Petty, sanctimonious flags for everyone! BONUS points if you just flag people because they disagree with you. DOUBLE SUPER BONUS POINTS if you only flag people not in your alliance. (Enyalida is winning)
Honestly, Xion's not that bad, just a bit lengthy, and you only have to do it once (though the reset is terrible). Dramube can be relatively quick (it's just hunting), but then you have to handle the math. And you have to do it multiple times to get the line.
Of them all, though, Facility is the worst to me. If you're doing it, work on the Facility while knocking off the other quests. Otherwise you'll be grinding it long after the rest are done.
Oh yes. It has more than one reset and they're staggered. The quest is also really non-intuitive in a few ways, and is basically bugged in a few others - like the speeder always showing that it's facing north when you look at it from the outside, throwing off anyone who doesn't know that it just always says north.
This artifact change is actually going to get me to spend on some of the bodyscan-buffing artifacts (aside from vitals health), finally. 5/13 buff is more enticing (15%) than 3/13 (9%) for the price. And at 13 levels of regen, 26% per tick? That's pretty impressive.

If looking at it from the outside isn't accurate, how can you tell which way it is facing?
Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.

It always starts out facing north. It will only face another way if you turn it, so you have to keep track of how you've turned it.
As a general PSA from the only active forum mod, I've been trying to be very lenient in forum moderation to let everyone get things off their chest without having to close tweets. That being said, there have been several blow ups recently and while this AFK discussion has been pretty tame the last two have been pretty chock full of personal attacks. At this point, even the admin who don't moderate the forums have brought up how things have been going. In an effort to keep the forums open but having some semblance of order, I have a few suggestions/requests for you all.
If you're at post 20+ of an argument in this thread, create a new thread to discuss it there. While someone mentioned that no one is forcing you to read tweets, if you're having a 100+ post argument in tweets, you're actually the person who is in the wrong spot. Also, most of these arguments are really boring and I'm much less likely to read/moderate them when they are in their own thread.
Language rules. Please follow them. I've already mentioned this, but I have already seen a few F-bombs in the past 100 posts that are going to earn a warning level raise. Please earn your warning levels through something interesting, not because of cursing. http://forums.lusternia.com/discussion/2493/language-rules
Don't be a hall monitor or a meta monitor. See HELP HALL MONITORS and HELP META MONITORS in game. The admin will police the games and the forums. There are much more fun and exciting things you can do with your time.
Only flag posts if they actually need to be flagged. Once posts hit a certain number of flags, they end up in the moderation queue and then I have to come look at them. Frivolous flags take up time that I could otherwise use to play Achaea or ignore your Dramube/Orphanage bugs. Please be considerate.
Unrelated to the forum rules, I don't understand the whole AFK debate. Being AFK anywhere except a manse is very clearly against the rules, please don't do it. While we don't consider sitting AFK at your nexus to be as big of a deal as AFK bashing/influencing, it is still against the rules and we can (and will) punish you for it. It detracts from the player experience to have people standing around unresponsive and can be detrimental to newbies who are asking for help or seeking interaction. We also understand that life happens! We generally recommend setting your TIMEOUT to 10 minutes so if you fall asleep, disconnect, or suddenly go into labour then you're covered. If you're someone who knows that you're frequently called away from the computer at a moment's notice and can't QQ or make it to a manse, set your TIMEOUT lower.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.
Well, the changes don't make them necessary, but they do increase the bang for buck by quite a bit more, especially for those archetypes with less access to the higher tiers of certain types of buffs/resists etc. Now some classes actually have a good chance of hitting the max if they buy the arties, where before, even with level 3 runes, they might still not be able to hit the max. This does mean we need to be a little more careful when justifying skillset changes using arguments about max vitals/buffs/resists of the classes from now on.
All joking aside, that was one of the better admin posts I've seen.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
Just RP with them @Lavinya - Even an disfavoured reaction or a coming to terms/understanding with an opposing divine can be good interactions!
Oh, I have/do! But I like to explore the facets of being a follower and having that relationship with said divine, and not just the untrustworthy suspicious icky avatar of the tentacle abomination guy poking around
Petition to bring back END JOURNEY so the alters can get to business quicker again. Don't even make it something that's hinted at so newbies don't have to worry about it, just let the old farts have our special little 'get out of intro free' card.
I think you should be able to register at any time. If you register to a known email, you should be able to graduate. :<

I can handle people AFK at a nexus. It's when there's a newbie around and they need help, and the only one who can deal with that specific problem is logged on but off in a manse mudsexing or being AFK or whatnot and I can't do anything about it except hope that the experience won't chase the novice away while I send all the messages and tells before just giving up and sending a vaguely pissy message to another guild leader/relevant member about said novice needing help that I get frustrated
Hmmm, trying to think of anything else I can use to buff empowering short of going Illithoid, Mugwump or Loboshi - currently sitting at 9/13 with Wetfold, Most Honourable Family, Empowering tattoo, Dragonsblood oil and the 5/13 artifact rune. Only other thing I can think of is getting a beast and teaching it empowering influence.
Any suggestions? (Can't use Netzach as Sakaki is a ninjakari)
Kiss of the Enchantress hisses eerily, "Let them fear, and despair."
Hmmm, that would be enough to bring me to 12/13 - probably as good as I'm going to get without one of the racial bonuses. Does throne give any kind of bonus to influence attacks or is it just to ego/ego regen?
