JumpChain CYOA Thread #1569: Exploding Dementors Edition

Can someone link me to way back when people first started waifuing ziz?

no bible jumpchain yet?

So if I took Bribed the Doctor in the Terraformars with a piece of Zion from Worm, and also managed to somehow make him a companion, could I start the cycle on the Johj?

>>53908295
There was a Genesis wip

What's your favorite season, /jc/?

>>53908511
Winter.

>>53908350
Zion sufficiently advanced exotic matter space crystals and Thus not a candidate for Bribed the Doctor,also considering that he is bigger than many planets and mosaic organs scale in power to how much smaller the animal is from a human , you're probably not going to be in a position to do much of anything with a Zion Mosaic organ.

CEASE AND DESIST

>>53908511
fall

>>53908511
A nice gentle winter in which the snow envelopes the land in its frozen grace.

>>53908511
Winter.

No particular reason.

>>53908511
Fall, since it's not as cold as Winter and not as hot as Summer. I like the falling leaves more, the decline of shit head blood sucking insects. Spring is okay too, rains a lot and I love it when it rains.

I don't really know how much I should wank the Force. Is it essentially useless in the face of a small military or is it the planet buster plot device wielded by Palpatine and Nihilus?

How far do you take the Force after centuries of practicing with it?

>>53908511
spring!

Season 3 was objectively the peak of Jumpchain, but I would argue that season 10 was the most entertaining.

>>53908678
Yes.

Seeing that you can do pretty much with it, I would say that it depends on how much time, effort and 'sacrifice' are you willing to put on it.

>>53908350
You're basically going to get nothing because Scion's shards that each individually grant the powers he has, are super massive, and vastly larger than you. That's if his weird biology is in any way compatible, which it likely isn't.

Duck season.

>>53908511
Autumn. It's much cooler than the summertime, but not as cold as winter. The leaves all change into beautiful colours. And it's the time of Halloween, which is my favorite of all holidays.
I even took Autumn as my magic in Chronicles of Narnia.

Conversely, I hate the spring. Absolutely loathe it. Allergies show up, and there's no consistent temperature. It's just freezing in the morning and blazing hot in the afternoon. Fuck spring.

>>53908295
There's a Chick Tract jump, which is almost as good (and possibly crazier).

>>53908749
>Seeing that you can do pretty much with i
I assume you meant "pretty much everything"? Anyway, doesn't the force kinda suck? Iirc it's telekinesis, precog, shitty healing, and some esoteric stuff.

>>53908784
Rabbit season.

>>53908873
In the EU you have the top tier contenders ripping the life out of planets and tugging the cores out of stars. Some of the feats would be hard for an Alpha+ Psyker to match.

>>53908860
remember that Jack was a hard line biblical literalist it's exactly as crazy as the Bible,no more no less

>>53908940
Reminder that you're full of shit.

>>53908959
yes, but not about this

>>53908930
Huh. Does any Star Wars jump actually allow us to get EU style force?

>>53909026
You can reach the level of the top tier force wielders and accomplish their feats. Here's the supplement.

>>53909011
Nah, this too. Literalists who borrow from texts filled with metaphors are crazy.

>>53908678
Depending on how powerful in the force you are and how much you've studied it, it can do quite a few things. Nihilus could consume planets with the force, and since he was the Star Wars version of Galactus he needed to. Palpatine could, at least in Legends lore, create Force Storm wormholes that could destroy planets, the Sith Emperor could dominate the wills of thousands of sith masters and did so to perform some weird planet killing ritual. Naga Sadow could create galaxy wide illusions and created a supernova at some point. Top end Force abilities

>>53909026
The supplement explicitly says you can train to get to those levels, but if you want to be Abeloth you'll need to perform the same thing she did, which would essentially turn you into some HP Lovecraft Force monster

>>53908511
Winter I guess.

>>53909084
I didn't Say he wasn't full of shit I'm saying I'm not full of shit for saying he is exactly as crazy as the Bible it interpreted literally.

>>53908873
Ah, but the esoteric stuff is the fun part. Mindtricks are simple, but force senses and tutaminis stuff can get pretty fun too for example.

>>53909026
Yeah, you can go to the EU canon in a bunch of them, and train up to that level anyway according to the supplement.

