Hello there^^
Thanks for having me in your clan Luminary members! ...Cause I'm assuming that anyone reading this is in the clan Luminary ^^. If you're not, then what are ya doin here?!? I can only guess at that...
Well, I guess you can read it anyway *shrugs*
Anyway, some of you may know me from the ye old international server. Some of you may not.
Fun times those were. Wasn't always fun, sometimes, it REALLY wasn't fun. But I still had some of the most fun nights of my life on there! Sad to have seen it come to an end.
With all my stuff now gone, I didn't and still don't plan on restarting an effort to revive my old self, and everything I had.
Frankly, I just don't like all the new stuff now. It's a bit boring, and a hassle, and just throwin things way too outta balance for me.
I just don't think the game is all that fun any more. I'd rather live a little more (plus I sleep much better now having given it all up. Retirement has it's perks).
But even so, I still love this game. Specifically, the demons. As an avid fanatic of mythology, both religious and non, it's no surprise I came to really love these demons.
I'd say I've never played a game where I felt my partners were more like eternal companions!
MegaTen is full of demonic memories I don't want to forget, so a couple years ago, I started up a hobby, which turned into a big project eventually.
I've always liked things being compiled, so I loved the idea of the Demon Compendium. So, I decided to make my own, actual, physical, version of the thing. Using all the demons of IMAGINE.
I designed pages in Microsoft Word, 4 pages for each demon entry. I imput the information, most of which was generously gathered by those who worked on the wiki (many thanks for that, cause we seriously would all be lost without it. TOTALLY LOST. In CAVE's sea of misery and confusion...!!!) *ahem* anyway, I imput the information, print out the pages, and put em in a book. (A binder. A huge-ass binder. I'm a simple guy, k? It's not like I own a professional book-making factory!)
Which brings me to my requests. My no doubt strange-sounding requests. My reason for coming to the jp server. (Sorry it took so long to get to this part). I will start off by saying that I am in no way forcing anyone to go out of their way to help me with these. Help is appreciated though, as it's one of the reasons I joined this clan based on recommendation I'm just saying, there's no rush at all. I don't need them tomorrow, or next week, or anything like that. It's on your own time, whenever it's convenient for you, and if you feel like helping out. It's my own project, for my sentimental reasons, and it's outside the game, so if you don't want to help for those reasons, that's perfectly fine.
Anyway, here are my requests:
I put a lot of effort into this Cmpendium. And there are two things I still need:
1. Screenshots! I need to take screenshots of them myself, if you need magnetite to summon the demon for me, I'll try to keep a supply ready to spare. It's not as simple as that though. I hate to sound picky, but there are certain guidelines, and I followed these guidelines when I took these screenshots for over 250 demons already ^^,
the guidelines are:
- Protopia, the terminal area, is where I take the screenshots. Protopia pretty much has the purest white light I could find. Sorry, I just can't have Babel's yellowish lighting on the demons ^^;
Oh, and obviously, it needs to be daytime of course in order to have that pure light!
- I need either normal variants, OR variants that are normal size. ...and they can't have any weird special effects going around them lol. So yeah, inexperienced and such, sorry, just won't work. I've been asked this before, so I'll say it now: I don't care where you get them from lol. I don't care if they're from a summon pg lol That's fine. There's no issue there. (why would there be?)
- Last thing I ask for is patience. The terminal area is where I take the pics, and I want the demon behind the terminal, and facing the terminal. Like the picture below. I'm not strict on where specifically the demon is behind the terminal, just that it's facing the terminal in the spot. Like the picture below. The reason I ask for "patience" is because I know things like demon movement can be laggy or delayed on other people's monitors. So bear with me if you can.
Yeah, it's an old pic. But you see the entrance to the fountain back there, so you kinda see what I'm talking about.
All right, the second thing I need:
2. BASE Fusion success rates for Tri-Fusion demons. It's a weird request I know. I know there's always gonna be a boost due to friendship requirements, but I figured it was appropriate to use the base percentages instead. So how to go about doing this? Well, it's true you can just tell me when you do one I need. But I'll feel more safe if you take a screenshot like the one below and post it on here (this pic is also old from the int server, but you can still pretty much tell what it looks like on the jp server) Basically, it's the window right before fusion confirmation. It shows the success rate AND the friendship boost. I got almost all of them from the demons on the int server, and tried to compare them with the percents on the wiki, to see if there was a common difference, but nope. Some were off by 3, some by 4, some by more, and a couple that were listed on the wiki were completely impossible percentages to get no matter what friendship levels are used lol
ALSO, I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT DEMONOLOGY CAN AFFECT THE BASE SUCCESS RATE FOR FUSIONS. I WAS TOLD AN INCREASE OF 1% FOR EVERY 5 RANKS SEEMS TO BE THE CASE. (LET ME KNOW IF THAT'S RIGHT OR NOT). EITHER WAY, IF YOU DO POST A PIC OF A TRI-FUSION WINDOW LIKE BELOW, PLEASE SAY IF YOU HAVE ANY DEMONOLOGY CLASSES/RANKS, SO THAT I MAY TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT. THANK YOU!
Anyway, that's pretty much all there is to it. Those are my requests, as strange as they are. I come to you asking for help. Theres not much I can do on my own. (Though I have gotten plugins and screenshots for easy demons like 2 of the Docks B11 demons, and I'm trying for invoke plugins too. But that's the gist of it. I might ask for help in the normal acts, to get Flauros, and Chimera, so I can add them. But other than that, I won't beg for runs, I won't beg for equips, I won't beg for synthers (lol). Just those two things so I can hold on to the memories forever. (And NOT let CAVE take it all away once more)
Any and all help is appreciated.
Now then, to save you the trouble of having to read this post again, I'll make a second post below that will list the demons I need for screenshots and tri-fusion base rates, and update it as I get them.
Thank you for taking the time to read this *bows*
Oh, when I get around to it, I'll post some pics of my Compendium for the heck of it.
EDIT: I have now posted some pictures of what my Compendium looks like! Check the posts, as I spread them out over a couple. They are attachments though, so I think you'll need to log in to view them full size. Sorry bout that ^^
