  • Technically, Sidd does know and play the class - specifically when he was making that envoy report. But putting that aside, and looking at the solutions alone, I think putting protection on scroll balance does attempt to address the problem statemen…
  • (Quote) Fine, you don't like the solutions - or at least, not all three of them.

    Let's talk about the solutions, then.

    Let's roll back solution 1 and solution 3. Let's go with solution 2, alone.

    What will that chan…
  • (Quote) Specifically, so that there is no semantic misunderstanding, I was asserting that I had been limiting stealth buffs because of those two abilities until they are now more generally available.

    Finally, just so it is on record, an…

    I do - I am not shy to put out ideas, theoretical or not, even on classes I have no experience with. Just for the fun of brainstorming, if nothing else. I also am not shy to lodge serious and vehement protests on said skillsets if I see …

  • (Quote) To address this stupidity again.

    My numerous attempts to buff Stealth are well known without your inaccurate and incomplete list of reports - and extend beyond those reports. My stance on Stealth has been one of my most consiste…
  • I'm also sorry that it wasn't clear what you meant - or more accurately, that you seem to have misunderstood Sidd's forum post.

    But anyway, mentioned in my first post in this thread, the most important, and the only real change, is the sc…
  • You know, I hate to be defending the envoy system yet again. It's like I don't do this all the time. One would start to think that I'm biased toward it, and/or that I'm being partisan in my support of it because it suits my agenda.

    But th…
  • As an additional note, it'd be good if someone could work out how many people a single melder CAN actually keep permanently dissolved, if they all continually invest all of their scroll balance into protection. This is important for melders to know,…
  • Why would dissolve (the single target version) not be used anymore?

    Dissolve hasn't been changed to require balance or eq, as far as I can tell, right? The change described means that dissolve should still be combo-able with balanc…
  • Just to bring up something Tyamit said in the previous page: blind+para exists in other IREs too, but they don't have our para delay. The idea of removing the delay, to basically change that combination to be the same as the other IREs, is, on theor…

    I'm fine with increasing hemorrhaging building rate if dropping the cap/reqs is not the preferred way. I'm fine with a refund-on-failure, or just burst consuming half (I think 75% might be fairer, but 50% is fine for a sta…
  • Ah, I misread the report. There is no solution 3 on it, so I have no idea what it's supposed to be. If it is, as you say, just making paralysis an instant cure, then moving paralysis curing to faeleaf would be a good idea instead. Them stacking on e…
  • Regarding hemorrhaging, I'm hesitant to make it a burst mechanic that completely resets offense on failure. I agree with the concept of a window to execute it, but note that both the building and the execution are aff reliant, and if it completely r…
  • You can kill people for less in Aetolia - they don't have an Avenger system. 

    Either way, I think it's a digression from the current topic. Being unable to communicate with your commune/city mates is definitely a problem we want to solve …
  • parseExits() looks like a custom function. I'm not sure if it is included by default in the m&mf packages. But if it isn't, then it won't work if you do not have the function code defined in your mudlet - because the function doesn't exist in yo…

  • Ah, so there's no "lock" in - it's just a case of the next hemorrhaging application within 2 secs get reduced, then? Well, that's probably a simplification of the code, but generally speaking, we won't see a case where someone's hemorrhaging is cons…
  • One of my guildmembers asked me to check about a question, and just so I don't forget, I'm putting it here:

    Could I check how is the diminishing returns on hemorrhaging calculated? As in, which monk is the "first" monk, and which is …
  • So, the recent Bravely Default phone game was released, and though I lost interest quite quickly, it revived my interest in the music, so now I'm on a binge on the OST.

  • I pointed out that mages should wear robes, not armour, but apparently it was decided they should have access to it.

    The solution at this point will be to make armour and robes have the same protection rating, so people basically choose w…
  • 50 per aff was far too low. Now that it is 75, things might be a little better, and I think we still need to loosen the restrictions on how the bonus can trigger to something more than one specific affliction, since focus exists. Without doing so, y…
  • Okay, my logs for today.

    These first six were basically just Yarith letting me test with him. I was making incremental changes to my scripts and forms after every of these spars. Not much can be gleaned from my sub-optimal offense in here…
  • Ah, Tahtetso had more of that than starkick, huh. Yeah. It's like the old pinchednerve modifier (that's gone now, of course) in basic kata. It was the exception rather than the rule even in Ninja/Tahtetso, most afflictions by actions were also direc…
  • ?

    Actually, the only wounds-gated afflictions in monks back then was Tahtetso starkick, and that was a prone, not an aff. I think Ninja also had one, but I can't remember which. But that was the exception. Most monk afflictions were based…

    As for creating bodypart connections between cure types, that is certainly possible to do. In fact, one of my guild members had been expressing to me that he didn't like the hemorrhaging changes, and would have preferred a syste…
  • Netflix has region lock? Lol. Sorry, my bad. >_>

    Group in this case is moderated by diminishing returns. That's the whole point of the group diminishing returns.

    My concern with capping the amount of affs that give a bonus at 1 of the 4 is that it stifles strategy. There …
  • On hindsight, +10 for the first aff might be a little too punishing, since beast spit doesn't happen every single form. It would end up creating scenarios where a monk DID a good job building an aff... but because it's only 1, he gets almost nothing…
  • I think the main problem here is the pre-form poisons, specifically beast spit and nekotai spit. Shedrin is correct, that was unintended when we were hashing out the design and the numbers.

    Beast spit is not that problematic - it is once …
  • Spronghai should only be available from surge onwards. The change has removed haemophilia as a guarantee'd aff from the Nekotai repertoire until Surge. You should see our aff rate drop significantly unless power is spent to constantly bounce between…
  • So, this apparently came out yesterday:
