  • (Quote) Random ideas I salvaged from my orrery thoughts years ago:

    1. Convert X excess ylem gathered over cap to enhancement points that the Research or War minister allocates for city-wide buffs like a talent tree. The enhancement poin…
  • Pet peeve of the day: Wardens cannot customise ancestors but Carnifex can customise warhounds. :/
  • @Keroc - love that you turned around our feedback so quickly. This new contention type looks gnarly, dude.

    My one concern is that the changes here touch o…
  • If we went with my affix idea - or any idea to modify lessers or make new game modes - can we go with the above suggestion of 'small engagements inside the lesser'? Mechanics that FORCE us to split and fight at smaller team sizes (2v2 or 3v3) just s…
  • (Quote) Nothing set in stone, but things like:

    1. No more than 1 player per tether may be present in the same room
    2. All rooms are indoors/outdoors
    3. All rooms are closer to x plane for y effect
    4. Players share the hig…
  • I remember throwing around an idea a few years ago about how lessers should incorporate the concept of 'affixes' like weekly dungeons in WoW, map mods in PoE, etc. Basically, a way to breathe some life into the system without changing it on an exist…
  • (Quote) I might be inclined to agree in other discussions - though tbf I think there's a lot to be said for people using 'tether tribalism' as a catch-all excuse not to engage in discourse. At least in this case, though, the peeve is a blatan…
  • Quick bump because:

    1. New city
    2. Lot of changes (Warden release changed him!)
    3. Lot of new order RP and order members

    I guess I have art I can post soon too.
  • (Quote) nothing would make me invest faster than direct salvage, personally. I ended up buying credits on two characters last time. I regret not buying more. 

    I feel like you wanted to make this month fun and on theme. Consider tha…
  • Wish list for the refresh, even though I know is unlikely:

    1. Direct salvage.
    2. Direct salvage.
    3. Direct salvage.

  • (Quote) I still think this. I am always incredibly impressed with the way you characterize Aolin.

    As a representative, she makes a very good foil for Iesid in a way the others do not.

    This character has more layers than an on…

  • If you don't want people to read your THINK, don't use THINK. I don't think we need anything to address what ultimately feels like a non-issue.

    I deeply resent the notion of 'DEEPTHINK' or 'THINKSECRET' because it means everyone will just…

  • My only issue with this situation is people being threatened with consequences for shit that's done inside the constraints of aura.

    I get that everybody loves Didi and all. She's real friendly and cool. She and I just had a very brief (4 …
  • I feel as if it isn't productive to be adversarial in a conversation about how you aren't getting to explore the sensitive roleplay you want to, when the people who won't engage are telling you why they won't engage.

  • This thread is fascinating.

    Aetolia is not 'dropping RL politics into a fantasy game'. It's just that medieval policy is making a comeback IRL when it should stay firmly rooted in fantasy settings where it belongs. I think anyone who beli…
  • These updates are deeply appreciated. Very excited to hear that you guys have confidence in the process of adding more mirrors, considering you have pivoted to planning another pair so soon! June for coding is an admirable goal.

    Also love…
  • (Quote) This seems awesome and I know we have some slick tech for the prop items.
  • Easy fix: just don't allow control of org loyals until they've got some experience and temperance under their belt.

    Make them make their own characters for the storylines, that way we don't have any weird loose ends like six years down th…
  • (Quote) The failings were largely based in not vetting the candidates properly, which led to very self-serving interactions or interactions and stories that only served one's friend or perception of the narrative. There were also Docents that…
  • Imperian had this. It was called the Docent system.

    It worked well until it didn't and IRE stopped supporting it.

    All that aside, I think it is an amazing idea.
  • I think it's also going to yield different results based on the classes surrounding it. Warden is a complete mirror of Carnifex, but the environment around it is different - we have Sentinel, Templar, Zealot, Ascendril, easier access to Monk, etc.
  • We just need someone who is paid to maintain an independent pipeline of events and lore. That's it. That's their job, not just one of many hats they must wear for a bigger job.

    I feel as if everyone's points here are valid in their own wa…
  • Yo, arti auction when....?
  • In a similar vein: I am interested to hear considerations on Shaman adjustments - even just the thought process that led you to consider and voice the potential for it in the referenced post.
  • Throwing in my $0.02 worth of habanero grade hot take:

    I am part of the "tether rule is dumb" party. Let's be honest, the rule doesn't do anything except keep good candidates away from the Pools because they don't want to step outside the…
  • The data for it seems fairly close to this point anyways but I do think Sentinel belongs in S tier for teams.

    The only thing it doesn't do that well is tank and it still has vitality, chainmail, etc.

    It has tools to support eve…
  • Hey, did we ever tally everyone who guessed right in the Mirror guessing thread?
  • I just want any Archivist clone whatsoever, but would settle for Sciomancer or Indorani. Gimme some of these tasty caster classes.
  • (Quote) I don't think Sryaen was ever involved in that, aside as an audience because it started and ended in a shop he was RPing in.
  • (Quote) He got PKed for being generally insulting to a Divine order. When he posted an apology, we stopped.

    Don't act like you guys wouldn't do that too. You guys did that stuff to Slyphe's order for just about the same level of in…
