Gladiator

I used to think the same, but I feel like it's not necessary anymore, recently many items that give additional mana regen were added like on amulets and boots, and you can enchant mana regen on 3 items, and the guild passive. I think you just need to sacrifice some stats which is fair, and not spam all skills at once.

Yeah I was afraid that I messed up in something and didn't meet the judges' criteria in some way, and that's why my story isn't on the poll, I hope that's not the case and thanks for everyone who voted for me. 🙂

Yes, prestige costume and skins too. But I don't know how I feel about keeping the gears you already had, I think that you wouldn't need to get anything again (and amp them). I understand that it would make the option less appealing to people with Arena rewards for example, but that's why it's an option I guess. And on the other hand, I think it should be more rewarding to prestige, the more equipment you had and the more amplified they were (maybe some gold return) Keeping gold and other currencies and maybe even rare costumes is fine. Oh and I disagree on changing classes.

So pretty much like a "Prestige" concept, I like it.

I don't know and I don't really care. Would you rather be physically disabled but with great Intelligence, like Einstein intelligence level, or be as you are now?

Nice topic, already seen it on Russian forum, thanks for putting it on International as well

1- Mother Russia 2- Sergei Sergeyevich Bodrov 3- Brother I kinda cheated a bit, his name is found on the picture's name I don't have anyone in mind now, without making it too easy or too hard.

Congratulations to the winners, #1 is absolutely deserved! My vote goes to the legendary dummy killer

Wtf big no to that. This is the dumbest idea I've seen on the forum.

I really had fun writing my story and the process of brainstorming ideas for it, it won't really matter if I win. Good luck everyone!

What's next? Wickedora and Midnight Owl?

Oh that last line gave me chills! Even currently as a devoted Paladin, I wonder if Harad would ever forsake me.

Parry on cape and hammer, and resistance enchants on helmet, boots, and amulet would be better in my opinion. And I would change 1 ring to penetration and the belt to mana regeneration. And I do not think the full magic is better than full physical damage with 1handed mace. But if you want magic, that's what I think: https://db.warspear.pp.ua/calc/en/26881

Btw need to edit sam hain to make look like the actual boss, it just looks like the pumpkin jack suit but with a difference color.

I actually read the whole thing Good stuff man, good luck! The problem is that I had to read the longer version to fully understand what's going on exactly, the shortened version felt a little incomplete, but hey, maybe that's just me. Still definitely a winner candidate.

Alright SlrDmg, if you think account sharing is legal, and since you already almost admitted sharing, then write down the names of the characters that you and your friends share, they won't get banned 🙂

In an ancient city controlled by cruel rulers, lived lifeless people, wore lifeless clothes, had lifeless jobs. Whenever someone decided to do something unusual or not normal, they were sentenced to suffer, in a lifeless room full of people, that once wanted to live. The fate of those convicted people was mostly death, they were called to fight monsters in Colosseums to try to entertain people, but even such events were lifeless and had no joy for the spectators, the gladiators, on the other hand, had fun and didn’t feel the lifelessness, even though their fate could be death at any moment. That was the life in Vita. Legend says, one of the gladiators used to write journals. It is told that some scattered papers of his journals were found. (IMPORTANT: Reading the journals is optional, it will not affect the plot of the story, it is just a closer insight to the minds of the characters) Occasionally, the prison’s owners specially summon a skillful blacksmith from a different place called Arinar to repair the weapons of the prisoned gladiators, because he knew more about weapons than the repairers of Vita. He also brought the gladiators rare curing herbs that only could be found in Arinar. People of Arinar were known for their perfection in making weapons, armors, jewelry, and magical potions and scrolls. One Gladiator was interested in this world, because he noticed something different on the repairer, he looked, spoke, and acted very differently from what he’d normally see in Vita. The Gladiator was already familiar with Arinar, he heard great things about that place. “Is it true what they say about Arinar?” Gladiator asked. “Yes, it is” the repairer confirmed and then he added, “It’s a place where you can have the best life, but also the worst one. There is a lot to adventure, but also a lot to fear. It’s no place for the weak, the coward, or the poor…” “The poor?!” Gladiator interrupted. The repairer continued, “Yes, but those don’t live long, you either fade away or die quickly, or live long enough to be one of the greatest legends of Arinar. But you can’t accomplish anything on your own, you need to join a group of other warriors that have the same intentions as you, and together, you’d overcome hardships, competing against other merciless warriors and conquering powerful castles, and on top of that, collecting valuable treasures. But I warn you, it is also not a place for the greedy and the selfish.” Then he left. The Gladiator was mesmerized by everything he’d heard and wanted to go to Arinar. However, he felt frustrated; he didn’t know how to escape this prison, even though he was promised to get his freedom multiple times if he kills a certain number of monsters, but he’s been lied to. Moreover, he saw many of the gladiators with blatant convictions getting their freedom, and he is still stuck, and that bothered him. He furiously yelled at the Prison guard, “How do I get out of here?!” not expecting a reasonable answer. But the guard answered, “25 shiny coins.” The Gladiator was baffled, and didn’t know what kind of coins he meant, and he wrote everything down in his journal. He left a hidden message on the paper and planned to give it to the repairer when he comes the next time, hoping that he’d decipher the message and help him. The blacksmith decides to pay the price to free Gladiator, but he asks him not to escape Vita, because he knew that Gladiator was one of the type that he warned from. Just like the gladiators before him. But Gladiator’s greed didn’t hold him back, and he managed to escape Vita. Remainings of the announcements made by the Vitans, it is told that they were spread in several villages in and outside Arinar This paper is reported to be found by the Vitans as they were following the traces of Gladiator in his escape He started looking for the repairer in a town called Gasphel, and he had no ‘thanks’ for him in his mind. After a while he found his allies and friends, and he forgot about his life and family in Vita, he completely got isolated; he is now trapped in Arinar, that has become his new soul prison, unlike Vita – a physical prison. Legends say that the body of Master Torsen was found near a set of papers, only one of them was found, the rest is lost. The End Moral of the story: That's it for me 🙂 Good luck for everyone! P.S. I thought a lot about whether I should add those handwritten journals. Obviously, the story alone is 3000 letters, so if the journals are counted, it will be like 10k or something. But I hope that the judges don’t count the journals, as I said, they are an optional and an additional reading for anyone interested. I would understand if I get disqualified because of it, but in my defense, I say that they are completely irrelevant to the plot, you can just ignore them and nothing is gonna change, I just thought it’d be a cool idea to add for more details, and a closer look to the characters mind, that would be a waste of letters if I would add that to the main story. https://charactercounttool.com/ 2995 letters in the main story: without spaces and without the small notes about the pictures

Looks like we could see what those papers are! Sneak peek #2

Life. Would you rather have nipple sized penis or penis sized nipples?

Made me laugh, but I don't know if it fits this contest.

Russians have already 3 pages of stories on their contest thread... Where are the internationals? It's looking good for me Anyway, here is a little sneak peek of my story

you can make it as someone who's transgender and call it "it".

What does that mean btw?

Ever since castles existed, there should have been new ranks for the guilds. That would solve this issue too.

Are those rewards sets merchandise sets or new arena rewards
