(Quote)I have solo-influenced villages and solo-done flares before. So it is possible... but that requires other orgs being nearly empty too.The overall point is a good one! Just pointing out that it's not …Well that's not nobody!
Last time it was brought up (during that last Lusternia in-game q&a with the admin) they said they were going to look into purging the comment. I have not checked to see if it was gone, but at that point at least it was still a thing (and has d…Bias has been around for a long time. There are cases of old scholarly works which had some nasty comments thrown on them despite being fully grounded in in-game lore.The most egregious example of this was a Nekotai…(Quote) I like this too. This makes domoths contribute with their tick... but so does everything else too! Comm quests, regular quests, hunting. Could even be 1 point per 5 credits earned (so it doesn't just flood out everything else).
1k max, 700 min I think? So it is not a huge gulf between top and bottom.I fully agree that encouraging more is better, especially as winning does not heavily disadvantage the others anyways.Basically that is why people are feeling like this system is cutting out conflict in favour of the other stuff, because anybody (with the inclination) can do the other stuff. If you have the inclination for conflict stuff, though, it si…(Quote)Let's say I am not a creative type (so plays/books/designs are out). Let us also say that no flare ticks on the year and I miss the one revolt / wildnode tick (this is a 12.5 day range, missing two things ticking in that span is…(Quote) Yes. DAILYCREDITS and ORGCREDITS are what they are called on Test at the moment. The daily credits one breaks out what you earned so you can track it pretty easily.
(Quote)Obviously missed that. Looks like it is just for publics (which is fine really).What about quests (for a future iteration)? The quests that reward lore books especially seem to be ideal for a tie to …See my post above yours re: designs. That is the only other thing that comes to mind for culture stuff as-is...Well, unless certain lore related quests are flagged as cultural and doing them nets rewards (1x per per…What other things would you suggest that currently exist as actual cultural things? I would not want to shove non-culture things into that tag (domoths are definitely not cultural).Designs? I could see designing ad…To me:1) Org rewards for books and plays is great.2) No org rewards for domoths is less great.Domoths are the only generally available form of conflict on a reasonably reoccurring basis. If you…Made it on to test for a few minutes tonight. Didn't get an exact count, but a little under 25 solo-linked mitrans for the first 100-point tick, and exactly 59 for the 250-point tick (so ~120 solo mitrans for a 500 point). So that's ~2,160 mi…(Quote) I would say that you're overstating things considerably, since nobody actually said that.
Merian is technically globally available. People just hide it under artifact hats to disguise they are using it for the RP reasons you describe.I would agree with not using the skillsets ones though (Gaudiguch…There is also the Merian 5% one (if you are including crit rune on the invested side you might as well count that too).There is also the Catsluck curio (2%?). All that gets you up to around 70%.(Quote) He means casual for him, not casual-for-everyone, I think.
(Quote) You are overestimating how fast domoth mobs spawn, I think. Also I suspect this functions like villages, so you just get 1 tick per domoth (the participation tick), so you still want the domoth done faster; why stay up there for 60 m…That is an interesting cult mechanic, definitely like it for a small game.
(Quote)I note that you are missing a couple of things, like 1) Weapon choice and 2) Targets. I'd guess you were using a gnome weapon for multi-kills? If so, that definitely skews things a very large bit towards the "top" (which is why…Test #2. I ignored everything except commodity quests.I had 14 credits worth of comms for turning in within 11 minutes.After 28 minutes, I had completed 7 villages' quests and nett…I wanted to give this a shot, so went testing to get some real numbers & results. For my initial test, I specifically excluded any form of questing. This was intentional; part of the system design is to encourage trying out different ways of g…(Quote) ... oh. Well then. That changes things a bit!
(Quote) My reply was in that regard too! (But some of the other replies did go off towards credits)
At the same time, making them count could also encourage people to try more than they do. I started to write a suggestion about making it count for more if there is fighting, but I suppose allies could kill each other to game that.<…(Quote)I was actually planning a discussion on this tonight in Glom. Was going to raise a "donate 100 credits per year to guilds" idea (this leaves 400-700 for the org).An automated way of doing it would be p…(Quote) Yeah, I get where you are coming from. The cloier is basically the easiest (semi-permanent) smob we have in the game so I am defaulting to it as a good base to work from. There is nothing that says we can't adjust the strength of th…We have done cloier with 5 demis now. Does not help a lot with newer people though, I suppose!Here is an idea. Make a template for (temporary) smob garosaurs that you can sprinkle into areas. They are about the st…So basically we need two basic changes to make it roughly similar?1) More smobs akin to the gaseous cloier (the cloier has to be quested for and the quest can only be done on a full moon, so it's not ideal, but it is about the right …(c) Iron Realms Entertainment 2012.
