  • I would just point out that there is a difference between "bleeding out," and bleeding as a supplement for a mana kill strategy. I wasn't proposing turning Nihilists into a "bleeding class," in that they the intent was to rework them to such a de…

    This is not realistic.
  • I forgive you.
  • The Geomancer envoy has been involved in conversations over envoys as recently as 2 days ago. I can't speak to his combat abilities, but he's certainly amicable and involved in the dialogue.

     

    If it was not communicated b…

  • @Malarious: You answered your own question, more or less, in that manabarbs can force a change in curing priority. 10 seconds is a fabricated number, the i…
  • I can't speak to specific examples though generally I agree with you, but sometimes it's our only option. It's that or a vacancy. For what it's worth, I have a working knowledge of pretty much every skillset with a small handful of exceptions to hel…
  • They have not been announced, the cleanse cures are difficult. I'm really hoping to get rid of most of them. Sludge, mud, deathmark, whatever else I'm forgetting. I don't like what they add to combat and feel like. Sap is staying, and there are s…

  • The racial outliers will be addressed as well once we get around to races after the affliction portion is done. I think we will see a much smaller disparity betweent he speed floors and ceilings afterwards.

     

    I apologize …

  • Envoys are not always the best combatant. To be successful, we require a civil and constructive discourse among the envoys. If a combatant can't do that, they will not be considered. I had the conversation yesterday about a possible envoy, in fact.
  • First and foremost, this is not absolute nor implemented yet.

    To Malarious's point, Nihilists have access to a lot of stackable bleeding, much of which is passive (spawn, Nif symbol, demon with Nif pact, I believe torture also does b…

  • Yes, this does herald some major changes for how Nihilists will function. We will make changes on our side as we progress, but major changes will be left to the envoys. We have replaced omen with manabarbs to better mesh with Wrack to compensate to …
  • So that explains all the silver moustaches and unibrows drawn on all of Drocilla's photos.
  • Some of these are great ideas! However, none of them realy fall within the framework of the overhaul in that the overhaul is strictly about PK mechanics. Many of them would make great envoy reports though.

    The only two that really ca…

  • I'm going as a straight man to my office. It involves a visor, some sports jersey which I have yet to acquire, and cargo shorts/pants.

     

    The actual halloween parties I attend are usually an assortment of gay men in their …

  • Don't worry about remembering me, I was but a glint in the gods' collective divine eye when you were around. I just wanted to take a quick moment to say that I'm overwhelmingly glad to see that you are okay and recovering. Lusternia is glad to ha…

  • The final list isn't done as we are still working through a few of the affs and how/if they'll function in the end, but if you have questions about specific afflictions we have attempted to answer as openly as possible. If there is an affliction you…
  • I have emerged from a great battle with the computer company who made my laptop and finally declared victory with a new computer. 

    I talked about it somewhere, but a lot of the inspiration for the overhaul's structure and purpos…
  • Quick apology for my absence. The harddrive on my computer went out and I had to send it back to the manufacturer (huzzah for warranties) to be repaired. I should be back around tomorrow or Wednesday.

  • Unfortunately, creating unique skillsets for every guild that currently share skillsets is far from simple. It's actually a massive undertaking by the limited number of admin who understand mechanics and PK enough to design and implement skillset…

  • I'm just the Mini-Anomoly because they don't trust me to not destroy Lusternia yet.

  • Fire and frost are undecided as they currently serve as defenses and curatives. They will not exist as curatives, but they may still be around for defenses in the interim as we figure out what we're doing with them.
  • Currently only the curatives we have released will exist following the overhaul. Defenses will come later.  

  • Customer service with heavy accents and voice scramblers make for very confusing phone calls. They are either sending me a fedex label via email or I'm a special guest for doctor Phil. It's really up in the air.
  • I will also note that though I have noted my disagreement of some of the poster's perspectives on things like aeon and sleep lock, I am not attached to either of these, nor any mechanic for that matter. I think there is some confusion there, that…

  • Sigh.

     

    We are not prioritizing system building over balance, we have repeatedly acknowledged the need to balance as we build the new system.  

     

    I will say it again, our time is not infinite. As a …

  • We're running down some rabbit holes here. For my part, aeon is aeon. Aeon is not choke. I'm not implying I am talking about both when I speak about aeon, nor am I assuming players actually meant choke and aeon when they presented reports about o…

  • I don't understand. How is the envoy system not equipped or prepared to address aeon? 

  • Something tells me that so long as I post, someone will disagree with me. Let me be as neutral as possible:

     

    Aeon is not currently under any consideration for change in the overhaul. I encourage you to bring it before the…

  • I want to say possibly maybe perhaps down the line eventually somtime. I honestly can't speak on that with any degree of certainty. I'm here for the Overhaul and the PK system. The great big plans of the future are Estarra's domain.

  • The overhaul will necessitate a look at some guilds, absolutely, but not in the usual sense. It will be less of the typical "special report," and more to bring them back in line to what they were before the change. The Overhaul has never been abo…
