I'll miss Tiur, but welcome to the party, Ictinus! I look forward to whatever you may bring to our little game!

(Quote) I would say it means that the lore problem can't get fixed until the abuse problem is fixed. It would be unethical to hire a Lore Head who is not given a full understanding of the kind of abuse they might be subject to, and it would likely…

(Quote) I don't think "punishment" was an accurate word for him to use. However, I think the point is well made. Any suggestion of a paid Lore Head has to answer two very important questions: how does what happened with the Curse event not happen …

(Quote) This actually made me wonder: what HAS happened in the past year? Has it really been 90% promos? Let's check the news. Starting with events:
258 Anonymous Of blood, shadow, and Ayukazi: 10/…Man, is this the vitriol that floats around Shadow web late at night? I see now why people say it's a bad place to hang out... My eyes have been opened.I'm personally pretty content with how the story has been handled. There have been things popping up here and there for the past couple months, at a better pace than in the year prior. Maybe it's not the golden-days of having a Lore head, but it's s…Will there be something in the milestone shop?Cities should consider making inactivity a criteria for losing your shop. It really does not make a lot of sense to leave valuable, community-based resources in the hands of people who have just disengaged from the community. I imagine there are som…It's been a while, but I wanted to share another idea, based on some chatter I've heard in the past month: Deep Ylem Mines!
In the middle of non-Orrery seasons (i.e. 10th Arios and 10th Niuran), special secondary shafts open at all the ci…So, I've been learning to draw for "years". Read "years" as "putting in the bare minimum effort every once in a while such that I filled a single sketchbook over about 4 years and not making much progress". Over the past couple months, I have been a…
I wouldn't mind a moving CTF kind of thing for Orrery. A globe generates and it has to be taken to a 'flag' area and 'planted' like a CTF.This makes me think. What if Orrery had different, random modes, like Majors?…
Once it begins, it's a race against the opposing tether to complete your dungeon as fast as possible. Taking Terry as an example, you have to defeat a big eld as quickly as possible whilst also being organised enough to cover the …(Quote) I like a cap better than resets, but I think either requires more to be done with ylem, like huge, expensive city-wide buffs. Give the whole city all the orb effects (or one of the amulet effects?) "free" for a day, for example. Give the p…1 RL month long amulets (all colors available)
I actually really like the inclusion of amulets as a reward for participation. I'd say rewards should definitely move towards incentivizing individual participation, rather…(Quote) I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time defending my original idea, but I will address these two points. Fighting off the hill is entirely expected. Winning the hill is important, but a secure Greater is also important. Actually, I expe…Just to throw out a little something that could spice things up: your friendly neighborhood pylon engineers could start selling one-use ylem contraptions that will tap untapped lessers in novel ways. Rather than just tapping a boring old lesser, wou…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 s…I ping people on Discord if it's 30 min before a major or if a lesser just got tapped and I see they're online, not because I want to pad our numbers but because people enjoy PVP.
I would actually love if lesser t…(Quote) Certainly, Shadow has its share of complaints about not participating, and that's something I try to fight when it pops up, but what about this: "When we have a ton of people online who aren't otherwise available to fight, we don't say tha…(Quote) Well, you seem very sure of that answer. Good for you. I suppose I will keep on "inventing" a life outside lessers and supporting others who also choose not to engage with every team battle while they're online. As long as we're in the pet…Maybe it's just my obsession with precision, but I'd love some sort of "game time" field. Even just the server's UTC time would be nice, but I would prefer something that accounts for server-side lag, as well as transit lag. So, if I eat a curative …There have been -numerous- times in which i've done lessers, majors, and even orreries with just myself and @Valorie, or with in Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves Comment by Seurimas June 2021(Quote)To be fair, the HG artifacts were changed and seemed to be designed to hopefully fix the uneven numbers problem.

Do cryptic chests fused from pieces have a chance of dropping them during this promotion?New Items! Each promotion has some of these items in them.
