Yeah, Kalar's chapter was my favourite from CG2.

Hopefully my chapter will be better than my pathetic effort last time (sorry Erave, kinda ruined your good start!)

Which of the replacements will take the place of Kalar?

Based solely on my enjoyment of his chapter in CG2, I vote Mr. Y

(As if I wield influence, lol)

No one is taking his place, it will just go on as scheduled.

The reserves are for when people drop out ahead of time, not for when someone wimps out while they are actually producing something. We used to do that, and all it did was delay shit, mess up the schedule, and half the time the replacements weren't any better than the originals. If enough people drop out that the length of the game is significantly impacted, then the reserves will be added on to the end of the list.

By the way, I'm gonna be away from the internet for four (4) days from June 26 to June 29. It won't interfere with the game making, since I'll be back before my turn officially starts, so don't worry. Just thought I'd let you know in case anyone wants to contact me during that time.

Is it just me or is the battle at the beginning of Impeal's chapter way too hard?

I am on like my 15th attempt now and I'm getting nowhere near winning it.

EDIT:  Okay this is weird.  On the 16th attempt the monster didn't even attack at all.  Has Impeal/Mateui got an explanation for this?

That happened to me too as well. On my first go at that boss, he didn't even attack at all for some reason. Later, I tried to do it again, but kept of losing, as I was always running out of defibrillators, and Savis kept of being KOed. Eventually I won, by pressing attack over and over.

Also, one thing since my memory isn't working properly - is Verdandi on the same island or different?

I think Savis has some ice magic that can freeze the enemy, just use it and the battle is a piece of cake.

Verdandi is on another island, play more of Impeal's chapter. :)

(Impeal let me test his chapter, so that I can test the battle charsets as I was making them)

Well.

If things are too crazy, I will balance them out myself as soon as Y2D is done.

Well, it's just that there's no indication of the monster's weakness at all, and since it comes so early on, it is a potential frustration for players.

If it is true that you are supposed to freeze it in order to defeat it easier, then there should be some indication of that. Maybe I'll add a battle event where one of the characters is like "DURR MAYBE ICE WILL WORK WELL."

Well, I just assumed two things:

1) Players would be using their magic instead of just mashing attack.

2) I assumed that players would assume that a dragon using fire attacks would be weak against water/ice type attacks. I guess it's a Pokemon mindset or something.

But yeah, since four people have said that it's too hard without an explanation of the weakness, I guess it needs one, so definitely feel free to add it. Sorry about that guys.

-edit-
Oh yeah.

That never happened to me, but I only tested it 4 or 5 times. I have no idea what could cause it, since the battle doesn't have any battle events, and the bahavior settings all seem correct. =\

Well, if memory serves, you shouldn't even have any defibrillators at that point in time, since Fighter's chapter didn't have any and the boss is literally a minute or two into my chapter. But, the way I planned it out, if you fight the battle right, you shouldn't need any defibrillators. If Savis kept on being KO'd, then that's really just bad luck and means that the boss was getting high hits in.

The boss doesn't use his strong attack (fire breath) until 4 moves into the battle. Savis should survive one or two of his normal hits, which means she should be able to get in one or two attacks before dying of a normal hit (and this is assuming that the boss doesn't attack Aydin instead). The ice attack will always freeze, so just one turn should be more than enough to freeze the monster.

The only way I could see someone losing the battle is if they either didn't use magic or just got exceedingly unlucky. There is more than enough time to freeze the monster, at which point it's frozen for the rest of the battle and you can just chip away at it's health while it stands there doing nothing.

In fact, now that I say that, that could possibly be the explanation of why the monster didn't attack you guys in certain battles. If you used your ice magic before it got the chance to do a first attack (which is likely, since its agillity is lower than Savis') then it would be frozen for the rest of the battle and not do anything, so it would give the impression that it doesn't attack. In fact, I'm now pretty sure that this is what happened. Once it's frozen, when you target it with an attack, it should say "Paralyze" in blue letters at the top of the screen. That's how you can tell if it's frozen or not.

But yeah, if the battle pans our correctly, you shouldn't have to use any items and you should take minimal if any damage. But that's only if you paralyze the boss. If not, you'll definitely have a tough time.
