  • No one should be tanking multiple violets with no consequences, even exclusively spamming the health stealing attack. Something's wonky if that's the case,, either your violet is doing very little damage for some reason or they're healing too much s…

  • Semi-related, any time you see a mention of damage sourcing in an AB, you should file an ABBUG pointing this out so that it can be removed. I've done this for any skillset I have a dump of that I've gone over, but that's not ye…
  • It's only meteor storm that has a chance to light rooms on fire, iirc. 
  • Storm is dorky (and way overpriced), but it does eventually put out widespread fires. More importantly, it will dramatically slow the spread of fires, making it easier to douse. 
  • You can follow, but after ~4s you're snapped back to your body (wherever it is) if you move to a different plane than it's on. Transversing at your nexus is a double whammy for losing a dreamweaver though, because of avenger mechanics. 
  • How did the forest get lit on fire? 
  • To be more clear, that's dreamdrift. It works just like teleport with all of the same restrictions and timescales, just no third person messages. Moving or dropping a mono (or some other effect that stops teleports to you) avoids it.
  • It's also a great idea to call out anytime your forced movement hits targets. I do this for treelife, cudgel raising, and effects like tornado/land. I do also make these avoid hitting my own target, but it's usually useful to know when other people …
  • Not if you let them dreamdrift to you and link. Dreamweavers can get into the tree elevation other ways if they're clever (and have a little help). 

     Once they're linked (until the changes go through allowing links to be broken …
  • That's the end of someone teleporting to you.

    TRANSVERSE ETHEREAL will shake any dreamweaver you have on you. 

    EDIT: Also, I bet I know who this is. 
  • Yeh. All of the damage kill bombs in general are dumb. Either you're maxed out and your group is set up with damage aoe's and so on to make use of them and they're crazy group clearer... or you're not and you'll never use the damn thing. It extra su…

    Also Maligorn. 

    Also true. There's also a big difference between skillsets that focus around solo combat and ones that focus on group combat. Neither is fundamentally better than the other or more balance t…
  • Okay, that's what I thought. Might be worth a change to include some very public note that this is the case. Change the 'This many Lusternians on this plane" message to reference that the number is absolute and does count shrouded people, so that th…
  • I always dread the idea because they're almost uniformly really intensely powerful effects that in many ways become the new meta, shifting the overall combat window upwards - not just the ceiling, but the floor too. 

  • Do cloaking gems not hide people both from the list and the numbering at the end? I remember it being said that they did not, but I can't remember either way.

  • I've always felt that the majority of players who want credits purchase the iron membership and receive credits that way, and participate in promotions expressly for whatever the promotional item is. That is, they're buying presents or…
  • It's not 'not wanting to have to pay to have artifacts', it's 'not wanting to pay for previously and reasonably free features of the game'.  There's a difference between buying artifacts that enhance or improve gameplay in new and optional ways, and…
  • Because manses are officially sanctioned afk spots and the artifact... is an expensive artifact with no other purpose. You shouldn't need to pay in credits just to make yourself scarce. 
  • I really liked aethergoop, especially with some way to get enough for one reskin (but not really any artifacts) if you're active during that month. 
  • Actually, lasting an hour is a dramatic improvement over an effect that lasts 24 hours, if you get them for at least 1/20th or so of the cost. Most people don't do anything for 24 hour stretches (except breathe etc.), being able to choose to consume…
  • Ah right. So you could get a 6 pack of... just mints. That would suck.


    EDIT: Especially if your present gives you... gold. It's a double gamble. 
  • I astroglided but barely got to touch a node :C 
  • My impression was not that you get (say) a red lollipop with 6-12 uses, but rather you get a box with 6-12 candies at random. So you might get two red lollipops, a gumball, and the rest fireballs or whatever. 

    Making them sellable will he…
  • Yes, those are op, but it is Imperian. Combat and combat expectations are totally different there. Aetolia has had some nice consumable item promotions over the years, stuff that isn't outright insane on the face.
