  • Huh it doesn't seem to respond to any of my system theme settings (none of which are "dark" but include such hits as "black" and "high contrast"). Guess I'll have to wait, to read messages as well.
  • Does it have a dark mode?
  • Update the mapper script from the github, it's a problem that was recently fixed!

  • It's good to spread out decisions as much as possible, instead of hitting new players with a big raft of mandatory choices all at once. Even if you can freely change, it's a bit of an overload to have before you even log into the game.

  • Accessibility thoughts while writing CGHELPs:

    Create two special tags (or assign special characters?), one of which causes the entire next line of text [or the text between flags, whole line if no end flag is supplied] to …
  • (Quote) I'm fairly sure we agree on this. I mostly used "immersion" to follow up on what @Coraline posted when what I really was talking about is eng…
  • I don't think that direct competition is a good driver of that kind of a thing. It's also not something that orgs can really control, honestly. Sometimes you'll see a wave of novices join Serenwilde but not other orgs, for instance.
  • I thought it was intentional that as bashing/influencing for ticks gets harder and harder, you're intended to start exploring and finding quests you can do to cut down the time it takes for you to do your daily credits, but that it just wasn't well …
  • (Quote) I know I'm 100% the opposite of a fan of punishing everyone else for other people being good at what they do. If Xenthos can get is 2 hour allotment, so be it: let's not make said allotment twice as hard for him and everyone…
  • No, there's a substantial [if subtle rhetorically] difference in what Orael actually said (even in that quote) and what you're presenting. The position is evidently  that If SOMEONE is able to do three quests in 30 minutes and get 20 credits, those …
  • (Quote) This ISN'T the stated goal. The stated goal is not for everyone to take 2 hours, but for anyone to take 2 hours. As In, if the person with xp rank 1 and every single bashing artifact in a bashing optimized class (Zarakai…
  • Demigods with lots of bashing artis bash incredibly faster than titans, but not so for those without, not to the point of another doubling in effectiveness. I flat out didn't engage the daily credit mechanic because my impression was that for…
  • Aside from domoth woes, the big thing with the demishop for me is that most of the reasonably achievable options are just not useful, and the useful powers are SO EXTREMELY AND FORBIDDINGLY EXPENSIVE that I can't see the point in investing time…
  • Those are both good things, but I'm not very clear on what they have to do with the endgame. People have been asking for some kind of secular weddings for AGES, and I would have thought designing already gave family honour.
  • IT'S BASICALLY UNIVERSAL WEB CONVENTION THAT UPPERCASE LETTERS ARE LOUDER
  • What's in scope here, just personal progression stuff or also domoths? I feel like that latter have gotten really stale recently and most people agree that absolves and some other features aren't great.
  • The point is not that SSC will just automatically handle all defensive combat for you, but that you won't have to code big systems to make the same kinds of choices available to people who can code big systems. If you're playing without a sta…
  • Give Shevat the floor
  • I mean... it's fundamentally different than protection scrolls in a giant host of ways, including being a basic part of the original design of the class afaik (which protection scrolls never were, until the recent rework). Also, melds on…
  • In PvE you can always just RELAX TRUEHEARING to toggle it off.

    In fact, you actually probably want to do that, as the first thing an enemy bard will try to do is blanknote you followed by perfect fifth. If truehearing is up, it wi…
  • Roulade seems like a bug.


    The idea is that bards have very mobile and pretty good passives, as well as quite fast (and pretty strong) musical abilities. The downside is that they need to use blanknote on a target to allow hitting th…
  • Just want to chime in on making autocuring automatically learned somehow for novices, and when learned it should default to being on. 

    I've been noticing newbies going *hours* of play without learning a single lesson.…
  • Would there be a big difference in:


    -All offerings from out of org take a -50% strength malus.
    -Offerings from order members from out of org take -25% malus
    -Offerings from non-order me…

    This is an important point. If (as has been said) the point was largely to regulate the behavior of gods, then the mechanic A) doesn't accomplish that by consistently frustrating mostly players
  • A seems impossible to balance or otherwise accomplish: some classes like monks and bards deal damage alongside afflictions and so would get a big free boost. You'd have to fold in passives as well as active single target skills and *that* would be i…
  • My thought on RPWHO is that it's not meant as a flag saying "I'm roleplaying!" in the way that some games have PK character and non-PK character flags. Every character in Lusternia is a roleplaying character, that's part of the whole thing.
  • There's not a downside, and any lengthening of a true, interruptible channel is pretty good. It also powers up the primary user in other ways, on top of allowing demesne devolution to you if they die.

    On that note, do woo…
  • I'm pretty well sure that in testing and just... experience using it both when it came out and more recently, that I have gotten One With Nature places like Nirvana's Citadel and other spots where it would otherwise not work.

    Either way,…
