Pecentage Increases/Decreases [Open Discussion]

So a lot of perks and spells dead with percentages. Can we have a standarized rule for what each rank's percentage is?

I suggest this:

D Rank - 10%
C Rank - 15%
B Rank - 20%
A Rank - 25%
S Rank - 30%
SS Rank - 40%
X Rank - 50%

Not only would this make things a lot more fair and balanced, but it would allow for apps to be graded on a scale and help out graders by setting standards for everything instead of trying to balance it by itself.

Seeing that the site will be using a tier system with stats, buffs and debuffs probably should be based on increasing or decreasing tier rank in particular stat. So here at lowest rank you can buff or debuff one stat up or down one rank At the highest rank (I'm stopping at SS) You can buff or debuff upto two stats one rank. This can be adjusted/modified to fit accordingly.

D-Rank: +/- 1 Rank for 2 Posts (1 Stat Only)
C-Rank: +/- 1 Rank for 3 Posts (1 Stat Only)
B-Rank: +/- 1 Rank for 5 Posts (1 Stat Only)
A-Rank: +/- 1 Rank for 3 Posts (2 Stat Only)
S-Rank: +/- 1 Rank for 5 Posts (2 Stat Only)
SS-Rank: +/- 1 Rank for 7 Posts (2 Stat Only)

These are basic rules as some peoples magic might someway conflict with it depending on their restrictions.

This is just something I came with as it is flexible for the supplementary mage. They can choose to have lower rank spells that last short, or higher rank spells that have a little longer duration on them.

moving to archives for later discussion.

MY original post edited
-Removed Tiers
-Dropped Max # stat buffs down to two

What Kyo made is fine although I think durations should go up a bit.

My reasoning is taht these would be combat posts. Most posts will consist of 30 seconds to a minute tops of IC time. Basically your saying an A-rank spell can only last 3 minutes tops.

I'd also open up for more variety. Fewer rank ups for longer durations etc. There are hundreds of things I'd want to do with boosts so I recommend not setting it to roughly but having something clear that says

"you want to boost this many ranks for this long? It has to be this rank". It functions but they're to small in my opinion.

I mean honestly IMOP I think buffs are up to player discretion that can be approved by staff, because lets say you have a mage that is basically a melee fighter who might choose to increase his strength and speed of course to me he would be able to sustain his buff longer versus a mage that is using a buff and also using his magic power for other spells. I'd think the melee fighter would be more conditioned, but I that could be a matter of opinion I guess. Or even a melee fighter boosting 1 stat, might last longer versus a melee fighter using a buff for 2 stats. We the staff could have a hidden range (from members) that we consider the type of character they have to determine if we accept the buff duration. I mean I'm all for someone even being able to boost all 4 stats at once as long as it was an acceptable duration.

this is kind of the grey line where I say.

If it doesn't ABSOLUTELY have to be done. don't do it. Everyones only here to have fun rules can fuck with that. The less rules the better (even from a staff perspective this is much better).

Leave this alone for now do the musts and find out the hard way if we need to do this.

So buffs will be up to player and mod discretion if it is approved.

Personally I believe more in equal opportunity. If you had the option and you didn't choose to take it, that's your fault. Unless we're going to make a system that divides chars into groups and then determine how many stat boosts one group can get over another, then be my guest, but otherwise I don't like it being all ambiguous like this.

Groups would be bad considering alot of people could probably classify themselves as more than one group. With everyone starting off at D-Rank itd be to hard to place groups especially if spells are made early versus end game

If not we can just increase duration to what I posted previously so it's fair and people can't say "I didn't know my boost could go that long" after looking at someone else's spells later on down the line.

I'm just saying that from a moderator's perspective, it's not going to be easy to grade characters fairly all the time since it's so ambiguous. If the groups aren't going to work, maybe just let everyone have the same stat boosts, but I don't like the ambiguousness of it all because people will complain sooner or later that they think mods didn't grade their app right, and it could end up being either way thanks to the ambiguity in this system.

I agree since we do have people that grade drunk

Bump

I'm okay with what Kyoto has made here. My only point is that we need X Rank. We don't have anything on them now, and eventually, somebody is going to read that point, and we're going to be caught unawares.

At the time I joined the site and made this I was told X_Rank is non existent ATM (which means later implementation)

The only reason X rank isn't at thing IMO is because Zed and Ean didn't want it and convinced everyone its evil...

I see no reason why we can't implement it now it in less than ten seconds. It's just a rank higher than SS lol.

As Bacon has agreed we will implement X Rank later.

Im editing Kyoto's stat boosts into the stat guide and no one can stop me >:c

But seriously, this has been done forever and now that stats are edited, someone archive it since I'm on my phone~ Or I'll just do it tomorrow

Oh wait, forgot Mizu said we needed an X-Rank one. Any suggestions?

I'd say either 3 boosts for 5 posts or 2 boosts for 9 posts. Any decisions?

2 Stat for 9 and 3 stat for 5

seems legit.

Both for X
