  • I've held off on posting because I admittedly needed to cool off a bit after the announcement. I'm not going to give my own thoughts here, as I think at this point it is a fairly circular argument. But I do want to pose one question which I think is…
  • Of course our side of things would be mad if we'd lost. Losing sucks, and sucks even more when there are elements out of your control which fundamentally alter the nature of the contest. The lag was absolutely infuriating and it is impossible to kno…
  • Sad to see this, you were great fun. All the best for where ever you end up next, and good luck with the health.

  • I think dls/sups are a pretty good level for smobs. I think we could do those now with thorough prep pretty convincingly, but it would take prep and that's important because losing your smobs can be a massive pain.

    Avatars I'm not so sure…
  • In hindsight I don't think nightcurse needs to have asthma personally, but I'm not active enough to say that with anything more than a vague suspicion. The idea for that did predate the asthma-on-unravel tick thing that went in during testing though…
  • Unpopular opinion: this thread is doomed.

  • Is there a reason the report numbers are so long?

    Might just be me, but they feel very unwieldy to use. Rather than quickly going report 1/2/3/4/5/6/7 you have to keep referring back to the listing. Perhaps I'm missing something here.

  • And the final scores at the end for those interested (this was super close):

  • From the last battle on Scorpio:

    You make out the scent of Aurik coming from an ebon sting smashing through a chitinous heart.

  • Something I haven't seen really touched upon in this discussion is the consequence of the goal that systems like these tend to be aiming for: making less tanky people less easy to blitz with numbers.

    First, that's a good goal. Being smash…
  • Genuine question here, because something @Shaddus said caught my interest.

    Glomdoring has dominated the game for the last ~1.5 years, undeniable fact. …

  • Illusoryself is overpowered in PVP for any class. Bards are not untanky in modern lusternia, and I wouldn't use that to justify why its ok in glamours: I'd rather say its ok in glamours because without it glamours would be an exceptionally …

    No issues with you guys not wanting to fight our squad. Totally understand, Glomdoring's core is pretty stacked atm in terms of arties/composition/experience. You're definitely not bad at combat - you've markedly improved since …
  • I try to assume moderate buffs generally speaking, as the people with everything are probably going to aggressively minmax for their particular build. Faeling/elfen are pretty great races if you're outside that group though, imo (even if their limit…

    I'm not sure what you mean.

    This is honestly why I'm not that invested in arguing this particular point. I'm not keen on roll, but its pretty far down the list of major problems. My suggestion during discussion was to add a 1 power cost to it, but most peo…
  • I mean, you're welcome to that opinion, and I definitely agree the pipe was a huge factor. For myself if wonderpipe got nerfed (which as I said above, I have no issue with), I will primary furrikin with every class outside of acro users, because it …
  • I'd not bother looking in the log thread for examples of when roll would let you live. Its an unfortunate reality that most logs tend to be of people dying, whether to illustrate an issue or ask how to better avoid it.

    Here is one from a …
  • I feel there are two parts to your argument here: the first that if things are regularly happening in the game that you don't like why are you playing the game, and the second that denizen lives should matter to your character. Let me address them s…
  • You should defend if you find defending fun - you shouldn't if you don't. There is a difference between intensity and lack of enjoyment: the former is good and too often the latter is mistaken for it. Emotional investment is important because it can…

    You might have, my mapper was like "you're on your own, have fun". I will never ignore @Kalaneya's theories again.

    Regarding realising it was a bug, you do realise anyone who hasn't updated their systems to use path track go that uses gameside pathing uses path shortest by default, right? This wasn't an obscure command: its the default…
  • Did you guys have someone hindering Ghani for your candidate? That seemed to help a good bit, though admittedly figuring out what hinders Ghani couldn't just walk through took some trial and error (pfifth finally let's me down).
  • I enjoyed the format (thematically and mechanically). The one major thing I would probably say detracted more than added was the mass teleport - this didn't really bother me that much, but I know our newer people got hopelessly lost after one hit. I…
  • Ascension raves time! Only people who were there for the final thing, or I'll be here all day. Will probably miss Gaudiguch people since I only have a definitive Glom list.

  • Death was really intense. Congratulations Ixion, definitely earned!
  • Celestine: enjoyment.

    Aquamancer: catharsis.

    I went bard because Glom needs a bard. Every forest cult should have one.

  • My personal view on synergy is it is a great thing and all orgs should aim to have it. I know some people hate this stance because it means classes naturally stack well in teams. My opinion is that this is a far better state of affairs than the meta…
  • The real tragedy here is that I prepped the last six months for death seal. Fml.
