Dragon Quest Online (SAO/Worm)

[X][Update Action] You may know a person who knew a person. You were the most tech-savvy of the ones they could foist it off on.

I'm thinking Promotional materials get sent to the PRT and Guild a lot.
 
Unless the dude managed to rewrite how computers communicate and managed to do so in a manner that was still somehow backwards compatible with all the current internet hardware, Kirito realistically could not have saved Yui's file, at least not in its entirety because the method of transfer would have said "Something's fucked up, let me start over again." And kept doing that while she was still loosing data and dying.
Not to be rude, but the embed video a page or so back says this with an in-depth explanation for why Kirito stuffing Yui into an item was bullshit. It isn't that Yui was transferred into an item or the fact that Kirito made that happen. The problem is that Kirito hacked the game in seconds to do. Again, the video embed from earlier explains why this is bullshit. I'd say more, but then it would feel like blatant plagiarism. In fact...
@Vebyast You mind threadmarking the post that has the video embed in it? I've seen arguments repeat themselves in a thread before and it'd be nice to have that nipped in the bud.
I think we first have to realize there's a problem and probably try to remember how we even got here first. Especially since the first Boss is a couple months in.
I think Dragon might be a l8ttle late to the party. From the first chapter:
"'Ve only seen the first three Floors myself, but the First is definitely the best. The grass, the hills, the blue sky, and the sunrises and sunsets can't be beat."
There's one boss per floor, right? Or is it every five floors?
 
Just let the argument die already. Please.



[][Update Action] Let's just say that drunk you is kind of a wizard and you're not going to try to find out.

Very tempting, but...


[x][Update Action] You don't know. You're at your job, nothing is going on, and then you're waking up out in a field.
-[x][Update Action] Head to an area where you're less likely to be overheard, if possible.
--[x][Update Action] Or just ask Yui if there's some sort of a private chat system you could use; if there is, use that instead.


I'd rather go with the truth in this case. I don't see any reason to go out of our way to conceal it from the first helpful person we met.



EDIT:

One per floor in canon.

I think there's a midboss and boss per floor.


Do we know if this is main launch or Beta?

Besides Little AI might have just let something slip rather than the players having managed the first boss.

This is the first I've heard of midbosses. There are dungeons and such, but there isn't a limit of one dungeon per floor; perhaps you're thinking of the bosses of those?
They're from Progressive I guess, the wiki lists one from the 2nd floor.

Hmmm, I can't decide on what to vote on... Let's go with...

She might not buy it, but it is more or less true, and I'd say the odds of her being able to pick out lies is pretty good.

That tech tree looks amazing, though.
Pumping Dex and Pop for zerg rush tactics would be great fun, can we pretty pleeease? *puppy eyes*

Edit: Vote expanded

"That would be because there is no tutorial, silly. You were supposed to talk to the NPCs when you spawned. Or read the manual."

You duck your head a little bit, hoping to display embarrassment.

"...Ah. Yes. The manual."
Tinkers don't need manuals! :rofl:
"I don't know. I've never even played any games before. I'm vaguely familiar with them, but only becuase I hang out on a forum that talks about games sometimes."

Yui's pout vanishes and her eyes widen.

"Whaaaaaaa? How'd you get a copy?!"

You look at her and express your confusion with a suitably placed eyebrow.

"There's only ten thousand NerveGears on the East Coast!" She nearly falls off the bench as she waves her arms wildly.
Uh...uh....PANIC. PANIC. PANIC. PANIC!

Edit: Took out my stupidity born from not getting enough sleep and the everyday stress of university because yes, I do expect someone to make fun of me for it later.

With the information given,

You're seriously reaching. Especially when it comes to little things which contradict you like "Dragon has no idea SAO was based in Japan."

EDIT: Heck, for all Dragon knows, it could just be a server thing. Most RL MMOs like WoW, SWTOR, etc. have different servers for the East Coast, West Coast, Europe, Australia, etc.

Wait a damn minute.




Yui found out we don't live in Japan! She wouldn't be so surprised about us having one if she didn't realize we're in North America instead of Japan. That isn't something a normal SAO player would be able to figure out. Her shock could also be coming from the the fact that we are the 10,001st player, which is also something a normal player wouldn't know. It isn't visible on Dragon's profile either!

With the information given, we could immediately assume that Yui is no normal player but instead a mod. How should we go about doing that?
Um... Dude. SAO wouldn't normally be based in Japan, at least not unless Dragon jumped a world on accident. And given how Collin doesn't know she's an AI, that hasn't happened yet. Japan is a third world country thanks to Leviathan and Lung camping out and wasting Kyushu in 1999 in Worm.

(not sure if I'm formatting that the way I want it ;~; )
This formatting works perfectly well.
You're seriously reaching. Especially when it comes to little things which contradict you like "Dragon has no idea SAO was based in Japan."
Also, everything so far has been in English, including Yui's speech and UI and the names of the shops, and everybody's mouth flappings are perfectly aligned with their speech. Dragon hasn't thought about it but would be almost certain that Yui is a native English speaker.

That Golem Skill is so good... I wonder if they can be used to scout out boss chambers.