>>53909089
Original questioner here, how do you rationalise those feats in line with the feats displayed in George Lucas' vision?

>>53908730
wait, wait what?

>>53909089
> create Force Storm wormholes that could destroy planets
Kinda defeats the point of the Death Star, doesn't it?

>>53908511
Early spring for me, just when the snow is thawing out

>>53909122
He only mastered the technique after his Resurrection, supposedly.

>>53909117
>George Lucas' vision
Is schlock.

Also, Aboleth and the Family ended up showing up in his cartoon that he had approved of, so he certainly had no complaints with them.

>>53909117
>implying anyone cares about what George Lucas thinks

>>53909119
Yeah, I don't get it either.

How anyone could find season 10 more entertaining than season 5 or even 7 is beyond me. It was kind of a slow one, so I started to lose interest halfway through.

>>53908759
>>53908549
>>53908551
Uh, well that's a bust.
On a related note, could get Panacea's biokynesis, touch someone with an M.O. operation then copy it over?
Or just make a ridiculously broken microscopic arthropod with it, and get an M.O. operation from that.

>>53909089
>created a supernova
Well, that's certainly a lot stronger than the guys in the Star Wars movies.

>>53909157
It's just a little difficult seeing Qi-Gon Jin do a mind trick or run at 70MPH and then, in the same universe, have the Sith Emperor potentially wipe life out from the galaxy.
>>53909225
This!

>>53909202
that second thing seems reasonable At least,I'm not knowledgeable enough about worm to say if the first thing would be though.

Someone give me opinions on my Charmed build, I've got about 3, really general, routes I'm considering.

The first one is simple and self-explanatory, Witch with Conjuring the Elements for the flexibility and raw power. After that, either support it with perks or just dump everything into being a Witch/Warlock to really double down on power.

Second is Witch with Transformation, Transmutation, and Find Weakness, then fill it out with odds and ends. This is a thematic build, and Find Weakness with the 2 powers means it should be fairly easy to just make whatever I need to kill things, but it lacks immediate firepower and requires preptime. Being able to just snap my fingers and turn anyone way weaker than me into a water cooler is pretty neat though.

Third is a boring Whitelighter build. I like support builds, and they have a lot of neat tricks I like, but being a Whitelighter means I'd be reporting directly to the Elders. From what I remember of the show, they're assholes and I'm not sure how long I could put up with it.

>>53909117
I don't. This is all EU stuff, which he had little jurisdiction over as far as I'm aware. Lucas had a vision of what the Force should be and other authors went somewhere else with it.

>>53909225
EU stuff is leagues beyond what's shown in the movies. George Lucas probably didn't imagine the Force being capable of any of this, and just sort of let other people do what they wanted with it. There's a reason Canon and EU are distinct.

>>53909321
>There's a reason Canon and EU are distinct.
Which has not much to do with Lucas and everything to do with Disney. You're kinda misunderstanding the old canon system under Lucas.

>>53909355
EU stuff has always been out there in comparison to the movies, which were really the only thing that should ever have been considered canon in my opinion.

>>53909312
>Conjuring the Elements
A waste of points. The raw power stuff in Charmed is laughably weak. Going for utility would be your best bet.

>>53908613
Fucking hell, it took me a moment to understand why it didn't work.
Good job you utter twat.

>>53909407
Fuck it!
I'll have Obi-Wan tearing up Star Destroyers and Darth Vader choke every bitch within a five light year radius of him. Make it consistent

>>53909407
>in my opinion.
Which isn't how they were set up originally. There were tiers of canonicity, the EU wasn't non-canon. And frankly, I disagree, because any scheme that lauds the Prequels while shitting on things like the KOTOR series and the Thrawn trilogy isn't worthy of of being considered.

what did you do in RWBY /jc/?

>>53909486
fight Grimm save Penny, sell arms, usual jumper things

>>53909450
The prequels are god awful, I would rather take KOTOR as canon any day. They are some seriously shit films. It would be in everyone's best interest to pretend they didn't exist. Star Wars only had 3 movies before Disney bought it and started remaking them with different characters

>>53909164
I wonder when the current filler will end. The current shitposter-kun arc is pretty meh.

