[Stable] Thread to Discuss the Death Game Part 119 [Has it arrived?]

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Don’t you think skill levels aren’t increasing at all?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Ah, I get it

They’re not increasing at all after level 5

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

From what I heard from NPCs:

Level 1: Beginner at that skill

Level 5: Proficient

Level 10: Master level

Apparently, it gets harder to level up after 5

And when you reach 10, it evolves into an intermediate skill or something

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

That just means it goes back to level 1, right?

No thanks

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Well, you’re a beginner at that skill

Can’t be helped

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Wait a minute

You raise it to level 10 and it’s just intermediate?

Shouldn’t it be advanced?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Huh? What?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

It’s intermediate, you know

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

That means there’s something above that…

We have to raise the level by 10 more?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

That’s impossible, isn’t it?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I think skill experience probably varies based on the situation and frequency of use

So if you keep fighting in areas where monsters are getting stronger, the experience should naturally increase and make it easier to level up, right?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

You’re saying we should progress in our adventure?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Yes, I do

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

It’s already tough at this stage though

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Let me give some good info to those struggling with combat

Try getting the Guts skill

With that, you can endure even when it hurts

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

!?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Sounds fishy

Is that true?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

At least I was able to endure

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

*Results may vary

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Speaking of which, shouldn’t more useful skill information be circulating by now? We’re not seeing any of it

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Most skills are pretty useful in their own way

It’s hard to tell which ones are overpowered

 

 

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Some people claim certain skills are overpowered, but when you actually get them, they turn out to be ordinary

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

It also depends on your status build to some extent

It’s unavoidable that the same effect won’t work for everyone

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Can’t we do something about the random status allocation?

I’m about to cry because everything’s going into Luck

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Your drop rate and crit rate will increase

Yay

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I want a status that does reliable work, not based on probability!

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

If your Luck increased, you should get skills that involve luck

I think there was a skill that could instantly kill opponents based on probability

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Wasn’t the SP cost for that really high?

It needed like 8 SP, right?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Good things come at a price

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

You guys, I might actually believe you

I might actually get it

Are you sure about this?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Don’t do it, don’t do it lol

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Don’t take these guys seriously lol

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Speaking of skill research, what’s the verification team doing?

They should have that kind of information, right?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

For information, shouldn’t we ask the information brokers?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Seems the verification team is too scared of the life-threatening game to do any high-confidence verifications

 

As for the information brokers:

– People aren’t progressing in the game in the first place

– They’re hiding information (because it might put them at a disadvantage)

– Sometimes the information they get can’t be reproduced

 

So their business isn’t doing well

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Sounds tough~ (not my problem)

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I feel like SUCCEED might have more of that strategy guide type of information

The verification team should try to get their cooperation

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

There’s almost no benefit for the SUCCEED side

Plus, they probably don’t want to easily give out information that’s advantageous for strategy

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

It would be nice if everyone could work together to figure out the game

I mean, it is a death game after all…

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Professionals probably have their professional pride, you know?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Even in the real world, countries can’t cooperate when the Earth’s environment is in danger

We just have to accept that’s how humans are

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Humans are so foolish

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

You too, you know

[Celebration] Monster Side Production Class General Thread Part 12 [Evil Grande Commerce Guild Suspension Lifted]

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I finally became a production class…

When I heard new registrations were suspended in Evil Grande, I almost despaired

I’m glad they somehow resumed new registrations in Evil Grande

So from today, I’m a production class too

Nice to meet you all

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Nice to meet you

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Nice to meet you~

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

(≧▽≦)ノ

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

But isn’t the receptionist at Evil Grande too beautiful?

And it’s a bit hard to know where to look…

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

They bounce, don’t they

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

They’re huge (literally)

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Hey boys~ (in a gruff voice)

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Yikes

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Eek!

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I-I wasn’t staring!

Just glancing! Only glancing!

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

They probably notice that kind of thing, you know

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Really?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I wonder if it lowers their affection…

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

The Evil Grande group seems to be having fun…

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Hm?

Is it not the same for the Forzine group?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

We can’t finish the key quests because of those price-gouging bastards doing whatever they want

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

What do you mean?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

There’s this rare material you can only get once a day, but some adventurers are monopolizing it

They’re selling it on the World Market like scalpers

And they’re asking for outrageous prices

So we can never finish the key quests

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

And we need multiple of these rare materials, so it’s costing a fortune

There’s even fighting among production classes over these rare materials, so the Commerce Guild in Forzine is really tense

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Well, even if you clear that key quest, there are still plenty more key quests

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

More like, the management is shit

Why make an item that’s needed multiple times only respawn once a day?

Isn’t that a bug?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

And if someone gets it, you have to wait until the next day for it to respawn

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Ah, so that’s what you mean

I thought if you could get one per person per day, you could just go get it yourself

But once someone gets it, no one else can get it anymore

…That is shitty, isn’t it?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

And adventurers are monopolizing that spot

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Can’t you just drive those adventurers out?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

We’re production classes, you know

We don’t want to lose and turn into polygons

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Also, they’re not constantly there when they monopolize

They come around when it’s about to respawn and intimidate everyone to keep them away

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Is it that bad?

