  • (Quote) Psh, Gioia has taste and discernment. All the stuff on Crum is worthless pleb food. What they really want is my 12 platters of bacon wrapped steak stacked on top of each other. That is some fine cuisine.
  • Charlie and the Chocolate Factor[y] - A modern day reimagining of the classic tale, Charlie Bucket gets selected to be a participant on Willy Wonka's newest reality TV show, the Chocolate Factor - a cross between Survivor: Candyland and the Hun…

    While both of those are true points, I think the issue raised is one where "coning down" is a Guardian skill, and Ladantine was a mage. By modern gameplay mechanics, he s…
  • For the cost, I would go with a Great Rune of Razing first. The ability to break shields and hit on the same attack is beautiful. IIRC, it will proc on a beast attack, and that will be the hit that does 50% damage, so it is in fact better.

    Prophecy rituals. Instead of summoning Mother Night and her just yammering about killing Stag again, she could be all "DID YOU KNOW AYDEKSA HAS BEEN MAKING EAFS?! GO KILL STAG IN REVENGE" or whatever.

    (It's been a few years. Try it again guys)
  • Big shout out to the Anti-Glom Alliance! You guys made this Ascension. I'd love to see more of this in the future, because it really made things feel amazing, and we need more of that in the game.

    Here's hoping …
  • I know Orael said it's not possible, and that's sad, but I would 100% support this. I don't think at this point that the sheer complexity of combat and the overly partisan nature of skills is doing anyone any favors. Reducing it down so org-cen…
  • You opened this with one of my peeves, so I'm just gonna put out there that in the real world I can't inflict someone with tonal energy sickness that causes their head to explode if they move, or summon magic crystals that move them out of sync with…
  • for the "weather aura", would it just set the weather conditions in that room at the mild/no malus conditions like an anti-Shaman? Or would it be more like a personal Weatherproof def and weather conditions don't affect the user but do everyone else…
  • Newbies and lowbies can fairly easily expect to get 14/20 credits just on village comm quests, which is a newbie appropriate activity. Yes, there is a certain amount of scarcity, but the idea should not be "make comm quests less rewarding" but …
  • Delport lover clues should be non-exclusive though, since they're just text and the townspeople are horrible gossips. Someone turning things in there shouldn't impact anyone else's ability to complete the matchmaking quest. I -think- it's just Estel…
  • Many years ago, I wrote a book, probably the one I'm most proud of to be honest, about pyrochemantics. Going off nothing more than a detailed review of the flavor text surrounding abilities and the fact that at the time the humoral purgatives w…
  • Really, to me it sounds like the solution is one that people have been asking for anyways - add more conflict events. Find some way to make those, there have been plenty of ideas over the -years- people have been begging for them. And now you can fo…
  • (Quote) I'm going to say that poteen pots (hard to assemble curios with random effects and heavy amounts of drunkenness added that not everyone can deal with/heal off), lucky clover (from wheel spins, not everyone was able to stack 10 years w…
  • Vote weight also seems to update once a week (weave on Sunday, iirc) so don't fret about why it's not increasing until then

  • So make the Wheel not turn cookie items into coins. It's not like that would be an unprecedented change, given all that's happened recently. If the penalty needs to remain, the cookie items can occasionally turn into a small amount of goop, around w…
  • Fine, I'll accept that point. It's still kinda weird to me given all the previous talk about retirement value that's seemingly been fine, or the newsposts and help files that have said 50% since day one, but whatever. They were under the impres…
  • Some of this is hard to swallow, given how the changes have been handled, not just now, but in the past as well. Take this for example:

    >--------------------------[ Changelog Entry #1524 ]--------------------------…
  • So... while Arix's problem may be solved, some of us still have urtraps, enough genies to hit the goop cap without urtraps, more cookies rifted than can be sold, and a market flooded with cookies so they have no value anymore anyways. So.. can …
  • The retire value thing is a pretty bitter pill, especially since there's a changelog that specifically gave retire value to goop-only artifacts that had lost it (changelog 1524). So coming along after the FTP announcement and saying "someone …
  • It's hard to know what to make of this. On the one hand, the announcement of Free(er) to Play, and especially the tone of the blog post make it sound like "the dream has died", and that's sad, because I've loved Lusternia for 11 years now and i…
  • I got to see an open heart surgery today yeeeeee it was so awesome. The nurses and techs and anesthesiologist and even the surgeon were super supportive of me being there and kept dragging me to different parts of the surgical suite to explain diffe…
  • I got a present from my genies yesterday, and I opened it, and it was an Ultimate present containing 45 Czigany coins. And I was so disappointed, not just because we're heading into gnome season and my counter is now reset, but because I would …
  • Is there any particular bonus or benefit that comes along with a manse stable, as opposed to just using an org stable?
  • For yet another year, it continues to be dumb that you get a prize for hanging 5 stockings, but there is no 5 stocking package.

  • One thing I noticed re: influencing is that if you walk into a room and there's something available to be influenced for the part of the quest you're on, a hint pops up telling you to influence it (i.e. when you're collecting water stones and there'…
  • I've been waiting SO LONG to be an Ice Angel. I squee'd out loud when I saw the costume for sale. Thanks, whoever thought this was a good idea!