>>53909312
>>53909423
Don't bother buying Transformation and Transmutation, just buy Molecular Manipulation. You'll learn to do that stuff and more after a while anyway, so it's just a waste of points. As for the Whitelighters, if you just do good you should't have to interact with the Elders all that much. And not all of them are assholes either, so you might have some luck as to who you report to.

>>53909486
>Everyone replies with "muh waifu"

>>53909442
Most of the shit that stands out is supposed to be special, like Nihilus being the product of a force blackhole and being completely inhuman and consumed by it, rather than an actual person.

>>53909450
>shitting on things like the KOTOR series
Who is doing this? They must pay for bringing dishonor upon best SW.

>>53909486
I made a build, never jumped it.

>>53909507
I'd disagree on that too desu, the Disney movies suck.

>>53908873
Yes.

Also, what >>53908930 says. Palpatine at some point was mind-controlling the entire galaxy and creating force tornados in space that ate fleets.

>Upon spending decades immersing himself in the many facets of the Force, it was believed that Sidious had a mastery over all known powers, previously unknown powers, and could create new abilities on a whim. By the time of his final death, he had become a nexus of the dark side capable of tearing apart the fabric of space.

>>53909486
Kill the hunters, waifu the Grimm.

>>53909563
Disney and Bioware. Bioware with that piece of shit TOR, Disney by declaring all of it non-canon.

>>53909569
I mean, we've only had the two so far. Rogue one was only good for the Vader scene at the end, the other one was a shitty remake of A New Hope. I mean, seriously, powerful force sensitive on a desert planet that needs to blow up a giant planet killing space station? I wonder where I saw that before. Fucking disney...

Can we at least agree that Clone Wars was pretty good?

>>53909486
Accidently got a waifu, casually foiled Cinder's plot, then got Ozpin & co fired and replaced by people who are at least semi-competent. None of the good guys died. After that I tried to make permanent solution to the grimm, and met with mixed success.

>>53909574
>Bioware with that piece of shit TOR
>Giving Revan a face

They are the true monsters.

>>53909599
Ray or however her name is spelled is a less compelling protagonist than Rei would be.

>>53909599
The prequels were way better than the Disney movies. Full stop.

>>53909606
The one where Mace Windu crushes grevious' chest was better.

>>53909606
I hear that, but I never watched it. I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt based on other people's recommendations.

>>53909621

Why would they waste Best Actor on that role.

>>53909629
Not really. It had some pretty cool stuff, but it was pretty void aside from visuals. The only thing that was better was Grievous being menacing and competent all the time instead of just in some episodes.

>>53909606
Clone Wars was good. Rebels was also good in my opinion, but I agree with >>53909629.

>>53909653
Don't know. He's a great actor, though I can only see him as Hannibal now, but to kill him off so quickly was a bad move. Fun fact, his brother is the voice of Thrawn in rebels

Honestly, even with The Hunt being his best interpretation, But he has that 'uneasiness' aura that works much better when he is control of the situation.

The worst part is that he was actually competent and good when not fighting any main character. He murdered a few Jedi in the series, although he still tied or lose to Master Jedi, while in the old comics, books and animated series he would still be a threat to all but a very few Jedi in the galaxy.

Maybe Grievous was too strong to be kept as a recurring villain without him start offing characters every time he appeared. So they needed either to create a new recurring villain that would sit well with the audience or simply use the old one and nerf him enough for the main characters to win the day without being utterly defeated in every single encounter.

I wonder what would happen if he had landed in Nazi Germany. Seeing we now have a Nazi Cap, Nazi Supes would be hilarious. Especially considering his creators were Jewish. Ironically Stalin sent more people to the gulags than Hitler ever did with concentration camps.

Awakened is what happens when the user gets hit with the arrow a second time. It gives a second ability. Requiem is what happens when the stand gets hit instead, evolving the stand into basically a new stand. Its basic thing is supercharged or in the manga changed completely.

A normal Stand is your fighting spirit manifest into the world. An Awakened Stand has you get shot with the Arrow, source of the virus that activates Stands, for a second time. A Requiem Stand has your stand, either normal or Awakened, getting shot by the Arrow.

Awakened stands gain another power along the lines of the previous one. Requiem Stands gain a power that is the apex of what the power could do, like one dude Retcon'd the world with his Requiem.

With all this in mind there is a different mechanic, known as Acts, which allows a person to basically take their Stand further down one abilites development.

https://pastebin.com/9dSvE06E - and I've still got to un-retcon Yion Green back into that list, meaning an additional Stand for her.

