  • Yes, that would help a lot, though it'd still be kind of problematic.

    I'm looking at the skills I'm envoy for, and a big chunk of them are based around trying to keep the victim proned with broken limbs. Going through and just replacing a…
  • Whoa whoa, I do not think that's fair a fair exchange for non-wounding classes who deal lots of broken limbs. 3% extra damage is not at all equitable to the former effects of those afflictions. The main push of those afflictions (stance/parry) will …
  • Glom's biggest ship is probably a whole lot more than 30 rooms big, even if not all of that is accessible area. For instance, a few RL months ago, I added another 70 rooms or so to Seren's flagship, deploying them in a big clot behind a locked door.
  • What? There have been pages and pages of detailed suggestions, including full spreadsheets from at least three unique sources.
  • Focus spirit is slated for deletion, for the record.
  • Institute can deal 100% divinus or 100% excorable damage if they so choose.

    You have to pay essence and tie up weight for the Gnome and Fink demi powers on top of purchasing the race, don't forget.
  • Was that you throwing losing (?) in Seren's face on the forums and somehow still managing to be smug and superior about it? 
  • There haven't been many details, I think it's very much up in the air. Almost certainly not, I think.
  • I called my mothers on mothers day, which was good. On the other hand, my mother called to my grandmother and is basically done volunteering to interact with her, if she can help it. There's a lot of crap going on there, that's basically dumping all…
  • That time when you shout smug things, then poke in and out for no reason and die (looks like you DC'd, actually) and then go the forums and be more smug. #smugteam2015
  • If one buys the artifact, they get the demipower free, but does not get the tier 5 power. The artifact as presented literally just bumps you up a tier. So, buy it at level 50 and you get the demigod power for free at level 50, yes.
  • Okay! Just making sure you knew!
  • Yes, the purpose of the Aethercraft skillset and the turret modules is largely to attack other aetherships. In fact, there's a regular game event that centers around it. 

    Each room adds 50 hull.


    Makin…
  • To elaborate: We now purchase stats as demigods as a kind of 'required purchase'. These add 1 point to stat totals that usually are already up around 16, or to bring up low scores of 8-10. At most, this is a boost of ~10% to certain things (1 point …
  • It's really not.
  • Right, like how we suffer a point-and-essence tax for forced buys, either because you really need the stats you once got for free or because there isn't anything else to choose. 

    Look, races are now going to be defined mechanically by the…
  • Just now on envoys, I didn't have any idea until it was floated while talking about the big amazing artifact only perks.

    On becoming Titan, you will get regen on prime and refresh power. On becoming a Demigod, you additionally get phoenix…
  • Whoa, whoa.

    You don't get the power listed as a 'demigod' power on these tables when you become a demigod. You have to get demigod, and then spend essence and weight to unlock it. What?
  • What's the underpinning mechanic here?
  • Many artifacts are going to either go away or have a huge value change. I believe administration has already come out to say that if there are any major changes, they will offer trade-ins and so on for artifacts that undergo drastic alterations. Thi…

    Seems like a pretty central thesis statement here, one which ignores the huge body of work that includes not only the written pre-player histories, but also the scads of race-central events, areas, npcs that work to give ea…
  • If your racial rp was based entirely around your stats, you were doing it wrong. A race's identity is what gives them identity.
  • I agree with the balance philosophy. I guess more directly, my statement question is as follows: This and other changes create a situation where skills cannot reasonably be ported into the new system. In cases where they can be pushed into a convolu…
  • Presumably that dynamic changes somewhat when she needs to make defensive maneuvers. In both logs, she never collects any affs or drops into yellow in any vital.
  • Quests that have sections where the next step requires an extreme or otherwise nonsensical logical leap. I remember looking at a step-by-step walkthrough of the Newton quests and still not understanding how you're supposed to guess at some of the st…
  • That's how I feel about all but the most minimal guis, too. One thing I like to add to my prompt is a reminder of who my current target is, etc. I had to rebuild what I have recently too, and haven't bothered to re-add whistles like that, though.
  • Damage types should be more decently balanced with the huge changes to dmp, for everything but PvE (and who knows there), with the exception of physical typing pending warriors/armor changes.

    I was under the impression that whip/wand dama…
  • They can also use poisons to deal extra afflictions, and will potential tert options to deal different types of aff, right?
  • That should more or less continue: gold is more than plentiful, cures are cheaper than cheap, and you get massive gobs of starter cash to buy durables (robes/armor) from the collegum. If you are done with the fink and gnome achievements, are uninter…
  • End of course stuff is stressful, I'm in family-situation limbo, and I don't feel very well. Meh.
