  • I think the point is that Jhura doesn't see a narrative interest in putting the same type of class together in the guild. Teradrim and Shaman are both area control kits. Pass on giving them to Duiran. Give the Teradrim mirror to Enorian.

  • I hope I'm wrong so that my friend gets a minipet and I get access to a cool class. My guesses, however, are more practical and based on modern concern from both tethers!

    Carnifex mirror in the Sentinels - that way, Spirit gets erode acce…
  • There were problems with this event, but it had a fascinating concept and the volunteers/admin involved in any part of it deserve credit. The actual gameplay you designed was real fun; there were just some issues with what I'd describe as your "insu…
  • (Quote) Even though that means that, at any time, any of your seats could be dead in the water if the guild's health flags?
  • (Quote) It was to quell drama, yes. I don't really think one organization should be a celani's Political Science project, but I also don't mind it so long as it accounts for the fact that our population has shifted a little. Having to send one rep…
  • Duiran gets on just fine with an extended version of this system. Be thankful you don't depend on your other guilds to produce viable Overlords as well. The outcome is never pretty; during my entire tenure as CL, I felt like I only ever had one othe…
  • To elaborate on a previous question of mine - re: PvP systems or activity generators: are you open to the idea of a PvP objective that occurs much more often than our current ones and maybe encourages smaller groups of players? The frequency could j…
  • I find that this is not precisely an easy format to make myself heard. There are things I want to say that are not questions, but you are asking us to pose questions to get your communication. Due to this, I'll write my post and put my Questions in …
  • A few thoughts:

    1. Announcing this project and then claiming it is a back burner kind of thing is probably not a great duo of decisions to make. This project is one that could stand to reduce tether tribalism because everyone will have th…
  • Losing Keroc as combat head is a tremendous blow. His attention was part of why I even came to Aetolia in the first place, as Imperian's combat changes have always been slow and counterintuitive. I wish we had been a better community, as someone els…
  • Dealing with a collective temper tantrum was not really my ideal way to come back to the game.
  • I think these changes are fine, but I'm looking at the big picture.

    Fast movement speed devalues:
    Travel skills
    Travel artifacts
    Setup time and clever ganking
    The actual power of getting a pick during a lesser

  • Well, time to post another hot take:

    I am against the notion that we shouldn't mix Peanut Butter (Shrines) and Chocolate (Orrery). We don't need stuff segregated into such bland lanes, we just need to act like adults. Just handle it IC an…

  • (Quote) While I believe you are right and that this will escalate to a distasteful level, I wish we all had the restraint to not really do that last one I put in bold.

    Kill 'em, sure - but try to find a way to get fun out of it for both…

  • Templar's still got plenty of stuff it can do. Pretty sure that Keroc is already learning a lot with the current data; I think we will end up seeing a Bladefire where you will have more decisions to make in terms of how and when/what energy level to…
  • Could just put them up on our own website and copy their appearance and etc over as new instances here! Not sure how immersion breaking a 'visitors from other (Iron) Realms' theme would be, but it is definitely for a good cause.
  • Pre-charging was silly. Being able to walk in and gib someone w/ big dps prepped was prolly not fun for anyone except the Templar themselves.

    The intent of this change is to provide the smoothest transition to a fair model. Keroc did admi…
  • I wanted to interject here:

    Duiran is not one dimensional. Nature is amoral; survival of the fittest, etc do not necessarily care for notions of good or evil. I knew this would be a contentious thing to allow, but I expected people to kee…
  • There will always be new players.
  • So, hear me out.

    Give spirit!Archivist to the Shamans, a la the Illuminai Zealot/Luminary double up. Here's how you spin it:

    The Bioessence clone would be some kind of insect and ecosystem-oriented magic. The mutagens wo…
  • (Quote) It is, but the sad truth is that most people need guard rails for their PK systems - either based on their own behavior or the behavior of others.

    The only systems that provide guard rails need some revisions.
  • Holy War is a terrible system, so I'm sad to see that Iosyne's Order took this route. No offense if the Creator of the system is still present on the staff, but it is fairly antiquated as far as conflict mechanisms go. It favors time and shrine dens…
  • (Quote) I don't think we would have minded; nothing is even official there. People's reaction is pretty lukewarm to it overall. There's less enthusiasm for or against it than I originally planned for.

    On another note: has anyone seen th…
  • This is a love thread. However much I love watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade of forum brigades and unrelated personalities crawling out of the woodwork (including people who don't even play!), take it elsewhere.
  • I love the Chaos Plane.

  • I love the entirety of Duiran. Eireachdus this time around drives home how far we have come in a year and change. The council is very vibrant, has so many different mindsets that make for many amazing opportunities for RP, and I feel like we are fal…

  • Neat.

    On the topic of marriage in general... can we get an AGREE line for a basic, one-on-one unity? Noticing they've been secretly married is not the way that your character wants to find out they're hitched..
  • I really hate struggling with depression, especially during my first winter back in my home state. Combined with my new work schedule, I have been taking desk naps (aka losing time to putting my head down next to my keyboard) on my days off and that…
  • Weird aside for feedback: during months like this, perhaps we could cycle in some temporary purchase options?

    Example: offer token of passage for credits til end of Feb - this way players can get that, if they want, and not feel screwed b…
  • I love everything going on with Hioma. What an absolutely fascinating storyline thus far.

    My character has done things I did not think he would ever do. I have been challenged in so many interesting ways this weekend. It has been a true p…
