/sizeocoloro:#FF0000/coloroThis will be my Neraine Progress Thread, since I want to make an additional one for Sisi and Gely.I will place all of my General Suggestions and Questions here.colorc/colorcsizec/sizecSo, I started playing the game today, and I wanted to start off by offering my praise. Good job, An. I can certainly see this game will be going places.So, me being a sucker for Agility, I decided to try and play the game once through on Nera first. I forgot to start recording my progress until now, so here's what I have so far: (based on the sheer amount of topics ALREADY posted in this forum, I'm assuming that many of the issues I raise here will already have been addressed, but oh well...)coloro:#0000FF/coloroQuestion 1:colorc/colorc Shucked?I was reading the descriptions on some of the items, and I have to ask: what the poo is "shucked"?For example: Crystal Armguard40% Chance to cast Freezing Nova when shucked.coloro:#0000FF/coloroQuestion 2:colorc/colorc How are Medal Ranks determined?I've been running through the game, and I've been trying to find out how medals are earned. Is it based on any of these factors:Enemies DefeatedAccuracyTime Taken to Complete LevelGems CollectedDamage TakenDamage DealtWould anyone care to enlighten me?

Now, this may be because my looting just plain sucks, but I'm pretty sure I'm seeing less and less Azure Stones. I'll try Clear Blue again with Ladon, so I can rule out my terrible looting skills.EDIT:I retried Clear Blue with Ladon, and it appears that I simply have crappy looting, as the stats for that run are as follows:Nera/Ladon (Level 8)Stones Collected: coloro:#FF0000/coloro47colorc/colorc coloro:#0000FF/coloro47colorc/colorcMedal Bonus:coloro:#FF0000/coloro35colorc/colorc coloro:#0000FF/coloro35colorc/colorcStage Clear:coloro:#FF0000/coloro20colorc/colorc coloro:#0000FF/coloro20colorc/colorcTotal:coloro:#FF0000/coloro102colorc/colorc coloro:#0000FF/coloro102colorc/colorcEDIT2:Nera/Naga (Level 11)Windres Village: SilverStones Collected: coloro:#FF0000/coloro30colorc/colorc coloro:#0000FF/coloro39colorc/colorcMedal Bonus:coloro:#FF0000/coloro36colorc/colorc coloro:#0000FF/coloro47colorc/colorcStage Clear:coloro:#FF0000/coloro48colorc/colorc coloro:#0000FF/coloro48colorc/colorcTotal:coloro:#FF0000/coloro114colorc/colorc coloro:#0000FF/coloro134colorc/colorcI guess we can put this issue to rest O-o. 2 Stone difference in Azure's favour.coloro:#FF00FF/coloroIssue 2:colorc/colorc Crimson and Azure Stones are grey and black (minor issue)I'm not sure if this is a big problem or not, but my Crimson Stones are Grey, and my Azure Stones are black.Sunset Forest: SilverStones Collected: coloro:#FF0000/coloro38colorc/colorc coloro:#0000FF/coloro35colorc/colorcMedal Bonus:coloro:#FF0000/coloro34colorc/colorc coloro:#0000FF/coloro32colorc/colorcStage Clear:coloro:#FF0000/coloro36colorc/colorc coloro:#0000FF/coloro36colorc/colorcTotal:coloro:#FF0000/coloro108colorc/colorc coloro:#0000FF/coloro103colorc/colorcsizeo:3/sizeoNera/Siren (Level 9)sizec/sizecStats:PrimaryPower: 10Endurance: 6Agility: 24Empathy: 6Stats: SecondaryHealth: 220Energy: 165Dodge: 49Attack Speed: 6Morale: 62*Jumping forward REALLY far:*sizeo:3/sizeoNera/Beezlebub (Level 18)sizec/sizecStats:PrimaryPower: 23Endurance: 6Agility: 33Empathy: 8Stats: SecondaryHealth: 310Energy: 264Dodge: 72Attack Speed: 8.25Morale: 36I am not even going to comment on how destructive Nera is at this point. Azure Dance simply rapes everything in its path. As well, coloro:#FF0000/coloromany of the ranged creatures have a firing arc that moves upwards. Azure Dance's attack arc is directed mostly up and forward. Because of this, I can close in on the ranged creatures, stay in one spot, and not get hit. I smell an OP exploit? For this, I would suggest either changing the creature's firing arcs, or shift Nera's Azure Dance attack arc down a bit, so that the attack is focussed more forward.colorc/colorcsizeo:3/sizeoNera/Beezlebub (Level 20)sizec/sizecStats:PrimaryPower: 25Endurance: 6Agility: 30Empathy: 12Stats: SecondaryHealth: 330Energy: 318Dodge: 85Attack Speed: 7.5Morale: 44Equipment: Cursed Pendant, Mirage BootsAt this point in time, now that Nera