Re: NPCs are tools for the evil factions

NPCs are a drop in the slice bucket. Overall they benefit good much more so, because good was previously the shortest on hunting targets. Evil alchemy has the virtue of not being a damned pain in the arse, which I can't say about good and neutral alchemy. Don't make it also painful, make none of it ...

Re: Badges, ranks, The Grind: A discussion

I don't think cutting past breath veterancy completely would be great. A system that drops people's current rank mid breath without properly overhauling the system away from grinds would be a rocky change IMO. really think a compromise which rewards current breath AND previous breath achievements eq...

Re: Badges, ranks, The Grind: A discussion

I don't really mind keeping some aspect of the current system, or putting something entirely new in place. However, I continue to think that the current system is excessively beneficial to older players, and would like to see it flattened significantly. I think the following are worth considering if...

Character killed while invisible doesn't appear in other people's log

Using overlord senses I attacked and killed an invisible character. Nobody else on the tile saw a death message.

Not sure if that's deliberate (since the character was invisible), but it seems odd that nobody noticed me making a nasty burned up corpse out of nowhere?

Re: T2 spell rebalancing

The only capstone where I would brook the argument is the aligned ones, where it would be an actual buff. Fire is meh now that barricades are gone, death only needs a single T3 autohit and it's fully applied, so -2 damage is a straight nerf. Everything else is balanced enough. But really if you're n...

Faction SH status tracker not working properly

The SH status doesn't seem to be working to spec. It would be nice to have a better way of gauging whether a faction has been raided recently that was actually reliable.

Re: T2 spell rebalancing

Strong agree that at least T2 ranged spell buff+cost should be reverted. I feel like the T2 dart cost should be reverted too (and associated buff if any). Since the T3 auto-hit cost was unchanged the use case for T2 auto-hit became a lot less compelling. Capstone on T2 touch might be a little crazy...

Re: Breath badges also count for ranks

Most of those sound like pros not cons to me. I'd leave the current total rank cap, so a fully ground character would never need to bother grinding in a new breath. I definitely wouldn't want to see in-breath grinding become required for players with all the other grind that would be awful. Basicall...

Re: `So you're saying we should buff IB`

I don't think new players should be protected from getting killed. I think it goes against the spirit of the game. I think they should be rewarded for dying more explicitly.
