@Eddio Your characters and their abilities are very fitting to the lore and nicely balanced, way to go and well accepted! Looking forward to seeing some storyline with those two! Also nice knowing you read up on stuff ^^ @anonyme0273 Nice character, strong but very well acceptable abilities. Do remember that calculations in fighting are very simplified and your mathematical formulas will not be that influential or judged on balance. I assume you simply take into account that depending on the region as well as the time spent channelling, your shields take a certain time to build up and break down. I also assume that enemies are generally just more vulnerable in your ice axe swing area (rather than taking a percentage more damage) and allow you to create stronger shields for a brief amount of time, that likely being a single shield. As for your final ability, I will just assume that that powers your shield generating powers up and grants you "CC" immunity, at the cost of them being weaker than normal for a while after your rage and slow you down. If this is okay with you that I see it this way, you too are accepted

@5MERTN1K I don't think I can class you as having all factions. Your abilities are too many and way too strong, especially creating everything from nothing and destroying from the planet. This isn't a sci-fi RP and your character seems barely BattleForge-related. There's a lot of stuff about galaxies and other planets which will really not have a lot to do with the story or setting. There has to be a lot that needs to be fixed about your character, I'm sorry. @Lukegriffin02 looks good to me. Your abilities seem well balanced and your character seems solid. Size of a castle seems huge, but reasonable for BattleForge standards I suppose. You're accepted.

I have processed the poll entries and cleaned up both the signup thread and the story itself. Please check it out. The new RP is now go! For those who want to start over or still need to send me a CS, now is the perfect time to make a post in the signup thread!

OOC: The Elemental Clash has now been cleaned up and revived. Some people's posts have been cleaned up due to inactivity, others want to start over. Please re-read the story so far and let's continue our epic tale!

The RP as well as this signup list has been cleaned up to only contain the people who are still in and who are accepted. @Kiwi Nice character, not too complex, abilities are balanced. It's nice to see a not overly complex character, also a female one too! Also nice to see that your character is sane You are accepted. @Dzodin Despite taking damage whenever you use it, be careful with your cloak. It is a very strong ability, make sure not to overuse it and I consider you as accepted too. @Malzawar Your abilities aren't too strong, which is made up by the immunity to the Twilight Curse. Seriously, that immunity is by far the strongest thing about your character and you should try to use it to your advantage. I hope you can cope with it well. For the rest, you are accepted. According to the poll I posted, I am still awaiting new character sheets from the following people: @anonyme0273 @Defqon @Lorddaggon @Mrgenki @Ruben @Sensei Please post your character sheets whenever you are ready. Those whom I have accepted now are ready to make their first post! Good luck

This is true, but it would be really hard to play a character without a will or mind or thoughts or motivation. This is why I altered that part of the Twilight lore. It could just be a new strain of curse.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're still in and/or still want your CS checked for the thread's revival, please check out this topic. If not, your CS will be archived. Every CS posted AFTER this post will be considered as fresh, new applications and are not at risk of being wiped.

OOC: IMPORTANT NOTE: Please vote in the thread over here if you want to keep participating and/or keep your storylines! I am reviving and cleaning up the RP, please be wary and gaze upon my mighty new thread:

