  • Not sure where to put this in, but HELP OVERHAULCURELIST could do some updating (for example, I think kombu no longer cures anything). It's useful for newbies who are coming in and want to know what cures to actually get.
  • I don't understand the timewarp bait, though. It's always been possible to stack it, like tempinsanity or any other affliction, for that matter.

    EDIT: Or is Mag still eating horehound for timewarp?

  • Honestly, I don't mind if we have more demigods running around. Does anyone really like the grind? Besides, 'special snowflake status' is at Vernal, not demigod, anyway.
  • We found a Rattata at our school cafeteria.  :(

  • If we start deleting larger orgs, how is that decided? Population? Activity? Say good bye to Gaudiguch, Glomdoring, or Hallifax. Seniority? Good bye to Hallifax and Gaudiguch (or Serenwilde, Magnagora, or Celest...). It's easier for the guilds, sinc…
  • No, the US just gives Israel the money to buy the guns and bullets. 

    P.S. Alliances have been the norm in Lusternian politics ever since Glomdoring came out and it became easier to split 2v2 (and 3v3 after Hallifax and Gaudiguch…
  • Raiding is not like other avenues of PK. The raider chooses to fight. The defenders do not -- they must, for the sake of roleplay and morale. Defenders are well within their rights to bring down the biggest hammer available.

    If …
  • This is just an opportunity to turn Arthar'rt into a floating observatory.
  • Right. Aeon is such a powerful affliction to have that, because of it, I can see why Researcher isn't getting any support for offensive buffs. But it's such a lame crutch affliction, would support to divorce it from the class (and any class that has…
  • Note that the above is mainly from the perspective of Astrology as a tertiary. I'm not familiar enough with Lusternia-version Tarot to know its balance times or the pool of afflictions it has access to.

    EDIT: I don't know why th…
  • Okay, long overdue. Ran some numbers.

    Timechant Aeon: ~2.7s EQ
    Timechant Aeon (Quickening): ~1.6s EQ

    Astrocast Aeon Ray: ~2.2s EQ
    Astrocast Aeon Ray (Quickening): ~1.3s EQ
  • Tbh my mental image for ribbachi is a melted marshmallow. I kind of miss my fleshy friends!
  • A meteor a day keeps them raging, hooray.
  • But just so the rainstorm doesn't appear to be useless:


    The stars in the sky burst into pale flame as they descend through the atmosphere,
    hurtling towards…
  • Actually...I just killed mystics and ritualists. Ask @Versalean who actually stayed around.

    10/10 for the rage, though!
  • The thing is, I don't see any of the people who are supporting the deletion of Aeon even acknowledging the fact that it will require a Researcher (and maybe Moondancer, depending on the route they're taking) rework. The most we've gotten is "That's …
  • IIRC, there was a period when Celest dominated villages and managed level 3 feelings while being in Religious goverment style. From what I remember, it's something like 100 full rounds (influencing all villagers) to get from neutral to level 1, 150 …
  • Wait, we have people who are saying Researchers can get buffs to compensate the aeon loss, and people who are saying Researchers won't because the class will still be fine. Mixed messages.

    In any case, arguing that Researchers w…

  • (Quote) Yes. Ablaze room + passive demesne tics + telekinesis fire + firemead which all Gaudis can drink combines for a pretty hefty combination.
  • Achaea and Imperian both have far more balanced combat mechanics than Lusternia. Achaea dealt with Aeon with a pretty comprehensive serverside curing + limited aeon access. Imperian went a whole new direction and gave a new function to aeon (basical…
  • I, personally, don't mind changing mechanics as long as everyone first understands how exactly they work. Too often have people argued over an ability with neither side understanding it completely (ie Paradigmatics Badluck's second incarnation). As …
  • The 'setup' is with the Oracle/TimeEchoes effects. They have a chance to deal out the Timewarp necessary (after Shatterplexing) to Timequake.

    By the way, Oracle and TimeEchoes fire ~14s, slightly randomized, each giving 1 timewa…

  • EDIT: Holy shit, I'm sorry if the formatting is terrible. Phone forums are a mess.

    I've got numbers! I'll post them once I get home to my laptop this weekend. Basically, for the moment, a Researcher needs a certain a…

  • (Quote) That's actually something I've been toying around with as a Researcher. The problem with Aeon as it pertains to Researcher is that, outside Aeon/Timewarp, there aren't a lot of spiritual affs that Researcher can hide Timewarp (t…
  • I don't mind the 2D space much. There is a balance that needs to be struck between complexity and viability, especially in a MUD.
  • I've been meaning to pull apart Researcher offense to see and maybe disprove its combat effectiveness 1v1. Basically, outside aeon (and supporting affs like timewarp and asthma), Researcher offense is pretty lackluster. More on this later when I hav…
