Schwarzbart Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hmm just tested the Mathematic Genius and sadly haved to realise that the Ability given are in no way wort the 1 Background point one have to spend on them as they are just a slight improvement over train (what I only use once every 3-5 games). My Sugestion for this was something that reduce the training multiplicator of x2 to x1 for Properties of Arithmetic and Theory of Arithmetic like a fixed Selective Focus for this 2 SS. If this is the only way to do it then this abilitys have to be at last similar to the Library of the Mantle of Stars (i.e.Choice of Arithmetic +2 and 1 Random Geometriy+1).

Albert Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 The "Glory" stat, will it be shown somehere in Y2? and will there be some kind of explanation for it? I've been looking for an explanation and found some cryptic explanation that it's a hard to earn stat that's invissible and help make hard things easier in some way... So it's kind of a.. Confidence thing but it's also a social buff? or maybe a social status buff of some type? People will think higher of you? Will it be shown and will there be an explanation? I found it weird that it was something that was given but not shown or explained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Albert; I'm not sure if it will be displayed, or no. There are a few hidden stats, and some may remain unknown. Good thought, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I hope you find a nice litle place for displaying the chosen backgrounds in year 2 ^^ i.e complet at the buttom of some of the character statts with mouseover displaying the extended text. Sure they are not needed regular but from time to time its usefull to have a look what you have picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarzbart Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Can the Class Rooms all get some active Abillty that gives 2-3 random SS of its class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Not a bad thought at all- will pass it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 How about give 10 point of Merrit to the best Student(s) of each Exam during the Midterm. As for many competition there is some small Merrit reward given but for the most important one there is nothing (endterm is sadly to late to make a big impact). Even if the player manage to get 60 points this way its not this unbalancing because there much more Exam and no college can take them all. The reason for 10 points is that it give the chance to turnaround the merrit race at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Schwarzbart; It's an interesting idea- definitely useful in an Exam situation, and makes a lot of sense! I'll pass it along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Endterm Merrit rewards only make sense if there is a reward given to the College with the Highest Merrit at the end of the year (so from game point in year 2 start) but then I probably would give 20 per endterm exam (but only counting for final College Score).

Schwarzbart Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Is it intended that the Enchant Class is also called Artifice Class? If not I suggest a renaming of the Exit 06 - Artifice in Student Adventure Ana Flavia 01 as the Description says "Theory of Enchantment. In Artifice Class."

Legate of Mineta Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Schwarzbart; Not sure- there is a strong overlap between the two, but it may not be intended. We'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Just got a Idea for the interface. How about let a right click on a time slot have the function of Remove the action or alternative open a small menue for copy / past complet days (Think you already have something like this per keys but I never used it as I don't know the key setup for this and if I rember right there was no way to see what is stored) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 The copy/paste suggestion is really a good one, but...I think this particular problem won't be present in Year 2, as you will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 When I was training my Hawk with improved Familiar handling, (a fairly nice familiar training skill ) I noticed that my hawk that I had named Hawkes this playthrough was gaining parrental approval... So im wondering did Hawkes gain parrental approval with it's avian parrents or my student's parrents? Im assuming it's new social skills made it more charming and likable.. But whose parrents? I guess it's a good thing if my parrents like my familiar, would make the homecomming or whatever easier but if my hawk has parrents then that could make for a fun quest aswell Based on parrental approval.. Just wondering, or was it just something that every character could gain? Anyway I like the idea of familiar parrental approval Intentional or not I can immagine the Black sheep comming home... Noone liked the student but they adore the familiar!! *sigh* Admittedly I havn't tried the blacksheep backgroudn but it just came to my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I hope there 2 ways for how black sheep continue in year 2. First your in bad Relationship with your parents but thats nothing a lot of work can't fix or Second your Char is alone because his/her parents are no more.

Legate of Mineta Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 HAHAHA! Familiars can gain Parent Approval, but it's really supposed to be for you, not them. It would be pretty hilarious, though, if you could meet the Familiar's Parents. I'll send this over to the Team. For Black Sheep, no comment.

Schwarzbart Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 For year 2. How about giving new Chars the option to get a early start Background that gives them some days extra compared to the normal new Student. Because of the Summer break there is also the posibility to reduce the time aviable if the char have a long (or slow) way home/ back what could also be a background but now giving a point.

Legate of Mineta Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Schwarzbart; Hmmm...I *think* something like this is already accounted for in Summer Vacation. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Maybe your familiar hears his or her parrents are comming on a visit and then tries to prepare for the visit... Somehow.. Depends on what kind of Familair it is I guess... And the parrents reaction might get affected by the extent that you completed the familiar quest and maybe the familiars skills... Familiars parrent approval? I don't know. Maybe the student's academic success or social graces could affect the meeting aswell. Either the familiar prepares some food or accomodation for the parrents or maybe the student does that.. It's more than likely that the familiar never tells the student they are comming and tries to resolve it on it's own. Or maybe it's a surprise visit or a chance meeting. Familiar's father: Are you sure that's a real wizard? That kid that just stumbled into the poisonivy and passed out? Familiar: *Look's embarrased* Familiar's mother: Arn't you going to help that fool somehow? That poor thing will never survive the week never mind the year if he keeps that up! Familiar's father: You're embarrasing the family, maybe you should find a real wizard or give up this foolishness before anyone back home hears about this! Familiar: I've learned a lot about treating wounds and preparing healign balms! We need it on a daily basis.. Familair's mother: Look he's awake again, and he's got a wand, lets see what he's capable of, maybe it isn't as bad as it looks. The Studen't tries to negate the burns but accidentaly put himself on fire instead and starts running in a circle. Familiar's father: We have seen enough! We arn't talking until you get rid of that disgrace!! Another student commes along and put's out the flames and helps the student get to the infirmacy. Poor familiar...

Schwarzbart Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Will we see more how different the familiars see (smell, hear ect) the world? I.e. "follow the man with the blue hat but you familiar just look confused at you" could be a example for a failure for a dog familiar because a dog don't see colors. (Came up with this after I played trough the Wit exit of the Dialectic Adventure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Albert; Great ideas. Schwarzbart; Not as a mechanic, no, although such things may feature into the Stories. It's a good thought, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Birds got one more base color than humans, so to them something that looks gray to us might not look gray to them... When we look at something that has that colour it probably looks like something in a Black and white TV... When I look at my African Gray at home I can't help but wonder if the shifting nuances of gray that she's got is actualy shifting nuances of that bird colour that we arn't equiped to see.. we can see 3 base colours but birds can see 4... Which kind of makes their eyes more advanced. I also noticed that when I took a picture of here and put it on my monitor as a desk background picture that she would stare at it and look confused and shake her head as in dissaproval... Repetedly... Maybe she doesn't think she looks like that in real life. Maybe she has got one of those ultraviolet spectrum colours that we can't see.
