Is there any chance with this change that we get a rollback on the 'no account can have both active Shadgardian and Corvite on their account' ruling? It's not like there will be any plotlines for them to be spying on/taking advantage of for the most part

I had a genuinely miserable experience today, thanks to the current implementation of this system.

Rather than wax on about it in detail, I think the logs provided below can speak for themselves.

This was awful. Against a mob with roughly half my die sides, I was completely unable to effectively ...

So, we had a LONG conversation yesterday on the BBS in regards to the current state of skill gain, what qualifies as exploity vs what qualifies as 'the expected game loop'.

I won't even pretend to have collected even half of the opinions presented there, though I welcome anyone to share their or ...

I've noticed this, but I thought it would be a problem inherent to Combat Analysis as a duelist issue. Good to know that it's happening to other archetypes as well.


I'm not sure how I feel about it, personally. On the one hand, these abilities are so strong because they activate as a matter of ...

We need to bring this back, come give detailed descriptions of all the faces we just got to see tonight! Make yourself memorable and visually distinct with more verbose text than the system allows!

I'd love to join, but it'll have to be friday!

Personally, I think that the only way to get no penalty at all should be no armor at all! After all, it is an option and should have some weight to it. I don't use armor myself, muahaha.

I suppose an argument could be made to have light armor zero out and no armor give bonus rerolls instead tho.

Its difficult to judge the current state of the game pre-abilities, since they will be so instrumental in determining skill progression. I think the general answer to this question when I asked to Rias in voice chat was "TBD", progression is more of a question for after everything actually works ...

Would the concept of elemental mixing imply that there are other personifications of mixed elemental heritage, possibly "immortal" but potentially more of a minor supernatural being, for things like steam, acid, lava, etc?

I should come to make EVIL sandcastles!

This is fantastic to hear. Do you want players to drop in on this post with ideas for where this energy can go? Start trying to put things together IC with other pcs? Email/DM you directly their plots, or just start going with things and get you on the page (if even neccessary) later?

Something every player eventually begins to take a look at, usually around the time surviving becomes a matter of course and not a constant struggle, is that of character defining goals.

These are dreams, aspirations, things you'll spend hundreds of hours of roleplay plotting and maneuvering ...

I'm all for guilds having more goals, lore, and objectives. I personally don't see anything wrong with joining one because you think the mechanics look fun, either, so long as you're also roleplaying within the guild's themes; it is a game, after all. But I think the quizzes will go a long way ...

Okay so, what can we do now to increase perception? That's the one I'm most concerned about, but the only ways I knew to train it at all which took a while as it is, no longer work. That one's a pain and pretty important.

Thanks for the stealth update. I'm less worried about that one on this char ...

I was considering having multi-strikes work like spells that can land multiple hits, and make only the initial attack have the Offense vs Defense rolls (and thus skillgain). If the initial strike misses, the attack is done. If it hits, there are chances for additional strikes but they are more ...

Your still not addressing the issue of early skill levels when multiple strikes are uncommon.


FYI, as a new character, this is largely untrue. There has been very few instances where I haven't gotten a 3-strike dagger attack. I don't always land those three strikes, but the potential is ...

It'd be interesting to see greater skill gains for larger, non-multi strike weapons, sure.

A couple things, though. A greatsword is -9 energy. A three-strike dagger attack, one handed, is also -9 energy, for about half the maximum damage of a greatsword. Assuming dual-wielding daggers maintains ...

Weapon skill training has always been a complex affair, with certain classes of weapons and certain weapons within those classes having notable advantages with progression speed.

Considering Multi-attacks are being considered to be reimplemented currently, I believe now is a fantastic time to make ...

First, Lets start with the remaining abilities of the Mercenaries upon their last Incarnation:

Adrenaline Rush (Wiki: https://clok.contrarium.net/wiki/index.php/Adrenaline_Rush)
Feedback:
"Can we get the energy return upon knocking someone down to apply when you already have the buff? As it ...

Psh, armor is for losers. Its not like Taric got all those death achievements because he was armorless, its obv because he didn't parry hard enough.

+1 for letting Mercs have a chance to buy the ring. Taric had one when he was still a merc, but he maaaay have stolen it off a body and just played it off as having received it legitimately somewhere. No one ever questioned him on it.

Hello hello Zaroth, I see you've been asking magic questions in other threads as well. Most of your examination is probably as close to correct as we on the player side will see, but I'll throw in what I know about Nether (which is what you were mistakenly calling "nethram").

Nether is a substance ...

Great amv. Seeing a back scabbard for a sword of that size now that I've seen how that would actually (not) work hurts though. Hurts a lot.

I enjoyed terraria. Bit lackluster to build things in however, heh. It's a fun idea though and about as close as you could get in the medium.

Haven't thought deeply through it, but I've been heavily considering making a character that has dozens of versions of himself that constantly distract and talk to each other as the character moves about his daily life. Occasionally playing chess with each other, occasionally forming music groups ...
