Unlimited World - 90% of the battle for productive jobs is ready
262. Skill adjustment confirmation
Early September saw the end of the summer holiday season and began to regain calm within Unlimited World.
Not long after September began, it suddenly became an update.
When it comes to updates, skill adjustment is the main thing, not a massive fix.
From the data accumulated at the summer holiday events that were taking place until recently, it appears that adjustments have been made to the various skills.
Adjustments mainly focused on skills enhancement, but there was only one thing that bothered me.
[Formula Divine Invitational/Twelve Heavenly Generals] was the subject of a major modification.
Among the modifications are the triplicate that said "Adjusting Consumption MP/ST", "Adjusting Skill Effects" and "Adjusting Skill Range".
I only used it in defense battles during the event, but apparently it was subject to modification due to sniping.
Most importantly, as far as pre-published skill modifications are concerned, they were quite available, including consumption and effects, rather than simple weakening.
"So it's a skill test party? It's hard to say one acquirer, Twa."
"Not at all. Personally, I wanted to review the modifications to the production skills added in this update."
"Don't you think you can always do that over there? Plus, you need new materials. It's not that easy to check."
"Ugh, Rick.... Well, I wasn't going to go hunting somewhere proper because it wouldn't start without the material"
"Then there's no problem here either. Come on, it looks like the professors are ready, and we're gonna meet up."
"Oh, right.... I don't really feel comfortable with it."
"You're the only player who can see the fix, so give it up. Here we go."
On Friday after the application of the update, he received a substantial call from the verification system clan headed by the professor saying that he would confirm the skill modification details of [Formula Divine Invitation/Twelve Heavenly Generals] and that he would verify the contents….
I'm sure I'll have to check on fixing the effects, but I don't think I need to rush into anything today.
He only remembers himself, even though he doesn't feel comfortable, and he can't even remember platinum skills tickets, so the current situation is essentially because of my dedicated skills.
Then I need to show my face directly to verify...
I mean, it's annoying.
By the way, Rick is accompanying us now, but Yuki seems to be coming later.
Then my sister, Mr. White Wolf, etc. are going to show their faces to the test shoot.
I've been busy for the past few days and haven't seen it, but they explained how to acquire "Yin Yang" based skills, including [Formal Divine Invitation/Twelve Heavenly Generals], during the official broadcast about the update.
Among them, [Formula Divine Invitational/Twelve Heavenly Generals] also only mentioned the first part of the acquisition procedure, and a large number of players, beginning with major battle-based clans, began to move toward acquiring skills.
However, many players want to know what happened as a result of skill adjustments, even though the event was fierce, and the intelligence clan has asked me for this test run.
The place for the test shoot was a place that ran west of Wang Du for a while.
Halfway between hunting grounds and strength, a place was chosen where few people were hunting.
Even though skill adjustments have been included, [Formula Divine Invitational/Twelve Heavenly Generals] also includes skills for vs. Reid.
If you use it poorly in a hunting ground with people, you can even get caught up in someone else's prey.
So where people don't lean on hunting grounds was chosen.
"Um, you're on time. It's a pleasure to meet you today."
"I don't really feel like it, but here we are, professor. So, what do I do?"
"Um, I'd like to get a brief description of the effects of my skills first.... Oh, not everything, Twa. The range of skills you use is enough."
"Explain the skill effect. Well, I don't mind... it's a lot of people."
There were quite a few players at the test shooting place.
Originally, we talked about just the validation clan, but they released the time and place when they talked about wanting to see other players too... but not a lot?
"As soon as the validation results can be summarized, we are going to publish them on the bulletin board. Again, there are many players who want to see it live."
"Well, I don't mind. So, should I shoot Skill in the sky? Depending on the skill content, there are things that cannot be activated without a target."
"You don't have to worry there. The tank we prepared will bring the monster."
"Oh well. So, are you all right getting ready over there?
"If there is a signal of initiation, we should be able to bring the first target. First of all, I want you to explain the effects of Snakes."
"Copy that. I'll check your skills."
I choose the item of Tensei from the list of [Formula Divine Invitational - Twelve Heavenly Generals].
... That's a huge change in skill content.
"... Hmm, I heard you were adjusting your skills, but so much more"
"Is something wrong?
"Hmm, you're pretty much a separate skill when it comes to snakes"
"Well, that's it"
"So much so. I'll explain the effects."
Before skill adjustment, it reads: 'Range attack against a range of 30 x 30 meters, mainly at any point. Deal Damage by Divine and Fire Attributes'.
But now after the modification, it's "a fan-shaped, effect range of 170 degrees forward with the user as the starting point. A 40-metre range attack. Deal Damage by Divine and Fire Attributes'.
Looks like it hasn't changed where continuous damage goes in as an added effect.
Later...
"Skill consumption has changed from MP400/ST50 to MP400/ST200"
"Hmm, the range of effects is widening, but has it changed from an arbitrary point to an operator's starting point? Besides, there's been a significant increase in ST consumption."
"... this must be pretty tough for a magician with a low stamina"
"That's right. Well, if you're a surgeon trying to handle this level of skill, I think you can twist about 200 ST as well. … It looks like the target monster has just pulled off, and I want you to use your skills first."
"Roger.... yeah, you're in the range of effects. Tell the tank people to leave."
"I see.... I'm done telling you. If you wait a little, you'll leave."
As per the professor's line, the tank (player) that brought the monster this far stunned the monster before leaving.
