Well, it's also annoying when one monster is attacking three different people at once. I've seen it happen. Certain things should be synched, like what monstaer is attacking who, and who has S/D and who does not. I'm more annoyed by the S/D issue because people yell at me when theirs runs out and then die when doing so. It would require some fairly major tweaks to the way S/D works, of course, but in Ult, deband is the most important thing that keeps people alive.

Also, if you could only renew S/D at any time, that would be helpful. That would theoretically require the most minor tweak in videogame history, replacing a > with a >=. Heh, of course I know it's not quite that simple, and sometimes, like when a new person enters, giving them S/D WILL give it to everyone. But I can't renew it halfway through and expect everyone to have it for another full length of time. I've renewed S/D for one guy, only to have someone else tell me they now need it, and when I renew it for them, mine wears off just a little bit later; no PB S/D involved. Haven't noticed it quite as much lately though. I've attributed that to cleaning up my computer's registry making it run faster, not anything SEGA did.

There's probably lots of tweaks they can make to this game to make it better, but i assume opening the debug is a bit out of their scope...

Here we go again with the "unfixable" thing. Each computer can simply report when S/D has run out. This would bypass whatever glitch in synch there is. It's quite simple, really. I understand it's a predominantly client-side game, but S/D is extremely important. I have more people die when my deband wears off in the Desert than anywhere else. Of course, this doesn't affect me any, since I have the level 30 deband, but it irks me that people have to die because I can't renew it the instant it wears off.

It also irks me that people blame the force when they can't handle desert without S/D...

Exactly how I feel! FO's are excellent SUPPORT characters. But that doesnt make them the pseudo mommy for the party. Anyone blaming the FO when they die, prolly needs to hotkey some better tools, like Dimates and Trimates, or Telepipes. (I say say telepipes over ryuker because its instant and will save yur azz if you get surrounded). You might say piping out of the battle is cowardly but dont misunderstand me. Pipe right back down. Pipe to stay alive is much better than someone having to run by you and Reverser, or M.Atomizer you. People need to take responsibility for their own Character. If they die from a brief moment without FO's support, maybe they need to do a few more LHS before headin back down to Sub Desert.

I understand all the problems that go in tweaking the "little things" too, which is why I don't complain about them. But when someone'd deband wears off, and they go to ask me to refresh, and they get mobbed and die instantly and lose 100K, it's not a "little thing" to them.

Lot's of people in the chat seem to think you can refresh it at any time, but there was once a time when I'd refresh it in every room, and it still went away like clockwork from the first time I'd casted. Maybe they changed it and I haven't tried it again. I guess I'll re-test that.

No ur right I've made some test, and like if u cast SD 30 on all the party in the first room then in the second u re-cast, all the party member execpt u will still have the first SD u cast and not the 2nd. Apparently u can only refresh your own SD, it wont refresh on others people SD.

Plus on funny note, it's funny to see that the MST is missing in V101 description, and there is a lot of typo mistake which people submit but ST never correct.

so thats why i see people hitting air sometimes..?

That problem also occurs to me. So that can be fixed as well by fine-tuning/upgrading my comp?

[Starfurre]

with some tweaking of your video card you can get it pretty high.

Great update once again. Glad to know Reach for the Dream is finally fixed. Typing and killing are two of my favorite activities... Doing them simultaneously only enhances the experience (which I like too).

Two at the same time eh? I like your style

Personally i think reach for the dream was kinda gaey, most of the time people in game are saying "S/D force", "pipe", "moon", or in-battle banter about whatever.
