Etrian Odyssey: Chronicles-- Planning

[zamisk]

note: re-posting because I changed his image/age

This shouldn't affect anybody, as he's not that much older, and nobody's described him. I use this portrait as my avatar 90% of the time here on ItL, and I think it's better if you can see that picture on every post.

Name: Malachi James
Age: 20
Sex: M
Class: Dark Hunter, sword route
Appearance:


Backstory: MJ joined the guild ItL to journey into the labyrinth to better learn to fight. His grandfather was a master swordsman, and Malachi wanted to follow in his footsteps. His father, whom he lives with on the outskirts of Etria, is a farmer who hates violence. Malachi knows how to harvest from "take" points because of his upbrining on a farm, as well as he is able to determine which plants are safe for use or consumption in the forest.

Irony of it being a War Magus portrait too... XD Anyways, sorry for not posting in awhile. I hit a bit of depression--I won't go into detail. Anyways...

Off to make a reply.

I'm moving the conversation of possibly reviving this over here so that we don't fill up the actual game thread.

Drathi, if we do revive this, what should we change? Maybe instead of starting at the labyrinth, we could start the game at say, the guild hall, and our characters could mingle and such before heading off, somewhat like das totenlied, except we don't leave in bits and snippets, forming our own mini-partys.

[Drathi]

Basically, we'd be given quests for each floor and parties will be formed for each quest. Those who feel like mingling can stay in Etria. But yes, I suppose we could just go straight through without stopping, if that is what you are proposing.

For bosses, we might have special ways of handling them. Fenrir, for example will have a party fighting Fenrir, while others handle the Skolls.

[Curry-Kohai]

Not quite what I had in mind, it seems like the old RP system, which I think looks awful. I think our current system is good though. I was just suggesting that perhaps we don't just get thrown into the labyrinth at the very beginning, but instead get a bit of time to "prepare"

[Skele Von Mann]

So complete reboot?

[Drathi]

Complete reboot.

Though, I do think it'd be better if we all were under the same guild, though. It's just that we're different divisions of it.

[Curry-Kohai]

I have the feeling that it'll get confusing quickly. Besides, isn't it a really bad idea to head into the labyrinth with less than five people unless your a higher level?

[Skele Von Mann]

Real men solo at the start as a Hexer.

[Drathi]

[Skele Von Mann]

I can play multiple characters, not like one has to go with just one.

[Drathi]

The question comes to how well people can handle multiple characters. xD

I don't think a reboot will be possible until this summer, though. I'm swamped right now.

[Skele Von Mann]

Oh it's not that hard.

[Drathi]

Same here. Though, with how school is, I can hardly post as much as I'd like.