Hijacking Stand topic for another Stand question:

Given we see Stands with personalities, is it possible for a Stand to develop to the point that it counts as a Companion?

>>53910930
Why would you want to prank someone with that? Still, I'm sure there's spells for it in some D&D class.

>>53910956
Maybe?

>>53910956
I would think not, considering that in JoJo if you take someone's stand from them you are removing half of their soul.

To the anon who recommended Ebeli Quest, thanks. It's pretty awesome.

>>53910956
Fanwank? I don't think most stands develop in that way. Either they are special in that they can evolve, or they start sentient, but they do not gain a conscience of their own if they lacked one.

Anyway, I guess it's one of those things that would require you to actually import and make them a companion, just like Third Circles, Blood Weapons or other body/soul bounded beings that travel with you without being companions.

Overlord isn't a race, it's a class.
And since classes are abstracted because the jumpmaker didn't feel like inventing hundreds of classes that exist in canon but are never shown the answer is "no, but".

The "but" comes from the fact that the jump doc literally tells you Momonga's exact build in the 42nd Supreme Being scenario.
As in "take these options and you're build is identical to Momonga".

>>53911024
Only if you also take their memories, just taking their stand doesn't do that. They also won't fully recover without their memories, even if you give them back their stand.

>Why would you want to prank someone with that? Still, I'm sure there's spells for it in some D&D class.

Because it is funny if used in places like chatmed where the mcs can barely keep it in their pants to begin with. Giving them chronic heat syndrome makes me laugh.

>>53910994
>>53911025

>>53911066
Looking at his stat sheet it says, Overlord is under Racial Levels, so it's a race.

>>53910994
Power Word: Orgasm is in D&D, as is the mighty prismatic chastity belt. Popular with jealous husbands who don't know about wizards being immune to their own prismatic spells.

>>53911066
>Overlord isn't a race, it's a class.
Skeleton overlord is a race, read the light novels.

>>53911066
Well, is a racial class

>>53911017
Yes, just purchase level 100 and assume that you dumped some levels into race classes

Because otherwise the notes at the end about extra abilities that you get from purchasing heteromorphs make no sense. A level 1 doppelganger can only take one form aside from their default one.

>>53911132
The actual progression is:

Skeleton Mage -> Elder Lich -> (others?) -> Overlord

>>53911133
Alright, thanks. I was going over my build again and had to make sure I wasn't wasting CP on a beginner race.

>>53911117
The Book of Erotic Fantasy is third party.

>>53911162
You totally are though.
It's mentioned in the LN (and the manga too iirc) that Momonga's built is mostly an RP choice and actually on the weak side for Level 100 characters.
He says himself he mainly survived PvP by being clever/using good strategy (and having good gear and P2W items of course).

>>53911224
Oh yeah, totally. I'm not going for his build though, that was just an example. I took all Magic Caster class skills, which pretty much means I've got some really broken class/race/whatever.

>>53911162
The notes make it clear that taking a race does not grant actual racial levels, just the abilities, so taking it and Level 100 is on par with Level 100 and Realm of Heroes stats wise, with fun abilities on top. This isn't how it works in setting, as >>53911224 points out, just how it works for a jumper

If you buy a race with CP then you're getting all the racial levels for free. Read the notes. Skeleton + Necromancer = Overlord race. You just don't buy the racial levels out your 100 levels, you get them for free.

So a Doppleganger is going actually be a Greater Doppleganger. Like Pandora's Actor, he's able to mimic other classes & races. You're getting frontloaded with stuff to make up for the fact that you have to pay for a race with cp, instead of getting Realms of Heroes for free.

Realms of Heroes + Level 100 = Het Race + Level 100. Although the Het race is going to have a little more stat advantage. However talents make up for it.

You have 100 levels to toss around however you want for your fluff, you can spend 30+ levels on "race levels" to be an Overlord like Momonga.

>>53911224
He's not though because of some slightly ridiculous ruling Brellin made saying that heteromorph gives you a buff to everything. Think it's in the notes.

>>53911272
I had more than a little bit of help from people here.

>>53911283
Been a while since I read Overlord but is there an Angel equivalent of taking RoH and Lvl 100?