Greetings Skylords, Skyladies, Skyfolks Maybe a few of you remember the BattleForge roleplay that I had going on a while ago, which unfortunately died out a bit due to personal circumstances and people not having enough time. I've been long since attempting to revive this thread, and I therefore think it is a good idea to have a look at who's still in. For those who don't know, The Elemental Clash was a thread in which people would participate to create a collaborative story set within the BattleForge universe using BattleForge characters, each with their own abilities, strengths and weaknesses, but with a lot of creative freedom. You can find the threads for signing up and the story so far over here: I was originally intending to give the RP a fresh start, but of course some of you have worked hard on a character sheet and several posts already, and I would prefer if those posts don't have to go to waste. Some characters already started intertwining their storylines though. Instead, I propose to do a cleanup of the existing RP topic. In order to set up the story again, I need help from the current and upcoming participants to let me know whether they are still game and up for posting at the very least once per week. So: If you want to join in this collaborative story, or want to participate again in case you were already in, please read the following: Please vote on the poll in this thread whether you are going to participate. Remember that if you are new, you also need to make a character sheet as seen in the signup thread above. If you do not vote on this poll I will consider you as inactive and out of the game. After a short time, I'd say about a week, I will check this poll and keep posts from everyone who has told me to stay in. I will be archiving/hiding posts from everyone who is either out or hasn't responded. I will do the same for existing character sheets! The poll also gives you the possibility to rewrite your existing story if you have an accepted character. In this case, if no ties are made between your and an existing character, I will keep you in the RP but archive all your existing posts, and you can start with a blank slate. If your story has intertwined with another participant who is no longer active, you are allowed to propose a solution to fix your storyline. If you can't, you will have to start over from scratch, too. If you are still here but want to step out of the RP and finish your story, vote for it in the poll and you can give your story a proper ending, thereby keeping your posts intact. If you do not, your posts will be wiped. Once I have cleaned up the threads, every participant who is new and has made a character sheet will be checked for the opportunity to join. Completely new applications are not at risk of being wiped, obviously. Before participating, make sure you have at least time for a post per week I will refer to this thread in the existing RP threads, and will let you all know when it starts. If you want to be sure you're there when it starts, be sure to follow the topic using the button in the right top of the topic. Once the topic has been cleaned up, it would be wise to re-read the RP and your Character Sheet so far to get back into the game. I hope many of you are still up for the task of writing for the RP, and hopefully you can all get at least a small post per week in. Let me hear those replies and participation messages, and let's make this story more epic than ever!

Necroing is not going to help you with that.

8/10 can't really go wrong with Adrian von Ziegler. Simple yet emotional, I'm into it. I find this entire soundtrack very comforting to listen to. This is one of the more tense songs

Aside from all the dragons, I'd go for Deepcoil Worm. It was my first expensive card, and it's just such an iconic and beautiful card for the game. Really suited it well, always gives me a lot of nostalgia. Northstar and Cluster Explosion do a lot for me, too.

Greetings Skylords, Skyladies, Skyfolks Ever wondered what kind of personality you truly have? In psychology, there's a general 16-category personality model called the Myers-Briggs model (MBTI). It consists of filling in a lot of questions that will determine your personality based on whether you're Introverted/Extraverted, Observant/Intuitive, Thinking/Feeling, and Prospecting/Judging. There's been a lot of research on this over the past few years. I personally did a test on this about 8 years ago, and another about 2 years ago for game audience research and player profiling. I've noticed that this test has become increasingly popular and there's quite a nice and descriptive website, https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test, that offers you a free test to see what profile you are. Just wondering what the community is up to personality-wise I am personally expecting a lot of INTP, ENTP and ISTJ kind of people around here, but that's just a wild guess from what I know and remember the community to behave like. You can find all types here: https://www.16personalities.com/personality-types Please do not judge people by their MBTI and keep discussions at a level that conforms with the forum rules. I'll just go ahead and get you guys up to speed by posting my own results right here. I'm quite clearly classified as INFP-T according to this test. It's funny to see how I've developed my personality across 8 years, as I used to be borderline INTP/INTJ, always sort of in the grey area. My current result, however, seems to be very clear and very expressive about me being INFP by heart. Things like "Never stop dreaming" and "Keep holding on" seem to pop up here, and I think it's pretty accurate of the kind of dwagin I am. Here's my percentage results: So what's your MBTI? I'm truly curious to see what personalities you all have within this test. It's always fascinating to see what kind of people you all are Feel free to post your results below, and discuss stuff

Check if there is a DirectX 12 update available in Windows Update. If it is already up to date I am not sure what you can do, other than what you already tried :/

To me this doesn't look as much like a general graphics driver problem, more like a DirectX problem. Apparently dxdiag doesn't give you any problems but I'd consider reinstalling your DirectX 12 driver (rather than just your graphics card's driver).

