Don't get me wrong, I am fond of my wand... but it is fully gem'd. I don't think I would try using a 1-gem wand.Gnome weapons are better in many cases than wands anyways, but are also somewhat difficult to make. A whip is cheap and…Wonderwand is not great until you have a lot of crystals in it. It does more damage as more crystals are added to it, and takes 20 crystals to max out. It probably shouldn't be your first wonderitem. Wondercornucopia should be, really. It o…You can get a maximum of 20 bound credits per day just by doing things. Quests give a flat amount (once per day). If you do two different quests both will give you the dailies. If you then try to do one of them again in the same day you will…I know we have a bunch of disagreements on various things, but when timequakes first came out I stated to a few other people that I thought they were going to be something that Lusternia had needed for a long time. The first couple of d…Or 100 days of daily questing. Definitely doable if you really want it.
Help Research says all of that for upkeep (except it says 2 noms, not 1, so may just be a bug).
(Quote) Noooo not my broken key! (

Should I go through my list of classified / submitted bugs, including the key that causes an untrapped error any time I probe it? That thing has had five or six bug reports filed on it because it keeps getting dismissed and I have to file a ne…(Quote) How many were contested past the first 10 minutes or so? Every one I've been in has been resolved by that point.
And Timewind is really not worth the cost for almost every quake. Only ones it seems to be worthwhile for are in the Seas. Other areas it's better to just run to the area and search. A full anomaly burned doesn't net you much...
(Quote) It kills one level of progress every time you miss the upkeep (and yes this is confirmed). This is something that I would like to see addressed, because it can be a lot of resources burned.
Upkeep costs are the same at level 1 and level 5 of research. Once you've started the research you're stuck with the upkeep costs forevermore (or at least until all research progress is lost).
Celest took Knowledge, I think?
Sounds about right!
90% of the time, Time Sickle does effectively nothing. So I really hope no org picked Harmony "just for Sickle."It takes 5 minutes base to harvest an anomaly, and 7.5 minutes until a new anomaly spawns, so if you start harvesting wi…Is "Schrodinger's Compliment" even a thing? Google doesn't seem to have heard of it. Regardless, if you insist on challenging compliments because you think they are snide or condescending, and you hear every compliment as snide or condescendi…Here is my wish on this topic:1) People who win an event do not go "hey guys I had fun, good job for trying," and2) People who lose an event and go "hey guys I had fun, awesome job" don't get accused of back-handed c…Can we not do the "people are trying" thing here? Make it a rave or something. I think it's great if they are! But I would like to keep this thread oriented around quake improvements vs. the inevitable org stuff if we keep going down that route. …I am really hoping that once they have been around longer that people start seeing them as being more optional. Show up for daily credits and anomalies if you want them, do other things otherwise. The frequency is, I think, a good reason to n…(Quote) I agree with making the participation easier! My suggestion was to trigger the participation tick on entry to the rift. Just showing up would count. That would be really helpful to my mind. If an org has people that try in ten of …(Quote) You don't get any points for winning a timequake (there is not even a codified way of winning). Just for participation.
Which is why it was decided to not reduce the rewards...
(Quote) I agree, culture should be strong. A good competitive system has strong things on both side, so if you compete in multiple arenas you do better than exclusively focusing on one or the other. Having more conflict points is better tha…It should have some impact like other worldgames. Why not make it tick if someone from the org enters the rift? I know you objected to this for other world events, but you stated that you intend this to reward and encourage trying (including …Just does not seem appealing to me...
(Quote) I hope so, because that's where the true death cost lies. Just dying itself only costs 50k, so removing that is pretty meaningless imo. The real death hit comes with whatever revival method you use.
Do they also stop the exp loss from praying, or phoenixing, or reincarnating? I never tested that 'cause I didn't know that was the intent.
I already have over 100k goop so my interest in this whole thing has been about 0. I do get the impression that it tends to be the same few people who get the trades, though, so I'd be curious how that actually plays out in practice.
What would you think of orgs getting an anomaly-catcher? A device that can catch / harvest an anomaly out of a timequake when one happens. Some examples might be:- A device that automatically generates 1 anomaly for the org o…
(Quote)Thank you. This is something I can understand from a logical standpoint. I still disagree on the upkeep end for the reason I stated earlier. I do agree on the upgrade cost end, if people aren't feeling like they can participat…(c) Iron Realms Entertainment 2012.
