  • Yes, please! My poteen is doing a number on me.
  • Yay, I finally finished my poteen pot! I'm super excited both for that, and for the fact that being suicidally intoxicated month after month gives me plenty of manse time to work on my system while I build tolerance!
  • I picked up Cavalier, Athletics, and Forging, because I can never find someone to enhance my aethersuit. :-/ Saving the rest in case something gets implemented, otherwise likely dumping them into curios.
  • In case anyone is curious and doesn't feel like doing math, if you have all the core skills transed, you get back 7380 lessons, enough for a bit over 4 trans skills.
  • (Quote) Only useful to Dreamers, but I just realised you can see yourself from your dreambody, so it's helpful for that subset of us, at least.
  • Can you attach a great rune of razing to a whip?
  • (Quote) YES, PLEASE. Even as a veteran it's a pain in the ass remembering to go back into the announce posts to find things. If I was newer, it would only be worse.
  • (Quote) I can confirm that it's certainly active skillsets only. If I flex to a class I'm not fully trans in, my might drops compared to others, and learning those skills don't increase my might when I flex back to a class I'm done learning.
  • (Quote) Given the proliferation of brooches and stoles and such, we really should probably get some way to more easily pick which one is active and it would be really nice to have a line in our stat or something that tells us what we look lik…
  • Unless they changed it, isn't the syntax just ZAP <target>? It used to be pretty cool, but now that basically everyone who seriously plays is a demigod, it's not even that anymore, and given that we have so many demis, it's tricky to buff with…

  • (Quote) I'm honestly surprised artisans can't make mirrors.
  • I'd trade all my mantles for a fae mantle in a second.
  • (Quote)
    YES PLEASE.
  • (Quote) (Emphasis mine.) I think this is basically what I was trying to get at. I was definitely wrong when I said that buying credits is outside of the economy, because for some reason I forgot you're getting them from other players. But you're st…
  • (Quote) If we have a functioning economy, the people who can't bash that area (or don't want to) will be selling things to Artie to make their money. Artie bashes to get their items, they make those items to get his gold (which they of course…
  • If I'm shopping portals, the odds of me even knowing who I'm buying from, let alone bothering to check their status, are basically nil. Even as far as RP goes, Sylphas knows we're not going to strangle the leadership somewhere or cause policy change…

  • Probably Tessenchi. Hallifax seems neat.
  • On the one hand, this would be amazing to have for fun manse stuff. On the other, even if it didn't have combat abilities at all, the market for crystals is still priced based on the power of the wonder items taken as a whole, so I'll likely …
  • (Quote) I wouldn't mind this, but it would be a bit weird. There's no real good way to hide being a 'wood entirely because the ability messages reference their features. 
  • (Quote) I don't think Enchantment needs a "revamp." I just think it's part of the conversation when you start discussing Alchemy. My main issue so far with this has simply been the perceived attitude that literally anything outside of Alchemy…
  • (Quote) I'm starting to think that "derailing" to you is any kind of criticism. You're not the arbiter of what is and is not relevant, which I'm thankful for when your arguments appear to boil down to "because I said so." If you want to discu…
  • Looking at that last gradient in my screenshot, the grey to green, I'm thinking of making a function that takes a line of text and highlights a given substring with a "glow" effect, implemented by finding the string you want and centering a subtle g…
  • Update:
    • Split the code into cgradient() and dgradient(), to work with cecho() or decho().
    • Added the ability to generate the gradients as tables with cgradient_table() and dgradient_table(). This will output a table with integer …
  • To be clear, I heartily back making Alchemy and Herbs decent, and I'm all for putting the teas and such either there or maybe Cooking. It's always annoyed me that Brewmeister could make brews but not design them, so I'd also be fine making it a Cook…
  • I understand it from a trade perspective, but regardless whether Brewmeister is just PK passives or not, I see no coherent idea from you how to deal with them. Things change, sure, but if someone got Brewmeister for PK and is offered the same skills…
  • "Alchemy and Herbs are weak now, let's gut Brewmeister" is a terrible idea. I wouldn't mind seeing Alchemy and Herbs helped out, but regardless of whether or not you see Brewmeister as too much PvP and not enough of a trade, all of your solutions am…
  • (Quote) Feel free! I'm always happy to see someone getting use out my stuff. :smile: One note, after looking over it a bit mo…
  • (Quote) As someone with five classes flexed who is still trying to finish two of them and some terts, I'd adore this.
  • (Quote) I've been thinking about doing this for my fountain, actually. I didn't think very hard before putting it in my fulcrux, and it's the only room you can't really just swap with another.
  • With server side curing, Nexus should be able to hold it's own for a lot of stuff relatively out of the box.
