  • Viscanti are jealous of literally everyone, in every spec *and* unspecced.

    Don't have to say it, it's just a sad fact of life.

    Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

    What in the world for? I run unspecced dracnari quite often. Mage-specced drac has absolutely awesome stats. I'll take it over lucidian in a heartbeat.

    Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
  • it's pretty much an objective fact how much viscanti suck unfortunately
  • LavinyaLavinya Queen of Snark Australia
    Let's compare Irontongue Viscanti with every other spec bard race and see who is the gimp of the group. I get more CHA as a brewmeister dwarf, for goodness sake.

    That said, if you're using your chord or minorsecond for damage kills (the only meaningful thing that scales to charisma) you're doing something very very wrong. Bashing totally sucks though.

    Dunno what Enyalida is going on about but minorseconds and xchords are great.

  • SynkarinSynkarin Nothing to see here
    I distinctly remember @Enyalida complaining about a minorsecond with jealousy doing 3k compared to it's usual 2k damage to her. 2k is pretty great for any damage attack

    Let's not forget dischordantchord people. It's certainly my more viable method of tearing people apart with damage, and yep, it's magical (charisma).



  • How the hell are you sticking bard affs without octave working?
    Take great care of yourselves and each other.
  • LavinyaLavinya Queen of Snark Australia
    Octave is working, or it was. It's just that steam is on a separate balance to earwort so technically one can become deaf and cure an auric at the same time (where before herb balance was needed after eating earwort first). Last Llandros and I tested aurics in octave still couldn't be cured unless the person was deaf, but if this is not still the case someone please enlighten me, as granted that was a few weeks ago now.

    If you're using dchord in groups, you have a pretty locked down opponent (and arguably, you should be minorsixthing instead).

    Jealousy is a bad mechanic, that uniquely punishes people for using love in a way they can do nothing about, and in a manner that encourages bards to use fewer of their skills, which is poor design.

    It's like playing a low int druid: Totally possible. Still sucks, and your'e going to have a bad time bashing to demigod+... but after that, the extra damage is totally gratuitous and unnecessary: all of your core class strategies are aff based. That race choice is being decided on the basis of which makes damage spamming in combat better is a flaw, not a good thing.

    Blame namegen. Blame Phoebus and someone recent who is not me but I forget who it was playing with namegen.
    Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.
  • VivetVivet , of Cows and Crystals
    Yeah. Both those names were genuinely produced by namgen for lucidian male/female. It only makes it that much better.
  • SynkarinSynkarin Nothing to see here
    Yeah, octave isn't working currently, but it's been brought up and bugged

    I still don't see how minorsecond damage in the 2k range is doing something wrong. People complain about destruction and it typically does less. 

    and jealousy doesn't punish people, it trades off increased damage for not being hit by the passive song effects that you, @Enyalida, were trying to argue are sooo important to bard combat. It also makes using love potion and lusting a risk.

  • A risk to Dramaturgists, which is Celest and Hallifax only basically.

  • You examine a sixth pinch of powdered chocolate curio piece of the Chocolate 

    Bottle Curio Set carefully, before carefully touching it to a partial chocolate 

    bottle curio piece of the Chocolate Bottle Curio Set. A brief flash of light 

    reveals that the two pieces have joined together, finally completing a bottle of

    powdered chocolate.


    You sprinkle a bottle of powdered chocolate over a slice of double-kafet whiskey

    gateau, which glows and then transforms into a chocolate bar.

    Possibly the best changelog ever...for Hallifaxians, anyway. Especially the novices and power-gatherers. Thank you, @Ieptix!

    Spheres can be targeted by colour! In Hallifax's power quest! This is now a thing! Thank you @Ieptix!

    This is awesome. That has been a request/question for as long as I can remember playing in Hallifax. This must be amazing for blind players too. Thank you, @Ieptix!
