Re: Hiding titles

The same argument can be made to allow for players to make up their own titles. Genesis is a descriptive game... guild titles are a feature of that. And it is a feature I like and strongly support. I am not going to support options allowing the turning off of guild titles except in the case of rogue...

Re: Dulling vs undulling weapons and more.

WIth the spawning of magical items, it is interesting how often i get contacted saying "improve the spawn rate of x... it never spawns!" The way magic item cloning used to work is that there was only ever allowed x number in the game per Armageddon. Once that number was reached that was it...

Re: Dulling vs undulling weapons and more.

I second that. Perhaps the sledgehammer should have worse stats in the hands of a non-ogre? Or be wieldable only by ogres. Is this not already the case? I feel I remember the change making them worse for non-ogres happening months ago. It is... you are resurrecting an almost-year-old post. ;)

Re: Patch week!

The only "melee" stat that isn't as important to a caster as it is to a fighter, is strength. A caster without dex and con is dead meat. So... in a name of fairness, how are fighters penalized for not having any mental stats? Do you see the completely insane setup that fighters need to re...

Re: Patch week!

Spell casting success now - for the first time - takes into account the targets stats (or stat) in comparison to the casters. Discipline is the caster dexterity now. A low disciplined caster is going to have a hell of a time successfully casting against a disciplined target. Generally try to avoid ...

Re: Patch week!

I think most players are overthinking the impact of racial modifiers for the more common caster races. And I wouldn't recommend dying down to focus on discipline without doing some testing. Also the argument that melee guilds only need to focus on three stats is in most cases not true. And the chang...

Re: Patch week!

Does this mean magic resistance will be as readily available as normal armours? No. It means magic resistance damage mitigation needs to scale in a similar fashion to armours. It doesn't do that currently. Might I suggest adding some resistance to all items? Some low roll upon spawn? Maybe based on...
