  • Citizens of protectorates/associated territories could be very interesting, but I don't know if it would actually solve the issue. If you're a rogue because you don't want to be a part of one of your city options for whatever reason, joining up with…
  • No, it's definitely fire. My fire audit goes down to like...18% at best if I'm actually set up to bash.

    That said, there are two reports in designed to help with praekarri bashing. I suggest taking a look and if you're okay or ambivalent …
  • Benedicto is someone Xavin looks up to and considers a very close friend, though their relationship is more cordial and business related than anything else. On top of everything, Bene is one of Xav's motivators, particularly when it comes to becomin…
  • Xavin looks up to Kalena. A lot. She is a great friend and an even better guildmaster. Xavin has been a bit worried to approach her lately, though a lot of that is in his head from the whole little-bit-of-treason thing. But I don't think I would be …

  • It has been a long while and I'm a little nervous about what people might say, but I'll give this a bump.

  • IT has been a pleasure to watch Emhyra grow, though I don't think we got nearly the amount of interaction I would have liked. I'm glad to have you around!

  • We haven't interacted too much (at all?) outside of order-related business, but I find Linne to be very interesting. I'd be interested in more interaction, don't stop!

  • Everything I dreamed it could be and more.
  • I think I'm going to drop in a classlead asking for a feed/deliver to X% and a verb for each class to drop bloodlevel to a desired percentage. with maybe a second classlead asking for an adjustment to frenzy/deliver that would allow it to benefit fr…
  • Thread necromancy, but I've been diving into Akkari pve since the release. This guide, I think, is very accurate. I can't speak to how it is without artifacts, but modern calculation of DPS should include critical hits. Following this guide, this is…
  • I didn't realize that the floor was 30 kills in an area, thank you!
  • I added several more death lines to the trigger, but I'm having some issues. Some areas just don't want to show up - an example is the Fractal Bloom. Any ideas?
  • I'm going to echo the 'try 1h bashing' with templar sentiment. I've found it to be better than 2h bashing.
  • I'm not sure if that's the best option, honestly. They already have the choice between dex bal and int eq between bonedagger/decay. With old staffcast it was coded so that use against mobs used less eq than use against players. They could do somethi…
  • (Quote) Maybe I'm mistaken but I was under the impression that unless you had vote weight at the start of an election you wouldn't be able to vote at all, though it isn't -too- difficult to get a vote weight up.
  • If it has to stick around, maybe a number like 49% of active members can be from a different city?
  • One of my only complaints is that the conclusion of events has seemed to happen on Fridays more often than not. That can be a hard thing for some people to schedule around.

    That said this was an interesting and fun series of events with s…
  • Can we possibly get a preview of what the skill sets look like?
  • It's really hard to have sympathy for someone getting themself entangled in PK when they are trying to bash to 200 through their own actions, especially when that person, as Sryaen said, shouted about making it their goal to prevent someone else fro…
  • While it would be interesting, that sort of cooperation would go in direct opposition to the things both Duiran and Enorian have had drilled into them over the years - Shadow being the source of Dendara's problems and a massive danger to the Oak, an…
  • (Quote) There have definitely been times where this reaction is justified, however, and it has happened enough over the years that some players get very defensive about it. To the point where "It was Severn/Chakrasul manipulating Enorian all along…
  • The fact that you have people outright calling Spinesreach dead weight and saying "why should we be obligated to help them when all they do is drag us down" speaks some actual problems. Are they actually going to -want- to work with people who talk …
  • I have heard over and over that Shadow tends to not be so good at helping new people learn, focusing on a culture of self reliance. Maybe part of your problem is calling your tether's other city 'dead weight'. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, or so hard…
  • The cities do have independent RP, though. If you think that everyone in Enorian cares about everything Duiran does and the other way around...well, that's just not the case. But there has been a lot of roleplay and working together that has built u…
  • (Quote) Making each city more independent without forcing the breaking of relationships would just end up with a situation like we have now. The only difference would be that there's not a mechanical enforcement. And tethers would still need to ex…
  • For that to happen there would have to be some very monumental shifts in both player and in game culture. Tethers really only hard coded something that has been more or less fact since I started playing back in 2006 or so - Duiran and Enorian have a…
  • (Quote) It's not just that. Multiclass has been around since what, 2009? The whole point was to separate the roleplay of guilds and classes a little. I honestly can't believe that in $(currentyear$) we have people trotting out the argument that yo…
  • Got my definitions mixed up like a derp.
  • The issue is that fun is subjective, not objective. What is fun for you is not necessarily fun for everyone else. That is why we generally need to rely on rules as written and if there is uncertainty, issuing yourself to ask isn't a terrible option.…
