  • Instances like the one above are why I don't think making Reality respect distort will do what you guys want it to,

    That's because in "defender" situations, Reality will still work. That's how it's been for the past year+. If yo…
  • The reason why I recommend transing Lowmagic is for the magic resistance (Magic skill was folded into low/highmagic a few years ago) when it comes to Sacraments users, not so much for Serpent.

  • Yeah...

    Celina hit the nail on the head when she said that the only reason why I brought up chestain + aeon + stun + eventru is to highlight the idea that if you're going to cherrypick a situation where reality destroys you, I c…
  • Oh god just let it die and let me abuse it in peace. I already have a report for it!
  • Sacraments, then Lowmagic, then Resilience.

  • Pshaw, I'd rather have a "new" envoy who's eager and submits reports rather than "old" one who squanders their slot every month. 

    Plus I challenged for champ after like a week of going Illu and 3 days of going EG and I'd like to…
  • I have so many reports to write, don't get me started!
  • Of course there's politics. This is a player org just like any other. 

    The reason why I say it's getting blown out of proportion was because  back in the dark ages, opposite side envoys even rejected normal, minor buffs by anyon…
  • I really don't think moving endurance/will drains to mana/power are awful ideas so long as you only apply them to skills that needed a drain to balance them out to begin with. 

    For the vast majority of defs, buffs, etc., …
  • My only issues with the envoy system as a whole stem from the admin disconnect with the rest of the active playerbase (probably no way to reasonably solve this) and the trend to envoy safe reports that are more likely to get passed than riskier ones…
  • Reality is not any more overpowered at stopping smob raids than scissor/fearaura/etc/etc. It's not any more special in that regard.

    And again, why are we mixing skills together, why not just say group combat is overpowered. If y…
  • Delayed cast is the most reasonable idea so far. I'll do that. Please stop making rage threads in the future.
  • So fly, ignite the briar, call for an empress, port back, and so forth. These aren't inescapable death traps here.

    This is getting pretty ridiculous, why are we mixing skills together now? If we're gonna start cherry …
  • By the way, did you know that if you shield when I drop reality initially, it won't hit you. You don't actually have to instantly try to hit me the moment I walk into the room.

    This means that if for some reason you think I'm in…
  • Yeah, I'm no e-samurai, I'm not gonna stop using skills I have access to for the sake of fairness or fun.

    In fact, I even wanted Sidd to shrine up during this domoth because I knew you guys would if we gave you the chance. Sidd'…
  • Is this actually an issue though, I mean you guys conveniently posted this...call for balance immediately after losing your domoth because of (what you perceive to be) this. It's pretty understandable that you guys don't have cooler heads at the mom…
  • Yeah, we're the ones totally muting the issue when the thread opened up with 'envoys suck' and 'poor hallifax'. 

    If anything, we're keeping on topic. :P
  • Yeah, I don't really get how Hallifax doesn't have any access to group breaking skills when they have scissorflip, pits, fearaura, and rad. 

    If you mean a unique one, sure. But do you -need- a unique groupbreak skill? Probably n…
  • Fearaura is easily way more reliable than reality IMO. So is rad, once it gets going.

    As the only person who uses the skill, the one area where Reality shines is during the inital rush where I go be a hero and walk into their an…
  • Yeah, not buying the 'maintaining forward momentum' angle I'm afraid. 

    If anything, the fact that everyone instantly respawns is what makes maintaining forward momentum easier. As an example, if my report were to be accepted - i…
  • I also would like to know how you guys can't just regroup especially in the era of nerfed gravity.

    You can even fly to bypass traps if needed (not that GG has any trappers).

    Furthermore, you…
  • Who uses such an overpowered ability.

    Edit:

    Okay fine, I will be slightly more constructive: I would be more inclined to take this seriously if, instead of posting to the forums trying to rally the mas…
  • That's when you make it a power drain instead. Either current or reserve. 

    Power drain would solve the dreamweaver problem too: have it drain 1p per x, then if it ever hits 0, it boots you. Or have it drain reserves.
  • I supported this one. :( in Have you backed any Kickstarters? Comment by Shuyin March 2013
  • Yeah my bad. Shows you how much I pay attention to willpower and endurance.
  • TBH, I was under the impression that Iosai has a way to pull out everything that drains/restores endurance/willpower via voodoo magic, then we can look at each one's specific case.

    Like for example, we can remove the endurance/w…
  • I really just meant that for skills that absolutely need to drain endurance/willpower for whatever reason, not every skill. I'm also fine with just limiting shouts to something like 2 per person per IC day.

    In fact, I'd prefer i…
  • This is an excellent idea. 

    All current endurance/willpower costs can be switched over to appropriate mana cost, power cost, or even a combination of both.

    As far as arties, manse/guild upgrades go, ju…
  • Oh god so tired of farming.

    I'll pay ridiculous amounts of anything for a Soulless Diamond from the Dark Diamond set from the Soulless collection.
