Yeah, hmm. I'm not sure why Lusternia in particular chose the route of limiting spins purchase. It's dangerously close to "bait and switch"; players buy credits with the promise of being able to purchase for a promotion, but then gating that promoti…

The most bizarre thing about this whole mess is that it has literally happened before.

(Quote) Checking around real quick on the other IREs, and Lusternia's the only one who consistently messes up the promos, even when they're all following the same format (wheel, collectible, etc.). So I'd hazard a guess that it's not a widesp…

And that's 1 broken promo more than Imperian, 2 more than Achaea. I still remember when curios could give out coins, and a clever* player transferred all her curios onto her main to spin her way to wealth and victory. Fun times.
-
None of the other IREs have quite the same payout as Lusternia. In fact, Achaea's seems to be barely a return of investment, so it's probably going to see buffs.
Lusternia, however, has historically had crazy broken returns with the wheel… -
A well-coordinated handful of Shadowdancers lashing will achieve the same effect. Or any guild that can manadrain+manakill, actually. The stun allows for a larger margin of error, sure, but all of it can go by pretty fast.

Group combat has always exacerbated certain offenses. This is not unique to succumb. I don't see why it should be unfairly singled out.

According to HELP GOLD, particularly the very last paragraph, there is a 100k soft cap on gold every 24 hours. Is this actually in effect?
If so, it seems ridiculously low for a cap. With current CFS prices, that's 4cr/day.Does Lusternia still have that "mobs drop less gold if they were recently killed/influenced" or something? I have gotten confused which IREs use what methods versus gold:credit hyperinflation.@Shaddus Sup. I definitely play. Maybe you're too busy taking cheapshots to notice.(Quote) No project that adds awesome mechanics like WALK TO ALLY etc. can be deemed too big!

It's been a while, I'll be first to admit, but comparing these two and calling them equivalent is a bit of a reach.
Unless things have changed a lot, cosmic fire is just a basic attack skill …RE: "People should be on Prime more often so newbies see you"
No. A lot of Lusternian activities happen outside Prime. Astral bashing, elemental essence, fae power, quests galore, etc. That's a good, uniquely Lusternian feature (not plane…Personally, I respond 40% of the time on public channels, but 90% of the time on direct private ones.

Plus, the sheer number of people (10 people per city during offpeak!) means it's almost always possible to grab somone for PK, RP, or whatever messy conspira…Yup yup. Talismans in Achaea. Temporary artifacts for killing boss mobs in Imperian. No idea on Aetolia, unfortunately.I actually think Achaea's version of liquid rift is now better. Fill up your rift, do an initial refill of a vial, and done. It will now automatically refill from the rift, no teardrop sigils required.

In a more constructive manner, we should look at what other games are doing, and incorporate the things done right whilst avoiding the things done wrong. Why is there a pencha…Yeah I really like the train cart that said "we shouldn't even think about bringing nifty little things from the other games to Lusternia, because no comparison amirite."Well, okay. Let's just leave Lusternia as it is. There is absolutely nothing to be improved upon. Its perfection is 100% incomparable.
Also, I think the only thing Lus has uniquely is influencing. Everyone else has a plethora of combat sy…Achaea has a (watered-down, admittedly) version of the Glamrock mechanic called outfits. Everyone has access to it, right out the gate. So, I dispute the notion that the Glamrock isn't basic QoL, and that it deserves, what, 100cr as a price? (Not su…Speaking as someone who has more or less moved to another IRE game, but has also repeatedly tried to get back into Lusternia, I must say that this particular IRE, for some reason, gates a lot of QoL things behind skills.
