It's been a little while since live has seen an updated but as you all know, we've been beta testing the Great Reckoning for the past 2 weeks and it's finally ready to hit live. This is Part 1; there are some more reworks for systems to come, although the next update will be something other than that. That said, this update is certainly a Great Reckoning and brings a large overhaul to a number of areas of the game, and was certainly a lot of work for me to put together. That said, the other aspects of the Great Reckoning should not be as time consuming; this one required a lot of attention on many aspects, including monsters and youkai, while everything that comes after this will probably only affect players and require less raw effort. Without further ado...

Great Reckoning - Stat System - The growth stat system has been abolished in favor of a point distribution system. If you want to read about why, please view this topic.
Note: Your existing characters will be fine, but will be required to distribute stat points in the character panel. So please don't worry about that.

  • Characters receive 3.5 stat points per level, a total of 210 at level 60. These points can be freely distributed into any of the 12 statistical points you please.
  • A stat increased beyond racial base + 40 begins suffering from diminished returns, making them less effective. This becomes more dramatic the higher the stat gets. (The actual formula for this is a little complex, but I will explain it here. All stats at and below the soft cap are 100% effective; this means your racial base + 40. Points beyond that are affected in this way; base modifier for points becomes 90%. So 3 points become worth 2.7 for in-game formulas. Every 3 points, the modifier lowers by 8%, to a minimum of 10%. So 2.7, then 82% of 3 would be 2.46, and then 74% of 3 would be 2.22. If my base is 5, that means my softcap is 45. If I have 54 in this stat, that means it's really worth; 45+2.7+2.46+2.22 = 51.95.) You won't have to worry about doing complex math because the game will do it for you in the character screen.
  • Most stats are now tied to a type of Element, listed on the character panel. Some (but not all) spells and other skills that had per-rank bonus damage changed to interact with this elemental ATK instead.
  • Traits which gave growth bonuses have been changed to give flat statistical bonuses instead.
  • Talents which gave statistical growths have had that description removed.
  • Lady Luck and Style Blending have been removed from the game.

New Character Information Panel

  • Click the + or - buttons to distribute points. You can Shift + Click them to distribute multiple points at once. You will see what effect your new stat distribute will have on your character immediately.

Great Reckoning - Weapons & Items
  • All weapons in the game now have unique statistical scaling that determines the damage they deal with skills and attacks. You can view these in an item description.
  • Weapon scaling damage is now determined as such for non-spells and basic attacks: X% of the Scaled Stat(s; added together if multiple) times 1.5, plus Power + upgrades = Scaled Weapon ATK.
    For example, if I have 100% STR scaling on my 5 Power +5 Sword, and I have 5 racial base STR and 45 additional STR (50 total), my STR is actually: 45 + 2.7 + 1.64 = 49.34.

    49.34 * 1.5 = 74.01, rounded down to 74 + 10 (power and upgrades) = 84. This is my Scaled Weapon ATK, meaning I do this much damage on basic attacks. Skills may use a higher or lower percentage of this value. All of this will be displayed in the character info panel and you can see how additional stats will affect it there.
  • Spells function similarly, but if the element of your Tome differs from the elemental ATK of your casted spell, the Power + Upgrades portion is halved in effectiveness.
  • Critical damage for weapons has been changed; it now displays the modifier on the item description screen.
  • Hands, Legs, and Accessories now contribute to your Battle Weight total. (Weight has been added to their item descriptions.)


New Examine Interface
  • Added a new examine interface to the game for a variety of reasons. Primarily, due to the way it worked previously, it was possible to insert malicious javascript/etc into descriptions.
  • You can customize your profile with up to 10 pages of your Appearance, 10 pages of Character History, and 10 pages of OOC Notes (for what might be public knowledge and isn't, what type of RP you like or don't like etc.).
  • You can set a Youtube video to be the music played upon examining your profile, which will play nicely with the in-game music, turning it on and off when being played.
  • A new preference to play or not play profile music automatically has been added.
  • More customization options and interactions will be added in future updates.

  • Converted all monsters and youkai and associates to use a stat build system.
  • Converted relevant monster and youkai skills to use Elemental ATK and Scaled Weapon ATK where appropriate; removed some outdated text from various ones as well.For Evoke Skills, where appropriate; (FP scaling costs down, damage formula is now caster's 100% + (Youkai Level/25, *100)% Elemental ATK. At level 60 this is 340% of Elemental ATK.
  • Growths removed from the Youkai affinity skills, as they no longer apply.