>>53911325
Angels, from what we've seen, seem to have their power based on the 9 Choirs of Angels, and thus the higher the Choir the stronger the Angel.
Top tier would then logically be Seraphim.

>>53911283
While you are answering overlord questions If you choose realm of heroes and level 100 do you gain class abilities from those classes, or just raw stats?

>>53911325
Most of the angels we've seen were scrub tier, but Momonga was talking about the Seraph Empyrean, supposedly one of the strongest angel monsters. You'd likely be quite a bit stronger than that if you took Level 100 + Angel. Probably some kind of Archangel.

>>53911283
Another thing to keep in mind is that Warrior origins don't get martial arts if they're players, at least by canon.
Can't remember if Brellin ruled otherwise in the jump doc.

>>53911325
I'm not sure if that's what you mean, but since Angel is a heteromorphic race Angel + Level 100 is the equivalent of RoH + Level 100.

Jumpers.

What's the most drastic change you've made to a world's canon storyline?

>>53911347
That's only for monsters though. Player races would have quite a bit more customization and variation, I'd assume.

the Joker,Lois and the baby never died in injustice, leading to an entirely different timeline were superheroes don't conquer the world.

>>53910931
Don't forget Iliona and the eight sons, as you pick them up.

>>53911365
Archangels are tier 2 Angels, Seraphim are the tier 9, Cherubim are tier 8 interestingly enough.

>>53911377
Well yes, but I would assume that the Choirs at least offer some level over power as Race levels, if they were going with that theme at all. Angels aren't exactly as diverse as Demons/Devils are, they have a more strict hierarchy.

I derailed most of Fairy Tail canon by murderizing Acnologia before the S-Class test, so no time skip.
I also murderized Zeref during the trial and all the demons i could find before canon start while i was at it, so it was basically all slice of life and shenanigans after the first year.

>>53911400
>Archangels are tier 2 Angels, Seraphim are the tier 9, Cherubim are tier 8 interestingly enough.
Justice, you are confusing archangels with Archangels. They're two different ranks. The Archangels, capital A, are specific individual angels who are essentially the biggest deal in heaven outside of other stand outs like Metatron and Sandalphon.

>>53911444
Fair enough anon, I just tried to make the same argument back when Overlord first came out and had people shit on my with christian mythology.

I mostly tried because, you know, I took the Angel race.

There are actually several good NPCs in Nazarik, and some of the other Supreme Beings were also good.

One of the founders of the guild was a self proclaimed "hero of justice". They were just a group of friends who all player Heteromorphic Races, the "bad guys" thing came about due to the Meta of the game, where players treated Heteromorphic players as the bad guys, Ainz Ooal Gown just played with the already existing idea.

Plus the Floor Guardian of the 8th floor is an angel.

Rosario + Vampire's "Horehore-kun" and Mushoku Tensei's "Boreas Aphrodisiac Recipe" give you aphrodisiacs that you can make and use on people. They are extremely powerful.
The Mark of Slaanesh from Warhammer Fantasy: Dogs of War KINDOF does that, but it also renders the victim completely subservient to you and is more like a weirdly flavored mind control.

And also, there was this jump about a manga of some sort that had, like, werewolves or something, who all lived on some continent of their own or something, and the jump had elemental powers, and if you picked up Earth you could radiate an aphrodisiac aura of some sort. But I don't remember the name of the jump.

Lets be honest here that was more so they could funnel cash into the guild and the game than anything else.

Why the fuck does that sound so familiar?

Was that the one with the romans and pokemon?

>>53911591
So essentially a third Kikyo? Or fourth, I guess? I don't know, they played around with resurrections and reincarnations too much, I can't remember how many there were.

>>53911630
Actually it was because none of them wanted to hang out with no-life NEETS(which makes sense considering they are Japanese, and the sigma against NEETS there). Momonga spent WAY more money on the cash-shop than any of the other members of the guild.

No. The US got ran into the ground before Lex took over, afterwards it became ridiculously strong for a country that wasn't trading with anyone because everyone else was a communist dictatorship. It was a pretty good place, and the post-Superman Earth after Lex won and took over the whole place was even better. The last couple pages reveal that in the Red Son universe, Superman isn't from another planet but from the future. Lex's future, where the world is a superscience paradise like classic Golden Age Krypton is shown to be. Kryptonian powers are due to them all being posthumans. And the name Kal-El is a linguistic corruption of Kal L. Kal LUTHOR.

