Orst-III

A mace of entwined alloys flowing gracefully into jagged steel.

An armament in the midst of the Ode'n refinement process. In search of the most brutal designs, countless revisions are measured against one another in battle. Every variant of Orst differs from the last, disparate bludgeons forged in search of uniform truth.

------
This heavy Mace can be acquired pre-crafted from Sinecure-Errant Gawth, Mace-wielding Bannerettes, and Sinecure knights wielding the Orst. (Gawth can be found in ruin next to Galvinar Wastes)

As a preview, Orst-III will bear the following new stats. The goal is to bring these changes to the rest of Alca’s weapons in the future!

• Craftwork: Determines the quality of the weapon, which dictates how many Tempers the weapon can potentially have.
• Tempers: Unique modifiers granting augmented properties to the weapon

Known Craftwork tiers include:

1. Stock
2. Military
3. Officer
4. Sovereign
5. Noble
6. Legendary
7. Moonsteel

Known Tempers include:

• Rejoinder - Increased Damage and Stagger during dodge attacks.
• Full Force - Increased Damage and Stagger during Heavy Attacks
• Breakneck - Heavy Attacks charge more quickly.
• Galvanic Strike - Adds Voltaic damage to weapon, staggering enemies in area of effect once hit.
• Venger - Increased Riposte Damage.
• Sullying Force - Increased chance of Smite.
• Bounding Swipe - Increased Damage and Stagger while Sprinting.
• Swooning Blow - Increased Stagger while attacking
• Fleet Fling - Increased Throw Speed

An addition for Preludes 14.5 are Ode'n drop pods. Some Sinecure will now be deployed atmospherically and drop near the Envoy's position.

Unsure how to trigger it tho, seems like a random encounter.

I'm getting the message "Login failed. Check your info." I've already changed my password, uninstalled and reinstalled, nothing works since the update. Is anyone else experiencing this? I've tried everything and I simply can't play.

Most the Orst have a green design in the top left, but confused on why this one is white instead.

Also I have different ones showing different levels. Don't we only have to level 1? Seems like the mastery hasn't counted for maxxing 1 out.

EDIT:

So this is a moonsteel variant, minor glowy FX. The white border graphic ONLY shows in the arsenal currently. it will not show in regular inventory. So one has to look at this weapon while in the arsenal to see if they have a variant.

im kinda nervous

Currently, the Orst can have up to 8 total Tempers, and the only why to get one with more Tempers in to farm for for a higher rarity and hope you get the Tempers you want. However, I have some possible suggestions for this.

--The First Descendant--
In The First Descendant (TFD) standard weapons will drop pre-crafted, while Ultimate weapons (Exotics for the Destiny players) must be crafted with parts/fragments. Every weapon will come with 4 perks, all of varying rarity (labeled by the perk's colors).

Weapons can be upgrade and enhanced at the Weapon Workbench within the main hub. When readjusting a weapon's perks in TFD, up to 3 perks can be locked, although this will increase the cost and readjustment materials needed. Readjustment materials can be crafted from resources gathered from scrapping junk weapons.
Basically: Scrap junk weapons, use the leftover resources to craft readjustment materials to adjust the weapons you wish to keep.

--Godfall--
A looter-slasher were melee weapons drop pre-crafted, each with their own varying rarity (again, labeled by the weapon's color). The higher a weapon's rarity, the more perks it can have, up to a total of 4 perks. Weapons can be upgraded and enhanced at the Godsmith's Forge.

Also, each weapon has 2 types of perks, Primary and Secondary. A Primary Perk is unique for each weapon, while Secondary Perks are all randomized and can be increased by Enchanting.

Resources used for Enchanting can be gained through the environment or by salvaging/junking weapons.

The main thing I wanna Focus on is Enchanting. When you Enchant a weapon, you will increase its rarity, while also giving it an additional perk. Only downside is that you can't re-roll/adjust perks like in TFD.

--Summary--
I'm unsure if Soulframe should just straight-up copy these systems for it's Craftwork and Temper system, but I do believe these games would make for a good point of reference.
Whatcha guys think?

no idea where it went, there was still 3 minutes of night left. bug or did i do something wrong?

Someone mentioned that the gameplay for Magick weapons (Staves, Wristcasters) feels a lil lackluster: its mainly just an auto aim ranged projectile that you spam.

So, i propose some possible additions for Magick: Spells and Incantations.

--SPELLS--
Special attacks that can be performed by building the buffing circle from the Grounded skill, then consuming it on a fully charged Heavy Attack.

The Grounded skill increase your attack speed when standing still, up to 4 charges, and is lost upon moving.

some potential Spell could include:

• Health Orb - An orb that floats around the environment, restoring health to envoys and damaging/debuffing enemies. Health restoration and damage/debuff tied to the circle’s level.
• Bouncing Orb - An orb that can bounce multiple times between enemies, depending on the circle’s level.
• Orb Trap - throw down an orb that creates an AoE field, its duration tied to the circle’s level.
• Rainfall - thrown an orb into the air that splits into multiple AoE fragments, depending on the circle’s level.
• Beam - A constant beam of pure magick, its duration tied to the circle’s level.
• Wave - cast a rolling wave of magick on the ground dealing heavy stagger to enemies. Range and duration tied to the circle’s level.

OR, instead of Spells, Magick weapons could have...

--INCANTATIONS--
Similar to the Hunting Horn from the Monster Hunter series.
Special buff that can be performed by making combos of attacks: Light Attack, Heavy Attack, and Charged Heavy Attack. 3 attacks, 3 Incantation parts.

Each staff/caster could have its own group of magic, perhaps.
The Incantation itself will be stored in a UI scroll above the player's Arcanic skills, showing the recently performed combo. To cast the Incantation, Block and Heavy attack, similar to throwing a weapon.

Incantations provide buffs to the player and their team with some possible Incantations being:

• Increased Health Restoration - Envoys can more easily restore recently lost Health.
• Stagger Resistance - Envoys take less stagger.
• Increased attack speed - Envoys can attack faster.
