Re: In-Game Age restictions on free emote spaces

I looked into this earlier in the year, with this same concern. The solution the admin agrees to, and I implemented, was to limit entry for free emote rooms to only those with options intimate on. Options intimate is off by default for all new characters and this blocks much more than just free emot...

Minstrel soothe

Code: Select all

The Minstrel soothe was providing less heal than expected, when a maintained
song was also in effect.  I have updated the spell, and you should see 
improved heals while your other effect is also active.

Re: The problem with "half"

There are too many reasons not to undo this latest change, even with reduced experience tables. I think we may do an update so you can see more progress steps going forwards, so the enjoyment of progress is more visible again. So your solution is to change another system (how experience gained is d...

Re: The problem with "half"

Option one In the decades prior to the first equalization of white hits and special attacks (you know, that time when things hurt a lot, combat was fast, pvp was dangerous and the experience river flooded its banks regularly), special attacks REALLY mattered. Is there any way to return to a situati...

Re: The problem with "half"

Another problem is that combat is now somewhat boring. It used to be that you actually had to watch fights, now you can go take a nap, make some coffee and the rat your fighting on the docks is still alive and laughing at your damage output. I rather liked the changes to white hits that made everyt...

Re: Ponderings on Align

Would love wiz update on this, since I also noticed the change and a lot easier change from evil to good. Stuff like this, wizards, is something that should be advertised if changed. I am not aware of any global change to alignment. Lieges may tweak the alignment of individual NPCs but that’s not v...

Re: Update on the racial rebalance project

Dan is correct, that is what I mean. The casters would feel weaker with no 160s, in his example. The damage (both incoming and outgoing) and hit rates would both be lower than the melee. But... they can't get 160s now, not as many as they'd want, right? Right. So in Dan's theoretical example, melee...

Re: Update on the racial rebalance project

Qwer, what i believe Zizuph is trying to say: If you could stack your stats 160 160 160 10 10 120 vs a caster who needs all 6 stats who'd then need to go 120 120 120 120 120 120ish (super simplified) you make the game more imbalanced and helpful for the melee, hence the current caps make it less im...

Re: Update on the racial rebalance project

Casters need every single stat. Exactly, so they could put little bits in every stat instead of having to go through them all 2 by 2 Players can easily put in anything between 2 and 6 stats with the Thaumaturgist. For meditation, they can alternate between "mentals" and "physicals&qu...

Re: Update on the racial rebalance project

Except I can't. I tried and my mentals were a FULL level above what they were before, physicals being lower than before. If I only want to put all my effort into strength, then I can do that and achieve a very high strength. But then my mentals are also similarly buffed because there is only one st...
