Re: Announce post #3123: Experimental Changes
Really need to know how long shock lasts and who's going to get it. Without knowing anything one might dream up tactics like shocking your opponent and then running away until they run out of celerity and have to wait for it to wear off. And everyone loves turtle tactics.

Re: Announce post #3123: Experimental Changes
Recovery is better if it's active when the game detects aggression against you or you against another within a certain span of time, like 15 seconds or so. It should be business as usual otherwise. However, it's worth noting that the existence of wings, amulet, translocator, and other escape skills make Recovery's existence ultimately moot -- and just needlessly burdens those without artifacts than those with. I say that as someone with some of these artifacts that it just widens the disparity.
Additionally, the issue with people running isn't just them running away, it's the ability for people to indefinitely stall by doing things that I won't list here because, frankly, I don't want to proliferate the tactics any more than they're already used. Suffice to say, a lot of them involve stuff like tumbling into Warding.

If you have Shock and run out of celerity, you're suddenly immobile. Recovery exists for combat reasons.
Still, having it so low is pointless. It should be equal to Celerity so normal movement in non combat situations is unaffected. If Shock makes Recovery 0 (which is what it does), then why not have it equal Celerity by default?

Re: Mirror classes
Well then.....it has been a while.
A sect of former Nazetu Indorani were cleansed by the flame after the War of Night, when the Arqeshi were born they found settlement in the rich farmland of Jaru, just outside the walls of the gilded City. It was there the former profession of the Occult found an unlikely partner in animal husbandry. With knowledge of former pacts to the chaos lords, it was then that they saw their strengths amidst the animals ( @Rijetta says only ducks) , the fields, and the faith in the blessings of Renewal.
Shadow - Spirit
Indorani - Farmhands
Necromancy - Renewal
Tarot - Seeds
Domination - Husbandry
Also I am told there has to be a skill called Quackophony if it is all ducks.
Golgotha/Pit Equivalent options
A skill called Farmageddon - Where you get sent into "An old barn" and have to face off against an unruly farmhand and his rabid animals.
Conjuring a pond of ill-tempered ducks, and you have to find the bread.
I am on board for ducks.
SO MANY OPTIONS.

I generally don't reply to combat stuff without Keroc. We hear your complaints, and when he's up and coherent, we'll talk!I would like to say this isn't only combat related as movement isn't only use for combat, while the rest of it is combat related. I am drinking various sour beers and being nice. Also i have a brownie that has walnuts in it.
Carnifex as the largest guild in the game by both lung, people that drink, and alcohol content have decided to overrule any and all such decisions and annex all locations in the game as our newest keep. Resistance is futile just like not choking on Oonies immense sausage is.

Re: Announce post #3123: Experimental Changes
Quoting for the Big Agree. New mages took literal years. Mining has passed at least one expected release date. Loads of things we've been promised - both game-wide (think tying up world events) and locally (Indorani faction) - are nowhere in sight. When expectations have been set for the playerbase (not BY but FOR) and missed so frequently it's a meme (SoonTM), dropping things that clearly involved some admin time but no one asked for is... an odd decision, in my opinion. It seems like there are weird priorities somewhere.Lastly I just wanna say, I really think this is a bad use of resources that produces very little return for IRE or the players. This is just my opinion but I really think time could be better spent creating those mirror classes two at a time (ie. one for spirit, one for shadow). Its been admitted that creating these mirror classes isn't even difficult, there is no balancing to be done, and its just a tedious task of rewriting skill messages and creating a theme. I didn't like the idea at first, but mirror classes would solve SO MANY more issues than changes like this one, not to mention that they would bring a big profit to IRE. They inherently balance tethers because each tether would have exactly the same skills available to them and you'll never have to approve/deny a classlead report based on "Thats a good change, but I don't want to buff/nerf <tether> currently." They also inherently halve tether tribalism based around perceived favoritism toward one tether or the other, a headache that I'm sure our staff could do without. They add additional lore to the game, more things for people to do, more artifacts to buy, more classes to spend lessons on, etc. etc.Just my thoughts, and I sincerely don't mean to sound like a jerk but the majority of your customers definitely enjoy playing the game a whole lot more than running from point A to B or making drastic system coding fixes to accommodate game changes that just seemed needless to begin with.
