Jirato has been gaslighting this community about the cost of upkeep for years. And in most cases the playerbase has vastly overcompensated through donations/Patreon.

Re: The Importance of Good Communication

In the interest in noting like for like, posts like Eliza's are immature, inappropriate, and unhelpful. Knowing that the GMs get that sort of thing in public makes me realize that those sorts of comments are likely more numerous in private e-mails or in second hand hearsay. I'm not a gm, so I can't...

Be more afraid of what they don't see. Security is an issue.

Re: Thoughts on melee from a game design POV

Re: Skill gain in offensive tactics

I'm confused as to why this implementation is taking place, taking it from 100 to 0 feels unnecessarily drastic. We feel this makes total sense, as offensie tactics isn't about actively trying to avoid getitng hit, it's about putting your all into landing a hit, at the sacrifice of defense. No, but ...

Re: Generalized Abilities Concerns

I'm 100% for these things being supported by guild RP to make them feel more real, and think that failing to make things feel supported and known is not a good thing. What I don't agree with is the sentiment that guild members shouldn't be held to something just because guild NPCs aren't constantly...

Re: Generalized Abilities Concerns

I think that sums up my point. I got a line when I joined the organization over three years ago and no other guild-directed RP to back it up? If suddenly I did leave and someone hassled me about it, that's not a very enjoyable game experience. I'm not excusing consequences, but don't put them on cha...

Bryce's monster post The problem I see with that assessment and this is a problem that I've experienced with certain elements of Clok (Corvus for example) is that there is not enough of IC RP from NPCs or leaders to justify these intense black/white world views. This is something that has also exte...

Re: One-time only ability reset

Oof! Good to know about the herbalism delays, I've been holding off on taking abilities because of wanting to explore that path.

But I feel good about the one-time reset and the openness to exploring other options if there is a complete overhaul.

Re: One-time only ability reset

This sounds fine to me with my only two concerns being: Will this take affect after all the general abilities are released? The previous post makes it sounds like this will take place after and at most, it general abilities will be tweaked/rebalanced not adding a whole new set. Ever is a long time. ...
