  • Well, we can discuss bleeding, vitals and how the overhaul affected the respective classes that rely on bleeding at another juncture, but my point here was:

    1) It's unlikely to solve the issues with exsanguinate
    2) It …
  • I don't think changing clot's mana cost or the damage/tic time on bleeding is a good idea. Looking to the wider game, bleeding is still extremely effective where it is present outside of monks and warriors, and the classes that deal it don't need th…
  • So my personal initial thoughts post-changes are:

    - Maybe ice being 4 instead of 5 might be a better starting point to assess from. Wounds are important and are how we can control warrior balance. Originally we proposed 90% of w…
  • (Quote) Maybe we can call it karma chameleon to match the karma iguana.
  • (Quote) I think damagedthroat + anorexia + slickness + asthma + (paralysis [for x seconds] OR broken legs + sprawl) is a greenlock nowadays. Takes more afflictions to achieve than before, but it's theoretically possible.
  • Aye, hardlocks still exist. All the new focus mechanics do is make it so that consuming a cure won't cure an undesired affliction. So it lets you prioritize -say- asthma, if you're bogged down on wafer afflictions. Otherwise, curing mechanics are ro…
  • Ah, I didn't know it was in the buffs system (that makes me feel incredibly stupid). Thanks for that. Looks like it also affects balance and eq a little bit.
  • Well, technically, ablaze wasn't a real consideration on the salve balance previously, whereas now it shares the same balance with burns.

    While it's true we lost some of the salve affs that pyros used to give out, we have to rem…
  • To anyone who owns a gilded cage, is it worth the dingbats? Does it make an appreciable difference in your bashing time?
  • I like the idea of making BURNS a final parameter like the way WOUNDS currently is. It keeps the syntaxes more consistent. And then APPLY ICE TO BODY without the burns parameter can always target ablaze first just fine. It's a little awkward but at …
  • (Quote) That and - if it's technically feasible - collating decay messages that are so close together.
  • Well every report had a specific plan and purpose to it. Things aren't going to be perfect immediately and we'll need to test and adjust. If you have issues or suggestions, you're free to make them. We can continue to recommend changes through envoy…
  • Eh? I died once before pushing you guys out and once after.
  • (Quote) You can wear scale...leather armour? :p
  • That was the whole point. So if warriors are still struggling now, we can adjust how much wounding they do or how much ice cures to give it a nice balanced flow. It was hard to do that when it was just 1-2 wounds. Calcise and dendroxin complicated a…
  • Well, keep in mind, it's once per RL day, so at least it's not really spammable. Also stopped by paralysis, entangle, broken limbs and sprawl I believe. So it's definitely a powerful escape skill (also gets past distort) but it's a one and done deal.
  • (Quote) Update: Working as intended.
  • We should probably close tweets again. You guys don't deserve it.
  • I've issued myself to get clarification. Will let you know of the verdict.

    It does not. You get a specific message about it failing and it drops the defense.
  • How about an artifact mic. You can DROP MIC <DIR> and you drop your mic, make an exit and everyone in that room is stunned for 1 second.

  • Also we dispersed after the absolve started, not beforr. Because I specifically remember watching the absolve start and asking people in the room what they wanted to do.
  • In any case, North, you do you. Keep fighting and keep doing your best. But don't worry about making anybody proud or happy of what you accomplish except yourselves. Otherwise, you'll never be happy.
  • Nice try to what? I straight up admitted that after 3 hours of fighting, we pulled out. If you wanted to directly engage us, you could have. Instead, you ran straight to the domoth realms, prepped it and the absolved in the hopes we'd go into that t…

    Not really. That's actually what you were saying! You seem to be getting us mixed up :)

    Uh, yeah. Are you kidding? You already had a numbers advantage by that point and decided to go create a bigger advantage elsewhere and then challenge to try to draw us in. We're not stupid lol. These sort of ta…

    Well here is the thing, for a good portion of the fight we were outnumbered but were not being engaged so we started dicking around and put down a Lisae shrine. At one point, some Mags and Gaidis including Muns…
  • Oh I should mention that Xenthos only showed up for the last 20 mins of that fight but wants to tell us what really happened lol

    In RE to that fight, Demartel is telling the truth. It lasted about 3 hours and Glom pushed us out witj Mag and Gaudi help a few times. We also fought under discretionaries. We held the upper hand for some time…
