I don't like how "Tiur bad, Ictinus good" is the tagline here. I mean, things are great and Ictinus is doing great, and much better than Tiur. But also, it's possible for him to make mistakes and set bad precedence.T…(Quote) This isn't even just a Teradrim thing. There's still an approved-but-unimplemented classlead out there for doing something with Syssin Signs, IIRC.
It feels like the original iteration of Sanctions as class bonuses is pretty muc…Why do things have to be this way? Can someone truly justify the idea that any form of bullying/griefing in an Out Of Character context is not okay but then play a character who partakes in bullying/griefing in an In Character con…(Quote)Gutram's blood is on your hands, but also on the hands of me doing "ORDER GNOME REST" instead of "ORDER GUTRAM REST" and not realizing he was still following me back to the damp 😭I'm gonna stick …You could always start a revolution about it. Miner's Rights!(Quote) Caravans leave at the end of the season (despite what the help scroll says; I would have submit a HELPEDIT, but I wasn't sure what the actual behavior was). Winter(?) ends today, so caravans will be loaded up and depart 24-96 hours from th…(Quote) I like this line of thinking. I'd actually prefer ifspyingphase (I conflate the two, and this thread does a little too) had different failure modes. Right now, you usually just get pulled from phase, then stand there awkwardly…(Quote) By the same token, if your brain pamphlet got scribbled all over by an artifact crayon, the API shouldn't let you read it and it shouldn't give you a bigger, better brain pamphlet (while telling you not to peek at what should obviously be …(Quote) If you don't want to be known as a member of Enorian's militia, you can quit the militia. The academy gives some irrevocable information, but people side hop/city hop often as well, so it's not even all that telling. Although, maybe we sho…(Quote) "Unfounded". Basically any IG use of it is metagaming. Your character shouldn't instinctively know whether someone is friend or foe. The ease and widespread use of it made it very easy to forget that.(Quote)
I'd say there's still more to being Syssin, but espionage is just a lot of fun (in theory, and, often, in practice). It's just very two-note. It's basically just phase-spying or... convincing people to talk. Which, not to knock…(Quote) Right, so I will once again offer that my focus on phase is a personal pet peeve about the balance and fun of phase counters. Lenoriel had more thoughts on espionage in general. I will also readily admit that my musings on phase counters c…(Quote) The point is not how hard or easy the bracers are to get. The point is that, once you have the bracers, you can just enemy anyone, willy-nilly. Once I am enemied, there is no counter play. If we are caught, we might not even know that we …(Quote) I'll have to dig through my logs and try to guess what was happening, then. What I do remember was walking in Scidve in phase and getting sneezes in time with each movement of mine. There is also no shortage of instances where I get eye-si…(Quote) I did not mean to distract from your other, very good more RP-focused suggestions by focusing on phase. However, the balance of phase has been a sore point for a while for me and many Syssin. I love phase, but it's such a disappointing exp…(Quote) Angel Trace? I seem to recall it being used during Orrery once, while I was trying to hassle you guys.Yeah, phasesense has a message when you get sensed. I have gotten phasesensed less than 5 times in my entire career. I can't say I understand how and why the things Lenoriel describe happen with such regularity and frequency, but that's generally ho…(Quote) If you're a Syssin of any note, someone has you enemied. If that someone has you enemied and is in a city, they are immediately alerted when you enter the area. Even if they are a novice with a bracer, they can just ask in web/clan/city te…(Quote) Phase needs buffing for many reasons. More importantly, bracers need nerfing. Maybe make anti-phase bracer detection a togglable defense with a mana/willpower/whatever drain to keep it viable for combat situations.(Quote) I think anti-phase actions need rebalancing across the board. Some sort of channel/windup, a limit on how many targets can be pulled from phase per-action, and/or a chance of failure per-phased-person should be standard. Right now, all ant…Yeah, it's too ripe for abuse. I just don't like using Esteem for non-RP things, even if no guff is given.Player blessings, via EXALT! Much like Esteem, you can EXALT one person a day. However, it takes 3 exaltations to receive one real day of blessing. This blessing would stack with other blessings as normal, including divine blessings and milestone b…(Quote) I like this a lot. It gets around issues of guild switching (I'd say so, at least, since they're not shown as real members), gives novices the visibility they need to get helped by their guild (I know I don't check CWHO even half as often …Thanks for the answer on venom classes. I disagree with the conclusion in regards to Sciomancer viability, but I can see where you're coming from. Focusability does not totally sink a weariness-heavy venom offense, because it can be supported by oth…(Quote) This first part distresses me. You do acknowledge that nerfs might be necessary, but seem to decide the evidence of malice or malintent in this case is that the nerfs weren't part of classleads (at least, I assume that's what you mean by "…(Quote) This does look pretty darn spiffy. If you can add an easy way to add corrections and calculate points, you could throw my logger away :P(Quote) To be clear, I am suggesting that attackers have access to all of these manipulations as well. Additionally, big buffs would affect everyone in the room, and people who enter the room later. These shouldn't be a tool for entrenching, per se…I'm gonna necro this thread (at least) one more time with another idea: Foci manipulations!
We've been MANIPULATEing PYLON for all these years, and didn't even realize we could MANIPULATE FOCI as well! Doing so will allow you to evoke var…Add Lesser taps to the game feed, like you see on the official discord. The official discord should also get an @Lesser role (or similar broader role for all foci) y…