Can’t you even talk to them?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

They probably know they’re doing something wrong

So they refuse to talk

They immediately resort to violence

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Can’t you beat them up?

Or get help from the guild?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

These are guys who managed to reach Forzine

Their playing skills are pretty high

Not opponents that pure production classes can handle

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

The guild says there’s no problem as long as they’re just taking materials

They probably won’t do anything unless there’s a problem like materials not respawning

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Why don’t we hire adventurers too?

Fight violence with violence

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Adventurers don’t like fighting opponents that aren’t monsters

Especially if there’s a possibility of it becoming a murder case

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

This isn’t going well at all

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

There are many other quests to do besides that one

Let’s focus on those first

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

But only about a third of the quests that can be cleared in Forzine are C-rank

Another third is in the next city and beyond

The last third is in human nations

It feels like the difficulty to become B-rank is way too high

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

The next cities are one thing, but isn’t the human nation side much harder?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

The production classes on the human side probably have similar quests

So we’ll have to use the World Market to trade

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Or go directly to the human nations

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I’m a giant spider monster, will they even accept me in the human nations? Is it safe?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

No way

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Give up

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

If I were human, I’d attack you on sight

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I know, right?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

If we could at least get to know human-side players somehow, we could trade through the World Market using friend chat

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Hm?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Oh?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Something just arrived

Notice of a World Event…?

What!? A World Event!?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Lucky you

Now you have a chance to get to know human players

[World Event] LIA Chat Thread Part 334 [Is that so…?]

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

What’s going on?

Isn’t this game cut off from the outside?

Isn’t it strange to have updates?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

It’s not an update, it was probably programmed in from the start

Someone triggered a flag to activate it

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Just got here

What’s a World Event?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Seems to be a martial arts tournament where both humans and monsters can participate

Participants get a revival drug as a participation prize

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Revival drug!

For real! We gotta join!

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

You need to have reached Area 2 to register though

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Wait, isn’t that tough?

The people in Area 1 probably want the revival drug more

 

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I think there’d be more demand from members in Area 2 and beyond where the difficulty increases…

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

There are quite a few production classes now

Can’t they make revival drugs?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Apparently they haven’t reached that rank yet

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Useless

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Here’s a mirror (hands it over)

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

What’s that supposed to mean!

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

More importantly, what about the rules for this Grand Martial Festival thing?

Why do we have to form tags?

Our party has an odd number of people, so we’re arguing about it

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

It’s probably to let rear guard classes participate too

One-on-one would give front line classes too much of an advantage

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I see

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Also, it says powerful NPCs will participate too, but how strong are they?

Top player level?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

We have no idea about that

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

On the human side, the A-rank adventurer NPCs Nabal and Hassan will probably form a pair

I heard them talking about it at the guild the other day

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

A-rank? Not B-rank?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

That’s right

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I meet B-ranks quite often, but I’ve never met an A-rank

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Even B-ranks are pretty strong

Considering that, are A-ranks like jokers?

Like you lose if you face them?

 

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Who knows?

We won’t know until we try, right?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

It’d be a letdown if NPCs took the championship

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Then you should work hard and win it yourself

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I-I’m rooting for Axel-san to win!

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I wonder if the famous players have already started deciding who to pair up with

By the way, who do you think will win?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

It’s gotta be Axel-san!

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

It’s obviously going to be Lady Kurohime!

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Isn’t it tough for Kurohime?

A saint wouldn’t have any means of attack in the Grand Martial Festival, right?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I feel like Mitarai from SUCCEED might win somehow

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

It’s all humans

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

What about Sara, the Dual Sword Princess, on the monster side?

But the Grand Martial Festival is during the day, right?

Vampires get debuffed then

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Speaking of which, are there even any famous monster-side players who can form tags?

They’re all solo fighters, aren’t they?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

(*´ω`*) and the others will probably form a tag and enter

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

I’ve been wondering, how do you read that emoticon?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Apparently it’s “Tele”

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Huh, first time I’ve been interested in something from this thread

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Why isn’t Yamamoto, the EOD Killer, being mentioned!?

He should be the top candidate to win!

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Because his very existence hasn’t been confirmed

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

EOD itself hasn’t been confirmed either

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Does Yamamoto even really exist?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Maybe that’ll be revealed in this event too?

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

By the way, the event is in one month

The registration period is open until right before the event starts!

If you’re motivated, just get to the second area!

We’ll talk after that!

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

That’s quite a gap

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

It means we should get fully prepared by then

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

We might see the top players’ post-job change appearances for the first time

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

Oh, that’s true!

Wow, I’m getting excited!

 

[Death Game Anonymous]

There’s still a whole month to go

If you get excited now, you won’t last lol
