The well-Balanced Yamamoto-san Gets Caught up in a Death Game

Chapter 10.5

[Serious] Thread to discuss Death Game Part 11 [Discussion]

[Anonymous Death Game Player] So, how’s it going for you guys?

[Anonymous Death Game Player] It’s all crap, I haven’t left the town

[Anonymous Death Game Player] Same here. Just surviving day by day with errand quests

[Anonymous Death Game Player] The real pain was a bad move by the organizers It reduced the number of people going outside

[Anonymous Death Game Player] Seriously, that shit hurts

[Anonymous Death Game Player] But you know, while we’re here complaining, some people are actually making progress

[Anonymous Death Game Player] I respect them

[Anonymous Death Game Player] Those guys must be insane

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Where are the progress-makers now?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

The human faction is exploring the path to the third city

Don’t know about the monster side

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

I heard the monster side is also exploring the path to the third city

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Hmm. Sounds like they’re making steady progress

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Steady? Isn’t the pace too slow?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Hint: It’s a Death Game

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Your life is on the line

Of course people are being cautious

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

I get that, but still…

When you think about how long it’ll take to be released at this pace…

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Then why don’t you go out and do your best! lol

Thread to discuss the Heroes Part 15 [You guys are our hope!]

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

This is a thread to discuss the heroes, those tough-minded individuals who continue to make progress despite the Death Game.

They are very valuable to us, so let’s refrain from personal attacks.

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Hero Introduction ①

【Berserker】 Axel’s Gang

A four-person party consisting of the leader warrior Axel, a thief, a mage, and a sister.

Even though the pain settings are realistic, Axel is insanely crazy for charging at monsters without fear and constantly drawing aggro.

His nickname became “Berserker”.

While Axel is famous, the party’s negotiator is the mage Crow. He’s also quite hot-headed, so be careful when negotiating with him.

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Hero Introduction ②

【Dark Princess】 Gang

A party centered around Aika, who has the unique healing skill [Saint].

They usually form a group of four to six people.

The core members seem to be two tanks and a mage, with additional warriors or thieves added when they need more firepower.

They’re incredibly tough.

Wounds heal instantly, so even with pain settings at max, it’s not too bad for them.

Also, Aika-chan is beautiful…

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Hero Introduction ③

SUCCEED

A group of professional gamers.

Led by their ace Mitarai, they have a track record of clearing numerous VR games. Their skills are solid.

They’re the main contenders for clearing the game.

Currently recruiting sacrifices to find the most efficient skill builds.

If you want to provide information at the cost of your own build, feel free to do so.

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

The hero introductions are nice, but aren’t there any on the monster side?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

There aren’t many fixed parties on the monster side

There are a few standout individuals, but most are either solo or join pick-up groups

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

I’d still like to hear about them…

Without that, there’s just too little hope…

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Hey, don’t die, okay? I mean it, seriously

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Alright. I’ll post some.

Monster Hero Introduction ①

Sara

A vampire dual-sword user.

Everyone who’s seen her says she’s insanely fast, so she might be specializing in agility.

Probably due to vampire traits, she only acts at night and doesn’t belong to any fixed party.

She seems to dislike people, so it’s best to just watch from afar without trying to talk to her

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Monster Hero Introduction ②

Tuna Can is Delicious ♪

A solo Ogre player.

After being kicked out of parties for being dangerous with his huge axe, he’s been playing solo ever since.

His attack range and power are exceptionally strong, so fighting near him can get you caught in the damage.

There are many confusing reports like “I almost died from friendly fire, but it ended up saving me when I was about to lose in battle”.

He’s actually a nice guy.

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Monster Hero Introduction ③

(*´ω｀*)

A rare dragon species player.

Seems to have high stats and a unique self-regeneration skill, making them an excellent tank.

With the fixed pain settings, tank roles have decreased, making them a relatively more valuable and rare player.

They usually play in pick-up groups and don’t have a fixed party.

They don’t seem very focused on clearing the game and appear to be just enjoying it normally.

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Seems like there are a lot of weirdos on the monster side, huh?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

It’s a parade of eccentrics

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

No intention of clearing the game lol

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

I don’t want these guys to be our hope…

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

I mean, anyone who can keep playing the game in this situation must have a screw loose somewhere.