Please don't give any misinformation, I'm serious. 2292

Hmmm that might get me hooked onto the RP again...

We're working on it

The possibility is there, yes. I would certainly help certain players to accelerate their way into a completed game if they deem that necessary. Again, nothing is sure yet but it is an idea that's being discussed. If we do, however, you can be assured that gaining BFP freely will still be way more accessible and gained at a much, much faster pace than ever before, and likely faster than your average F2P business model.

Rage about EA aside, which I do not encourage, you won't be seeing their logo in it as they don't publish Skylords Reborn and we are not affiliated with them as stated in the main post. What you will see, however, is Phenomic's logo as they developed the original game and we are to credit them for that.

Thanks for watching guys, 's been a pleasure

We're talking about completely new game editions there, that would qualify as us making a new BF game which we do not. Card editions are a possibility though! I've edited the topic accordingly

Update: We are no longer part of Ardent Peak. Due to differences in interest and vision of the direction of the project, we have since parted on good terms from Ardent Peak and gone our own way. Update from Ultrakool: Due to this separation and other circumstances most of the information given in this thread is now outdated. Greetings Skylords, Skyladies, and Skyfolks! It's been a while since our last major announcement. However, since yesterday there has been some extremely big news. Now, we have been in touch with a friend of Blank, who owns an American Business called Ardent Peak. He managed to actually get in touch with Electronic Arts and have a talk with them regarding BattleForge. This means that, after a correspondence with EA we are now allowed to run our project provided that we adhere to specific guidelines and do not claim we are affiliated with them. We will be developing the project under the company Ardent Peak.This is absolutely great news as we will have next to no complications with EA about the project are allowed to develop it freely. If they have any issues with what they are doing they will contact the owner of Ardent Peak rather than send us shutdown notices. Skylords Reborn will be the name of a new custom server for the game BattleForge, originally developed by EA Phenomic, now hosted by Ardent Peak. Electronic Arts allowed us to run this project, through Ardent Peak, permission to set up a server for the game (resources not provided). Skylords Reborn is now identified as a 100% legal project under an official business. Ardent peak holds official responsibility and ownership of the project but the existing hierarchy remains the same under that; Blank and Hawk are founders, and them and I remain administrators/bosses of the project. I remain community manager and lead designer as well, and every other staff member retains their role as it was. We have also been allowed to alter the BattleForge client to our desires, on a few conditions: We are to remove EA's logo and name from our project, as Skylords Reborn is not affiliated with EA. We will be referring to Phenomic as the original developers of BattleForge. We are not to release any paid DLC or paid updates for the game. We ARE allowed to commercialise the game to the extent that we are allowed to gain money for the project, and this opens up quite some future opportunities. We will never be making the game Pay2Win or Pay2Play. We'll be able to alter the server in such a way to release additional content but NOT completely new versions or new game editions, as that would fall under the DLC/Updates part mentioned above. New card editions and maps are a possibility, however! Remember though, we are still currently focused on getting the game up to its original state first and foremost. We are considering upping the marketing aspect of our project, which may result in possible advertising and/or kickstarter projects. We will be cranking up development a lot, in order to get the game to you guys as soon as we can. We are in touch with EA in case there are any questions and issues. We will be thinking about all these decisions carefully and further news will follow in the future. Donations are now up again and properly referred to Ardent Peak Future possibilities for the game are aplenty! We are all really excited to bring you this news and it creates a whole new, brighter and closer future for the entire Skylords Reborn project, and it has caused massive new opportunities to arise for us. We're heading in the right direction and we hope to be bringing you all into the forge as soon as we can. Know that aside from the aforementioned list, the project and its directions stay the same, and I will be updating the FAQ accordingly once further decisions have been considered. Finally, I would like to add a message from Ardent Peak: Thank you all, mighty Skylords, for your continued support in our endeavours. Keep the hype up, stay awesome, and we hope to be carrying this community into a bright, opportunity-filled future, but most importantly... into the Forge! We're all in this together and we'd be nowhere without you guys, so thanks again for all your support, keep it up and we will open the gateway to Nyn once more, united as one!
