I support removing aeon just to watch certain members of Hallifax spiral into a meltdown over how much the admin/envoys hate them and how unfair the game is.

Oh Celina, so impartial and never making it personal. How could anyone find fault in his absolutely objective and logical ways.

I think it's pretty funny that you grudge so hard that you can't even tell what's just light humor, and automatically assume people you don't like are as personally spiteful as you are. Should learn to relax and breathe.
edit: They usually don't! My reports over the years have always gotten approved.
I've argued about removing aeon before, and I'm not going to rehash that in this thread and derail it.
The problem with a the Tae'dae bearhug currently is that it gives a regen affliction. It costs 4s balance, and the affliction it gives also costs 4s time to cure - that means taking latency into consideration, a tae'dae could literally keep that affliction on the person forever.
It's harder to capitalize on other regen afflictions because it lacks the interaction with aeon, but aeon + collapsedlung isn't particularly unbalancing (beyond aeon's imbalance by itself, but like I said, that's a digression that belongs in another thread)
Raeri's comment that changing it to a non-regen affliction will make bearhugs pretty much useless until the physical overhaul goes through is also correct - if it is an instant-cure, a single affliction at 4s balance is almost certainly going to be useless. However, as long as it is a regen affliction, a degree of overpoweredness will exist, because of that 4s delay. The choice is ultimately up to the admin, but my suggestion is that if the physical overhaul is going to take an indefinite amount of time (no clear timeline, no clear deadline, no clear implementation date) then biting the bullet and nerfing bearhug might be the better choice.
It wouldn't change much for current tae'dae players, because old bearhug was useless anyway, and when the physical overhaul is finally implemented, the resulting buff (for going from underpowered to viable) will make the players feel better than if it was a nerf (going from overpowered to "normally" viable).
You'll want to attach runes to pieces of clothing that you will wear all the time instead of equipment you may or may not swap out when you classflex, change guilds etc.
While there's a level of well laid theorycraft here, we've been careful throughout this implementation to not knee-jerk nerf things based on potential. If it becomes a pandemic issue, we'll look at it. But we'll also take into account how soon the physical overhaul is likely to be deployed (which really should be soon, keep contributing to the discussion there!)
As for Aeon and people's opinion, I don't want to stifle discussion but this isn't the thread for it, feel free to open a new one. I will say it's unlikely we'd remove Aeon as a whole, but the option to rework it isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

I don't really grudge hard on people; I think I'm pretty open to people overall, and if I act like a dicklord, I try to own up to it.
You're just a really toxic person, is all. It makes me sad that you have to be Celina IRL and hate everyone that's not Glom or something.
I genuinely wish you'd go be a "raging alcoholic" elsewhere. Go back to whatever you were doing before you came back.
Bye Felixa!
When you find yourself about to post something like this, it's time to press "save draft" instead of "post comment," go out for a walk or a take a nice soothing bath, then come back to your computer and delete the draft.
You're probably right, and I should edit it to say nothing also, but you can't really take back what you say IRL, so I don't see the reason in editing it away now. I'll deal with it, as per usual.
The reason for the "raging alcoholic" comment is because he's mentioned it several times and appears to be trying to glamourize it or something asinine like that. He said it, not me!
The most telling part about your posts, Maligorn, is how you refer to Celina as "him" even though Celina is female ingame, and obviously logged on as Celina in the forums.
My respect for you is nosediving, bro. You really do need to take some time off.

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.

I thought Fleek was that hummingbird on Pocahontas.

I just hope you don't get a lot of flak for saying the fact that Flick's on fleek.

A line from the 1995 film "Friday" starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker that is becoming increasingly popular for no reason. Just like twerking, it has been around and well established for many years, but has recently become more mainstream as white girls attempt to use it, most often incorrectly and oblivious to its origin.

Fun combo for warriors: Be your org race, get your weapon spec as secondary race. Demigods don't even need a pendant for it!
Fun combo for Hallifaxians: Lucidian/Trill. (Would this actually work?)
As for myself, if I could afford a wonder pipe, I'd go illithoid second for their kata spec. But then, if I could afford a wonder pipe, I'd buy a wonder wand instead.

Can someone confirm this? Doing this if it works like that.

After all, they allowed both the minstrel and dreamweaving changes. A clear conspiracy for Gaudiguch and against Hallifax.
