Things were broken, though, and that's the point of the Combat Overhaul, I think. Things stacked on other things on such ungodly levels at times. We just got used to 13000 hp faelings and 50% damage mitigation things, and more often than not, instea…

That's not what they're saying. What they're saying is that Veil/DeepCover is literally the only two abilities in Stealth worth anything. As opposed to Harmony (please, someone say Harmony is bad. I dare you.) Nerfing those two …
The difference between the Shackles debacle and Bard song length is that a vast majority of bards usually have charisma of 20+ (sorry, Irontongue Viscanti), meaning the usual Bard song length is around 10 (?) minutes. Celestines never had Shackles, …
Night Choke was a fiddly bomb, nearly everything about Night and Shadowdancer-flavour Wicca were made to complement it. That's why it was such a highly contentious issue -- it was a powerful (if not the most powerful) ability, yet removing it comple…
Man, that ivory tower of envoy immunity must be really high.
The first special report regarding pledges, the Celestines were buffed and the Nihilists received nothing. Please don't seriously expect Silvanus or the Nihilists to …
The Celestines got a free buff with Shackles. It was not processed through the Envoys. It was accepted by the Admin, who gave the Celestines free reign to change their pledges…
I also think it's pretty funny Celestines got the best of both worlds through a seriously questionable process and are defending that and still expect everyone to kowtow to further buffs to their kit.
Magnagora = toxic is just as valid or invalid as Seren = snuggler, Hallifax = anticombatant, Gaudiguch = griefer. Every organization has its stereotype. Own it.
Environment would be a more suitable skill in which to fold Resilience, but yeah. We have/had a couple of 'supplementary' skills that require a full skill investment. Better to just fold them into each other.
Enemy statuses are not a big deal outside of you no longer being able to walk into at most 10 areas? (Prime territory, elemental, cosmic, nexus world, order realms). You can still definitely interact with any…
I think the Nekotai trace their roots from Grandmother Scorpion's adherents, or something like that. I'm not exactly sure, but from what I recall they lean more on Scorpion than illithoid.
I fully expect Kethuru's ultimate goal was still to eventually destroy. The Taint was a just a device to make the mortal races weaker by turning them against each other. The underlying, most basic conflict of Lusternia has always been between Dynara…
I suspect the main reason for the disparity between commune/city quests is that communes have 'passive power generation' (totems), while cities do not. As Enyalida said, city power quests generate more power than the commune ones. It's basically an …
Imperian has a combination of a death timer (capping at a max of 2 minutes, I think?) and increased damage from players instead of experience loss when dying. The idea was to increase PK activity by divorcing experience, which is a resource mainly o…
Also, "cutting trees that would equal costs for an Ascendant"? Chopping down elders doesn't actually cost Glomdoring nexus power. Each stage of tree from sapling to elder/totem still actually generates power, last time I checked. If anything, choppi…
