I think the rarity of actual lasting death for both PCs and NPCs can contribute in a positive way to storytelling when it actually does happen. As much as it upset me, I can think of one instance in particular where a favorite NPC of mine was killed…
@Araseth I'm really not sure what bug crawled into your bonnet lately but you gotta ease off. You're slipping back into all those behaviors you apologized for and sa…
Oh I didn't mean to imply that I think it doesn't happen. I know it happens, it's always happened. I just like to think that it's not a very wide-spread phenomena. Somehow this is one of the few things that I'm not a super pessimist about.
I don't personally think that political stuff is metagamed all that much, but maybe I just don't see it. The issue with spying on political stuff is that at a certain point people figured out how to keep from being spied upon. Doors, bell tattoo, ey…
If you can know in an instant if someone has graduated from X city's academy or is a member of Y city's militia, I don't see why city membership shouldn't be common knowledge.
@Tetchta there is a difference between using phasesense and literally doing WHO TETCHTA. Divinesight doesn't care about phase or chameleon or being on a different pl…
I'm just going to point out that if someone has a level 20 set of goggles, a 4000+ credit investment, if you don't have a gem of cloaking they're going to be able to find you regardless of if you're in phase or not. That is probably what is letting …
I would be curious if this supposed skill that Luminaries have to seek phased syssin is angel seek or angel presences. Because as far as I can tell, angel seek is identical to the antiquated goggle artifact seek which has all the usual exceptions - …
I would just as soon have nothing for the Ascendril sanction. Simultaniety is literally only done when deffing up and, to my knowledge, nothing strips channels anymore. So the tiny boost to speed there is just ????
I think it's safe to say that some of that does go on in the Spirit tether but I don't think it is all that widespread. I think some of it comes down to people digging in much too hard on the escapism of the game.
I honestly feel like it's worse than that. People, myself included, need to remember that we're all here to have fun. It's gotten way too common that people take the in-character divides and conflict personally and assume that everyone that switches…
The Juxa even was pretty much perfect. It was a freakin' blast playing with the territory capture mechanics, and I think there is even still some evidence of what went on with it around the Ithmias - barricades and such mentioned in rooms. I think t…
I'm not gonna lie, there is a lot of bad look in that log but my god it was all started by one person in particular coming out swinging in a manner that appears to be entirely unprovoked. I think, as a general rule, we as a community need to look at…

I would imagine that you are given a window of time to gather the payment, ex if you need to buy credits on the website to make up the difference between what you bid and what you had on you, and they have to be bound.
My hot take: Uncritable is a modifier that should be used for small numbers of mobs, if not an area boss type mob. It's not something that is fun to deal with in endgame content, especially when you consider how expensive crit increasing artifacts a…
The thing about group bashing, though, is that it will be nearly impossible to balance because mobs tend to hit the last person that hit them. So if a class has a long bashing attack and their bashing buddy has a short one, who is gonna get hit? If …
I'm of the opinion that if you have omni transed your skills and heavily invested in defensive, stat, and hunting artifacts, then there's not a lot of reasons why an endgame area should be so dang hard. A lot of these areas just hit absurdly hard o…

It's turned into this massive thing where apparently Spirit is all terrible people for treating Didi like everyone else in the game is treated, and even giving her more leeway than anyone else but apparently it's a bridge too far to hit ba…
