Don't know what the text says, but love the image!

I would be very interested in how that would work, as the impact of those adjustments would have to be pretty big to shift Blademasters back to a range where they'd be a valid option. The math behind it all is pretty much stacked against that. However, I will wait things out till the dust has settl...

The Blademasters topic is a bit of a derail, and it is probably worthy of its own thread. But a few points... I am less in favour of players maintaining their 10 links if they leave. Guild loyalty should be rewarded over guild-hopping. So I think the solution may need to be something else than a per...

Something to consider that is not specific for Calians: it is a lot of work to get to 10-link Blademasters. If one were to break ones chain, it basicly means you will never regain it to that level. I believe the ogres have a mechanism where you continue where you left if you rejoin them. I'd argue ...

if that's the case (100 CAID in total for occ guild)... That's the core model. You can go over that 100 caid with equivalent negatives to balance it to 100 caid. For example, the Doomseekers branch of the Neidar can't wear most armours.. so have a big negative caid as they can't mitigate damage. Un...

So for some time yet, we won't be seeing the final result?
Since it takes time to fix it all..?

Thank you for the explanation.

It does sound like you probably won't. Thank you for your contribution to my note. I am sure everyone will find it very enlightening. To be fair, you probably won't. Not because you are incapable of understanding, but because for you to understand we'd have to give you too much game mechanic detail...

"Just a matter of how effective they are". Yes, essentially. But it is also essentially a recode of the magic system. Now I am not 100% across everything Carnak is rolling out this weekend, but overall the changes to the magic system are going to involve: * changes in how spell success is calculated...

Layman casters are in a good spot in my opinion. Especially guilds like Warlocks and Elemental Worshippers as they provide you with good defensive tools. Minstrels should also be fine, they do lack the defensive options of aforementioned guilds but they are also extremely low in maintenance (no nee...
