  • I was poking around on the Achaea forums (haven't played in years,) but Sarapis had started a thread about documenting classes, and linked to this:

  • I've always loved Lusternia's history, but I've never really gotten into the in-game creations by players.

    For the past few days I've spent tons of time in libraries reading scholarly submissions. Really quality stuff out there,…
  • So what I'm saying is if they are at crit, it uses a different wound table.
  • I'm not talking about X gets calculated, I'm talking about how "trifling range" gets calculated. 
  • Where is that range number coming from? The system has to calculate it at one point, and it seems to calculate it based on the targets wound level.  I feel like you would alter that range calculation code to return different values if they are …
  • I don't know how exactly it's coded so I don't know how hard it would be, but he's saying that at critical wounds you would take that 400 range of getting lacerate or nothing and distribute it across the other ranges.

    So at crit…
  • Well, some free illusions would be needed for combat, like things that aren't afflictions or aren't targetable, like a focus mind illusion.
  • It would be more work, but you could even add an ability to all the druidry/mancer specs to let you configure the order they hit.
  • That works too...I'm wondering how it would work from a programming perspective.

    The game would have compare any line you illusion to all affliction lines (using regex or something to parse character names) and figure out what a…
  • If the illusion is OOC then so is the affline.

    Delete afflines. >_>

  • My one suggestion for mage/druid combat specifically: 

    Automatically make all demesne effects hit at the same time, regardless of when they were cast. 

    I would say let the meld have a 10 second timer. …
  • I want to reiterate Shuyin's request to make the AB files more specific. It would even be nice if the AB file offered links to the "whatcures" file because it's not even always obvious what the name of the affliction is that your ability gives.
  • (Quote) I took "spread across everything else" to mean remove the ability to roll that low.
  • (Quote) I think he wants to remove the ability to roll that low.
  • (Quote) As a Hallifaxian, I cannot. Plus I just spent a bunch of money getting unenemied to all the Celest/Seren organizations.

    However, I've been thinking about rolling a monk alt, I just can't decide between Nekot…
  • I want to destroy something beautiful.
  • Yeah, I have bodyguard and RoA.  I have a TF/h/m/e blessing sometimes. No other artifacts, and definitely not surge. ;)
  • I've never really enjoyed astral bashing or saw the appeal. You don't get gold (which I care about more than essence), and it has an extra method of attrition in addition to WP/endurance (insanity), and it's open PK. Insanity just basically forces y…
  • You can sell completed curios though, I believe.
  • (Quote) I haven't watched it yet, no spoilers please. :o

    I'm a few races behind.
  • For some reason I just now realized I can change the font in Mudlet to whatever I want.

  • Aren't credit prices notoriously low when IRE games first start?
  • What are those differences? I've only played Aetolia for a few hours.
  • You and I, who have experience with this game, know there are ways to acquire credits.

    It's not obvious to new players, and to be fair to them, while you can get everything in the game by investing time, it's going to take a lud…
  • (Quote) The main problem with it is that there's no motivation to sell your credits for cheap to newbies, except for that one achievement. Even if motivation was added, like an XP bonus every time you sell to a newbie, the # of credits …
  • How many bound credits do you get from levelling now? The help levels file is out of date.
  • I've never bid on an auction, but that doesn't sound like a bug.

    If someone has entered a max bid of 305, it should bid the minimum bet, then if you bet 304 or whatever it should automatically bid 305 on their behalf.
  • You said it yourself - the rewards have been dropped significantly. Not to mention they are super hard to kill.  So it's really not much encouragement, ipso facto, no one does it.


  • I feel like the current mindset is that the main ways PK should happen is in systems that were set up explicitly for it - order wars (...), revolts, flares, domoths, wild nodes.
  • I like this idea. It builds an infrastructure that throttles the pace of the game somewhat and limits how "fast" you can go. This would, in the long run, let admins go a bit crazy and do more with abilities without worrying about it being too powerf…
