Golden Experience

【Third Round】Large-scale Defense Battle【Official Event】

1: Amatein

I created this post as there was an announcement for the third official event.

Currently known information:

• Attacks from the sky.
• Targets are indiscriminate (no relation to country, race, or whether they are monsters).
• Event period is approximately one week in real-time, 10 days in-game time (same as the second event).
• Experience gained during the event is increased by 10% (same as the second event).
• Penalty during the event is changed to “1-hour decrease of all stats by 5%” (same as the second event).
• Event-specific social media platform will be set up during the event (same as the second event).
• Enemy strength is equivalent to difficulty level ☆2.
• Anonymous reporting of results is allowed.

Please add details if anything is missing.

2: Nameless Elf

Thank you for creating the thread.

3: Alonson

Thank you. It was close to being a duplicate thread.

4: MentaList

Attacks from the sky, huh? That must be the Archangel in the Sky Castle. One of the Seven Great Calamities.

5: Healthyunpeelable

It says they attack indiscriminately, but I wonder if they’ll attack the Seventh as well. Or maybe calamities get along with each other?

6: Lyewarehouse

Judging from the announcement, even if calamities clash, they might do so upon meeting… The Seventh, was it pure white with wings? They seem related.

7: ThoseWarmHands

But the trademark halo of an angel wasn’t there. Instead, it had yellow horns, I think.

8: MentaList

Aren’t those golden?

9: Wayne

In any case, there are already dungeons controlled by a calamity in Hiers, and we’ll have to see if angels will attack there too.

10: Amatein

True. But if the Archangel and the Seventh coordinate their attacks, honestly, there’s not much we can do.

11: Nameless Elf

The ☆2 difficulty is suspicious. Angel attacks might be ☆2, but what about the Seventh?

12: Healthyunpeelable

If that’s the case, wouldn’t the announcement from the administration say something like “attacks from the sky and the land”?

13: Gi1gamesh

If, hypothetically, the Archangel and the Seventh are in conflict and clash, would the venue be Hiers?

14: Crack

Seriously? Gotta go to Hiers then.

15: Zekio

>>11

Honestly, from a casual player’s perspective, having ☆2 enemies for the event is just right and helpful.

16: Amatein

>>11

>>15

Considering there might be missions to protect the city, if enemies stronger than that attack in large numbers, it could be tough.

17: Monkey Dive Sasuke

NPCs should be fine. According to that old man’s story in Hiers, they’ve been attacked many times before, so they’re used to it.

51: Crystal Princess

Hey, has the event already started?

By the way, when did the previous event end?

52: Arafubuki

Maybe it’s Urashima Taro?

53: Crystal Princess

Stop joking.

54: ImpoliteSpeech

>>53

That’s my line.

55: Crack

If it’s the 3rd official event, it starts next week. If it’s the 2nd official event, it ended a month ago. Why?

56: Crystal Princess

The city was suddenly attacked by skeletons and destroyed! If it’s not an event, then what is it?!

57: Gi1gamesh

Calm down. Which town?

58: MariWolf

>>57

It’s Willab in Portree. I was there too, but there were too many, and it was hopeless. Even the regular knights were defeated; it was impossible.

59: Nameless Elf

Portree’s city destroyed? Is that possible? NPCs in that country, or rather, the upper-level knights and nobles, were stronger than players, right?

60: Healthyunpeelable

Because of that, they had this arrogant attitude. The NPCs in Portree were kinda rude. Hiers is more comfortable; I probably won’t go to that country again.

61: ThoseWarmHands

I think Portree suddenly invaded some city in Hiers, right? There was a commotion about them massacring all the residents.

62: Healthyunpeelable

Ah, Portree did that? Then it’s probably Ingaouhou*.

(T/N: written インガオーホー and from what I can tell, this seems to be a compound term that basically means “karmic retribution”, “what goes around comes around”, “you reap what you sow”)

63: Nameless Elf

Even if it was retaliation, who retaliated when everyone in the city was killed? And with a large army of skeletons?

64: Gi1gamesh

Wasn’t the first invasion in the city in Hiers? If the retaliation was done by skeletons, then, well, there’s only one possibility, right?

65: Wayne

If they perceived that city as their own, then the retaliation must have been by the calamity.

66: MentaList

With the appearance of the Archangel, things are getting confusing. It’s not as simple as the Seventh or the Seventh (T/N: this is written in a confusing way)

67: Crystal Princess

I’ve been following that thread, and I know about it, but it wasn’t done by Willab’s knights. I have nothing to do with it!

68: MariWolf

Originally, the city was probably attacked by a knight order dispatched from the capital. I know they passed through Willab. If they really intend to retaliate, it won’t end with just Willab.

69: CountryPop

How about we gather at the Portree capital like last time, taking a chance?

70: Amatein

But this time, Portree made the first move. Unlike Hiers, Portree has knights equal to or stronger than players. Even if we offer cooperation, it’s uncertain whether they’ll accept.

