[RPG] Defiance's Open RPG -Sword of Truth-

[MagnaGuard]

Tested it.

Likes
> Terrain is very fun to use and move around with
> Mercenary system is indeed good
> Quest system works well
> Big enough area for multiple players, no crammed space so far
Dislikes
> The color merges, like changing green to blue over the word
> Single player isn't really fun (But it's an ORPG so...)
> Spamming "System . . . " , etc

I noticed some quirks about the AI for the mercenaries.

Pros: Follow you, and use spells efficiently.

Cons: Move at a constant offset from where you click, stop attacking what monster they are and attack the monster you do, and keep moving irregardless of hero position.

006 is Complete, here are the notes! Enjoy~

Version 006 Updates *COMPLETE*
----------------~NEW DUNGEON: GNOLL TOWER~----------------
~Offers 10 new bosses to face, one of the spawned bosses in the dungeon is a trigger which can spawn up to 4 different bosses depending on how you solve the dungeons puzzles. Each of these bosses have different rare loot so you will want to learn how to spawn a different one.
~Last Boss fight is heavily scripted and a fun fight
~Dungeon difficulty is not that easy, be prepared for a tough time, you will need to have levels and be well equip.
~The Dungeon has a method on how it is progressed through, you will not be able to take each teleporter without having to do something first.

Which means... Yes you will receive DP once again for completing dungeons~

[Renendaru]

Oh Defiance I noticed something. If you unequip an item in the loot room it counts as picking an item up. I saw this and it kind of annoyed me.

It warns you when entering the loot room not to do this , but I will add more failsafe features in the future, right now some things may seem a little rough.

I'm a huge fan of your first map, could stay up from dusk to dawn to play that with friends

When it comes to your new one, I was surprised. If I remember right, you had another project, under a similar title, that was a huge disappointment. But this... Oh yes! This is good shit mate

The new item system is great, the dungeons are exiting and fun. And please! Make as much heroes as you can, I love when there are lots of heroes to choose from. Not just 5 as someone before me stated.

Either way, keep this up

[Renendaru]

I found a weird bug with Crusader's charge. If it's used past someone it can one-shot them. I once accidentally one-shot a boss in the gnoll tower dungeon.

I plan to have at least 24-32 heroes when i'm done... It all depends, I may have but only 24 starting heroes, once you hit level 30 i was debating if I should allow classes to hit a second phase where their sprint spell turns into a spell book and I add 4 more spells to the class, then maybe at 60 another 4 spells so each class has 12 spells each at end game... we'll see~

Still the main focus is adding content which v007 will be doing~

Bug? Sounds kinda fun, but I think know the reason of this boss dieing which i'm going to fix in a second~

[ElderKingpin]

hmm after all this time, i thought defience was dead? you kind of left the original ORPG at .16D, which got hacked. many times

Version 007 Updates *COMPLETE*
~~~~~~~~~NEW SYSTEM --- "EQUIPPABLE SPELLBOOKS!"
Miss the old DORPG characters that had so many spells to choose from and were stat based // had to be a certain level to get? Well the idea is back in DORPG: Sword of Truth as Spell Books that are equipped by your Hero! What I mean by equip is really scribe, you will use the Spell Book in your inventory and all the spells of that book will be usable by your Hero, it will acutally be apart of your Hero and hotkeyed with Z, making it very convienent to switch between your Spell Book spells and Heroes regular spells. Low level spell books will only have 6 spells to use while the max level spell books will have 10 spells you can use, this of course means the higher level heroes will have access to the more powerful spells since high level spell books will not be usable by low levels, you must meet the level requirements. This means at end game your Hero is going to have 15 abilities to choose from! But not only that since these spell books are
equipped you are able to "Unequip" them! You may use the "Unlearn Spell Book" ability within your spell book to forget those spells and use another spell book of your choice! The spells will sometimes be stat related, so like in vanilla DORPG your heroes attributes will effect your spell damage. This will give YOU! The player tons of variety to choose from in character design. This system has totally changed the flow of the game and if you really miss the old DORPG experience and believed Sword of Truth wasn't giving it to you, well now it will, spell books are back!!!

Yay, my comp messed up on me for awhile. Internet wasn't working, had to get it fixed. (Was playing on my laptop)

It's good news that a new version is out, but didn't you originally say 1~2 days? No complaints on this end however.