You know that guy who sees a friend get a really cool item in a Gatcha shop for like a dollar? Then spends 500+ dollars trying to get the same item?
That's Momonga. He spent an insane amount of money trying to get a specific rare item that one of his friends got almost immediately. If I'm remembering correctly.

I would say that according to the Overlord wiki. It follows the Christian heirachy. There's 9 classes, in 3 spheres. Class 1 Sphere 3 seems to be the highest the New World is able to summon. My guess for players, Seraphims would probably be the race you're looking for. Seraph Empyrean was considered highest monster, and Ainz said he would have to use his full strength (aka preptime, store items, overmagic) to defeat one.

Depends on how expansive the setting is, how obsessive the fandom is, and how much I care.

If I can get through whatever the setting is in a reasonable amount of time then I might as well. If its a game that I dont care for then usually theres a Lets Play I can tolerate somewhere on youtube.

If the fandom is obsessive enough to have a detailed wiki then usually I prefer that.

Even in settings I like I prefer to set off into lesser known parts and create my own plot.

I like wiki walking, but only casually so if I NEED to obsessively research I generally already really like the setting to begin with.

>>53911224
>Momonga build is shit
But it's actually not. He downplays himself a lot, but all of the other guild-members mention how strong he is. He is not a DPS, he is a wildcard, meaning that he can do anything that the situation demands, from DPS to tank (through summons) and support (he has divine magic and healing abilities thanks to Dark Wisdom).

Also, in the NW he is even stronger due to having a lot of free summons to use (that are only useless against vampires or things that can recover HP by doing damage) and instant-death magics that at bare-minimum will stunt you or kill you regardless of your HP.

>>53911864
Yes, because Momonga was crazy. It's mentioned more than once that he spent way more than anyone else in the guild.

>>53911800
>So was he sent into the past for a stable time loop? So that the utopia would exist?
No, it was the standard Superman thing of the planet being about to be destroyed.

>>53911751
If it's interesting i generally at least take a look at the source material.
If it's not i just gloss over the exact happenings. "Did some things, fought some people, wandered around, stayed away from the plot then the jump ended" kind of thing.

Since i picked up Universal Canon from Lone Wolf i can even justify the "stayed away from the plot" bit even if i know litte to nothing about a setting.
Which is mainly why i picked it up relatively early, along with Railroad Plot from Dungeon Siege 2.
If i don't like the setting/characters and the world doesn't end jumper-me goes to quite some lengths to avoid getting involved.

And if that means spending 10 years lazing around with my companions then i am willing to pay that price!

>>53911777

Time doesn't flow the same between the two worlds. There are at LEAST three groups who appeared in the New World before Momonga did, all at roughly 100-year intervals. We don't know what happened to them, or why they aren't still here.

>>53911888
No offense, but have you ever actually played an MMO? Because that's kind of a build that screams "it's for roleplaying".
Any of those roles (DPS, Tank, Healer) requires specialization at the high end. A jack of all trades character just sucks in PvE.

As for PvP, instant-death immunity is kind of the first thing people pick up if it's possible (it is in canon), which makes Necromancy a pretty lame specialization for that aspect of the game.

And his summons are at most a nuisance to actual Level 100 players or some minor extra dps against serious PvE content, but they're certainly not tanking anything level appropriate.

The reason that Momonga dominates in the NW is that he's ganking noobs.
The local legendary figures are mostly low-mid tier Realm of Heroes, which is like level 40-50 at most.

As for the whole "his guild members mention how strong he is", that's very likely just japanese politeness.
I still remember people telling me how good my japanese was when i was there, and i know for a fact that i sounded like a retarded toddler.

He was an active PVP player. We don't know how his Karma was. Seeing that depending on how you killed other players it might give you karma penalties, he probably had a negative karma.

But having negative karma doesn't affects your actions, just look at Ainz.

>Seraph Empyrean
Seraph Empyrean seems to be a monster/summon race. Just like Overlord Wiseman.

>>53912046
He was definitively a high-tier player, putting skills aside, and the necromancer build translates pretty well to the NW compared to others. Basically anything that has AoE and summons seems to be the best in the new world, because all of those are amplified due to having independent but loyal summons that you can control telepathically and AoE seemly having more destructive effects.

