Difference between revisions of "Talk:Status effects"

Revision as of 05:22, 15 December 2006

This page seems to be lacking anything about status resistance. I know stamina is a determining factor, but what about MST or DFP, or armor rank? Does anyone actually know what determines whether or not you get a status? Or how about the odds of inflicting a status on an enemy? I know that varies by ranged weapon type and bullet/TECHNIC level. At the very least, I think a link to the STA page would be appropriate.

I noticed the status effects page here was still using Shifta/Deband/Jellen/Zalure, so I went ahead and fixed that. Hope I got all the Wiki markup stuff right. *shrug* --Qwerty 13:14, 17 September 2006 (PDT)
Thanks, sorry it was left like this. ~_~ Tycho
Being a FO is going to be fun now. Instead of 'GIVE S/D NOW' it's going to be 'GIVE A/D/Z/R/M NOW'. Thanks for fixing the names, Qwerty. Mewn
It's not that bad, when they want it, they'll just ask you to suicide for them, the dark boosting spell does everything while sacrificing the caster's life. Ok ok, HP.

Yes, but judging by a video I saw on Youtube the other day (sorry, I'll try to find the link again later), Megistal will only affect the caster, and it gives Agtal, Defbal, Retial, and Zodial. It also didn't seem (the resolution was rather low, so it is hard to say for certain) to take away any HP initially, but rather hit the caster 2-3 times for moderate damage shortly after the casting. Also, judging by the videos I have seen (I may be wrong, since I don't actually have the game), it seems that the "winged-foot" icon we are using for Zodial actually belongs to the "Static Status" category, as the symbol I have observed for Zodial looks identical to the other buffs (i.e. up arrow), but is white in color. Just my $0.02 --Qwerty 22:45, 26 September 2006 (PDT)

Judging by this video, the yellow up arrow is for Zodial (the picture name here was even evadeup), which means the Retial icon must be the white arrow. --Qwerty
Right. - Tycho

The icon marked as "Paralysis" is actually Sleep's. The icon for paralysis is quite similar to PSO's. Sleep itself actually seems to be a side effect of a light-elemental attack technique that, curiously enough, isn't Regrants (Agata Relics enemies, specifically). Has anyone experimented offline with light elemental bullets to see if they cause sleep as well? Also, I suggest renaming the "static status effect" section to as "enemy variations" or something along those lines. The monster itself has a different appearance that reflect these extra advantages it possesses. 71.55.54.138 09:05, 7 October 2006 (PDT)
- Hmm, thanks for letting us know. As for your question about light elemental bullets, I am 95% sure they cause Confusion and nothing else. Each of the 6 elemental bullets seems to have only one status effect attached, and the 7th and 8th bullets allow penetration and rapid fire respectively, if I have my facts right. Mewn
- Yohmei 1-handed Daggers occasionally inflict Sleep, while Bysha Type-Koas from Grove of Fanatics inflict Paralysis. One could possibly get the pictures from those two sources. FenixStryk

I think this should be added. Status effects can only be inflicted, if the thing causing it does damage. Therefore, if a bullet does 0 damage, the intended status effect will never happen. Same goes for TECHNICs, in that if a barta does 0 damage, you will never freeze. This is beneficial, because those of us who have tried synthesizing armors with high dark element (like me <_<), it's to negate the damage done by megid, in turn nullifying its status effect of instant kill.

Anyone know what the heart Icon is? I never seen it still. Also, The holy paralize I rather call Dazzed. The stars that blink around your char kinda looks like you've been Dazzed XD Rydia 14:51, 1 December 2006 (PST)

Not supposed to exist yet, but it's there alright. What it does? I didn't notice any difference. It's pretty odd at least. Perhaps it's beneficial; if I'm not mistaken Katei/Maintenance didn't provide immunity to it. - Tycho 01:36, 2 December 2006 (PST)
