  • Hey, if you all really want to insist that they are super terrible, by all means add a 1/5 bal/eq bonus at Demi and make it 2/6 at demi+ to One With Nature.

    Alternatively (or additionally), add the ability to the races to summon a Dryad t…
  • There is a broken class (warriors) at the moment; apparently there are not the resources to fix it right now.  That makes it really hard to believe that there are the resources to review all the races again any time soon.

    You can italics …
  • I am curious what race you made it for.  Ideally other races would have decent enough demi powers that you would review and change every so often depending on what you are focusing on.  I know that is what I have done with my pipe (though I have not…
  • Seems more like flying and you have the same seat, but they ran out of the beef and you have to eat the chicken instead.

    Did anyone buy a pipe for furrikin and only for furrikin?  If so, I can see that person feeling like it is a n…
  • I do not consider changing Furrikin to be nerfing the pipe, personally.  The pipe is still doing exactly what it is intended to be doing (giving access to existing demi powers).
  • What are your refund plans for people who paid real cash for that specific power, as-is, and currently suffer from having way more credits and crystals than they know what to do with?

    You are suggesting significant nerfs to a very expensi…
  • If general demi powers were made more PvE I would have more options to select from as secondaries; I think it might be interesting to look into, at least.

    But you then do have the issue where you are gating PvP racials behind a paywall, s…
  • Good changes in the changelogs.

    The only remaining thing I have is that I think people should be able to swap out their gearboxes without a cost, I really liked the GET command working on them.  If people want to invest that much into buy…
  • (Quote) So what's the speed?

    If it's 3 seconds, you could yank out up to three gearboxes (the worst damage typings) and still have higher raw DPS (yes, unaffected by damage typing, but even so).  1075/3 = 358 DPS, vs. the 35…
  • (Quote) Depends on the speed, still waiting on an answer on that.  If they really are 3 seconds, then they do more damage AND split up.
  • Oh, neat!  That's certainly useful.
  • Okay.  I'm scrounging Moi's quote from another thread:
    "gearbox formula is 925 + 25 per additional gear (max 9 gears) for a minimum of 925/3s and a maximum of 1150/3s
    wonderwand is 680 + 30 per additional gem (max 19 additional gems)…
  • Unblockable can't be buffed, though, so that's not really great.  Sure, can't resist it, but also means that you're lowering your damage (even universal doesn't affect unblockable-- hence it being unblockable).  Unless that changed just for the buff…
  • Posting bugs is fine as long as it is not abusable.  That rule change happened ages ago.  If you can use it to generate billions of gold, don't post.  If things are behaving weirdly but does not actually break things though, it is okay.

    T…
  • I have a bug reported with that and my multitool too.  If I loan my multitool out everything inside it resets to me (and leaves the multitool).

    Would be really weird if gearboxes did that though.  Then again, I never thought that curios m…
  • (Quote) Jewellery curios show up on probe.

    The only trick I have for tailoring curios is ITEMLIST PRESTIGE (or maybe it is CLOTHING).  The red ribbons are on whatever is super terrible looking, and the others are on the things that…
  • I would think the splitting damage not flowing onto another target is a bug, was that bugged?  It was the entire point of the idea when presented (though implementation obviously changed a bit!).

    Steingrim: Can you GET GEARBOX FROM ITEM? …
  • Okay, adding additional damage per gear definitely skews things towards more gears being flat-out better vs. just more efficient on low health mobs.  Thanks for the numbers!
  • The best damage overall should be 9 gearboxes, BUT the actual difference should decrease as you add more gearboxes (so going from 0 to 1 would provide the most benefit, whereas going from 8 to 9 will probably be statistically insignificant).
  • Look at your log again.  On all of your other belches, there was a prompt (a delay) between the belch and the critter popping.

    It looks like on your fourth one you got the command through before the critter popped, because it has no promp…
  • You can SURVEY a room to see what area it is in.  Some of those branches do not actually go to the new area immediately.
  • Another repeat-year issue: Elections started before the year change had an entire year added onto them.  There's a Darkhammer election with 320 days left on it right now!

    That's a long election!
  • I decided to give a single package a try.

    The iron coin was not very exciting.  I got a pack of 5 ikons (10 credit tradein value).  Ikons are a bit silly.

    However, 4 of the 5 presents turned into an exceptional (with 50 present…
  • That one just started this weave though.
  • I would assume Bards/Scholars/Pilgrims/Power.
  • If crowns let you (and only you) teleport to the area that they are for it would be a huge provement imo.  Bubblixes would still be loanable, so might want to buy / keep for that, but for people who are already maxed on regen, resist, and influence …
  • Don't think that will work, most things like that are hard-coded to how many can exist at a time.  That change would mean that only 1 person per hour could get leaves (unlike now where if someone wants to just collect a couple they can only get as m…
  • Mathematically that is wrong.  Having more hits crit does not raise your DPS.  Criticals are just a multiplier.

    So if you have 3 small attacks that do 10 damage each, and each one gets a 4x crit, you end at 120 damage.

    If you h…
  • My idea was that if you have access to the Cleave skill, the great rune just automatically acts as if you used Cleave (adds 1s to your attack time) at full damage.  Removes the need to trigger one vs. the other, but does not really impact DPS much a…
  • It is certainly a big deal for warriors when using the rune over raze actually lowers our DPS.