71: Wayne

It looks similar to that time, but we’re asking about the situation in the Hiers town that was invaded first. If we decide to go, the mode of transportation is also a problem. We can’t teleport directly to the city. Besides, back then, it was a request from Hiers, which made it happen.

72: Udonko

Why report it in the next event thread?

There’s an evacuation notice from King Portree!

Ah, it’s the city of Grano in Portree. It’s probably between Willab and the capital.

73: Gi1gamesh

I don’t know when it was devastated, but if you think about it, >>51 responded and posted… It’s pretty messed up. How did the king know the situation?

74: Nameless Elf

I don’t really understand Portree, but the information spreads quickly. During the previous event, I teleported to several cities, and it seemed like information about monsters was quite shared.

75: MentaList

I wonder if there’s a magic or skill for that. I’d like to ask, but it seems like there won’t be another chance…

76: Healthyunpeelable

>>75

Already given up, huh? lol

77: MariWolf

No way, I think. Willab is the biggest city in Portree, and if it falls, what about the capital?

The Seventh? That’s the white one, right? I haven’t seen it at all, so maybe even after doing this it hasn’t even gotten started yet?

78: Crystal Princess

Whatever! What about compensation for my experience points?! This is definitely not my fault!

79: ImpoliteSpeech

There’s no way that’s happening. Why is this person so arrogant?

80: Arafubuki

Maybe you were doing decently in Portree, so you’re a mid-level or higher player, right? With that personality, you’re managing well. Are you really a princess, as your name suggests?

81: Amatein

Take personal matters elsewhere. For now, at least in my and Wayne’s party, we’ll observe Portree this time. It doesn’t mean we don’t care, but local players should decide whether to evacuate based on that.

82: Healthyunpeelable

I’m also leaning towards observation. I’d rather stay here and see the top battle between calamities that might happen in Hiers.

83: MentaList

As for me, I recommend evacuation. Facing opponents like the Seventh who seem unbeatable is good, but if possible, it’s better after the event starts and there’s no death penalty.

84: Gi1gamesh

Everyone is cold towards Portree. Well, I understand though.

134: Ikukasane Kazenaru (T/N: 幾重風鳴; something like “the sound of layers of wind”)

I don’t know why, but is this thread the right place?

A massive army of skeletons has arrived at Portree’s capital. Portree’s knights have gathered from somewhere, and there are quite a lot of them. More than the opponents, it seems.

135: Healthyunpeelable

>>134

Thanks for the report. Feels like the final showdown. By the way, what happened to the player who posted earlier? Did they evacuate?

136: Crystal Princess

Yeah.

137: MariWolf

Yep.

138: Udonko

Yes.

139: Ikukasane Kazenaru

Huh?

140: MentaList

Late to escape…

(-∧-；）

141: ThoseWarmHands

But it hasn’t been decided that we’ve lost yet, right?

142: Arafubuki

Seems pretty much decided, though.

143: Ikukasane Kazenaru

There are hardly any knights inside the city… Are they all outside? Is this okay?

144: ImpoliteSpeech

If it’s okay, then everyone hasn’t evacuated.

145: Ikukasane Kazenaru

Ah! But it looks like the king-like person is also deploying! He’s surrounded by knights with luxurious armor, so that’s probably the king! If it was dangerous, the king wouldn’t have come out, right? Seems fine?

146: Alonson

Don’t say anything more… it looks like a flag… lol

…

159: Ikukasane Kazenaru

Couldn’t defeat the calamity…

160: Healthyunpeelable

Too slow, isn’t it?

161: Wayne

In the end, it was the calamity after all.

162: Ikukasane Kazenaru

Eh, I don’t know. Around the king, things were blown away and exploded, so maybe. I didn’t see what happened.

163: Crystal Princess

Is the capital destroyed? Where did you respawn? We’re forming a party with the three of us now. Wanna join?

164: Ikukasane Kazenaru

Wow, is that okay? But the capital isn’t destroyed! The city seems fine. Are there quite a few knights left if we talk about numbers? Only the king and the people around him died.

165: MentaList

They only targeted the head and the guards, huh? Since they haven’t captured the city, it means they didn’t intend to destroy Portree this time?

166: Gi1gamesh

Maybe because Portree’s cityscape wasn’t beautiful? They didn’t like it, so they didn’t need it.

167: Wayne

Ah, that might be it.

168: Ikukasane Kazenaru

So, we survived because of that…

169: Nameless Elf

It’s beautiful, though, Portree’s capital. Harmonious with greenery.

170: Healthyunpeelable

Probably tired of seeing green. You’re probably from the forest, right?

171: Amatein

I checked, and Portree is still on the official site. It’s confirmed that the king died, but it seems like the nation itself didn’t collapse. The damage is to a part of the knight order, including the king and the guards, and maybe a city like Willab? I don’t know what happened to the passed-through cities, but for now, it seems to have settled. If there’s any information later, let’s discuss it in Portree’s comprehensive thread. It probably ended before the event and had nothing to do with the event. By the way, it’s rare to consume so many threads, almost reaching 200 before the event starts.

