Re: report 108 - this may not be what we want

To add to this, a lot of celerity buffs are 'always on' (Base, wonderclock's time tattoo, curios, wonderboots, armour enhancement) and don't currently have ways to turn them off. A large part of their value is the 'always on' aspect.
I agree that the first part of the solution would be probably enough to address the problem.

report 108 - this may not be what we want

Hello everyone,

I wanted to draw attention to the decided resolution in report 108 to the issue of cement socks, specifically:

Resolution: We will increase the current resistance debuff to a larger reduction on each failed attempt, as well
as implement a system where celerity and rooting will affect each other. The more rooting you have, 
the more your celerity will be reduced and vice versa

I kind of feel this is highly not what we want and it actually has very little to do with the actual report and the solution and I think it should possibly be drawn attention to. I'd ask for this to be reconsidered because:

1. there's a lot of artifacts, curios, beast powers, etc that mostly deal with celerity and a good deal of people have invested into having a high celerity (sandals of haste for example only buff celerity and price 400cr) or a high rooting or both. Having those two stats suddenly interlock with each other will severely nerf those investments.

2. The issue described has to do with the power of a singular artifact, not with rooting and celerity itself. I feel the first part of the solution addresses this and I have nothing against this.

I simply felt, after reading this, that tying rooting and celerity together will be really painful for a lot of people and I for one would consider wanting a refund on a few of my items that specifically deal with celerity. I really can't picture swapping whole stacks of abilities and artifacts to get from celerity to rooting and vice versa.

Fourth month of more or less isolation thanks to covid ( and being risk group ) is slowly getting to me. I miss people. phone calls and internet voice chats just can't replace this. I do count myself lucky, because my job actually has picked up in business even more, but sitting at home all time (because allergies + covid = not really meeting people at all). I can't wait for allergies to be done so I can actually safely hang out with people again

I'm finally able to leave the house a bit more and see friends, and I feel like I'm missing three months this year. They just vanished. My brain is like... why is it now summer? It was just winter! Anyway, hugs!

I was stressing out even though I wasn't in the running. Plenty to keep us all on our toes with this one.

Re: Leaving Lusternia

It can be convincingly argued that it's the player's fault, and not the game's, when your org has been the beneficiary of many of the game's questionable systems and mechanics for the past years.

Re: What are you reading?

Webcomics I am currently reading:

http://sssscomic.com/
Bit of a slow start with characters you never have pov with again. Totally worth it for the beyond amazing art, adorable characters, and world building. Updates a mind boggling four times a week.

https://www.tigertigercomic.com/
Who doesn't love nautical stories with cross dressing and eldritch monsters from the deep? Lovely characters, lovely art, and love the world building!

https://www.daughterofthelilies.com/
Not a DnD webcomic but definitely has some similar feels to your typical adventure party with lots of twist to keep you entertained. A+ world building, characters, and art!

https://www.namesakecomic.com/
If you're a fan of twisty plots and fairy tales you'll probably like this one! Nice art, beautiful world building, and an amazing amount of awesome characters.

https://www.wildelifecomic.com/
Supernatural with a side of horror. You'll be too busy cooing over adorable characters and dreading the next terrible thing being foreshadowed to stop reading. Amazing art, characters, and draws from a lot of different fables and myths.

https://www.demonstreet.co/
What would you do if your whole street street suddenly went missing? Very nice art, very cute characters, and if world building isn't enough for you can I tempt you with a giant race of sentient ants?

http://www.white-noise-comic.com/
Monsters, spirits, and humans oh my! Lots of fun things here, world building features things like non-human genders for non-human races which is always a plus for me. Characters are adorable, and the art is very nice.

https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/
I'm not even sure I have to introduce this one, it's that popular. Beautiful art that only improves throughout the story, amazing characters and jaw-dropping world building.

Edit: I can't believe I forgot this one!
https://www.bicycleboy.net/
Just your everday cyborg going on adventures with his bike. Amazing art, lovely world building, and... I'm actually not sure what word to use to describe this cast of characters. Read to find out!

Re: Simple questions?

Hey, have you guys ever considered populating your who lists with everyone online, regardless of where they are located? As it stands, the entire game always feels literally empty when I login. There have even been times I couldn't send tells to someone because of plane location.

It seems to hinder interaction greatly.
