  • Drastic decrease in commerce item stock and now restock every 12:00am and pm rather than every five minutes, so they're more likely to run out faster (especially item 3 and 4 from the list).
    
  • Limited stock items now restock every 12:00am rather than every two real-life hours.
    
  • Succubus Swimsuit actually attracting a succubus during commerce (Charlene is a siren). :blood:

  You want to make people less likely to do commerce? Cuz I think DevCAT is doing a good job at that as is.

  I think it makes little sense that they never run out of stock or ever fall back onto the largely unused low leveled items.
  
  That said, the limited stock items aren't really ever accessible to the vast community.

  Stock does run out in Ruairi. . . Not sure what's going on with commerce in your server.

  It'd be cool if we could make a few of the items, and sell them to the posts for a fixed price. That or part time jobs we can do to make said things and we get to keep a small extra that is made (ptj guaranteed reward). This would then slightly renew the amount around if they were some limited item.

  I was actually thinking about something like that. What if we were able to make crops in our homestead (like Perfume Making), but make it more involved like Taillteann Farming, and be able to use the rewards to trade for commerce commodities like in Scathach, except you grow and spend time to make the items instead of killing monsters people don't want to deal with.

  That's the entire point of Scathach.

  I think that should be something reserved for Elemental Wave rather than default.

  • -45 at rank 1
    

  
  + Now reduces enemy Protection
  

  
  
  • -15 at rank 1
    

  
  
  That's pretty excessive when you take into account of all the other Defense/Protection reducing factors:
  

  
  
  • Spinning Uppercut: -30 Def and -10 Prot
    
  • Bone Dragon: -30 Def and -10 Prot
    
  • Frozen Blast: -22 Def and -12 Prot
    
  • Piercing Level: -80 Def and -45 Prot
    
  • Armor Pierce: ~ -99 Def
    

  
  
  From all this and Smokescreen's current values (-20 Def and -7 Prot), you have -281 Def and -84 Prot. Also Smokescreen is an large area of effect and not a single target/small cone with chance like Spinning Uppercut or Frozen Blast, so I find it unreasonable for Smokescreen to surpass them.
  
  What Smokescreen does need though is the ability to reapply/overwrite itself, and maybe actually show how much Def/Prot was reduced like the other reduction skills.

  How come? Barrier spikes in late are usually one or two shot'd because of their lack of resistances.
  
  If it was a elemental wave-only effect, then it'd end up just like frozenblast, not really worth using without elemental wave enhancement.

  I'm worried that it would end up getting too sturdy, especially when you can make more when it goes down and attack from behind them.

  I was considering limiting the casts to one barrier, which wouldn't be too bad if they made the barrier a bit wider.
  
  As for the revisited spikes being too sturdy, I don't think they'll be too much of a problem, and will still go down a bit slower in Heroic mode of alban, especially with the Master title.

  I'd like to see paladins get an active skill, to put them on the same level as the other transformations
  
  id also like to see some more control bars be made, 4 is far too few when you compare it to other weapons with skill sets e.g. dual guns
  shurikens: the same issue as control bars, too few options
  
  Range skills need a further revamp, the archery renovation didnt do enough to make archery a skill set that many people will invest in
  
  maybe some demonic, divine, or celtic clothes/armors, ik we'll get a coupe with g20, but id like to see some new things for the the older crafting skills besides blacksmithing and carpentry
  maybe a skill set that uses rapiers and scythes? it somehow feels they intentionally left rapiers out of the close combat renovation for a reason, whether they share a skill set or have 2 seperate small sets idk, or care rly, just would like something more for them.
  
  
  a way to get more will...as it stands it falls behind the other main stats for dmg (the 4 main stats being str, int, dex, and will) by a notable amount, how this is done i dont rly care, as long as it gets done....
  
  id also like to see another skill or even skill set that uses matk, atm its primarily limited to the magic talents, and nothing much outside of them
  
  
  also, id like to see some more doe with spirit weapons, maybe some customization options and new types of weapons able to be made into them, itd be nice to see ego knuckles, ego instruments(maybe?), and ego control bars or something, ego dual guns and shurikens are also a possiblity.
• Kapra wrote on 2015-09-28 08:12
  I'd also like to see new skillsets be based on new stats rather than the hybridization of Str and shit. Fore example, adding an Xyz stat and make existing skills like Firebolt and Windmill give x amount of Xyz, as how Thunder gives Will, etc.
  
  I honestly think it's really stupid that they made Str give Def and I think the reason they did that because there is no other stat they could give it to (and DevCAT is way to Str/Giant-centric).

  In an interview Devcat actually did state they intentionally left out rapiers/scythes in Melee Renovation to work on something else with them. They also said in another interview that they've acknowledged the inefficiency of spirit weapons.
  
  However, so far they've yet to do anything about these.
