Thanks for reading Akira

Ok so here is the todays update, its not much of an update, (i have been busy playing a new game most of the week), Also i will put this up in the in-game section so that way you guys can talk about what needs to be improved on it. I have added windows to kiritos/asunas house and have added the back wall to it.  " />

Something to help u guys make it till sunday. [img][/img]

Hey, guys.  I have an update for the level up systems in SAO (some of this will be repeats of information already posted, but there is some new stuff in here, trust me XD).  As we plan right now, the game will have a maximum level cap of 500 levels.  At every level, you gain 3 ability points which you can either use to upgrade your strength or agility.  These points will affect your stats as shown below.  Also, certain weapons will have requirements for strength and/or agility in order to draw them from their sheathe.

Agility: Agility will increase the maximum speed that a player can move their body. It will start at a speed slightly higher than the human average (somewhere around 18-20mph). It will increase at a rate of 1 mph every 10 points spent (or 1/10 of a mph every point spent). For those of you who don't like doing math, this will lead to a maximum speed of 150mph at max level, without taking armor modifications or other skill modifications into account (for example, sprint will increase your maximum running speed even more, but not the other types of speed)

Strength:  Strength will increase the damage a player can do with weapons, their maximum health, and how strong their character is in-game (from a muscles standpoint).  To give you an idea of what we were thinking, consider a human of average height and weight.  A regular punch from a lvl 1 player will cause the human to stumble backwards.  This distance will increase by 1 yard every 2 points spent in it (or 1.5 feet for every point).  This will lead to a maximum lauching distance of 750 yards, without taking into consideration any other factors.  Obviously, armor rating will affect launch distance, as well as the use of sword skills designed to launch an opponent and the weight of the opponent.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them in the questions section of the Forums

Exactly what Akira and I thought of when we talked about the skill system. Awesome!

have y'all done a complete list of the skills that will be available?

not yet. I've taken all of the skills from the Wiki and translated them to "video game speak" (meaning, exactly what stat changes will take place), but we haven't started to generate our own yet. Also, right now only Argus Team and moderators are able to post in the news section. I'd love to answer your questions, but we're just trying to keep here as open as we can for just game news. If you have any more would you mind posting them in the questions thread?

This is 4-26-2015 Update- The animation made by LagV: 

Since the Tonfa were considered a to OP weapon and basically was dual-wielding to begin with, we decided to replace it with Estocs.

An Estoc is the type of sword Death Gun fought Kirito with in GGO. It's a very different weapon than the tonfa, but it will occupy the same role of high dps and high speed attacks. Plus, it already existed in SAO lore, so we kinda had to include it XD. You will unlock it by leveling up your rapier skill to a certain level.

Thx for filling that up.

Oh, also don't google an estoc to figure out what it is, just watch the episodes where death gun uses it. Historical estocs are completely different weapons than what death gun uses, but we're going to go with his version because that's the type of estoc that exists in the SAO universe.

We have chosen our 12 Game Masters for SAO
