I'm curious why your two viable paths exclude:"Increase commodity availability and address tradeskill gating" - why don't you see that as viable? Sure, you could add things in where people can craft things and sell them off to gold …And let me add that Ixion is correct on the gating issue for certain types of trades, like Tattoos. That's been a problem and still is- I know we've been asking for the gating to get looked at / removed frequently, too.I'd happily h…(Quote)1) It depends on what you mean by "a problem" - right now, the problem for everyone is the commodity problem, which is part of the economy. Prior to the decision to push for comm scarcity, I think the problem was mo…Who besides Saran thinks that mass decay of everything is a good, compelling game design for Lusternia and would make their gameplay more fun?
You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. Lusternia simply has too many things to have to replace on a regular basis. The tediousness of having to replace it all is not going to be a net benefit for the player experience.
You're misunderstanding / misinterpreting his thoughts, I think.He's "okay with trades not being huge money makers but rather something somebody does because its a fun and creative outlet" - this is actually the way …Decaying clothing and armour isn't going to make it any more worthwhile to make food for shops.
You make Achaea's system sound very unappealing / unfun somehow, Mboagn. I'm really not sure that we should be fighting over basic comms.
1) No more huge comm upkeep costs on research, and/or failing to upkeep research shouldn't drop you a level, but instead just deactivate the research until the upkeep is paid.2) Make generation more consistent; there should be valid …If they're still decaying after the changelog, I'd strongly suggest BUGging / emailing Support about that...The whole thing is supposed to be on pause until they can review & chart a new course of action for sketches.(Quote)Plus the positive ticks get curtailed so much that it makes trying to make that up very, very difficult.I'd also like it if the "done enough to upkeep your honour" just required a certain # of ac…(Quote)Nagasith (the player race) can't breed at all, they aren't from our timeline. The nagas left in the caverns now seem like a completely different race at this point, but it is an interesting question...I was going to c…So you cherry-picked a few snippets- some of which even undermine you. For example, "People have come back to Lusternia and went out of their way to attack me, or generally be an ass because Zagreus was given ascendancy as well" - the peo…(Quote)Maybe you should actually read the PSA? None of the people on his side wished for him to leave, and certainly weren't targeting and murdering him as a priority.Edit: Statements like yours are a big part o…Thank you. Acknowledging and escalating it into the next project slot is a good start.
I'm actually going to go a step further than my last post: I thought I was clear on what I meant (as I was replying to Kaikazu). Maybe I wasn't as clear as I thought. So, I will apologize for in any way making you think that I'm t…(Quote)Okay, I think I see your confusion- I am not in any way saying that this thread shouldn't exist. In fact, I think it's good that it does exist. My point about the forums not being an appropriate place is not saying…(Quote)I am airing the opinions important to me. You're airing the opinions important to you. That's kind of how a discussion works. Of the two of us, you're the only one who has flatly told the other to stop talking, stop participat…(Quote)I have also stated:1) The forums are not an appropriate place, because they are frequented by a small subset of the game's players,2) It is probably better as an in-game thing because that is where the…(Quote)I do think that they should have done something for SL at the time to make both sides feel that they were invested and involved in the decision. I made that clear then; if they had done so, I don't think we'd be in as bad …(Quote)Hmmm.1. "Also, Vexacion, you can be appalled all you want, but the evidence is pretty clear. Players aren't making it "seem" like anything- the decisions cost the game players."2. "Not because t…(Quote)I'm not sure how those are conflicting statements. To me they are both saying the same thing (which I've also been posting repeatedly through the thread). I think that the admin are capable of a great many thi…Also, in reference to your question about mechanics: I think that you're right, I think that things would be very different right now if different choices had been made and all other mechanical things were kept the same. That…Playing ascension to make the other side "lose" isn't a majority opinion (you'll note that I'm not really bringing that up myself - though it was definitely a strong subcurrent for some), but the notion that Ascension's aftermath has crushed mo…The Ascension has everything to do with game balance- as in, the state of the game right now, and people's willingness (or lack thereof) to participate. Of course you got over it- you got exactly what you wanted, and the other side stop…(Quote)I shall comment, because this is an important topic. Further, that is not what I said. I am not completely shutting down discussion of the "before time"- I even acknowledged that it was fair to raise points from then as a…(Quote)No, we cannot. Why, you might ask? It's quite logical.Let's say that your side suggests improvements. Maybe they're good, maybe they're awful, who knows. It doesn't really matter. They could spend thousands …Players on both sides took advantage of the issues- including Ixion (the lag locking down our team for the first half is the only reason he had such a long unbroken streak holding the staff, he was left alone with just one/two friends for long …(c) Iron Realms Entertainment 2012.
