Re: Lack of Raves VI: Rave Today, Tweet Tomorrow
Thirded. I either never finished or never read the Elder Wars for some reason over time, and recently read through all of them. The amount of interesting and sometimes surprisingly-still-relevant things in there is great. I even stopped rereading Words of Radiance to read the Elder Wars instead.Ghibli said:I've been playing Lusternia in various shapes and forms for many years and have only passively absorbed much of the lore; that is to say - I never sat down to actually read through all the Histories. Over the past week though, I've been slowly working through the audiobook versions. If I recall correctly, these were recorded by @Tacita and they're absolutely tremendous. And the story itself... oh boy. Bollikin ripped my heart out. This has added so much to the game for me and if you haven't read them, I highly recommend!
Do it.
Re: Lack of Raves VI: Rave Today, Tweet Tomorrow
I second this recommendation! The Lusternian histories are some of my favorite lore in any game. I just reread them myself and there were so many small details I had forgotten.Ghibli said:I've been playing Lusternia in various shapes and forms for many years and have only passively absorbed much of the lore; that is to say - I never sat down to actually read through all the Histories.

Re: QUOTES 8: THE QUOTING
What is true love?
(Ministry of Marital Affairs): You say, "You return to find Daraius sprawled on a bed of rose petals. "Such a gift you have given me," he says as he flashes you a charming smile and beckons you to approach. As you draw nearer he unexpectedly rises to his feet and steps aside to reveal a nearly nude, oil-slicked clangoru posed seductively with a lascivious grin on his face. Gesturing to the dwarf, he says, "Allow him to return the favor.""
(Ministry of Marital Affairs): Sylandra says, "Sylandra's expression turns ice cold as she whispers, "I should have married Casilu."

@Orael
Thunderclap, does it do a rooting check, or bypass rooting?
-3/-16 doesn't make sense since max buff is +/-13. Change to X/13 for consistency.
Endgame: The math seems overly harsh here. 2 perk points is 10 levels is 950million essence, and 4 perk points to get more than one option is 2.9 billion. Yeah, no one's ever getting that. A decent ratio would be to expect max lifetime rewards at... let's say 2 billion. That's years of work for a serious hunter, unobtainable by most everyone.
I assume you want people to get 2 points without years of work, and then it being tougher past that. Here's a better layout:
~2 Billion essence yields 20 levels aka 4 Perk points this way. In tandem with this, the crit% is not tweaked optimally I don't think either. Give 0.25% crit per level (capped at 20 levels, not perks, for 5%) and that seems scaled better. Do for weight also.
Edit: I also think multiple sealbearers should get more than one freebie, but not more than 3 total freebies no matter what (maybe 2 is more reasonable here for a non-TA), and they are still more limited by the demi/VA base weights compared to TAs.

The worst part was the pending adoption in the family that was stuck at month 0 the whole time.Aonia said:Apologies for the four or five instances of the 25th Dvarsh today - we've given the Seal of Time a kicking and things are back in order.
There may be some oddities in existence as a result. If you spot any big ones, please BUG them with as much detail as possible and we'll look into them when we can.
Re: Expanded Membership Options!
I guess I don't understand. What is the benefit of this to players? Buying 12 months at once appears to be a savings of... ten cents. Is it just "get everything in one go instead of extra every month"?
I will confess that I was expecting to see different pricing options to get more people into it (such as a $10/$15 option) vs. a duration thing.
But especially for someone who is already at the "maximum" reward cycle, I can see no reason to switch.
