28 guilds is way too much. Even Achaea, with their far higher population, only has 17 Houses (guild equivalent). Reading this thread, and knowing that at least two other IREs (Achaea and Imperian) have trimmed and consolidated organizations, Lustern…
From what I recall, raiding and conflict is what it is now because of complaints stemming from endless raids on the regular mobs (ladies, daughters, angels, demons, etc.), not because of endless raids on smobs. Except, the admin response has always …
Without being biased or invested in any family whatsoever, doesn't honour loss from suicides make it so family members are more keen on continuously engaging each other in positive interactions, rather "now that I've adopted you I no longer care wha…
For those who don't know, ModularOrigami cost 2 vellum and are packages which prevent the decay of things inside them (up to 25 things). In turn, modularorigami decay in stockrooms.
I actually wouldn't mind if damage abilities are all made usable against mobs (I'm biased, since I want Sun rays in Astrology to do pewpewpew). Grinding is grinding, might as well make it less tedious with more choices.
I'd much rather armour be brought into the resist system. I thought one of the key principles of the Overhaul was to streamline/simplify combat, and lessen the exceptions?
Despite the -chem and -wood abilities being more geared towards PvP than the traditional mages and druids, one of the reasons why they (the latter) are still more common is because demesnes still provide a significant boost to a PvP group's combat a…
Got debated by a random Glom while influencing that cost me a chunk of exp, then subsequently being accused of starting the trouble. Glad I got from rank 482 to 402 (and counting), though! :>
Raving for Astrology, which is probably THE COOLEST skill I've seen in any of the IREs. Unknown is its combat viability, but whatever! I get to use plants and stars!
To expound more on classes and guilds, each city and commune gets five basic archetypes, which are kind of like templates for classes: Warriors, Wiccans/Guardians, Druids/Mages, Bards, and Monks (Gaudiguch and Hallifax do not yet have monks, though)…
@Yarou I'm thinking the Overhaul changes (stat removal, buff and resist changes, etc.) have made the old astral hunting formula not viable anymore. I recall there b…
Not including MKO, Lusternia was always the most different from the other IREs, which all started out much like Achaea (Aetolia began as a direct copy, while Imperian used templates for its mechanics and classes).
@Anita I -think- the Treasure Maps curio pieces can easily be obtained by rubbing other curios. So, do the ones that give you a handful easily (Waystations quests, …
@Tylwyth I think they became stricter a while back regarding zaps having to look like it's doing electric damage, since it is electric damage. There was a period …
Right, but if you want a Really Unique Snowflake feel to your pack, it's easier (and safer) to customize a fesix pack, rather than risk designing your pack using a cartel where it might unwittingly be used by someone else.