Even Axel is like that…

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

It’s not okay to use Axel-san as the representative of weirdos

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

When these guys make progress and can form clans, do we have to join one of their clans? I don’t want to…

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Isn’t that up to you?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

They’ll need manpower for progress

Even if you can’t defeat monsters, you can still gather materials or craft items

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Then why don’t we all just form one big clan?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

At least SUCCEED won’t join together

They see this situation as an opportunity

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

A death game is a big deal after all.

If pros solve it, wouldn’t they get some kind of commendation?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

If I had to choose, I’d want to join a clan with a cute girl as the leader.

I want to fawn over the Dark Princess

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Why is Aika called the Dark Princess?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Because she’s dark-skinned

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Her outfit is all black, and her appearance is princess-level beautiful

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

We’ve got a Dark Princess worshipper here

Go to the personal thread

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Okay~

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Okay~

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Okay~

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

And then there were none

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Don’t mess around (ʘ言ʘ╬)

…

[Anything goes] LIA Chat Thread Part 76 [OK!]

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Hey, listen to this!

I was fighting monsters outside the town, and suddenly my partner disappeared!

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

PK?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Just turn yourself in

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

I didn’t do it!

I’m asking because I don’t understand what happened!

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

That’s not how you ask for help

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Die

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Oh, it’s probably that

An external death

Their family or someone must have removed their gear

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Huh? It’s been over two weeks already!

Why would they remove it now?!

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

I don’t know. Maybe there are economic issues?

Or they got tired of taking care of someone in a vegetative state

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

This isn’t just someone else’s problem…

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

We are definitely burdening our families

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Hey, who did it?!

Who made it impossible to register with the commerce guild in Evil Grande?

I had to go all the way to the next town!

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Humble brag, nice

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

I was wondering about that, so it works in other cities?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

By the way, it’s still blocked in Evil Grande

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Those who were planning to take production jobs are completely dead now

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

I mean, having to risk danger to go to the next city just to take a production job is basically suicide

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

You might end up taking combat skills to reach the next city, and then not have enough points left for production skills

Quite an ordeal

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Well, the person who did it is probably regretting it now, right?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Nice try, culprit

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

No, it’s not me lol

This game clearly has NPC affinity levels, so they’re probably getting some minor harassment right now

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

There’s an affinity system?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

If you complete lots of guild quests, the reception girl’s attitude obviously becomes softer, right?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Ah, so that wasn’t just my imagination

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

With high affinity, you might get special requests

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

My friend apparently got friendly with an NPC adventurer by drinking with them every day, and they taught him some skills

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Is there some kind of master-apprentice system?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Who knows? But anyway, it means you can’t just do whatever you want to NPCs and expect to get away with it

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Whoever did something reckless should be trembling in fear

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

*Shaking and trembling*

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

What did you do? lol

…

[Recruiting Collaborators] LIA Strategy & Analysis Thread Part 76

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

In the end, what’s the deal with humans, magical beings, and monsters?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

If we can reach the third town, things should get a bit easier

I heard at the tavern that we’ll be able to take on jobs other than the basic ones

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Yeah, but we can’t even get there

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

I wonder if we could somehow tag along with the progress teams?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

What level are the top players now?

Have they passed 20?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

I’ve heard they’re in the mid-teens

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Let’s say the top player’s level is 15

Then their stats would have increased by 30, though randomly

If by chance that all concentrated on one parameter, and the initial value was 10, it would become 40, right?

Then if they put all 30 SP gained from leveling up into that outstanding parameter, it would become a monstrous stat of 100 specialized in one skill.

If that happened to be physical attack, I wonder if they could one-punch all enemies?

[Anonyous Death Game Player]

First off, that premise is unlikely.

Also, I’ve seen a few people who focused heavily on attack power, but they struggled against fast-moving monsters.

One-punching everything seems impossible, doesn’t it?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Besides, 100 isn’t nearly enough.

You’d need at least 1000, wouldn’t you?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

From what I heard from the progress team, having balanced stats is easier for dealing with monsters than focusing on just one stat.

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Specialization is romantic!

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

But if you spread everything out evenly, wouldn’t you be weak?

You’d need stats that somewhat match your role, right?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

If that’s the case, everyone’s stats would end up looking pretty similar…

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

That’s where skills come into play

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Well, chasing after monstrous stats isn’t something we should be doing anyway

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

The basics are to balance your stats so you don’t die

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

I feel like some of the top players have maxed out certain stats though…

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

Those guys manage because their playing skills are high…

The question is, can you max out agility and fight using the Owata style?

[Anonymous Death Game Player]

I see. So the top players really are a bit crazy after all…
