Valkyrie Sky in non-moonspeak world. Finally.

[Ghaleon]

Okay, so I'm trying out a Hunter, Wolke.

Since I skipped the tutorial (whoops), I'm wondering - The Ultimate Power... All it does it hit hard, right? No special properties? Just making sure.

Also, how in the world does the skill Pain Shot work? I'm really confused. There should be some poison cloud or something, right?

Depends on the character. Swordsman hits hard (for a swordsman), magician does I THINK but am not too sure. Bowman's hits for peanuts, you actually nerf your dps while doing it against whatever you're shooting. But it's good because it hits pretty much everything 3/4 of a screen length away from you, (including stuff not yet on the screen, important for getting 100%. Do it at the last second and grab those otherwise impossible to get kills), and the summoner's absorbs bullets for everyone and damages for I don't know how much.

They all make you invincible during the duration of the ability though.

[trancehime]

Bowman ultimate is important because it covers the entire screen. Well, almost the entire screen, relative to your character. It is better than the Swordsman's in the sense that it is one burst as opposed to the Swordsman's who must move and remain in range of the targets they are hitting.

[WHMZakeri]

Swords and Mage's are designed to hit hard from where they stand reletive to the boss enemy.

Summoners were designed to suck out every single bullet the boss shoots.

Bowmen's were designed to clear the stage of every enemy on screen just before the "Mission Complete" Announcement on stages 1, 2, and 4.

[KrackoCloud]

Well, I got a good number of replies.
Maybe I should've mentioned that I was only referring to the Bowman Ultimate Power. Oops.

Any help yet on how Pain Shot works?

Never used it myself. I believe it leaves a small cloud of poison where it connects with an enemy, and anything in t hat cloud takes damage over time. Would be great against bosses if they were stationary, however most aren't.

[Gammeru]

I only used it up to level three before I remade.

It fires a light-brown arrow that does normal damage, then leaves behind a green cloud that heavily damages anything that passes through it.
The cloud appears about half a second after impact, meaning it'll do piss-all if the target's moving. The hitbox for the cloud is slightly smaller than the cloud itself, which makes it irritating to see the cloud touching an enemy and...nothing. It's useful if you hit the first enemy in a line, or something. It's fine against bosses, but not great because it only hits a few times before it dissipates.

I don't know, maybe it suddenly becomes awesome at higher levels, but at level three I wasn't feeling it.

Out of curiosity, assuming the reinstate the CB's level cap at some time in the future, how many points of leeway would we have as far as JP goes?

Mostly wondering because, while I know there's better moves, I really want the laser attack (gotta love the lasers).

[Gammeru]

Let's see.

12 JP = One full skill level.
60 JP = One mastered skill.
At level one, you gain 12 JP.
Every level after that gives 8 JP.

Two skills can be mastered by level 15.
Four skills can be mastered by level 30.

After that, you're free to waste JP in skills that you'll probably never use by then.

E: Back when GamenGame hosted, you got 12 JP per level and could master two skills by level 10 and four by level 20, but I guess that made us too powerful too soon.
EE: Well damn, this is a silly system. This is a silly game.

[AlexX Unlimited]

Well thats strange... you can only have 4 skills 'equipped' at any time, right? Or is there a way to use skills you have learned but aren't on your hotkey bar?

I've run into MMOs where you can use skills not on your hotkey bar, but as far as I can tell this doesn't seem to be one of them...

[Gammeru]

I'm sure they'll explain/patch/expand on it later on, but yeah, you can only use four skills at any given time. Probably you could use those other skills for their passives in the skill table, but if that's the only option it's lame.
Maybe in the future they'll overhaul and something drastic will happen, maybe they'll put in some more systems, or add more advanced classes and give you access based on what skills you chose from the first three. But as it is now, the game's potential stops after level 30. Lovely. I'm out.

[Kanako Yasaka]

Oh HELL yes, got Fantastic Party Member with the help of someone else who should be joining us shortly.

[trancehime]

Tomorrow is my last true free day.

I'm going to get up as early as I humanly can so I can prep myself for the FISHING CONTEST

Today, I came in the top 10, with 138000+ points.

I spent 7 hours fishing. I will get the title someday.

[Yatagarasu]

Hi everybody!

Fantastic Party Member is awesome, isn't it? 

[Tsym]

Oh wow I ran into a bunch of characters with Touhou names in the fishing spot, saw the ShrineMaiden guild name, and still didn't make the connection :V

[WHMZakeri]

Hi everybody!

Fantastic Party Member is awesome, isn't it? 

It took me all day and all night, but I finally got it.

All Thanks to:

Oasis
Remidas
And CarpeDiem

I feel so releaved~

[Ghaleon]

I want it but everyone's too chicken to attempt it when I ask ='(

[Yatagarasu]

lvl 20 at last!

I've been with a party trying to get Strange Party Member..
when we where at 8/10 runs in Mist Cloud, the party bugged   

About 20 minutes later reloging, changing party leader, etc we fix the problem. Then in the next run (9/10) one of the party members die... then everybody gets 0/10 again..

Seems that if one party member dies in the process, the whole party gets 0/10, even scoring an A rank. 

[WHMZakeri]

Finally Reached Level 20 myself. Bosses because much much easier when you have an Extra 20 Attack behind you (Even more so with a 20% Boost on top of that. I can easily reach 120 on a good day.)

Also, I never realized Swordsman was such a fun class to play as. It sucks that I can't really do anything like hurt bosses or such, but it's a nice little incentive for meeting new people.

[Kanako Yasaka]

School tomorrow. Won't be able to play much at all. Until weekend at least. :<

[trancehime]

School has started for me, but I'm on a relatively easy streak.

You may be able to catch me on Skype or in-game in Kirrdroa if you are still awake in the wee hours of the night.

[AlexX Unlimited]

Too many games to have to choose between... le sigh.

I notice there's a secret cooking title... Any idea how to get it? I wish to be an awesome chef.

That's [Terrible Cook]. Fail cooking 5 times in a row.

Hurry up and let me get the reqs for Pro Fisherman. I laugh if I get Great Fisherman before then.

Right up my alley, then (or at least the effect is). I should get it easily by trying recipes that are far too difficult for my level.

EDIT: On the subject of titles, I find it quite amusing there's no solo play titles... I gues they're trying to encourage team play? XP

[WHMZakeri]

There's solo titles. They just don't unlock until level 20. There's a huge chain of them that work much the same way as the "Party Member" titles.

[AlexX Unlimited]

Ah, I see... I guess its because having them at lower levels would make them really really easy to unlock (I mean, I'm almost level 10 and I haven't had a party yet... or at least not one that's lasted more than one stage in a level >.>).

[Ghaleon]

Huge chain of solo play ones? really?

Only one I was able to find was "excellent valkarie" which I got. Marvelous valkarie isn't really an option for me since well, all my skills involve auto-attacking (rapid shot and double shot). I'd try to passive run for it but valhalla is IMO one of the worst places to try and passive, I'd rather wait for the level cap to be raised and try something higher level that might seem easier for me.

[WHMZakeri]

I remember Mist Cloud was the best place to get Level 20 titles. a Pacifist run on Mist cloud isn't really that bad if you know how to dodge the mobs, and it's only for the boss stage anyway (Plus, that same chain of titles will later ask you to do a pacifist run at a much harder location anyway, so yeah).

I also managed to clear Mist Cloud using only Arrow Orb in the beta, but it sounds like you'd still need the cap raise before you can get that either.

But yes, both the X Valkyrie and the X Party Member titles are five titles long, with a sixth title awarded if you get every single title before it.

[trancehime]

Valhalla is the easiest, especially considering many solo titles open at Lv30, such as [The Lunatic].

[Ghaleon]

I find it hard because the goblin hunters in stage 5 fly all over the damn place, including under you, they shoot fairly rapidly too. Maybe you guys just have good luck with them. But I find it really silly that you think bifrost is a bish, and passiving valhalla 5 is not.

I find it really silly that you think Valhalla is a bitch period and Bifrost is not.

Stair Bridge is easily the worst, even Glass Bridge isn't as bullshitty
