  • (Quote) I still want the ability to unlock tradeskills from class requirements...
  • (Quote) But not originally.  Etanru was the Queen for a while, for example.  They did a change after a bit to make him the first King instead!
  • (Quote) ?  I got 8200 lessons back with all the core skills transed.
  • The bonus only increments damage done by that type.  Your axe, by default, does neither Fire or Psychic so that buff does nothing to you.

    The notation indicates that it gives 1 level (a 3% boost), up to a maximum of 1…
  • I managed (barely) to finish the grimoire without receiving a fright.  Beckoning to Bob Jr in front of a mimic turned out to be a bad idea...

    It was pretty fun though, thanks for putting it all together.  And having t…
  • (Quote) Sure.  I attached one to my wonderwand.
  • IRE Elite gives 5 lessons a day just for logging on.  We've occasionally had lesson promotions where the whole game gets something like that (if you're logged on 10 minutes you get some lessons).  This is small, but it could be a nice thing-- I…

    I have somewhere around a thousand or so artifacts and curios on my various lists.  I can't see how anything like this would be positive for me in any way; huge amounts of time trying to set any kind of a powerset up and zero inc…
  • I definitely threw more in than I might have otherwise due to auction scarcity, but I could not justify going any higher than I did on the auctions I bid on, so my credit stockpile shall end up waiting for the next auction in 5 years.
  • Also @Bairloch :
    I am a person who does not enjoy combat for the sake of combat most of the time.  I will show up to help my team.  Maybe a …
  • Applying generally goes off of Equilibrium / Balance (sometimes with passive effects too).  Curing uses different things entirely, otherwise you would be stuck either healing OR attacking (so whomever attacked first would basically win because …
  • I am going to try something.  It may be a terrible, but let's see!

    Imagine a high-tech future.  Combat involves personal protective fields, and various ways to overload / get past / disable said fields.  There are man…

    Because you use power / special moves to apply them at a faster rate than the system can cure them, or you use other afflictions to slow down the rate of cure.  You have to learn your offense and how to use it to outpace the curi…
  • The point is so that you do not HAVE to do what you say you do not want to do ("write a system to play the game for me by curing or import someone else's code to do that").

    Combat is a system of applying afflictions t…
  • You are talking about an idea posted to the forums.  I have already agreed with you that forum response rate is not ideal.  You won't be able to talk me into a belief I've already held for 9 years! in Player Retention and Growth Comment by Xenthos October 2018

    If that's what you got from my post, then you didn't bother to read it.  You're taking your own biases and throwing them at what I say to read whatever you want to out of it to reinforce your own viewpoint.  I've gotten replies t…

    I send emails whenever I run into something that I think could be improved upon / done differently / etc.  Sometimes it gets a response, sometimes it gets dealt with, sometimes there's just disagreement (I currently have one emai…
  • You can cast it on anyone in the area.  Odds of success increase with timewarp.  As such we will obviously have to discuss restrictions on use during testing.

    You already "negatively impact others" through the moving of resource-generating mobs back and forth (flipping furrikin from Estelbar to Acknor, silk spiders from Angkrag to Dairuchi, hemp farmers between Estelbar and Delport, et…

    Just going to add it here so it can be reviewed / seen later (I know I already sent the list to you in-game, so please excuse the repetition!).

    Some comm-quests exist but can't really be done right now …

  • Ohh, I missed that when I was looking through it.  Thanks for pointing that out.  That does help, so my concern is partially alleviated.

    I think that the idea of grouping things so you pick and choose one effect from …
  • I somehow managed to make a post just as you were making a post, so you might miss it. :P  Pointing it out just in case!
  • It's a little hard to tell because there aren't exact numbers, but the biggest concern I have is how much passive Timewarp stacking / increasing there is in here.  Most other build mechanics are: "You can build at X rate, the other person cures…
  • (Quote) Forging is even worse.  A platinum scaled jacket, costing 14 platinum, is mechanically the same as a suit of fullplate that costs 250 commodities.
  • (Quote)
    What about something simple, like:
    1) Doing a commodity quest gives you a commodity as well as putting one in the village store (it has to do the village store part so it still increases tithing), and
    2) Each …

    We're not talking about the seal honours, we're talking about "So and so survived the encroachment of the Avatar of Kethuru" or some such.  All the previous ascensions had one of those for everyone who was active during the final…
  • (Quote) Veyils did get a line, but as far as I know nobody else did.
  • (Quote)
    Were they?  I don't see anything for that.  Just the 500 C.E. stardust thing for the "repeat year".

    And I know we were told we were getting honours for being the last guild leaders (I don't see those), …
  • Also, a few questions on "things that got overlooked":

    1) What happened to the honours line from the last Ascension?  I think that's the first one that we didn't get a line for?
    2) What happened to the honou…
