I, too, don't mind moving away from DBZ canon, but on some level I do miss the power upsets that happened in the series, and the RoSaT was one of the McGuffins that allowed those things to happen. Gohan becoming a SSJ, Piccolo's fusion with Nail and (later) Kami, Vegeta healing from near death and coming back strong enough to fight final form Frieza (kind of) - these were all moments that I really got a kick out of watching because they brought sidekick characters to the front of the action.

This understandably wouldn't really work so well in an online RPG - at least in any permanent sense. Our epeens are very sensitive, and we don't like it when a newbie that just joined can enter a room and skip a huge part of leveling up that we had to suffer through.

But still, I do miss the idea of it.

I agree. Man do I agree to the tenth degree. Gohan even contended with Frieza because of his anger issues.

<3

EDIT: To add I miss the stuff like Gohan and Krillin fighting Guldo.

Well, the Gohan thing you could still do here because of the Compassionate trait, but you get what I mean.

Bold Text.

That's easy for you to say. You're not the one working around it.

For emphasis. I don't care if someone finds this lame, but we are pretty blatant and honest in this point: We do this for free and we are not update bots. We are not looking for accounting homework to be done in our "fun" time. Adding creative content or participating in the site? Sounds great, willing to put time into it (more or less, depending on whom). Staff wtf y is my spar not graded yet its been 3 hrs already omg lazy? Kiss my ass and diaf. (err, general point, I'm not like directing that comment at anyone)

Oh, Sophia, I agree with your last comment that I didn't quote. The one agreeing with Sage. Yeah, its pretty obvious I like moving away from canon (though here's another blatant comment: Jack, you pulled the "Ashe wants to turn this place into Heroes and has been trying to do so for a while now" out of your ass. And its ok, you don't have to defend that, we'll forget you wasted time saying it) but my direction is more Sci Fi, I guess in a bit of a Cowboy Bebop/DBZ/Gundam mixture. But for the community we have (Belle, you are a prime example of this although I in no way mean that negatively; different opinions, even conflicting ones or - in the case of other rpgs - competition, is healthy for sites and businesses as a whole) that would be a detriment in practice.

About intentional power gaps... Um... That's one of the things I will likely fight against during my entire duration here. I know it may be something I'm in the wrong about, but I can not get comfortable with the idea of (as I view it) intentionally keeping an imbalance entirely for the coolness factor. As much as we hate when some manga suddenly cheeses their way into having every fucking character go "Oh wait, but now to reveal my ultimate technique!" "HAHA! What about MY SUPA ULTIMATE TECH?" "OH YEAH? MY IS ULTRA HYPA MEGA TECH!" (Bleach, I'm looking at you, way to fuck it up).

Why didn't you bold the part where I mentioned how complicated it would be.

EDIT: What are we even talking about here, not only do you guys have to deduct XP regularly now, but people wouldn't be doing this every day. =/

Because I didn't need to. You stated that we could work around the complication of doing something like that and I told you that from your point of view you have no idea wtf you're talking about.

Jack · 08-20-2009, 04:50 AM

I don't follow.

You guys should both stop posting for a few minutes...

I just want to apologize for posting that, it was pretty sly and unnecessary. Can we move on?

That's fine, probably for the best. I can't say its unlikely that I took it more to heart than it was intended, but it DID stick out to me, for better or worse, so I apologize if I did attack it harder than it should have been.

Moving on.

Super agree. Waiting on Aizen's Universe Collapse Bankai

How can Aizen apply to this? Of course he's strong, would be a little bit queer if he wasn't.

Rafael · 08-20-2009, 05:36 PM

Well, Aizen's Shikai is like an infinitely better version of Tousen's Bankai, ridiculous in the extreme. To maintain a semblence of on-topic, I kind of like Mal's idea of a permanent PP point increase, either in the RoSaT or if the Pendulum Room ever goes into the works.

Yeah, but he's the main antagonist. He's the bad guy. Tousen was never to be on equal level with him anyway because Aizen hid his true power. I'm just saying it wasn't like he pulled it out of his ass, it was just that he was hiding it.

To also jump on-topic, despite Mal's suggestion, it've already been stated that staff prefers a solution that does not make it easier in the terms of XP/PP etc.

I believe we're at a standstill here. The ROSAT is used over and over again in the anime to somehow become stronger in some way, by training in there using the room' special power. Truth be told, the time is nerf-time.

It has already been said several times that gaining XP is way too easy, simply because like it has been pointed out several times, you can buy Super Saiyan before even coming close to headquarters. Maybe it's time to edit in the code and make us get less XP with how much we write. I know it's not a solution there's to be like, we're all getting a little bit nerfed after all, but maybe this would solve it.

Belle Hibiki · 08-20-2009, 05:59 PM

If you want a PP increase, earn enough experience to buy one yourself.

Jeez, guys, it's not like it's hard.

WAIT!

I Do have a question...

Say... Vad... goes into ROSAT... He changes Metal Binding for... Regenteration...

What about his moves that involved Metal Binding? What happens to them?
