VERSALIA'S PROFILE

Ahhhhhh wall of numbers. This is really difficult to look at, especially on top of a super-busy background image.

I feel like this article just repeats basic concepts from multiple other articles.

http://rpgmaker.net/articles/293/ A much more detailed list of battle roles, not only applicable to enemies but heroes as well;
http://rpgmaker.net/articles/4/ Brickroad's vastly more detailed study of the same topic;
http://rpgmaker.net/articles/27/ Kentona's study of the same topic;
http://rpgmaker.net/articles/177/ Craze's article on unique skillsets

etc

Those are all valid points but if it is such a huge waste of time and everybody else is doing it wrong and making you look bad, why are you even here? Why don't you write an intelligent article about point #2 that will be featured and display the "proper" attitude toward game design more prominently, instead of popping into peoples' topics to tell them how pointless they are? A staff member recently enlightened me that just because someone else's design philosophy or tactic is different or inferior to yours does not mean you need to go out of your way to shit on it. If the topic is so pointless and such a bad reflection on the RM Community then you should gloss over it as it is so obviously beneath you and not fruitful to participate in. Belittling other people in your community does not help it look better, either.

I agree, it's the same topic every time and it is stupid and just do some Google-fu already. But I didn't feel the need to stop by just to say that because it would just be shitting on someone else needlessly. posting in pointless topics to inform people that they are pointless is pointless, tonight at 11


Now everybody read Strangeluv's post and absorb the wisdom within it, then go on to peaceably ignore threads you disapprove of while using said wisdom to mak galmes.

Who cares

Just make games

seriously fuck all these designers actually deciding on the important difference in qualities and cuts of silk vs. satin vs. cotton vs. polyester vs. wool that will define their production process and massively impact the finished product

just grab a barrel and some suspenders and you're gold

or something

Hm, how about a boss that has a few minions that 'share' the damage. Basically they take the brunt of the damage (if two then about 40% each and the boss takes 20% of the damage) but the boss keeps healing them - say about the same amounts as its damaged. So if in one round you take off about 200 damage, that means each minion gets hit for 80 each whilst the boss takes 40 damage. It then heals the minions for 40 each turn.
When one minion dies the boss and other minion take 50% of the damage each, the boss would heal more to their last minion but take more damage as well. And if the minions have a small heal spell themselves, but limited magic stores, or deal blind and stun attacks (not paralysis because that's just cheap) to stop the damage...

Then when it's the boss by itself it casts auto-regen, and starts to lay out the hurt.

I'm so making this.

this is in edifice (celebrina and her two flames)

in fact, everybody play edifice just for the bosses. Someone above mentioned enchantment-stealing and that is another boss' major special attack etc
