  • (Quote) The strawpoll was me.

    It was a response to something, and referring to moving the code cycle so all but emergency fixes were moved to being loaded in once a week rather than as they were available so they could be tested by…
  • (Quote) I fail to understand how '100%+(modifier based on how long it's been since somebody else has done it)' is a nerf. At all. Or in this case, 150%.

    At this point, I'm just going to step out of this thread for a day or so.
  • (Quote) There's a base set. Nothing will ever drop below 20 gold right now if it drops more than 0. So for lower level drops, the cut might have been less drastic than 1/10. I hinted at that a bit in my edit to the changelog.

    As fo…
  • (Quote) Pheslida is actually the quest I was referring to earlier, and it's a permanent unlock, not something one person can have unlocked at any time (that would be a tad awkward).

    EDIT: I misunderstood your question, sorry. As f…

    This is something people have said is a problem for years. Also th…
  • (Quote) I will note that there are some high level areas that do have turn-ins, they are just very recent and not many people know about them. The people that do know about them are using them quite heavily however (one of them might need to …
  • I'm just going to put in my two cents.

    This isn't a business model thing. This is purely economic. We are trying something new and seeing if it sticks to the wall, and frankly it might not. However, I'm not entirely sure it's as bad for l…
  • This is very clearly a bug. If it is being abused and it is issued that it is being abused, we will look through the powerlogs and I will be very annoyed with the person(s) who is intentionally abusing the bug. Whether folks have collectively decide…
  • (Quote) Irillia's answer is correct on the blood front, and I can't speak to the saltiness of salt, but I just though I'd say I just check through the code and confirmed that salt vs blood changes nothing but the appearance of the zodiac circ…
  • Refactoring is hell.

  • Power outage. Estimated time everything coming back up is 2am. 3.5 hours from now.

    Guess I'm coding by candlelight. At least until my laptop battery runs out. 29% left, gonna make it count.

    Or maybe I'll just sleep.

  • (Quote) There have been no changes to the gold throttle or any gold drop code in the last 8 months, and the last code change was improved logging for quest gold drops.
  • (Quote) As Phoebus said, the only real way to fix us is for us to move a few things around on the forum side, and you'll need to email support@lusternia.com for us to do that. Vanilla Forums is a tad unfriendly with our new OAuth setup, and t…

  • (Quote) Iron coins are basically better coins. Credits, dingbats, wonder crystals, fortune cookies (which we just changed it to), giftbag rewards (essentially what you get in presents). Though being frank, I made a change to add fortune cooki…
  • (Quote) In the Nexus settings, you can uncheck "Do not show any prompt lines at all" to enable them.
    Alternatively, CONFIG PROMPT ADD LINEBREAK will technically do it.
  • (Quote) 20 goop is converted to 1 credit for the purposes of retirement. All values use their full purchase value, not their tradein value. Trading in might actually be shooting yourself in the foot.

    There was no extra pathing code added, and path find/path shortest use the same code with a single boolean difference to disable enemy rooms. The more likely issue was how Pandaemonium is shaped (there's 3 separate sections you …

  • Due to the coincidental timing of Wildnodes and the Ascension Gala, instead of having Wildnodes fire based on game population, we will instead be initiating it at 4pm GMT so as not to interfere.
  • (Quote) The Achaea change, which was proposed both in this thread and on envoys, yes.

  • (Quote) Yes. Just email artifacts@lusternia.com with your additions.
  • CITY/COMMUNE UNLOCK DOOR <dir> should work? Pretty sure it does. It's also tied to chancellor in privs, and doesn't seem to cost gold. Also shows in priv list unless something is going terribly wrong on our end.
  • (Quote) For context, this log was from an A/B test I did where I disabled gem protection on QW game-wide for about 2 minutes (leaving <> around anybody gemmed to distinguish them). No plane or continent changes were made on top of this,…
  • (Quote) Shallamar isn't Astral. It's Nil before it was Tainted. Depending on your philosophical perspective, either there's no way to get to it because it no longer exists, or you can get to it if you go to Nil.
