It would be really trolling if say.. they went out of their way to kill Ulthaed right before the New Moon. The point of guard stacks is that they fight off intruders, and intruders want to kill them so that they can intrude more. It's pretty easy to…
I agree, and there was some argumentation on envoys when the new cure for it was announced. It's not the same to have burns on ice as it was on liniment 'because breaks and burns were on the same balance before'. You can't balance in a vaccum, the b…
Personally, I find stuff like The Knife very nice for doing work like that. I used to camp out the starbucks where my best friend worked with some giant clunky over ear headphones and a constant looped discography of the Knife to do schoolwork, to g…
I watched Melancholia, having watched Antichrist. I'm going to watch Nymphomaniac some time this week. I liked Melancholia, it had great mono-no-aware.
Point being, you should hunt places where your health doesn't trend dangerously negative, this applies if you have 10k health or 2k health - the object isn't to have lots of vitals, but to get to the point where curing will outpace damage sufficient…
The big thing is to be using sparkleberry and healing scroll, not necessarily to rack up health buffs/armor. For the most part, in PvE you're not really looking to soak damage, but rather to restore health.
It's also been suggested that orgbixes get an exit to the org's directory, to try and promote org shop business by making it as easy to get to the directory as it is to get to the aetherplex.
You should also consider using m&m's in-built system for catching unknown afflictions. By default, it's set to only check diagnose every 3(?) unknown afflictions. Set it to 1, and it should automatically diagnose in a system-kosher way every tim…
The easiest prime power quests are Serenwilde and Glomdoring (which work identically). They have the fewest steps, no combat, and no influencing. You just walk around to find pixies/shadows, give/drop a special item, then lead them to the flame/drum…
My question is: What parts of the game were gated off by not being able to gain guild rank in a guild where there were no other ranking members availible with which to RP that rank anyways?
Novicehood already has auto-advancement, just wait for the requisite time. Collegium status reduces the time based on quests completed and it's possible that separate collegium and guild novicehood status will go away once guild/faction is no longer…
The game actually doesn't really provide any pointers on what armor to wear, how or where to get it, or even how to use it (as obvious as it might seem). The new introduction provides almost no guidance on practical matters of how to play the…
Steingrim is right in that some guilds require equipment early on, but it's usually what is considered baseline for exploring without getting stuck or dying to npcs because you had no curatives. So, a bit of lucidity, a bit of ice, health, and mana …
I contest that there is the potential for 'a challenge' when there is no route to success. You can't challenge a competition when you are not a competitor.
Unless some of the mechanical realities of the game change, players will either dial down those aspects or ignore them if it's a choice between the roleplay and playing any other part of the game.
If players are uninterested in the biggest event of the year, and (as the post implies) totally uninterested in the intended overarching roleplay of their org with respect to said biggest event of the year - there might be problems, and those proble…
