Walking Endurance?

Munsia

Been away a bit clearly, but has something increased the cost of endurance? I'm dropping from 18k to like 8k with a simple trip around the basin with no afflictions in the way of chest stuff....

Munsia

Weather system now increases endurance cost?

Rami

Eww, I certainly hope not. There's enough of that sort of thing in MKO. You don't need it here too.

Does weather have anything to do with willpower drain? A single bashing trip through quinotaurs completely killed my willpower. I ended up having to spend 1 1/2 hours meditating it back. If nothing else puts players off of bashing, that mess will. Who wants to log in to spend all that time meditating when you can do -nothing- else during it?

Willpower has been a running issue for ages, and endurance might have been for warriors as well. That's nothing new as a willpower/endurance using class for bashing purposes. As a mage, however, my -walking- was reducing my endurance.  There's a reason there are multiple regen gems/artifacts/chairs and such to assist in this.

I didn't think that weather had an effect on endurance. It certainly does on speed. But, if weather does have an effect, check what you are wearing. For example, being overdressed in summer slows you down because you are sweltering. And being underdressed in winter does the same thing because you are freezing.

Munsia

Sigh, I'm not talking about being slow though unless being slower effects endurance somehow? Endurance is lost with every step you take but I seem to be taking a lot more than I use to because as I said, one trip around the basin to gather simple bards/scholars takes me down a whole 10k endurance. Below is a list of defenses and diagnose in case any of these maybe just had a drain placed upon them recently (or increased)

Side thought, could Marani be doing it when I run through the mountains?

Ssaliss

Hmm. Walking around normally, I drain four endurance per step. If I get a hasty message, I still lose two endurance. Weather or terrain doesn't seem to affect it, at least based on my very short test.

Iasmos

Ssaliss

Define "brute force speedwalking"?

Enyalida

I need to move twenty rooms west, and don't have any data on my hasty limit. Therefore, I will spam west until I hit hasty, wait a second, repeat spamming west until I hit hasty, and so on. If I lag, I may hit the hasty message a few times before I quit moving that way to wait for it to go back.

That sort of thing. Remember that in high weather, you get one move before you hit hasty. If you step out onto the mountains in the winter unprepared, that's where you likely will be: one room hasty limit.

Ssaliss

Ah. Well, I did state that getting a hasty message does still cost you two endurance, so that would increase the endurance cost, yes.

I'm not sure how long quinotaurs take, but if you use Kirigami it will restore half of your willpower after it decays which takes 1 hour. At lower levels of levels with low discipline willpower isn't sustainable forever. (Which stinks honestly) but kirigami helps quite a bit. I don't believe that weather has anything to do with willpower drain.

Arimisia

I have been making a few newbies for a project I am working on and have noticed this is an issue. while it is quick to regain as such low level (because you have so little to begin with), I never had this problem before when creating an alt, it is something newer that the whole weather system. and as a novice when you are running around because the fate told you too and you run our of endurance, kinda sucks.

I think what they were meaning is the weather is slowing me down and I'm hitting hasty messages more which cause further drain. Just a guess. Also a side note may be the kirigami that I never noticed it in the past because of always having one up, but still 10k endurance doesn't seem right just for speedy trip around the basin. The numbers add up though. Couple thousand rooms x 4 with no regen arti

Rialorm

Have noticed this too. I thought it was actually an intended effect of stealth agility. But if everyone has it, that clears that up then. I personally find it to be horribly annoying and off-putting. I also seem to recall @Estarra saying that endurance and willpower is something they'd like to get rid off (possibly in the combat overhaul?).

Everiine

Could it be tied to the current wonkiness that SOMEONE let loose on the Basin? *peer*

Karlach

I've noticed a general higher endurance loss since the weather went crazytown.