is maxed, I am doing 455 damager per Azure Dance. (HAX! D: ) Managed to beat the game now, although Zodiac Memory likes to rape me after his stupid 1 HP+ no recovery debuff, although the dodge provided by the Boots kept me alive quite well. Still only got bronze... MUST GET GOLD D:coloro:#FF00FF/coloroIssue 3:colorc/colorc Hydra is a sexist D:Why, oh why, does Hydra benefit only Gelyan? If he offers conditional perks to male characters, then there should be some benefit for a female character.coloro:#008000/coloroSuggestion 1:colorc/colorc Item Decomposition?My thinking was that if Esis is the one creating these items for us out of nothing but gemstones, shouldn't she also be able to decompose the items back into part of their original materials? This would be somewhat like a "sell" feature for players to use after they upgrade equipment. The rate of exchange doesn't have to be huge, perhaps 30-40% of the original Crimson and Azure Stones used are returned to the player. Special items like Holy Waters, Garnets and the like don't have to be returned.coloro:#008000/coloroSuggestion 2:colorc/colorc More variety in Monster Waves?I know that we're still in the early stages of Beta, so asking for more variety in the spawns might be a bit redundant. However, there seems to be a distinct pattern in the waves:Roughly 6 melee Spawns+ 2-3 ranged Spawns. => 1-2 Tanks-like spawns ( The giant green birds, or the bears in their flying pod-things) followed by a 12-ish melee spawns. => 1 Massive ( what would you classify that Gyarydos-like creature in Clear Blue?) Spawn + optional Ranged Spawns. Rinse, lather and repeat.At the moment, I am having battling off a massive headache that no amount of Ibuprofen can cure, so I can't offer many wave suggestions at the moment. Give me a day or two, or at least until the pressure behind my eyeballs ceases...coloro:#008000/coloroSuggestion 3:colorc/colorc Bestiary?This my be me referring back to my Pokémon days, but I would very much like to have a Wings of Genesis Bestiary, similar to the Pokédex. In it could be details of all the monsters you've defeated so far, as well as the Myth-Beasts that you've unlocked. Information disclosed by the Bestiary could be disclosed by either:A) Defeating a certain number of monsters. For example, if you kill 1 of those Blue Bees (I'm going to call it that for now; correct me if I'm wrong later), your Bestiary will be updated with the Picture of the monster. Kill 10, and you get it's name. Put down 50, and you get their Secondary Stats (Health, Movement, Attack Rate, etc). Kill 100, and you get a small bit of history behind the monster. Kill 500 or 1000 or something, unlock an achievement?coloro:#008000/coloroSuggestion 4:colorc/colorc Achievements?I'm an achievement hunter, and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone out there. As stated above in the Bestiary, achievements could be given out for defeating a certain number of enemies. Others could be something like:"Close Call": Finish a level with less that 5% health remaining."OOM": Be under 10% energy for more than 1 minute."Hoarder": Gather a total of 3000 Gems"Be Prepared": Possess 8 Equipments at one time.Stuff along the lines of t

To answer your question:1> It is a cast-on-hit item. When you take damage, you will have 40% chance to auto cast Freezing Nova. If you run into any other description that has mis-spelling, grammar mistakes or unclear, please feel free to point them out and put a suggestion. I will fix them =)2>Medal is rewarded basing on how fast you beat a level. If you look at the top-left conner of the play area, you will see a timer keep going up. If you beat the level before the timer get to 2500, you get a gold medal. 3> Ops, look like I forgot to chance the perk description for Sisi, Nera and Gelyan. Sisi's perk no longer effect pricing. The true perk descriptions are displayed at the character select screen.Great report, please keep them coming. Also, your lack of azure stone may be because you use them more than Crimson stone. A good way to boost your azure stones is to use the Azure Breeze item. If will transforms all Crimson stone that you receive in the level into Azure st
