~ Suggestions & Improvement ~

Can you Put the DLC Number to the Mod Name at the start of a new game?

I.e. 12) Finals and Ordeals

Or 13) Your Lucky Number?

This way we can see direct at starting of new game if it is the curent DLC or a older.

 

Is it intended that the Background Tutoring: Grifter and Black Sheep not excluding each other?

I ask because with both selected you get the Merrit of both but with just the downside of one.

 

Oh. Just a other Idea how about a Background Choise for year 2 that allows the char to work of his Black Sheep status trough the summer vacation?

 

Edit:

Wouldn't it great if Scenes from a Dialectic Class 01 is force started at 1. Athonos?

A Lesson like this sounds realy like the first day in this class.

In general I would love to have this "Adventure" Steps force started on different days with the first starting at the 1. Athonos and the last a vew days bevore the Mid Term Exam (because of the Study level I don't think it sould be later).

 

Edit2: What happend to my suggestion to the Starting Effect that hit every 1st year when they enter the Academagia that reduced the chance of Events and also the chance for Hostile actions for the first days? Was it denied by the team?

The spell Revision of Skills: maybe it should be more clear which skill is substituted by which. The first time i tried it, i substituted a higher skill with a lower one.

Also there is nothing in the Ui that suggests it's working (apart from the msg in the daily recap)

We've actually looked at putting the DLC Name first in the save- unfortunately, it's a bit difficult. I am not sure we'll end up doing it in Year 1.

 

The Backgrounds probably aren't intended- I'll send that along for 13, along with the others. I'm pretty sure it's not planned to be so easy to work off Black Sheep in a single summer...

 

For your earlier suggestion about lowered starting Difficulty, it was considered, but there are some issues with the implementation. Nothing that couldn't be overcome, I think it just has a lowered priority.

 

Thanks!

 

Cymrean;

 

Good suggestion! That Description does need to be cleaned up- we'll see if we can get it into 13.

[Schwarzbart]

What I asked is that the Nameing of the Mod is changed from "Finals and Ordeals" into "12) Finals and Ordeals" and no change in the game itself. Or is the use of numbers at the start of the name a problem?

I know automatic would be much more easy but this need for sure a code change and so all I ask for is the change of the name we get displayed.

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

 

Oh, I see! Yes, it's possible- there may be a slight problem due to the name length, but it's a good suggestion overall!

[Schwarzbart]

Then maybe just "12 Finals and Ordeals" when name length is a issue.

[Legate of Mineta]

Yeah, could work- we may give it a try in 13, we'll see.

[Schwarzbart]

It would be great if persons who drop the merrit of a college i.e. by a total of 10 or more will see theyr relationship with the other Student of theyr College drop.

And the oposit would be great also (but the probably more like 20 needed for get a boost).

 

Whats about my suggestion that the Dialectic Class Adventure will changed to be forcestarted on different days?

With now even more abilitys that can give a player temporary +X to study I think a change would be great that this temporary effects can go past 10 but with the limit that only one of this effects can be active at any time.

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

 

That is a really great suggestion, about Merit- we'd need to incorporate that in Year 2, but it's a really good one. We'll see!

 

As for Dialectic, we'll see about that one. It's a good idea, although we'll see what the Content Team wants to do there.

 

Thanks!

As the DLC 12 bug topic suggests i'm doing the Neta adventure as a boy and i'm wondering why i'm not affected by whatever it is going in with the other boys.

 

I'm guessing it's too much work to differentiate how the adventure works depending on gender, but there could be an option added to the start where you have to fight off the effects with a concentration or willpower check? (For a girl the adventure would start as is)

[Legate of Mineta]

Cymrean;

 

Not a bad thought, actually- I'll send this one to the Content Team!

[Schwarzbart]

Can you pleace make Familiar Platypus 01 and The Unfamiliar Familiar tell the same story how the Familiar and the player meet?

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

 

Well...that sounds reasonable!

 

Sure, I'll pass that one along.

[Schwarzbart]

In the Adventure "The Missing Rubbies" I find it kind of strange that only 1st year offer theyr help.

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

 

Hmmm, I'll ask about it- thanks!

[Schwarzbart]

How about she split the team in 2 or more groups. The other groups are lead by 4. or 5. year who will lead groups of 2.-5. year while the Regent here self takes care of the group of 1st year.

This way it just have to be mentioned in the text without any effect to the story or any rolls.

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

 

It's a good suggestion- I'll send that along to the Content Team.

[Jackrabbit]

I do hope nobody mentioned it before, but 73 pages are a bit much to scan through, so bear with me.

 

I would really like it if, when actions like befriend fail (or flirt, or flatter, social things),the NPC name it failed to work on will be maintained, with a link. For some reason, the relationships screen sometime get stuck on me (it won't scroll) I can't check to see if that NPC I am trying to befriend is already in a clique, if they hate me, etc', so so having a name link from the day's result would save a lot of grief.

[Legate of Mineta]

Jackrabbit;

 

That's a solid idea! There may be a problem with the implementation in Year 1, but it might be possible. Great idea!

[CremePudding]

In the Adventure "The Missing Rubbies" I find it kind of strange that only 1st year offer theyr help.

 

I think Briardi explained that she wants to retrieve them quietly and getting help from 1st years would makes it easier to keep secret.

Item descriptions inside a shop should have an item type in the description. While I can buy an item check where it fits on my character and sell it back while I trade with a shop, I can't do that with Catalogs (which seem more abundant). Sometimes it's hard to figure out what category an item actually is.

[Legate of Mineta]

Cymrean;

 

Good suggestions! Other Academagians have requested similar changes for the Purchase UI, and we'd like to do something to improve this in Year 1. I don't have an ETA, though.

If Merit Prize numbering is supposed to follow real life roman numerals (for all I know it may use some Elumian numbering thing that's just similar) then Merit Prize XIIII should be Merit Prize XIV.

 

Also if a merit prize increases something at random it would be nice to see what in the daily report. (like Merit Prize XIIII giving relationship with a random instructor)

[Schwarzbart]

If Merit Prize numbering is supposed to follow real life roman numerals (for all I know it may use some Elumian numbering thing that's just similar) then Merit Prize XIIII should be Merit Prize XIV.

Acording to some one other XIIII is fully legal if using Roman Numbers and so both XIV and XIIII is correct. But the later is much easyer to handle for the computer.

[Legate of Mineta]

Cymrean;

 

Almost all instances of roman numerals in the game use the IIII for convenience. IIII and IV sort differently, with IIII being in the correct numerical order.
