[Colonel Aster]

oh that rasler, the fucker just wants attention and that's all. he made it look like he's making this awesome rpg, but in actuality he just shows pics from what he made years ago to get people hyped so they give him attention, i dont think any new work is being done at all, its just all an attention grab

 

[Rem]

well, that just sad

 

[Colonel Aster]

Sad but true, I hate people that do this, just do something/promise something to get attention and recognition from others and deliver absolutely nothing..

 

[Lord Aiden]

Hey @Colonel Aster can I plz get the Dioneve file ?

 

[Colonel Aster]

Here you go

 

[Rem]

looks like Dioneve hasnt been eating her cereal and is weak hit point wise

 

[Colonel Aster]

In the missions she’ll have some additional health items and a cloak of flame, but she’s not a hero you engage directly with your forces, shes more of the hero that has her henchmen do her work for her. I think Blake mentioned that she’ll send waves of undead at you and also that it’ll be likely that after a battle occurs she would appear raise your own fallen soldiers and have them attack you. This is all the planning stage however.

 

[Lord Siler]

@Rem How do you like her ultimate?

 

[Rem]

not what i thought it would be, but realli awesome for an ultimate

 

[Lord Siler]

here's how much fun I'm having this week....

[Lord Aiden]

That's a lot of code, what does it do?

 

[Lord Siler]

encodes a username and password into a hash basically

 

[Lord Aiden]

too technical for me, but good job for writing it

 

[Razorfang]

for someone who is a professional necromancer Dioneve sure doesnt have my necromancy related spells

 

[Lord Siler]

That's very true, but at the same time her spells are powerful and she is well balanced, her ultimate in particular is very good

 

[Razorfang]

hey so how was the class you kept talking about ? do you miss it now that its done?

 

[Lord Siler]

I already told you guys everything about that, it was fun, tedious and yet enjoyable at the same time

Very weird in terms of the grading though, you had a bunch of short quizzes that were worth a large chunk of your grade, and then you get a huge final exam, needless to say it wasn't what I expected at all.

 

[Lord Aiden]

@Lord Siler : isn't that easier than 3 tests and a final?

 

[Lord Siler]

Not really, it's more annoying having to worry about a quiz every two weeks, plus the final was really huge

anyway back to Silventria discussion we need more lore!

 

[Lord Aiden]

Well what about the Garithos model hero, and Darvel ?

 

[Lord Siler]

I dont know about the Garithos, but Darvel is just a minor character, he was never supposed to do much except deliver a one liner when you attack his base, from what I recall that was it

 

[Lord Aiden]

Nesmene (sp) ?

 

[Lord Siler]

From what Blake said

"State to the north, their capital is atop the frozen plateau, their involvement in the conflict is very limited because the rebels do not threaten or attack them directly, they oppose Milrein's expansionist and military policies but have little success in changing any of these policies"

Their element is obviously ice, so their specialty is ice magic, Blake said they have the most powerful elite units because of the harsh weather in their homeland
idk who their leader is

 

[Lord Aiden]

interesting, so

Silventria - wind elemental based
Milrein - electric elemental based
Nesemene - ice elemental based
Rebels - fire elemental based

what about all the other place?

 

[Lord Siler]

That is correct, I'm not sure about all the other places, but basically there is at least 1 place that is water elemental based, another that is earth based, as well as others

 

[Lord Aiden]

Hey on the main continent map, where is Rhivenhall located

 

[Lord Siler]

no idea, ask Aster or Blake when he gets back, I was wondering about this too actually

 

[Lord Aiden]

Interesting, are you guys still planning a mission where you have to assasinate that imperial marshal or field marshal?

 

[Lord Siler]

it was in the works last time I checked,

he was supposed to have a devotion aura that granted like +10 defense, really weird feature....

 

[Lord Aiden]

lol, Blake had some weird thoughts, wait that's the one that used the Grey - captain model right ?

 

[Lord Siler]

Yup, that Marshal was supposed to have like 2,000hp and a whole group of Ironguards around him, supposed to have been a crazy mission, but then apostle and his buddy left so we got nowhere

 

[Lord Aiden]

that really sucks

 

[Razorfang]

and i was realy hyped for that one

 

[Lord Siler]

Yea, I wonder what it would've turned out to be like, but we have better missions, like the mission where you have to face off against the forces of Eliver the diviner where you have to destroy his palace, that mission should be gold

 

[Razorfang]

i played the demo, it was good but the mission still needs lots of polishing and things added to it to make it feel complete

 

[Lord Siler]

Glad you like it, that was mostly done by Blake and Aster, I helped out a little as well

 

[Razorfang]

it is one of those epic missions where you have to basically "crawl" from the bottom of the map to the top and destroy a particular building, crawl because the map is filled with a very aggressive enemy forces, the final enemy base has these spectral knights, they have over 1200hp have resistant skin, spell immunity and do massive damage to both ground and air units

what a challenge

 

[Lord Siler]

 

[Lord Aiden]

Razor, sounds like you like hard maps

 

[Razorfang]

no, i just like those missions in particular, where you have to battle epic forces all across the map in order to destroy a key building or buildings (I hate missions where you just have to destroy everything, too much like a melee game for me)

 

[Lord Siler]

I feel you on that one

 

[Lord Aiden]

ok I see, so the difficulty doesnt matter?

 

[Razorfang]

well obviously i prefer a challenge, but i dont mean a challenge that makes me want to punch a hole through my screen

 

[Lord Aiden]

lol, no wonder you dont like arkain then

 

[Lord Siler]

lol, no wonder you dont like arkain then

lol

 

[Razorfang]

i already explained why i dont like arkain, had nothing to do with difficulty, go back and read it if you like , im not explaining it again

 

[Lord Siler]

Hey do you know when Rem will be around

 

[Lord Aiden]

No clue, what you have to recite your love poetry to her?

 

[Lord Siler]

Lol, something like that, but seriously e-mail me or something when she's around, my messenger app is broken for some reason

 

[Lord Aiden]

ok
