Re: [アスガル騎士団|RPG]ROBFS4U
Long time lurker, first time poster here~
Ok, it took me a bit but thanks to chiitrans I cleared the "prologue" where you play as the hired mercenary. Don't know too much about his little plot, other then you were hired to destroy some device made by the company/alchemist woman. turns out it's the wrong device, and was a trap. Mercenary dude assumedly dies and the woman sacrifices herself to teleport herself (and the alchemist's new experiment, you know who he is) to Komodo before she dies as well.
Going by standard RO lore, the company in question would certainly be Rekenber Corp., a very powerful and quite frankly evil presence in the game world (Basically all quest lines involving them also involve a lot of dead people). The machine might be the 'Unethical Machine' on the 2nd floor of the biolab dungeon, though since I don't have S3U, I'd rather not say that it is for certain.
I must say though, that mercenary skills kinda sucked, nearly died from every single encounter.
RO-mechanics wise it'd make sense to (nearly) lose every encounter in the area, the mobs in the biolabs are some of the most difficult around, particularly if you don't know how to handle them (meanwhile it's still amusing to me to off the sniper solo with a first class character)
Honestly still not entirely sure what the bios monsters are supposed to be. I've heard they're supposed to be angry spirits of those experimented on, but also heard a theory that they're bioweapon prototypes or something. They're definitely much, much stronger than any player of the same class would be at their level, though.
Is there new enemies in S3U though? cuz if there is, then I'l need to make a pact with hte devil to get it XD
As mentioned by Resaiyu12 in edit, there's a few new monsters; I'd assume the one screenshot from the creator's blog earlier was showing off one of them (from RO proper, it'd be this one: hxxp://ratemyserver .net/index.php?page=mob_db&mob_id=2223 - sorry for splitting that up, but again, new poster on these forums) figuring out the kanji in the attack (生命力変換) it's pretty obvious that's the skill Health Conversion, native to the professor class... though normally that'd be a support skill to convert your own HP to SP, it looks like it's definitely used in an offensive sense there.
I'm a bit curious what the other biolabs foes in S3U are, but haven't seen anything despite my searching around
...
Anyway, there was a blog update about EOY, which shows off an Explosion's fellatio type attack animation with a bit of a written comparison to animations from S4U - basically more going on in the newer stuff. Sounds like progress is going well; he's working on events for adding people to the harem room (as it were) and one of those sounds to be a hint NPC where you need a particular thing to get her to join up (like the boss character in the Louyang dungeon in S4U). The last bit indicates no plans to make jail/or not branching like with the merchant/wizard/hunter characters in S4U, if I'm reading that right...
