sp bar?

[scgr]

what is the new sp bar? its not about xp. because it gets up everytime i attack.. also the page where you check stats and stuff like that, its new words. like "Combat defence" and "Element defence" but what is the Sp bar!??!




Edit: ok i figured out you can use it to drink potions. i have 480 sp tought. and if i drink 2 potions at once (which is a cool new feature ) i use 20 of it. and its regenerated the same turn as its my turn again :S so its pointless to have it cost something at all!

Introducing the new green Skill Points (SP) Bar!
Max skill points is 50 + 5 points per character level.
Every battle round, your character will gain 10 SP + a few extra SP based on your level.
Fleeing from battle costs a few skill points. The higher the monster level, the more SP required.
Drinking potions costs a few skill points
Drink two potions at once! Costs 20 skill points
Coming Soon: some Class armor abilities will use SP instead of MP
Coming Soon: some Misc items will use SP instead of MP

also, the smallest screen size has not been removed, you just need this link aq.battleon.com/Build30/game.asp?launchtype=itsy

In before monsters who drain your SP and people crying that they can't use/change their Misc. items, or drink potions, ending with them getting killed.

That's what you get for depending on Potions anyway.

Then again. SP gain is HUEG in the upper levels, so it's very unlikely for you to ever run so low on SP that you can't drink a potion or two every turn.

So yeah. Now that I think about it, what's the point?

[scgr]

i mean.. i cant use enough SP a round to get under 400 :S and it regenerates the next turn.. no point.... stupid idea AE! only cool is that you can use 2 potions at the same time. + if there is class things that costs sp later (hoping for UM ^^) you use something that you dont have to waste turns to get

EYYYYYY! Shalindar's back!

I hate the idea of SP... this is turning into Ragnarok Online. the only good thing is drinking 2 potions at once...

[Shadow]

i dont really get this what happens when your sp bar is full ??

EDIT: i get it now is a stupid idea cus u get back ur sp after monster attacks you so whats the points ? 2 poiton is good

Gah! I almost died seeing that double post. itach7 how long have you been here? You should know the rules by now

[iceberg]

The only one's who would have any problem with SP running out, would be.. level 0's. After that, you're okay. I think.

PROVE ME WRONG

[Ceris - Fire avatar]

i think this should have been 10Sp per battle not per turn..

[iceberg]

True, the SP gain rate seems a tad absurd at the moment.
Does it give you THAT much skill to just enter battle?

[Xenos Infinity]

put it like this: it's now impossible to heal yourself properly after a Megogg hits you. they messed up the whole battle mechanic now. MAKE A SERVER WITHOUT THIS FEATURE SO PEOPLE CAN STILL PLAY!

*Blinks*

Wha?

...This is stupid. It's a meaningless addition as implemented right now, and if they ever implement it properly I would most likely quit. They claim this game is a 'lunch-break RPG' yet they're trying to implement a system that makes it a pain in the snuggly area! to pick up and play for a few minutes each day.

[iceberg]

Fun fact: AQ stopped being a "lunch-sized RPG" a long time ago, admitted by a few staff members already, to my memory anyway(or they were forum staff, whatever).

Why do they still continue to advertise the game as such?

Because most likely, they are as lazy to edit their ads as I am lazy to write things.

[Ceris - Fire avatar]

i think at the moment their trying to balance game:1 add skill point 2 make DM and UM cost about 20-50 Skill points then that would be hard to farm with them, as you they also boosted worrior a little bit by adding IT i think this thing with SP is good, atleast drago should be happy

Edit:P.S. why do every are so afraid of changes.

[Xenos Infinity]

because change is bad. AQ was fine BEFORE they started messing around with it.

[Ceris - Fire avatar]

it just would have became boring if they wouldn't have changed it little bit.
