  • Bard songs cannot help you if you are deaf.  Check that too!
  • I have no idea what your goal here is, but it sure sounds like it has nothing to do with telekinesis and everything to do with general gripery.  You complain about "cash cows," you complain that they have limited resources to work with, Ianir goes o…
  • There's a config for screenreading that theoretically disables ASCII, but I'm not sure how (or if) you can flag ASCII put into a book to respect that config.  Is there such a thing that authors can use?
  • I have to agree with Falmiis: one of the main reasons to avoid giving Institute more offensive things is because of how defensive / tanky the skillset itself is (and one of the reasons why "keep all the defensive things and add back in the passive s…
  • And another Rivius request:

  • Interesting idea.  Unfortunately envoy reports are shut down right now so may have to bring it back up again in January as a reminder for someone to snag as a QoL.
  • You are generally encouraged to always bug anything that does not look right, as Veyils stated.  Sometimes we have an overly zealous admin who likes to take a look at things as soon as they are filed, but that is a good thing, not a bad one. …

  • Getting spammed with cures when the system cannot cure does not sound intended, hence the BUG idea.  If they say "not a bug" that's when it's a good idea to forum-discuss imo, but I'm 99% sure it's a bug and will be fixed pretty rapidly if you repor…

  • Shouldn't you BUG that? :P

  • I think you can mmignore affs that SSC handles (might be some other things too), I know that people have been working to come up with good ways to keep access to the still-useful things.

  • If you have a powerstone with 5% on it and do something that takes 5%, the powerstone will be used up and crumble.  The intent of this request is to save the powerstones from crumbling.
  • Yeah, it absolutely does (which is why I am bringing up alternatives).  I am not actually sure why you can't intentionally wreck some clothing to make it look tawdry (just halve the decay time remaining and make it unmendable entirely to indicate th…
  • I relied heavily on failsafe timers.  Timers for everything.  I am incredibly pleased to kill them all, though I am trying to be methodical about dismantling things (still need all the def stuff, for example).
  • For all the effort you put into this... why not a scarecrow hat and red tailoring bows?  Or at least just the red tailoring bows since you can get those by making tailoring things.
  • (Quote) As long as you WIELD POWERSTONE to start it (and not WIELD ID#), and the game hasn't crashed between wielding and unwielding, then it'll get the right one (because you're working with the first powerstone in your inventory the entire …
  • Why not just have a thing that does a counter from when you start enchanting (make an alias to start enchanting, that first probes the powerstone, and then begins enchanting after setting a variable with the percentage in it)?  Then just have it dec…
  • Beast whistle does not work cross plane / continent.  There is an artifact for that, but iirc it is priced pretty prohibitively.  I just dismiss / resummon.

    The artifact really should not be more than 100cr imo, since whistle/muster works…
  • Pretty sure that was changed... I know Allixea was collecting those beasts recently, for example.
  • If you have mentioned the Guess thing being planned in my hearing it has completely fled my mind-- sorry!  The thing that was coming forward was a flag to "shotgun" cures you mentioned which is also a cool thing (instead of needing to diagnose to se…
  • I would like to expand on my previous statement a bit, actually.  Depending on how recklessness checking is implemented, it could actually make personal systems mostly void.

    One of the biggest things remaining (aside from being able to tw…
  • A generic system will lose out to something fully and totally built and designed for you specifically-- the issue is that it is a lot of work to do that (including upkeep) and there is now no longer a need for a mass-market system that covers broad …
  • Family is Serious Business.
  • Is this generally a thing?  I totally get where Daraius is coming from, but in general I just... don't think / worry about it.  All the teeth need their exercise, I suppose?
  • What if I want to spam-reinfect Versalean?
  • 30-day TDFs are far more overpowered, btw.  Godzap is a short time out and a million essence lost.  A truedisfavour increases all damage you take, makes you need to eat food again, and drops all your skills down a lot (trans skills drop to around my…
  • Lusternia killed me once with masochism.

    Back during the era when it was an affliction, there was an Ascension event.  I was competing.  Max insanity gives random mental afflictions, and when Ascension ends the entire game is frozen while…
  • I have a couple of things.  First, Crow teaches us to control our urges / desires, not to let them control us.  So Xenthos acknowledges that he has these feelings but nevertheless realizes that they are not something that he must act on.
