Re: I'm at a Loss
@Stine you told Eliadon don't bother using Smash the day the nerf went live.
@Toz last time I checked in order to go from 0-7% where it supposedly elevates straight to level 2 you had to use an attack... so that attack... plus smash = 2 attacks. I haven't ever heard of anything like that before... all I can tell you is smash is 25% and break from limb damage is 33%... so if it did give you that 1 extra percent... well that is about 1% better than i thought it originally did... and what i claimed vs what you claimed because 25+7 = 32...
@Daskalos the limb damage route I feel is truly gimped. As all crush damage has been in essence been downgraded one shield size per shield, no balance times changed of course and is still missable and parriable. Of course smash can only be used every other attack now so...

Re: I'm at a Loss
Also to be helpful for a change- I think classes that don't get touched get buffed to up the number of people interested and using it. so those buffs accumulate - if it was viable SOMEONE would use it right? And then eventually people dust it off and oh crap that synergy or interaction with the meta or that buff made it too good, so let's scale it back. So yeah Lum got nerfed but it also got a few buffs piled on it BEFORE those nerfs, and the buffs wwer more drastic than these nerfs.

Sunder
Hey everyone, I've been working on a system I call Sunder since I started. It began as something just for me, but I quickly started sharing it with other templars, and then when we realized how darn powerful the functionality to track and call afflictions in a uniform manner was, suddenly I was adding other classes and now it's grown into something that works pretty much across the board.
I've been happily sharing Sunder with anyone who asks for a while now, regardless of class/faction, but I've been getting a lot more people asking about it or needing help recently, so I wanted to put it out here publicly for anyone and in a place where I can more readily respond to frequent questions and stuff instead of having to repeat instructions and what have you to each individual.
So! Here's a public link to a dropbox folder. There's a sunder.trigger in there, along with several .txt files with the important information like how to install and set up Sunder, how to update, and so on. I'll try to remember to post here when I update! The folder link will remain static, so when I do push an update you'll just go to the same one and download the new sunder.trigger inside it.
Let me know if there's any questions, or if something's broken or unclear! My biggest goal with Sunder is to make it as newbie-friendly as possible, to help lower the entry barrier on PvP and get more people out there playing with us! If there's something in the way of that, or something I could change to do it better, I definitely want to know.

Re: So, Questing.
There's currently a scroll in Eno with around 75 quests, some with less instructions, some with very specific ones. But perhaps I'm the only one thinking this takes the fun out of things.
Re: Forum Rules
If I may ask, as I have seen several posts from you that are very negative in a variety of threads.I consider it a reward for people who engage as a community. We try to keep a sane forums, and it acts as a place to discuss the game. I don't really have the time to do a townhall with every wild idea.Well Boss, I doubt the people who engage in the forums and voice their opinions are a good representation of the whole of the game community. There is a number of people who are just aversive to this "community" due to its toxic nature.
Why do you strive so hard to remain part of a community that you so much dislike, and try to attack every possible chance you have.
That seems very counterproductive and may very well be the reason you have such hard feelings towards a large group of people.
You dont participate in any guilds, cities or activities save for Market posts that I have seen.
Im not trying to put any words in anyones mouth, its merely what I see as an outsider who has no knowledge of you aside from what you present, and that is not putting you in a favorable light, and absolutely confuses me on why you continue somewhere if it is so toxic to you. I am happy to engage with someone and find myself to be a very accepting player and character, but your general demeanor makes me want to avoid you like a leper colony.

Re: PvE Rebalancing
My first reaction to the post was "congratulations, I will now never bash on Mykellah ever again" Before it was miserable, now literally anything I could do with my time is going to be more productive.
I really don't understand why the reaction to "PVE is unfun and a waste of time" was basically to make it even more unfun for most people.
I mean, yeah, I'll admit that is a fairly off-the-cuff gut reaction, but I already struggle to make myself want to bash on Miki and now she's even more of a pain to bash on, so I probably will just play STO or something instead ifn I'm being honest.

Re: "Econo-me? You Hardly Know Me!"
@Zaila The problem is that, for newbies, 500 really isn't reasonable. The thing were not taking into account with all these endgame people is stuff like food. 500 is fine when you have a stockpile of gold. Someone like me is fine with 500 because I've got some gold in the bank if I need stuff. But newbies don't have that, and they are, arguably, the ones who need gold the most!

Re: "Econo-me? You Hardly Know Me!"
Above post is the very core of topic. But let us play the numbers game.
The problem with numbers is that they can be presented in such a way that one can either present a non-existent problem or mask an existing problem. Let us run numbers:
I can craft loads of pills: So my cost for pills is 0 in gold.
I do not need bashing buffs: So my cost in bashing chocolates is 0 in gold.
I need only health/mana refills along a lesser amount of other refills: So let us say per refill from 5 gold. I spent 1000/5 = 200 refills and 1k gold.
I bashed for 4 hours. Gained 25% experience and 1 Haven point.
HAVENS BUY POINTS
- It costs 200k gold per point for the first five points, then 400k
per point for the next five, then 600k for the next five and so on.
There you go. PvE is very rewarding by numbers game. Whether I can use those points or not is irrelevant because the number giving players have deliberately inflated the costs of PvEing and they have detached its relation to quests. Surely you will not get anything by bashing on mobs incessantly, but it is more then possible to gain both XP and gold by catching a mix of activities.
So in that sense, I find your numbers highly dishonest in presentation.

Re: Mage Revamp Lies. LIES.
Oh for the sake of God @Tekias do you just like to read everything I write in a very negative way in your mind's eye? Which side of the above post is Abuse?
I am saying it might be better to roll Ascendril first rather then making it wait on behalf of Sciomancer, albeit in a convoluted and joking way.
And it is no mystery that guilds like to have their own events which will change their skills and stuff. After all they will not get new skillsets by divining on bones and weird shapes on crop fields.

Re: Aetolian Economics
@Istela 17 pills, 1 ash = 200, 10 ash = 2000. 170 ash at best to fill an entire cache with 2000 of every pill.
I have that math because making each pill without ash = 5 pills. 1 Ash multiplies that number by 40. End result is 200 pills.
