But what if I told you, things could change?

[Ludwig Verrlicht]

Hello gents of the forum.



So since I'm now finally going to be able to be present on the site now since my work life is calming down I've started tackling a few projects in question. One of which is this, where I make a thread and ask all the peeps of the site a few things.



1. What do you think could be fixed on the site?

2. How would you fix the above if you had your way?

3. Is there anything you'd like to see on the site? Like a mechanic or concept.

4. What changes if any would you like?



I could probably go on but I don't want to drag this on forever. However I want all of your opinions and ideas. My hope is to take this thread once there's a good bit of stuff and talk to the mods about it and see what we can't fix, change, etc. Make the place more appealing and interesting to everyone on here and future players. Try to be specific as possible with your answers btw!







Here's an example I do want to talk about as well.



I think NPC's that players can make should be editted some. For one I'm not truly sold on the idea an NPC shouldn't be able to take an RPC spot as far as Ranks are concerned. Under a more active site I could see where this could upset people and clog up the available spots for their RPC. However we've already noted that there's really not a lacking of positions across the board. At least for the time being we could easily allow for NPC's to be in various RPC positions and be just fine.



Another thing, do NPC's get TT if you start at class 8 with them? I could see it go in either direction but it's not listed so if nothing else a decision needs to be made and a clear answer given.



Also with everything else being paid for via Ryo, either by the character itself or the RPC who it works with/for do SP follow the same rule? And if so what is the value of a single SP point? There's nothing in the rules that mention it or if they just earn it like RPC's do.



And then what about using them in threads? Socials and trainings are fine. But if you decide to battle with them at the low end it for ONE thread it's 2.5 ryo. That's workable if you throw out job threads. However that's low end. If you have an average NPC Class 4 it's now 7.5 minimum. This is of course assuming they are rank one where there's no additional ryo cost. And btw the costs are doubled if you throw them in a Canon, Adventure, or Quest. . . . I don't know about you but that's a LOT. They should be noticeable but especially the high end it gets ridiculous since even the characters themselves would have a hard time generating the money to interact with others.







So yea here's my thoughts. Feel free to share yours on this or anything else with the site here. I look forward to seeing what all ya'll have to say.

How about we put all the shops in a single shopping district?

[Jeff Franklin]

So, the only thing I would suggest is possibly not having the amount of Ryo a character can hold rely on Rank. Maybe having a universal amount would be better as a mechanic is already in place to prevent people from buying and using itmes higher than their own class. Thats not to say certain items couldn't have a Rank requirement, example being the Lucifers Ring, something like that makes sense for the Character needing to be Rank 4 to buy and use. Well that was just my suggestion!

So while this isn't a rule that has been officially written down the implication of the way item purchasing rules work and one of the benefits of Gadgeteer specifically calls out on being able to use items at a higher class.
Rank 1: Can use items one Class greater than their own and items cost 10% less. +10% IP to boosted item.

Rank 2: Can use items two Classes greater than their own and items cost 20% less. +20% IP to boosted item.

Rank 3: Can use items two Classes greater than their own and items cost 25% less. +30% IP to boosted item.

Rank 4: Can use items two Classes greater than their own and items cost 30% less. +40% IP to boosted item.
Can the mods implement the rule that a you need to be equal or 1 class below to use items just like techniques.

[Kitai Yoru]

Shouldn't you change the Rank 4 version to just being able to use any item? It's rank 4, you're going to be class 1 at the very least anyway.

[Hidromielleón Ulfhirthir]

I would second Kitai's motion to place all shop threads within a single folder for accessibility's sake.

As far as concepts I would like to see? Though I did submit an idea for a playable Plus race earlier [Link]. I've since lost the passion for it, personally.

This is actually noted in Urahara's thread, under Item Explanations:


"Class: What range of Classes does this category cover? A sword, for example, might be Class 8-1 because it can be made out of different materials and techniques to make it sturdier, but say a basic smoke grenade whose only ability is to create a cloud of smoke might only go Class 8-6, and Class ups might only give it a wider range. Additionally, a character must possess an equal or greater Class to the item they’re buying, so a Class 8 character can’t buy a Class 1 weapon, no matter how much money they have."

Edit: and before being called out on "it's for buying an item", you still have to pay to create an item so technically that's still a form of buying. >:T

Which is fair I 100% agree with you on that point that to buy an item a character has to be the right class but as it stands there is nothing stopping a character from buying an artificial Zan at class one and then giving it to a class 8 character. That is the loophole I want to close, given based on the wording of Gadgeteer that is specifically a benefit of being that type.  Case in point Aevus giving Luke an artificial Zan.
