  • More like: We have different ideas on how an org should be run, which will lead to conflict.  So I wouldn't phrase it quite your way (it's not like I am saying the players themselves will just all stab each other on sight), but we have very differen…
  • Well, there is!  Glomdoring has more active people than Serenwilde (check CULTURE) so would be more insulated.  Even so, it wouldn't be an enjoyable experience for anyone, so my comments in that regard are equally applicable.  Why do something if th…

    This is basically what I have been trying to point out.  It would be super uncomfortable for Celestians who are committed to the idea of Celest as it is, though, and I don't imagine that they all would appreciate outsiders coming…

    How does it seem like I am in favour of it?  I specifically stated that I am against the theoretical proposal because I don't think it would make Serenwilde's playerbase happy.
    If you smash sides together there is going…
  • (Quote) I am quoting this part of your post because I agree with it 100%.

    I don't think you can reasonably stop it.  Look at RL communities that bring in a number of others from a completely different culture.  The community will change to reflect its new makeup.  Yes, you can step in to assert big thi…

    Maybe you are remembering better than me, but I don't think so?  Glom never really took over Gaudy.  A number of people retired over to there over time, but I don't remember them taking over all the leadership positions.
  • At which point the admin will let the players in; if you are denying people entry to an org based on forum posts you will be roledocked at the least.  I can't imagine why you would admit to it.
    If they are closing orgs, the players ne…
  • I quoted what I wrote.  Nowhere does it say "Glomdoring 2.0".  It does, however, state that the org will change and that I would imagine current Serenwilde players would not like said change.
    And a few of you are proving my point for …
  • Physical object really does not mean much.  Write that you consider them to be a historical monument of the past, from a weaker / frailer time.  It is still history after all.  If nobody chooses to enforce them any more, they are no longer the …

  • (Quote) None of this is against any rules or would require "Divine Intervention".  Laws and rules are player-made / player-driven.  If the majority of an org decides that they want to stamp down on the concept of Snugglewilde, doing so …
  • I forgot that Aetherflares actually does give honour for bombarding and villages give (almost none, this needs to be buffed, but at least something) for influencing NPCs.  So it's wildnodes that are left out, and Timequakes should mimic the oth…

    I'd like some family honour from it (and especially non-Blood-houses shouldn't lose honour when fighting in a Timequake).
    When I suggested that, I also wondered why we don't hook family honour into the dailycredit ticks…
  • Will there be any family honour ticks for doing timequakes?
  • What if it only showed names of people in your org, and a masked person for people with a gem?  Give a toggle for the cloaking gem that masks your name or shows your name (without location obviously)?  This would let people in Nelras' situation "opt…

    They did.  Serenwilde used to say this to Glomdoring a lot back when we were starting out. :p
    It's not real…
  • I am not talking about shortening the timequake period itself, just the anomaly release time & the "wait for the next anomaly" time.  The overall structure can remain the same, just trying to make the gathering itself a bit less... stand here fo…
  • I referenced it earlier!  Estarra asked us for input because she had been thinking of making changes, but it seemed to end there (have not heard anything further).
    Do you have any thoughts on the script-to-farscout-everyone-online
  • I can't agree with that in entirety.  I referenced the Undervault earlier.  Lusternia has had many times of people taking it upon themselves to "patrol" the Hives or the Prison and kill people there.  They would do this regardless of whether th…
  • Would you consider the following changes?
    1) Halve the time to gather an anomaly
    2) Halve the respawn time
    3) Reduce the archpower from an anomaly from 10 to 5
    Basically, the whole thing feels very slow. …
  • Also, I'm not really feeling the "10 AP for Timewind" ability or 5 AP to harvest faster ability.
    I only ever saw 1 anomaly at a time, and it was a couple of minutes between one being gathered and the next one appearing.  Each gives yo…
  • Can there be a second message when 1 minute remains until timequake doom?  There is one at five minutes, but a final "GET OUT NOW" would be nice before getting atomized.
  • I sent you a bunch of messages on the test server.
    I have a question: Is the release time per-person (so if I do 5 mins, then someone interrupts me, do I get reset)?  It is a pretty long time and gust breaks it, so if it resets you wi…

    Doesn't really read that way, as far as the prohibition goes; it reads as being an intentionally designed system to misleadingly drive people to invest more and more because they think they are "so close to finishing" when they'r…

    Where is the "this proposal" you're referencing?  I don't recall seeing anyone in this thread suggesting seeing any more locations than you currently get on the normal WHO as-is right now.  Anyone else who does not qualify (cloak…

    I just looked up Kompu Gacha.  It doesn't seem to fit a situation where you're guaranteed a certain number of the "rare" pieces and where you can just spend 1,000 goop to finish a curio if you decide you don't want any more boxes…

    Here is how I do curio completion:
    I buy a pack of curios that is as close to the total number I need as possible (on the upper end).  So if a set takes 40 pieces to complete, I'll buy a 50-pack.
    I am then gua…

    Yep.  Ikon packs work the same way.  You'll always get an eternal ikon from packs over a certain size (note: not legendary, but Eternal group, which are the empowered/stronger ones).
    Edit: I think it would be useful if …

    "Rare" in curios is a misnomer for everything but questing curios imo.  You're guaranteed to get a certain number of "rare" pieces on packs greater than 5 curios.  They do tend to be pretty rare to receive in the questing environ…
