate. Until then I'm just a college student.

By far my favorite thing to follow on youtube. We bout' to get drunk off pancakes! Make her sour cream. There are many many more.

Yea, I really like the battle system in this game. I've always been a fan of hack and slash so Lann is definitely my class. The games story isn't too bad either if you read from the npcs.... I just saw Ellis get his face smashed... sad day. I also like that I can log in.... find a party... do a dungeon run and log out within like 15-35 minutes.

Shes max level fighting a low level raid boss on easy mode. Hero mode is ridiculous.... One slip up and you're deadz.

Lol, well MH is really the only game I can liken this to. Gonna fight a giant red polar bear today. Gonna get owned. The game has its own built in recording system too, which is cool...

Hmmm. Idk. I got to lvl 21 pretty quickly. Max in the US is 44 right now... It seems to be more about questing than grinding. It's nothing like iRO or FlyFF grinding... dear god....

Yes! I can not express my satisfaction with this update and the simultaneous sadness that I'm too busy IRL to fully utilize the Heal/Sanc buffs. Great job guys. As for the potion pitcher thing... I think not allowing Bacsojins in annihilation will solve any potential problem. From a long time priest: Thank you. Oh, and happy V-day loves.
