@Oleis @Razmael please can this bug be fixed it is becoming a total pain. We can not convert or sire our house members. All because of the lycan update

You hold the jewel shard against the forehead of X person, willing its magic to transfuse throughout his blood. The jewel turns a deep crimson for several moments, then dims to its natural silver.
The will of the Primus prevents you from turning X person into one of the Blooded.

Fix loaded.

Ishin

I actually kinda, like, wish you had to choose shapeshifter or vampire, but maybe that's the vampire-hater in me.

Ilyon

Clearly you're been reading too much Twilight.

Erzsebet

Any twilight is too much twilight.

But lore-wise, a restriction against at least wolf-type does make some sort of sense.

Jensen

Bear makes more sense

Erzsebet

Bear makes sense too, in the sense that they were much more traditionally alignment bound to the light than the wolves. But I meant beyond original sides.

Jensen

Reux

I thought the split was very Whitewolf.

Meh. My first instinct since Malkav is an Imperian thing. Makes me -assume- someone in IRE likes VtM

Riluo

@Oleis you rock, and thanks.

Ezalor

@Reux Most of Aetolia's vampire lore was ripped off that.

Some of it word for word.

Rashar

What're you guys talking about?

I really wish Aetolia vampires were more like Brian Lumley vampires, and not so much like happy fluff vampires.

Anyone who has read and enjoyed Lumley will know what I mean.

Ezalor

Aetolia's vampire lore is pretty much a rip-off of Vampire the Masquerade with Peerage from Dune. Abhorash Nehekhara is named after a vampire from Warhammer. Even my name is ripped straight from DotA. We're terribly uncreative apparently.

Trager

You mean to say... that I too, can play as Ezalor?
To hell with this, I'm going to go download DotA.

The old legacies were torn directly from the Vampire the Masquerade rule set, as well as a lot of the 'this is what vampires are' role play.

Jensen

A few skills, lore items, and general appearances remind me of Bram Strokers Dracula. But who also doesn't enjoy Vampire the Masquerade?

Xavin

To be fair, it's really hard to do anything with vampires that doesn't draw at least a little from Stoker's work. It is, after all, the single most well known piece of vampire literature, if not the first modern vampire story. As for the VtM...well, I wish it just wasn't so blatantly apparent that it happened. I don't know how much of the old rp has been eliminated in recent years but it's disheartening that such a big part of the game world was lifted so blatantly. Granted, a lot of it was, from what I understand, driven by players so...

Gwenith

Something is wrong with the map on the web client. I can barely move logged in. An example is I move one square, it takes half a minute to a minute for the map to catch up and its only then I can put in another command. I would love if you where able to toggle the map window in the client to not show so it can hopefully fix this.

Mariena

@Gwenith I started using the Nexus client at work solely due to this map thing going on.

Aryanne

You can toggle the map off by rearranging the windows and simply removing the map window. The rearranging is definitely a bit buggy, but as long as the main window stays roughly where it started, all works fine. Alternatively, if you just start with a smaller-width-browser window when you load the page, it will come on as ONLY the main aetolia window. In my experience, that's the most effective way to combat webclient-lag

Zsadist

I rage that I have to go to my sister's stupid ass fucking wedding in 3 hours.... I don't even like the bitch! -.- God I hate family sometimes.

Alee

Should be glad they didn't follow EVERY rule in VtM for the vampires else no vampire could ever be out in daylight.

Moirean

Using my freaking 2-RL-week cooldown snowswell item...only to have someone else come in 5 minutes later and compete for the mobs. -_-

At least you didn't let someone borrow it, only to find out that uses the 12 day use for you too.

Zsadist

Whats the snowswell item?

Areka

Snowglobe that takes you to a little snowy place that has wights that you punch for 1 damage, collect the essence, and trade the essence for things (pipes, minipets, etc).

That used to work, Ary. But with the new changes, for some reason at work I can't remove the mapping window (which was my fix for the major lag prior). I honestly like Nexus best, it reminds me of when I started playing!

Erzsebet

Wights are a pain in the ass. I think I've only bothered going to Snowswell like...twice. And I have something like 17 snowglobes. >.>

Didn't realize that it wasn't its own instanced-type area.

Moirean

Or you could just write a script a read forums for the hour you're there... It's not hard, it's just sadface if someone else is there at the same time as you.

Aryanne

I... was under the impression that the snowglobe was instanced!

I hate hate hate that kinda bashing and have nfc how to make a script to bash it with less effort, so I've only done it two or three times. Clearly, I need to find someone to pawn a script from.