>>53911903
I don't think that was mentioned. He spent most of his time in the game, but everyone else seemed to be equally adicted to the internet and videogames. People took sick leaves to finish quests to get the materials for the staff, and several guildmembers also played other games while spending hundreds of hours in YGGDRASIL.

>>53912075
Considering that they were dropped on different points of time? Maybe he will just come back at some point. Or maybe the other world is frozen in time. Because he is a Jumper that has yet to meet his Benefactor.

>>53911781
Everyone spent tons of money in the game. Tabula once emptied all the paid-items to make NPCs of the entire guild and gladly paid the next batch of items for everyone by himself. Ulbert, Momonga and Birdman didn't spent money until they conquered the Tomb. Touch Me had been a p2w player since the beginning of the game, on the other hand.

>>53912127
Capes are cool. Not liking them makes you a pleb. What Edna said to Mr. Incredible would be fine for other heroes, but for someone with super-strength and super-durability it's not that much of a concern.

>>53912127
Capes. Edna could easily make reactive super-fibers that move the cape around to avoid them getting caught. She's just being fussy about it.

Greater Doppleganger and True Vampire are the only ones that seem to be stronger than canon (because True Vampire is an advanced class). The rest doesn't seem to come with any extra abilities. Although you could interpret it as starting with level 20 instead of level 1.

Also, we don't know if a normal Doppleganger can also copy classes, since the only canon level 1 Doppleganger only had a single alternate form and that was given by her creator (meaning that she wasn't going to lose it in favor of another form).

First there's always leakers. There's always gonna be someone who's gonna leak information. Second there's datamining. If there's not leakers, there's those who datamine for information. Third there's social media, livestraming is a huge thing now. I would imagine it would just get bigger. Twitter, FB, Instagram...etc.

>As for PvP, instant-death immunity is kind of the first thing people pick up if it's possible (it is in canon), which makes Necromancy a pretty lame specialization for that aspect of the game.
And The Purpose of All Life is Death doesn't really change that, since it's a really high-end skill, near or at the level cap, and it only works for twelve seconds every one hundred hours. Plus, it puts all your spells on delay, so a DPS-focused build could probably kill Momonga before the instant death spell actually kicks off. So Momonga would have been a complete waste in PVP for most of his time in the game, and then only became a moderately useful in the right circumstances PVP build.

But if we have the guy in canon saying his build was for RP and take into account japanese rules of politeness regarding the whole "his guild members said he's strong" in addition to basic logic - if one build could do it all there'd be no need for different specializations, it's against the basic principle of MMO design - i'll go with the "it's an RP build" interpretation.

You are wrong in one aspect: the game had economics and a huge ass map. That both encourages exploration and keeping secrets for yourself and your guild. Since things had also a real-money value attached to them, it reinforces that concept.

You're thinking of WoW and FFXIV terms. Think of E.V.E. or what Star Citizen aims to be instead.

>No offense, but have you ever actually played an MMO?
Yes, but YGGSIDRIL is not a 'MMO' at use in the way that it deals with magic and abilities. It clearly more of a large game of Epic D&D (because that's where the author gets his inspiration).

>A jack of all trades character just sucks in PvE.
Yet Momonga was assigned to the 'best' team to fight the hardest boss.

>As for PvP, instant-death immunity is kind of the first thing people pick up if it's possible (it is in canon)

There no such thing in canon. Only undead races have it. It could be resisted, but high-end spells come with other penalties even if you resist it. And some spells, like True Death, made resurrection impossible if you didn't had a cleric at hand to make use of a high-tier resurrection spell.

>And his summons are at most a nuisance to actual Level 100 players or some minor extra dps against serious PvE content, but they're certainly not tanking anything level appropriate.

Except they are actually useful. Any Death Knight can always tank two hits (regardless of how much damage they do) and it attracts aggro of anyone (both abilities are translated into real world, Death Knights just force you to hit them).

And other NPCs come with useful auras or abilities. Summoner was definitively a viable job.

>As for the whole "his guild members mention how strong he is", that's very likely just japanese politeness.

He was in the 'strongest' group and they handled pretty well the hardest boss in the first try.

