  • (Quote) This is the problem, as you said. the three G's skill and artifact level out match the others. So either you help them get even better (ie, they get more rewards which they use to better themselves) or you don't and hope they st…

    When some of IHC getting 1000+ credits (record rewards easily hit 300-500cr before the record was broken by an IHC group, and they did it a few times) that's huge. When there is -zero- chance at shadowlight even coming close to …
  • (Quote) It is largely just a feedback loop - you need to do something to encourage people to use it, which means tying some sort of reward/meaning. But when you have double, if not triple, the numbers on one side, it raises a 'why would we limit ou…

    Guardian/wiccan guilds use to have a guild champion pet which is where I was basing the question off of (only wanting something anyone could get rather than being limited to an elected position.)

    1) Newbies are affected more than anyone else (because of limited other resources they have or don't have)
    2) Merchant aspects have never really been a money maker. There might be a few exceptions like if someone is an …
  • A few things:

    On research upkeep - Remove the lose a level. I would even go far as to move the research devices into a public section of the org, one that everyone can access. This would allow anyone to put anomalies/…

    And this is a lower number. I'm pretty sure when Ashira rejected Ysav'rai, it cost ~7K honour. For Ysav'rai, failing to upkeep housesstatus is also easily a 10-15K honour hit.

    Anyone can put anomalies/comms/gold into the project. There is no power connected with that.

    This is an investible power (although you probably shouldn't do it). It allows for 3 new commands: RESEARCH START <type>, RESEARCH END [CONFIRM], and RESEARCH ADVANCE.
    The first starts a new type of research…

    This still doesn't answer his question.

    You can't see all the nouns without making the design itself. So you would have to request the pattern to a cartel and then look at the nouns of the new design (t…

    Beasts are (supposedly) a lot of work for the admin to make which is why we really only see 1-2 new beasts a year.
    Enchantments and supplies are completely player run (outside of a few very basic things sold by Bob). Be…

    There are alliance clans that your org can induct you in. Admin have stated that player clans fill the role well enough that coding alliances is not worth the time right now (due to limited resources and all that better spent el…
  • Of the articart 'new releases' (which weren't actually new) artifacts, a public release of 'gleaming bracers of shattered crystal(325cr) '. They were the only artifact in that section that hasn't been publicly released.

    Some of the skill messages (Rage is the one that came up a few months ago and how they can turn the moon red on command) suggest the moondancers influence the actual moon with how it is worded.
  • Shall the title of Quizmaster be taken? Maybe not to today, but there will be questions still.

    1) How do you deal with inconsistencies in the game-world when they don't match with real world facts - Do you ever find y…

    5) Scale to me is strange. It isn't something I think about until something is pointed out (or I think more than two seconds about it.) I see all rooms as the same size as default.
    6) So, I have issues with a mechanic/r…

    It is recorded in game - HELP SKILL RANKS (9.0.11).
    If you have a truefavor (or more one), this will effect your rank. You can also see your lessons to next skill on the AB <skill>  (again, TFs will throw this number …

    The wonderwand has a slightly higher base damage. The gnomeweapon as more chances to crit and has the carry over thing. While the wonderwand has the choice of which balance to use (and I guess having perhaps a lower buy in to ha…

    There is a bit of difference between Ascension and flares/revolts. But also denying a win and denying someone from participation points is different as well. If I'm just getting org points and not even trying to win the flare/rev…

    My understanding is that Creeping is easily avoidable. That it is only great in lag(as we saw in ascension). How would you even envoy something that like? To me, that sounds more like a problem for how the game handles…

    I can only based things on what I have been told myself when I have asked people and my posts reflect these ideas that I have been told (which I make no claim of being a majority).

    While the rest of your post is important I will point out one mechanical problem.

    Putting Allies against each other is a bad idea. Having to rely on RNG is just as bad.
    Balancing sides out is going to be hard. Limiting how many people of a side isn't really going to work (at least as long as al…

    Dismissing our side's issues that Xenthos talked about? That's what this looks like.
    If you think it is toxic for playing the game a specific way (/don't see how some one our side could see Ascension as a loss) t…

    The goal of Ascension is to raise a TA, but only one. not two. I don't think prevention in a competition is a toxic mind set. it is a competition afterall.
    If you (admin you) are just going to hand out a tie, why…
  • (Quote) In a game where Ascension is the biggest PVP competition (to the point we get people who only sign in during Ascension time), it is wrong to want only one winner? In a competition that has never had a draw before. Or is Celest's whole…

    Please stop saying this. SL did not get what they wanted. SL did not win.  IHC went from losing (again, in the game's biggest contest) to winning. If you want to be super picky, 'both sides' did not agree to it. The admin a…

    TIL, I really only saw it happening in revolts a few times (and figured it was less about denying the orgpoints and more about stopping them from getting a foothold)
  • (Quote)
    The difference is I personally wouldn't go after someone getting their orgpoints for participation and I would just ignore them.
