    @Aniko I think spirit has vastly outnumbered shadow on more than a few occasions. So I think that may be a touch of an exaggeration as the pendulum tends to swing back and forth quite frequently.

    Also attempting to troll @Benedicto is like the national pasttime or something. Man has tendies for hair.

    When you do your daily mines quest and almost every time you get Cavein...

    Which is doubly infuriating because DIG IS A GOTDAMN CHANNEL!!! -.-

    Maps that make no sense. That's my pet peeve. Whoever designed Dovan Hollow deserves being slapped in the face with a globe.

    Just look at this ridiculousness!

    And that's after hour of trying to make sense of the ups and downs. *grumble*

    Continuum really should feel more logical than it actually walks.
    She/her but also responds to they/them thanks to chilling as Somebody or other.

    Kind of a boggling/irritating mental conundrum I'm having.

    I can understand the benefits of the Sect Ranking drop off if enough time has passed since an actual match. It makes sense. What doesn't make sense is making this sudden change and not giving the person who has the most to lose so much as 'heads up' or warning. From what I understand, it was just a sudden, instantaneous change that completely removed a player's Sect Rating while giving him zero opportunity to adjust to the decision. We've seen players get the same treatment for cheating/gaming the Sect over the years, and suddenly it happens to the guy that consistently proved he was the best for RL years? Yeah, that checks out.

    Insofar as I'm aware that's been the case since the new rating system was implemented which was over a year ago.

    From: Keroc, the Starborn
    To : Everyone
    Subj: Sect Rating

    RANKINGS SECT RATING now has accuracy stars. These stars measure how sure the system is of your placement out of 5.

    The only way to increase your stars is to fight in the Sect more, otherwise it will remain low and continue to fall. If it gets too low then you will be dropped from the board until you participate once more.

    Oh god, I just realized this game has a separate command to send anonesteems.

    Which is actually a good option. If only I didn't take anonymity for granted and sent out my fair share of esteems already...

    Rip.
  • ZailaZaila Pacific Time
    I prefer knowing who's sent me esteems, cause then I can relate which RP I did to how it was received, and subsequently improve/hone/pursue that style or writing/RP/etc.etc. more! If it's random, I have to guess at what was being commented on and it's not as beneficial (although it's always just as appreciated)

    The option is actually really good. It's just that the default option is anonymous on other IREs, which was my fault for not reading HELP ESTEEM to begin with admittedly. And that caught me off guard, that's all :3

    Double post but I don't care.
    Having rooms that are no longer connected to prime in any way still count toward explorers is also pretty frustrating.

    Back again cause I'm still annoyed. The list now includes:

    halls of judgement
    The shadow plane
    Somewhere under the archivist guildhall where skeletons are in chairs
    Delve celebration grounds
    Church of corruption
    Indorani Guildhall

    I know what you mean re skeletons are in chairs. Those are under the old Cabal guildhalls. I can't access it either rip!

  • AxiusAxius where I am
    >.>.... Those are still accessible, @Elene and @Stine they're just... not -readily- accessible. I've been down there in the last IRL month with the help of @Akaryuterra, though I do indicate that guildhalls should -not- be part of the list of exploration guide... and the old Cabbie guildhall should remain like that too.

    5.8 Fellowship of Explorers

    While the entire world can be explored, only certain rooms count towards the Fellowship of
    Explorers.

    The following rooms will not count:
    * Buildings, castles, guildhalls, and havens.


    @Axius

    And yet it shows up as unexplored via the relic.
  • AxiusAxius where I am
    Wasn't there an official statement of "hey, BUG this if it's showing up and it shouldn't show up?" to draw attention to this? I'm sorry if I come off as contrarian or aggressive, just genuinely curious if my memory's mixing up things I thought I saw.

  • TiurTiur Producer
    Yeah, if you know enough about the spot, BUG it. Sometimes they can be super hard to find. Often it's just an oversight.

    major pet peeve: the amount of people that just AFK and not in their Havens. Timers are still ticking for them to give them voting, classlead and other things related to time played in the game.

    This has been frustrating me too for an entirely different reason: RP and org advancement. I want to RP at somebody and send a tell, no response for hours, if they respond at all. Need to find someone to give you an interview for advancement or speak to them for a task? Either they're AFK or otherwise busy.

    I know I can be guilty of being AFK occasionally, but I at least try to get back to people and check my messages and tell often. Some people are regularly AFK or absent, and it makes it next to impossible to get any interaction out of them.

    Seriously, if you know you're not going to be attentive for long stretches of time, please. Do everyone a favor and just log off so the rest of us aren't wondering when or if you'll ever respond to tells or messages. It's super frustrating for the rest of us looking to get some RP.
