I'm surprised that Ascension is, essentially, that joke about, "It's not enough that we win, others have to lose." At least, it is, for some people. That stance seems incredibly punitive, especially since even Wyrdenwoods keep stating that Creeping …
As someone from the losing side who had to make RL arrangements, the way the Ascension played out was just a waste of time considering the game was unplayable, anyway.
At this point, I think it's best if we just wait if the admins will respond to the issues. If nothing's acknowledged in 48 hours, I'll accept that the admins have assessed the situation properly, deemed wood bombs are fine, and so I'll drop the subj…

Not wyrdenwood bombs directly, but Report 151 does indirectly state that Noose and Creeping presented a problem. Noose was the target of that report, which was subsequently hit with half a solution. in Ascension - Wyrdenwood, Lag, Bragging Rights.Comment by MboagnJuly 2020
I know my tone is abrasive and this is intentional; from experience in IRE, in general, only the biggest fires draw admin attention in a timely manner. You saw how quick the admins tried to slap a band-aid on Ascension woes with a truefavour. With …

Your first paragraph disregards the issue of skill balance and instead chalk it up to better strategy; it argues that the Ascension was won solely because of better play by the winners and not because of mechanical issues with a…
Also, regarding envoy reports, when we raised the issue of Creeping the first time, you guys diverted the topic and said that maybe that Noose was the problem. As a bonus, nerfing Noose would also cut off the rad+entangle+damage from adjacent! …
I don't know how we'll convince you that we did absolutely the best we could do. Org brews, shoulderguns, wonderitems, karma blessings, rock candies, goop scarves - we used these, and more. We made triggers to try and get our chembombs off together.…
Treehug and Noose both do that, though, right? That is, deal one aff on their 10-p bomb list? It's broken bones for Treehug and entanglement for Noose.
edit, I don't usually notice the bleeding because I'm dead before it ticks

I don't know how Brawrur's analyzed it, but for me, it's because one of Creeping's afflictions is entanglement. Wildewood and Wyrdenwood might be equal in the ranged bomb game, but in-room, Wyrdenwood can simply keep using Vine Noose …

Taking this piece by piece. Doing the 10-p bombs without affs is a terrible move. Testing on myself, the 10-p bomb without affs hits me for around 25% health, no stun. One of the 5-p bombs (pyrokinetic) is stronger, hitting at a…
The stuns aren't stacking. What I mean is, you don't need to stack your bombs in very short timeframes in order to achieve the stun effect of the 10-power bombs: wyrdenwoods demigods do it natively (1-aff bonus), demi+ even moreso (2-aff bonus). Eve…

Chems can stack and increase their radius, but not with the ease that woods can. In order to achieve the stun on a chem bomb, you need at least two chemists, both initiating their bombs close enough that autocuring won't cure off an a…
About trades: three of them (Jewelry, Cooking, and Tailoring) can make refined items that you can trade in to gnomes for aethergoop. So, I think those three are very common but also very useful!
