@tulukaruk It shouldn't take two weeks to retrain your build any more than to respec your Talents; it should take a few hours of play at low stat values and a day or two for high ones

Beastmen aren't going to be a pushover for PKers, because any Evil-aligned character is unable to access the entirety of the planet and is massively debuffed + curbstomped by the wildlife in the parts they CAN access.

@specter I must have misread! I looked back into it again and for the sake of other readers I'll summarize how eclipses work.

Syndesia and Tartaros are in a binary system, meaning they sort of rotate around each other. This means they regularly eclipse one another. When Tartaros is eclipsing Syndesia, demons don't suffer debuffs when they go there anymore.

Arboreus is not subject to this relationship, so any eclipses it has are not Tartaros-related and demons don't get to be jerks through them.

@target said in PK punishment:

I think there's a lot that can be done to make invading Arboreous troublesome with the planet "fighting back" mechanic they've mentioned. I imagine invaders spawning deep in the jungle away from any settlements and having to use tools and magic to blaze a trail to get through while being stung and attacked by the flora and fauna. There can be warning plants that when set off will warn nearby beastmen that invaders are approaching allowing them to flee or mount a defense. I'm hoping it will be very difficult and require coordinated effort to actually gank beastmen on Arboreous, so that it will be that much more satisfying smashing beastmen skulls with my demon

Arboreus blocks Evil-aligned characters completely from certain areas, so I doubt demons can (ordinarily) invade major cities to begin with. The game has a full astronomical simulation that it uses to track time though, and eclipses can happen that empower Demons, possibly letting them into more areas than normal.

The places on Arboreus that do technically allow Demons on a longterm basis will severely nerf them. I believe they also have a time limit before they're forced to leave the planet.

I played a game where the blacksmith could cast repair on a player and choose an item in their inventory to repair, never having to take it from them.

Something similar for Identify would be great! Maybe even a booth you can set up akin to a player shop, where players can simply slot their item in and pay your fee to identify it.

@morridin Well, for starters, the stat changes need to have the same limitations as they do at character creation - namely that you need more beef points for each point the higher the stat already is.

But furthermore, I think that it should also take longer to change your stats the higher the value you're shooting for. That is, if you're at 18 Int with a goal of 19~20, it'll take longer before it adjusts than it did to get 9 int to 10.

Also, it should remove "excess points" from your highest stat first. So if you have 20+ Str and switch to a low-Str high-End build, your Str is the first thing to drop. This will put the character at a jack-of-all-trades disadvantage until the retraining is complete.

@Gynz

Turns out furry gals were confirmed 3 months ago!

Are there female versions of the beast races?

Hi kureha - there will be female versions, but we haven't started working on them yet :slight_smile:

I'm not gonna tell y'all my character names yet so's I get a better chance to reserve 'em =^

You can change almost everything else about your character, so I don't see why you're not able to change stats too.

You should be able to use not-experience points for it. You know, the same ones you use to purchase Talents.

Or maybe you should just start the game with 10 in everything and while Resting you can set a goal value for each of the stats and as you play the game normally your character will adjust to the set stats over the course of a few hours.

I would definitely play a lizard spearman. That'd be great.

I hope we get effeminate variations of all the Beastman races. Not anime catgirls, just identifiably female.

@gynz I'm absolutely sure Dynamight Gold will be standard, purchasable cash currency. You just get a bunch complimentary if you make it far in the Foundation rewards - I don't know how long the Foundation offers will last, but it should definitely be until the end of 2018 at least since that's when they expect to have the alpha ready.

The Spotlights clarified a bit on how PVP works on Arboreus.

From what I can gather, Demons have a limited amount of kill juice. When they come to Arboreus (or Syndesia for that matter), they start losing kill juice over time, causing the demon to become gradually weaker until they're forced off of the planet or die or whatever. They then have to wait for their kill juice to refill before they can return to Arboreus at full power.

I'd presume that kill juice is expended faster on Arboreus than on Syndesia, and it's probably consumed faster while in a major city region or other lowbie zone.

Just because your character has base ability scores doesn't mean that equipment, achievements, and status effects can't change them.

@stardust Not only can you have multiple characters on your account, but whenever you're in a Safe Zone you can sit down and rearrange all of your talent points and memorized actions for free.

If you have more memorized actions than you do spaces on your hotbar, you can switch them at any time while out of combat.

While you do pick a starter template for what actions you begin the game with, you can eventually unlock every action in the entire game on one character.

@frost Oh.

The problem with playing as a dragon is simple: Every single person will want to play dragon.

That's because dragons are objectively the best living things, which is why they are usually grossly overpowered boss monsters. If you're playing as a little dragon, or as a "half-dragon" or "dragonborn" type character, then it could probably work.

Anyway I think that fae does not suit good for a drake race

Rhubarb (my avatar) is based on the concept of a fae dragon. Got the idea from this silly creature from Everquest II:

So far, we've been shown tiger, elk, bear, and wuff. Are there any more planned for the future?

And for the rest of us, which Beastman races would you like to see in the future? My personal interests are (top 3):

• Bunny
• Cow / minotaur
• Alligator / lizard

@jetah I don't like zone or global chat; they're full of idiots and spam bots and they destroy anything resembling immersion. There should be a dedicated party- & guild-finding system and as little opportunity for gold nets to advertise as possible.
