Are Horkvali normally based on any sort of insect? Ants, beetles, etc.? Or is there a pretty decent range of choices like kelki have?

Pretty decent range.

Kerryn

Per announce post #2130 it mentions

Misc
----
* We've removed the inability for Syssin (and owners of the Illusion
Staff artifact) to cast illusions while prone and increased the max
length of these illusions to triple their original length.

Is there a reason this wasn't extended to Hallucinations?

Any way we can get the length of Hallucination increased to at least match illusions?

Setne

That kinda sucks, as I (want to) use illusions in rp and sometimes that requires me to be on my backprone.

TBH, I never bother interacting with furniture or anything. I just use custom poses.

Pretty decent range.

Horkvali caterpillar go go?

Stathan

Horkvali Centipede....think about it.

Lim

That would require more than two players, hrm..

Moirean

@Razmael, @Oleis - is there going to be a Great Hunt for 4th of July?

Reux

Me likey great hunt on my burfday.

Ranks in fertility don't grant more damage to your attacks? Attacks don't have a chance to miss?

Ishin

I usually consider Horkvali to be similar to ants, myself. Maybe a wingless bee.

Snrk.

Also, yeah you want to put more lessons into ferality - helps you not miss/ups your damage. At least AFAIK!

From what I recall, I think it doesnt make a difference, at least between 2/3 trans to trans. Oh, I mean this for PvE.

Stathan

I'm curious how low of a chance the venom rag has in the cryptic chests.

Ishin

@Stathan - As low as you can go, bro.

Rashar

I have bought hundreds.

I have received 0.

I've also bought hundreds of relics..

And received 0 pieces!

Is this thing really that neat? Everybody always complains they can't get them.

Ishin

If you get the venom rag you never have to worry about buying venoms again. Ever.

Irruel

On the other hand, venom is cheap - sell 50 credits. 200k Will keep you venomed up for a very long time.

So - great for convenience, but actual worth? Not that much. It's purely convenience only.

Rashar

So is my pigeon but man. That is one overworked bird.

Jensen

As sentinel I was constantly going through venoms or would run out. It was frustrating, and if I wasn't on top of it, it'd fuck up pk bad

As someone playing an extremely weird-looking Horkval, people are pretty forgiving about how you want to play it. Which I appreciate - I mean, I've seen chameleon Xoran, draconic Xoran, snakelike Xoran, etc. People in Aetolia are generally cool about RPing with you to get a sense of why you're weird-looking, rather than dismissing you based on the description alone.

Riluo

Is the Mournhold quest broken, because I can not figure it out. I had gathered 3 bones so far but can not find the other two. I even interacted with the odd pulsing sac and dead cat >.>

Lim

Just to check since I've been asking around-

What are the artifact powers that boost the bashing dps of an Indorani's bonedagger?
So far, I know of dexterity and hunting boon.

Does magic_potence boost the damage?
Bonedagger does magic damage. However, it is not listed in the magic_potence helpfile description.

Thanks!

Interesting thing to note: In the Pools we have a more or less "official" standpoint for what the races should look like. I don't speak for all of us, but despite this standard, we rather like seeing the interesting offshoots you guys can come up with.

SO LONG AS YOU'RE NOT A HUMAN GROOK OR A DRAGON.

I rp a vampiric Koala with eight legs!!!!

Moirean

Dude, stop jacking my lycan form, geeeez.

I've always viewed bounties as something you only do if there is a direct offense to the city from within the city - raiding, trying to PK inside the city, and other shenanigans like that.

I'm calling complete crap on this. I got bountied for going to the crack to rescue a teammate who was lusted TO the crack while he had Ylem Aura and got bountied for raiding. I didn't do -anything- to Bloodloch at that point but the bounty stood when I brought it up. And don't give me the 'that's because I play Eza as a superior vampire stuff'. Everyone knew I wasn't raiding, knew why I was there, but the letter of the law said you -could- bounty me so your city did and you upheld it.

The entire system is such a farce I'm really close to starting to bounty everyone that comes past Approaching Enorian. Per the letter of the law, it would be perfectly legal for me to bounty everyone that takes the east exit of clouds or comes to visit the tear.

I agree with most of the people that say the exterminator started it, they don't get to end it when they get tired of it. If you start something, be prepared to back it up or make reparations. I hate this mindset in Aetolia that you can force your RP on other people (through exterminations, PK, whatever) and if the tide gets turned on you then foul is cried. If you're going to play the antagonist, then you should be prepared for the consequences of that action.

Considering you often chase people (such as those leaving after a lesser is over) to the crack and use your obnoxious exits changing arti to block people from getting into the city you don't deserve any benefit of the doubt when it comes to that. I don't remember what specific incident you're talking about but I'd wager you dropped your arti at the entrance that time too.

Ishin

Done it to folks coming back to Spinesreach too, yo. Moirean in particular, I believe it was.

I don't care what type of super unique snowflake insect that someone describes their horkvali as, I'm going to imagine every single one I interact with either as a prawn from District 9 or just straight up Zoidberg.

And exactly how much does this "official" standpoint have to do with Chris Bourassa's cockeyed "official Iron Realms art" that looks like what would happen if someone explained Kelki to him in three words and he ignored them completely?

Lim

But neither a prawn nor Zoidberg were insects.
