  • You didn't know what the hand of glory is? Pshaw! Or wait... you understand what a flame, and what it means to be extinguished?

    It's a traditional weapon of the night, friend to those who stalk in shadows, ally to all who creep in the dar…
  • It wouldn't be hard for guilds to set a default race, as an extension of the current guild race lists. There could even be a mention of the awesome powers of the portal of fate somewhere in the intro, indicating that they can change their race if th…
  • Presumably, this is not going to go live as soon as it's coded?
  • That's not true, as far as I'm aware.
  • 'Increased speed' probably means 'decreased recovery time'.
  • The shark-kohai variants are the best:

  • Where?
  • The death timer is not aimed at deterring one-man raids, it's intended to make it increasingly more difficult for an enemy force to camp, as any deaths they suffer will hurt them (and break up their group) more than defender deaths. Other measures w…
  • It would also be cool to expand the nature curse lines -woods get to all druids.
  • How does that work with non-wounders dealing physical external afflictions?
  • The problem there was that it's so isolated that you'd have no reason to suspect that enemies were up there. By the time they got around to kicking a mob, they'd have a fully entrenched demesne, with a shrine and (for a time, before it was changed) …
  • I really think that purchasing otherwise locked out abilities on par with the demigod perks (or stronger) is a bad idea.

    I missed the minor terrain regen added to the spec races. 
  • In the same way that you flip burgers part time during your highschool summer break and working for minimum wage to support your family of three-or-four on minimum wage is still the same job, sure. But okay!
  • It also depends on what 'attacks' means. Attacks can mean 'bashing attacks', or it can mean 'any attack that does damage', or it can mean 'any ability that targets another player'. A 5% chance to fire on a bashing attack is very different than a 5% …
  • Not really. It can be a VERY different beast depending on what connections and networks you have already in place, and is FAR less strenuous and stressful if you aren't desperate for said new job. Doing the job hunt with no vehicle or dependable dat…
  • Dodge? No more dodge. It's bad enough that furrikin are going to get contort (wowza), we don't need more of the annoying bard/monk mechanics leaking out to the general populace.


    Barktouch can stay (for flavor on…
  • I liked the idea to have spec bonuses be in addition to a regular level 50 racial bonus, instead of instead of one. What happened to that?

    The -wood demiperks have changed? They lost some (admittedly redundant) damage resistances (see bel…
  • Whoa, Breath of Dracnoris sounds insane, passive additional damage and ablaze on targets? Fast wall burning and free artifact pipes (?) is plenty effect, especially when compared to regens - even stronger ones than before.

    Making the …
  • (Quote) Presumably, this means that non-physical classes dealing external physical afflictions won't experience any change in their experience (except for aff pruning), right?
  • Everyone gets it, nobody agrees.
  • Elfen's actual thing pre-overhaul is being a giant statbag. None of the other (dis)advantages are particularly notable. I like the idea of moving the limited regen bonus to the 50 slot alongside the spec power and rolling out a new racial capstone.
  • I'm going to use the 'comment' function, as it's cleaner. You can hover over boxes to see them, or check the 'comments' button at the top right.
  • It would be cool if there was a limited ability to gain the unique racial verbs (pursuit, carry, etc.) in the demigod shop ( no weight/ consolidated weight). This could help ease equality concerns, as with sufficient investment players could gain ex…
  • I like this a lot, and agree with Xenthos's comments. 
  • It does make them give slightly more experience, but it's less bonus than the additional difficulty in influencing them, so it's a net loss still.

  • (Quote) No.
  • How will that work for non-wounding class physical attacks?
  • Uh... the DW thing is an entirely different kettle of fish. Any objection to the content of the report (to note: I AM one such objector) is based on the actual content of the report, which is a natural clarification on the report that spawned it, no…
  • I can post the logs of the big conversation later, if it's relevant.

    This is a pretty clear cut instance of the standard operating procedure being ignored in a a way that provides a BIG benefit to one guild, in the absence of anything lik…