>>53912908
Well multiple reasons for it, first the game was heavily against nonhumam races. You got buffs for killing non human players. You could also buy items to get around pretty much any thing that was thrown at you, by the end of the game it was completely pay to win.

>>53912966
Are you defending the poor game design with more poor game design? Christ, no wonder this game went under.

>>53912908
Made even more hilarious by the fact that you can only have one character at a time.

>>53913000
It wasn't an MMO in the way we know them, it is more like a Massively Multiplayer game of VR D&D.

>>53913000
I mean the opening of the LN is them shutting down the server and all the members of a once big guild having quit. Yggasdril was a fucking disaster in it's later years apparently.

>>53912906
How can you choose? All shades of red must be shown the love they deserve!

>>53912908
For all we know, it seemed to encourage cooperation rather than solo-adventuring. Seeing that there was a guild-based economy and that guild wars and invasions were a constant thing as they hold territories and controlled important resources for the rest of the players, going alone would probably not accomplish much.

It seemed to be unbalanced as fuck, but the whole guild customization system and it's economy seem to be fun enough for the game to last 12 years. There was also the fact that even with a good build you required to be actually good to get to high-places, specially if playing warriors or ninjas.

>>53913000
It lasted for so long in spite of the poor game design really, it was basically epic dnd in a vr world. The reason it made as much as it did was because the real world is a toxic level polluted shithole, you had to have fake lungs to survive in it and you had to pay subscriber fees to keep people from hacking your brain with nanobots, literally, and stealing all your info. Not to mention no labor laws anymore as slime guy was literally being worked to death.

>>53913049
From what I remember, most of them quit because of irl responsibilities. The game was actually really popular.

>>53913000
It's not that unbelievable.
I still remember Aion having mechanics that explicitly encouraged higher level players to gank PvE'ing lowies of the other faction (Rifts).

And perma-death was actually a thing in online Diablo 2 (hardcore league), and people still pvp'ed (and ganked) and generally played it.

There's a few other PvP MMOs out that, while not having perma-death, do have full looting. People play that too.
Hell, Ultima Online had full looting for a long time and it was rather successful.

>>53913049
>All WCI are probably known at that point
>Some of them can literally kill half of the player population or destroy an entire world
>P2W, large guilds and high-skill players made impossible for new-comers to enjoy the game unless they were masochists or joined a preexisting guild

But I should also mention that something similar happens with all PvP asian MMOs. You either enter when it opens or you will never be able to do anything relevant on the game.

Strawberry Blond

Funny story, my whole life I answered blond but when I went through in-processing for the Army the lady said "Mmm, no, strawberry blond."

And thus I became strawberry blond.

It still does, it also has rifts from the light side that allows you to drop right into low level dark side towns, but no such way into low levep light side towns from the dark side.

>>53913043
It still has to be fun to play. And what you're telling me sounds far too aggravating.

>>53913064
That doesn't sound plausible at all. These features would make playing so frustrating that I can't see how anyone would play it unless they had no other choice for entertainment.

>>53913068
Oh, they don't have any other choice. So it's a cyberpunk dystopia and people have been conditioned to expect things to suck. Even in their escapism. Wow, that's actually pretty sad.

Yeah basically.

>>53913131
Aion is still running? And still with those fucking rifts?
I bought it when it came out and i still remember how much it sucked to have some asshole Elyos come in and murder everyone in the zone.

I even powered through that shit (mostly because of the people i played with), but after a few months i got tired of the endless grind and quit.

>>53913143
Yep. Thats my jumper. My build is almost exclusively based on enchanting, necromancy, and bartending. All of which I have tied together.

>>53913170
So if it's cyberpunk, is there a plot thread where it's hinted that this might all be in Momonga's head? Not as a hallucination, but through the neural link somehow downloading the server into his wetware, or something like that.

Except that it only looks like a shade of red if I go outside, or into really well lit buildings. Neither of which are things I do very often. I have a cousin that lightens her hair just so that it's more apparent that she has red hair. When we were kids though our hair was bright orange or copper, so it's weird for both of us to be with a darker shade now that we're adults.

I've never actually lightened my hair, and honestly I don't take as good of care of it as I should anyway. As for darkening hair shade sure, but from lose a shiny new penny in it to having been mistaken for black hair is a bit much, and it's more that it feels weird than that it is weird.
