  • You wouldn't be able to comment during admin review and for pending, you would have needed to vote first but should have received a message telling you that. Others were able to comment. The only thing that changed for the do-overs was the considera…
  • 1) I'm not at liberty to divulge who wrote what report - but I would think you would think this person is knowledgeable about monks. Maybe I'm wrong, but given your comments, I don't think I am.

    2) You say 'bipartisan comment' - I'm sayin…
  • I apologize for the delay in responding but I haven't had a chance to until now.

    I'm not quite sure what is meant by 'sneaky changes in changelogs.' By definition, that isn't sneaky - announcing that we're making changes. That's why we po…
  • I'm not in a place that I can respond to issues about 'sneaky changes' but I do want to reiterate that while we do not police what takes place in discord outside the Official Lusternia Server - if players are sending DM's with toxic or derogatory me…
  • I think the disconnect here is that everyone thinks they need to convince other players that their reports are solid and would be beneficial to the game as a whole.

    That's not the case. You are trying to convince the admin that your repor…
  • I just want to take a minute and explain our position on reports and report comments here.

    All players deserve to be heard. We've always said that outside a very few specific things, players should be able to report anything they want to …
  • This is a volunteer coding project that has been taken on by a volunteer, it isn't something that I'm committing myself to do. When it comes to volunteers doing volunteer projects, we want them to work on something they are genuinely interested in d…
  • I know that many of you were looking forward to this, but unfortunately, it's going to have to be put on hold for the time being. Real-life sometimes gets in the way. This was a volunteer coding project that unfortunately had the volunteer pulled aw…
  • We already stated that we would look at allowing lessons to be traded in for credits and allowing the trading in of trade artifacts.  I don't know that we'll do trade-in on spectral trade curios though as those are gained through performing the trad…
  • I didn't quote it, but I'll answer the questions here

    Will you have access to every spell/herb/potion/poison from the beginning?

    Yes, you will have access to the entire skillset once selecting it. 

    I…
  • (Quote) 1) Quoting us saying we're not going to remove gold drops, but we may look at them and make adjustments

    2) If people are selling things at 1gp, you can buy that stock, and sell it to the NPC that's buying it for more and ma…
  • (Quote) Just to make sure we're clear here:

    Everyone will get one merchantile trade and one artisan trade slot inherently. So where right now, you only get one for free, you'll now be starting off two. Yes, it's specific to certain…
  • We could look at trade artifacts as well and adjust those, we didn't because we didn't want to nerf too many things here.

    We're not trying to make it hard to build proficiency here. I had initially thought that building with proficiency w…
  • I'll respond more in the morning to things, but I need to head to bed now.
  • (Quote) 1) They'll have to perform the trade once a year or something to maintain proficiency - and that's only to encourage buying from active players vs dormant players (primarily in shops). Proficiency at the moment wouldn't be that much o…
  • I'm going to refer you to the overview post that explains why we're doing this.

    Basically, the idea here is you're building proficiency to prevent grinding as much so you can sell things cheaper and more efficiently.



  • Look - it's quite obvious that I'm not Capt Charisma here. I can be pointed, untactful and direct. I certainly have my opinions about how I think things should be and what makes a fun game, and I definitely get frustrated and snappy. But I can tell …
  • You are right, I went out of my way to ensure that my opinion and feelings on the matter were based on the same information the players have. I wanted to ensure that there wasn't a disconnect or different information being displayed between us and t…
  • Not once have I dictated your feelings about this nor dismissed your feelings as irrelevant.

    I don't know why this prerogative comment got you in such a fit, it's me saying they are entitled to do what they want with their commodities des…
  • No, I'm not willing to retract or apologize for the prerogative statement. I can understand your reasoning while also disagreeing with it. As I said, we're going to be addressing it.

    As I said before, I don't want to engage in a debate ab…
  • As I said, I'm not interested in debating this. I've acknowledged the main reasons why players are holding on to them and that we're going to take actions to address it.  
  • I'm not really interested in opening a debate, the worst-off org has enough stockpile in their commodity reserves to upkeep their research objects for the next 1.75 years. Other orgs have enough reserve for closer to 5 years of upkeep. Each object h…
  • I don't think you are understanding the intention of this thread.

    This thread was to gather player input on what our potential goals should be. Not how to fix it, not how to solve the problem, but what players want to see in our game econ…
  • Yeah sure - the update is I'm currently putting together the proposal/plan on the changes we want to make. This will be presented to other admin first for their input and then brought to the playerbase at large.

    Forewarning - I do think t…
  • I'll answer this his place, but I'm not really sure what you are trying to get at, which is why I didn't answer it initially.

    I'm not sure if you understand the intention of this thread - but the intention of this thread was to get player…
  • (Quote)  I'm not interested in making this a thread about Grimkeep and whatever failings you think are there. So I'm ignoring those points to stick to the topic at hand. I'm not opposed to addressing it, just not here.

    I'm confused…
  • (Quote) Okay - but this goes back to my main concern.

    Bob, Bobby and Robert see Greg, Gregory and Grog signed up for a tournament - they know they cannot beat the three G's so they just don't bother to sign up because it's not appe…
  • EDIT:This is in reference to Luxurio, not Xenthos btw. If that wasn't clear

    Look, you need to stop jumping on people for putting up their opinions and their point of view.

    Nobody ever said 'nuke the rewards for people who actua…
  • @Xenthos - I was told that. I was explicitly told that. Maybe you didn't say it, but others have.

    For the record, any changes made to Grimkeep were mad…
  • Just to be clear - I don't want this to devolve into an argument about whether or not you agree with this premise. That isn't the point, the point here is I want to implement systems that everyone wants to participate in. 

    I don't want to…