172: CountryPop

Amatein, you’re too quick to create threads, regular.

173: Healthyunpeelable

Is this a regular occurrence for them? (Confused)

174: Crystal Princess

It’s because I posted. Sorry.

175: MentaList

So, in the end, has anyone seen the appearance of the Seventh?

176: Gi1gamesh

It’s unclear if the person (??) was there, but given the situation, it’s definitely the handiwork of the Seventh, right?

177: Wayne

I don’t think they’re having a memorial for the dead NPC residents, but if it’s retaliation for someone meddling in their affairs, I can understand it to some extent.

899: Kenken

I heard that the king of Portree was defeated by the calamity, so I walked back to the city to see what happened.

900: Takeshida

Oh, you’re doing your best. How was it? Are the knights gone?

901: Kenken

Not just the knights, the entire city was gone.

902: Vancool

I don’t quite understand what you’re saying.

903: Autumn

Please report accurately lol.

904: Kenken

If you have complaints, go check it out yourself. Seriously, everything is gone. It’s a complete wasteland.

905: Vancool

What happened…

906: Takeshida

Doesn’t matter, does it? All the residents were probably killed by Portree’s crap, and if the city, along with the knights, has turned into a wasteland, serves them right.

907: Autumn

Did the organizers clean up because the mastermind who attacked the city died?

908: Kenken

If that’s the case, it’s a sloppy job lol. Maybe they couldn’t delete the objects systemically, so they dropped a meteorite or something?

【Game System Verification】 Part 6

63: Blank

It might be a bit late to mention, but it seems that the natural LP recovery rate is not constant.

64: Professor Mori Etti

Really?

65: Saint Riegan

>>64

Character!

66: Blank

It subtly changes depending on the hunger level. Although most people won’t deliberately let themselves get hungry until the change is noticeable, if you do, you’ll almost die if you don’t eat something soon.

67: Haust

I doubt anyone bothers to check the LP natural recovery rate in that state. Why did you do such a thing? Training?

68: Blank

It was by chance lol. I was hunting constantly while being hungry.

69: Professor Mori Etti

Isn’t that what people call training?

70: Blank

The village where I was staying was attacked by bandits at night, and the orchard we were cultivating in the village was raided. After that, a merchant-like person came from a nearby country, offering to trade with the village. However, I didn’t have any gold coins, so I couldn’t buy anything. I had no choice but to try and earn some by hunting near the lake.

71: Saint Riegan

What were you hunting? If it’s beasts or fish, you could eat that, right?

72: Blank

Slimes. There’s a proper town at a big lake farther away, but I can’t go there yet due to my abilities. So, I was hunting weak slimes in a small puddle-like lake nearby.

73: Professor Mori Etti

I see…

74: Blank

While fighting and sometimes starving, I noticed that the LP natural recovery was strangely slow. I measured the time, and it seems that when the hunger gauge drops below a certain value, the natural recovery amount decreases. Around just before starving, it barely recovers at all.

75: Haust

Even if it recovers, you’ll die of hunger anyway.

76: Professor Mori Etti

What about MP natural recovery?

77: Blank

That didn’t change. It was recovering normally even right before starvation.

78: Saint Riegan

Recovering only MP is meaningless lol.

79: Professor Mori Etti

No, if there’s a magical skill or something that can create food or directly restore the fullness gauge, it might be possible to avoid starving.

80: Haust

Considering the deliberate distinction, there must be some significance. It wouldn’t be surprising if there were such skills.

966:

The new event is said to be a cooperative play one.

967:

Who with whom?

968:

Dunno. Maybe players and NPCs from places other than here?

969:

Well, that’s true. What are you guys gonna do?

970:

Stab them in the back while players and NPCs cooperate to fight event monsters.

971:

In that case, hiding in a dungeon would be good.

972:

I’m in a cave. Probably some dungeon, I think. Players often come there. Does the event happen inside the cave too? It says attacks from the sky.

973:

I don’t know. But if it doesn’t matter inside the cave, they wouldn’t describe it as an event across the entire continent. There are quite a few cave-type dungeons, so you can probably just ignore it.

974:

So how are they going to attack? Will they enter from the entrance obediently?

975:

They’re sitting ducks. They can’t fly inside a cave lol.

976:

Then it’s seriously behind my house. My place is a forest.

977:

Not your house lol. But in a forest, you can fight advantageously by using trees and stuff, right?

978:

Now that you mention it, that’s true lol. So, what’s dangerous? Towns and plains?

979:

Desert dweller, announcing retirement.

980:

I’ve never seen a desert lol. There’s one?

981:

Still, there are a lot more people than before.

982:

Well, the start is super hard mode, but if you can tame monsters, then…

983:

Hehehe. Can I drop some super-sized info even though it’s before the event?

984:

Annoying. Spit it out!

985:

I managed to change the route from goblin to kobold! I won’t tell you how because I didn’t like >>984’s attitude!

986:

I apologize m(_ _)m

987:

Can’t be helped lol. Anyway, first, you need to find Kobolds──
