Re: Looking to Relocate

If it helps, we have a really strong contingent of GMT/EU based people in the Havens! So there are people on both sides who get what it's like to be in the lower population side of timezones. And you'll find that some orgs have stronger PST leanings than others, so if you take Aramel's suggestion of trying a few places you can also use that to find people who are more in your playtime.

Welcome to Lusternia!

Re: Looking to Relocate

Hey Amreen, glad to have you here. I think one of the ways in which Lusternia differentiates itself from Aetolia is that it is a lot more org/city focused. This can be a good or a bad thing depending on how you like to play your character, but for me personally it gave me a closer connection with my citymates in Hallifax, for example, which I didn't find in other IRE games and which caused me to come back to Lusternia intermittently for well over a decade. Re: comparing roleplay in Lusternia and Aetolia, a lot depends on what you want to roleplay as, and I encourage you to make a preliminary character and pop in and out of a few orgs to see how you like things and themes before you settle down on one particular thing.

Re: Enhancement Runes are REALLY expensive

The enhancements for weapons or armour pretty much suck universally. Minor bonuses that are absolutely necessary, but have such a small impact....the fact that Warriors take nine forevers to get anywhere is the only reason their purchase would be noticable. A 0.1s speed buff? What kind of insulting enhancement is that, deals with the client-server lag, but we see how 'fast' Warriors are in general...

So aside from the rest with Warriors, they could get looked at for value, would be nice. 500cr for Armour enhancement slots, yet charms are a single +1 value difference and take up a whole slot for one enhancement/resistance of that value, so a 2% change. Wooboy. I'm with Xenthos, never bought one nor shall I. Went Aethersuit, 3 slots with Master (forging), all I'd ever need. Buying with aethergoop is more accessible, so not even a question of affordability for me, just no point.

Justice is 1vs 1 - there is no team. It is down to the person's skill

There is a limit to how skilled one can be at debating, and it is a threshold that almost anyone can reach, given even a passing interest in attempting it. To say that the person who wins any given debate is the most skilled debater is simply false. Yes, those who do well in Justice will be those who put in more effort than most, but the winner won't necessarily be the one who worked the hardest or is the "best" - they are as likely to just be luckier.

So, no, the org that can convince enough people to attend and put in a passing amount of effort into winning will be the one whom the odds favor.

Re: Targeting Malus

Lol @ Nature not being influenced by numbers. People figuring out their clues on an independent basis will make the entire org move faster.

Re: NuEnvoys

I was wondering why no one was saying it, and why I didn't say it sooner. Wtf are these numbers.

Re: Unpopular Opinion: Lusternia Edition

It’s fine to “raid off-peak”! Just because they’re not incredibly active during your prime doesn’t mean you can’t do anything. Everyone has and will do it, the complaints come when you’re the “victim”
