Chaotic Dreams

Finally..an update. I'm sure many thought I just gave up, or just plain wondered "Okay, what the hell, Phil?"

Good question.

See, this last LONG stretch I have been left unable to update or even access my site in order to update it. You can thank Microsoft for that. First, they had an error that randomly crashes websites whenever trying to send emails or messages..or even post on blogs. THAT really, REALLY ticked me off to no end.

Then, there was the Active X thing. A window popped up that says "Click here to activate Active X control." Apparently Microsoft and the dude behind Active X controls parted ways, and now you have to click OK to access them, creating a helluvalot of hassles, or in my case..just crashing the site altogether.

Look on the account on Youtube "NichiStateum" for more info, updates, and such on Windia. I have a cam now so it should make things more interesting.

NOW onto what is done, just not up. New characters will be able to start off as any number of primary classes, no longer just the adventurer class. I have these basic classes DONE.

-Almost all of the human tribes are done. Only one is left unfinished.

-Basic chooseable styles: Iaido, FF7 Soldier (80% complete), Lightsaber ( 40% complete.) The rest are being revamped.

Multiple forms of XP, and stuff you can put XP -into-. Some of them, like Crafting, will increase what you can make, and decrease what you need to make it. Others, like Faction..will get you actual awards and benefits for contributing to your respective cause. Still others like Xpertise, are geared from the MMORPG front and will boost your class abilities, OR in some cases grant you additional skills and abilities not on the class page.

Guilds and Factions will be getting a revamp. You'll be able to get new powers of authority to wield your guilds as a mighty tool much more effectively. This might be anything from ordering an assassination, to hiring a backup NPC for a mission, to even ordering a "Mage Strike" (Think Bombing strike..) or a Supply drop with valuable potions and such.

Given the last quest, the ability to rezz is changed a bit too, for on the spot healing and back into the action. We will see how it goes. The spell lists will also be getting some updates, and some like the Mage (Basic class) will have the option of choosing spells from multiple branches.

In Windia III, the fighter classes and similar really got a raw deal as opposed to magic wielders. This time, the playing field has been leveled. For those of you that like info gathering, and so on..there are different makes of weaponry and such to make your character more unique. So if you find a piece of weaponry in some dungeon...a Gather Info roll will tell you possibly what type it is, what race made it, what tribe it is normally found in..etc. Identify, Gather Information, Lore..they are your friends, USE THEM! (I'm putting them in most classes at different levels for a reason. They will hopefully keep you alive, lmao..)

Thats it for now. More later, pending any other interruptions of doom.