I don't have FF (Friendly Fire), so it would be fine to say that I don't have a problem if I used it together... I can afford it, so there's no point in getting involved in it for nothing.
"Well, then let's go. Teng Snake, activate!
When I activated my skills, the ground in front of me glowed red at once.
And perhaps the entire range of effects glowed red, while the flame rose a few meters high, burning down the entire range of effects.
The flames only burned up to a height of about a meter in the Tender Snake before skill adjustment, and if they were able to attack up to this flame height, I wonder if they were able to attack to some extent against the sky.
Even the audience seemed to be able to take it to the extent that the twitching occurred.
The flames of the Teng Snake went out in seconds, but the attacked monster... apparently fell unbearable.
Looks like a drop item went into my inventory.
"... that seems a lot different from the performance. And it seems to be gaining in power."
"Really? You've defeated a monster with one blow, and that's all you can tell?
"The monster you brought in now is a Level 55 monster. Perhaps in the Tender Snake before skill adjustment, you can defeat it as long as it's in there to continue damage, but you don't think you can defeat it with just the first damage. I regret not being able to confirm the actual damage value."
"Well, that's the specification of this game, so I can't help it. So, are we done with the effect of the Teng Snake?
"Um, enough is enough. More than that, I guess there's no reason for you to show me the same skills over and over again than you want me to show you other skills?
"Right. The cool-time of a skill is shared across all skills and remains 300 seconds."
"For this reason, the disclosure of the Teng Snake is above. Next... I wonder if it's around the peacock with the skills I've used"
"Right.... Skills have changed quite a bit."
Peacock's changes, but first the range of effects has changed from 'enemy alone' to 'minimal range centered on enemy unity'.
I think it's pretty much the same as a stand-alone attack because it's a very small range, but if there's another enemy right next to the target, it seems we can get involved.
Then the consumption has also changed to MP400 and ST250.
Is this what it feels like to have enhanced the skill effect instead of increasing the cost of consumption?
"Hmm, is it now possible to get involved at close range?... Oh, just came a new monster. Is recast time okay?
"Mm, just now it's available. Then ask me to leave again."
"I see.... Well, you're ready."
"Then, next. Peacock, go!
At the same time as the peacock is activated, a bird of fire appears in front of him and rises above him.
Then, the target is targeted for a sharp descent attack and a blast flame is rolled up around the target.
Before the fix, I was attacking to envelop only the target, so I guess that blast flame is in the range of effects.
... Oh, of course I'm taking down the target.
I couldn't stand a range-attacking snake, but I can't stand a basic stand-alone attacking peacock.
"Hmm, I'm also convinced that if that explosion is in the effect range, it's in the very small range. Indeed, it is difficult to involve more than one enemy in that."
"Right. Basically, you should think of it as a stand-alone attack."
"It is. Now, that's another skill test."
"Okay. That said, we can't compare them because we don't know the effects before the fix except for Tengsha and Peacock."
"That's what we can't do. Now, which skills are you going to use next?
"Hmm, STR and VIT reference skills won't have a decent attack power, so why don't you try around the DEX reference white tiger first?"
"... Isn't that more aggressive than a peacock?
"I don't know. I think it's weaker than the peacock in the INT and MND references because of the DEX and AGI references... but I also think this is a basic stand-alone attack system, so I can take it down in one shot."
"Hmm, the comparison of offensive power gives up today. Twa, your status is pretty skewed."
"Don't ask production jobs to average their status.... Well, it looks like we're ready for the other side, and we're on our way."
"Um, I see."
At this rate, he was to try and shoot all the men for twelve days.
Most importantly, the damage inflicted by Xuanbu and Aoyagi based on STR and VIT was quite soggy, and the power difference between skills was otherwise severe.
Well, I guess it was nice to get a rough idea of the skill effects myself with this trial shot.
It was dissolved on the spot after all 12 shows were completed.
They also asked me how I got it, but they didn't help me by saying, "I can't get to know the important NPC in the first place."
Apparently, the only acquisition procedure released on the official broadcast was to say, "I'll make certain achievements in the Yin and Yang dormitories in Japan," so additional information from me didn't help much either.
The feat in my case is, did you take Lord Seimei to Fairy Town?
I'll rendezvous with Yuki, who seems to have been on his way, and have a little talk with Hal, Mr. White Wolf, etc.
As for Mr. White Wolf, he still aims to acquire skills, and he decided to take key members to Japan at the next high-speed ship's time.
He's also interested as Hal, but he's having difficulty twisting the SP80 he needs to get, and for a while, he said he saw how things were going.
After all, the SP80 seems to be pretty painful in a state where I remember a variety of top skills in the battle-based mainstream.
As the audience returned in a splash, the professor who was supposed to summarize the results of the verification that we were also on a return journey called out.
"Twa, are you leaving already?
"As you can see, I'm on my way home. I can't help being here any longer."
"Is that so?... By the way, what are your plans after this?
"If it's true, I would have liked to go hunting a little, but time is subtle. Go home, produce it properly, and we're done."
"Well, then you have time."
"I do, but what's wrong?
"I'd like to ask you a few questions. After returning to the clan home, the details will be explained, so I want you to go home first."
"... if it's going to be too late, it's going to fall?
"I'm not going to make you wait that long. I'll be back in about 30 minutes, so if you can do the proper production, you'll be fine."
... Professors bring troubles when this happens.
Well, should I listen to you and then think of a response?
