You have one month to update Fenrir to refuse enemies of Magnagora before I remove it from the
Portal Chamber.
My manse perms literally allowed one person to enter it: Orventa, who isn't enemied.

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.

@Dramshanks, I'm not sure if you're still around, but I wanted to re-express how much I adore the Cult of the Black Chalice Path. The concept and intrigue you built with it is incredibly compelling and explores a dark side of the Auguries I'm hoping to see much more of; the tasks are fascinatingly audacious and if I were going through the progression myself I know I would find myself thoroughly entertained. Well done, well done.

Her voice firm and commanding, Terentia, the Even Bladed says to you, "You have kept your oath to Me, Parhelion. You have sworn to maintain Justice in these troubled times."
Yet if a boon be granted me, unworthy as I am, let it be for a steady hand with a clear eye and a fury most inflaming.
Am almost ready to leave PK behind again for a while. It seems no matter how much time I invest into trying to get better, it's always 'death in 30 seconds' and it's starting to get to me. I'm sure there's plenty of stuff am still getting wrong and as long as I see a road to improvement, that would be fine for me, but I'm currently not seeing it and it's feeling as if am wasting my time, which isn't the best of things.
We've had some feedback from multiple places that the Disagree and Lol reactions have not served to improve the forums experience. We added these with the aim to see how things went and remove them if necessary, and ultimately have come to agree with the feedback that they are not a positive addition. Whilst many people used these reactions well, this was not always the case, in part because both reactions can be taken in both a positive or negative light.
By all means laugh at the hilarious memes and disagree with the opinions of others, but let's do it through active discourse - that way your disagreements can be properly heard and worked out, and your laughter can be understood as shared, not malicious.

I feel like the insightful response will be the go-to response if you remove disagree.

Hmm. I kind of like insightful; to me it indicates "there is something worth thinking about here." It comes across as a milder form of agreement in my mind. I would not be particularly crushed if it was to go away, but it doesn't have the same inherent flaws of the others in my mind.
Note: I was torn between insightful and heart on Aonia's post, and I would have given you an insightful for raising a point worth talking about if you had not expressed that you thought it might be a negative.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying "insightful" is inherently negative. I'm just saying people often use it that way.
Much in the same way that the "isee" emote is sometimes "I understand" and sometimes "this person is an idiot".

From now on, going to reply to hilarious posts with a single post of: Lol.
Agreed they were silly. For example, disagreeing on a picrew picture struck me as nothing but trolling. Still a shame, sometimes i -do- disagree and it can be helpful to see that something is agreed with or NOT by a number of players. Alas. Petition to add a 'hrm' button for those inbetween times!
Disagree was fine, LOL was used exactly how we told you guys it would be used. Not strictly as a way to laugh, but also to ridicule people for their opinions.
If you complained directly after Ascension that "the community has degenerated into a toxic cesspool", but you've went out of your way since then to be toxic and raid constantly, know that I have little or no personal respect for you anymore as a player.

So if insightful can be used sarcastically... Can I assume that "heart" actually stands for the Southern colloquialism "bless your heart?"
If you understand this reference, please don't like or agree. I'll just have to spend to spend more time questioning what these flags really mean.
"Chairwoman," Princess Setisoki states, holding up a hand in a gesture for her to stop and returning the cup. "That would be quite inappropriate. One of the males will serve me."
