All you Astrologists missed out. To bad.

For those of you who don't understand, here's an excerpt from an AB file.

Syntax: ASTROCAST STELLIUM AT
Power: 2 (Any)
This powerful attack should only be used when there are multiple planets
within the same sign. This will release the energy of all the planets,
no matter whether they are retrograde or not. Astrologers are at their
peak power when several planets are clustered within the same sign. Of
course, the time when astrologers are most feared is during a syzygy
(sometimes called the harmonic convergence) when all planets are
conjunct within the same sign. Regretably for astrologers, this only
happens approximately once very 250 years
.

Seriously though, that's so crap.

Has it happened before? Wouldn't this be the first time considering how long Astrology has been out?

So it happens once every 312 real life days or so... I can't see how it has happened before if that is what you are implying, Kashim.


Edit: Goddamn, my bad, that's 3125 days not 312 days... that's a long time!

Hasn't happened before to the best of my knowledge.

Trans hexist still trumps that group of affs sad.gif
Ixion2006-06-16 12:21:11
Those afflictions all at once hurts pretty bad.

Tuek was doing it on me, took a few seconds to cure. With fae and him webbing or otherwise it would have been dang nasty.

Ah, my bad for not reading the whole thing but the bolded part.

So how long does it last?

In variety, yes, but those are pretty painful afflictions in and of themselves. It's also very spammable due to the power cost, unlike allhex, and has a far faster equilibrium.

Ixion is rather unlucky with that set, since his nativity allows you to also give Asthma and Anorexia... so that's a huge ouch. Aeon+Stupidity at once and able to follow up with asthma and anorexia is pretty nasty, I wish I had time to duel him with a full set of fae as a Mugwump and drawdown (alas, by the time I can change races or drawdown, it'll be over).

But every 250 years? It should be even more powerful being that rare, and Astrology being pretty damn weak any other time.

Edit: Just realized... 250 IC years = 3125 real life days
That's censor.gif crazy. It should instant kill you if it's that rare.

Try 2 hours before the Moon switches sign. Of course, you only lose one aff then, and then it's a small while before the next rotates, but after that it basically all falls out of order again.

But 3125 days man! 3125 censor.gif days! That just blows my mind... why even code something that could very likely NEVER happen again in all of Lusternia's existance. Will Lusternia still be here 8 and a half years from now?

They need to buff it to make a Stellium Syzygy completely uncureable till death like the Occultist ability in Achaea (forget the name). Yea... and then they need to roll back the realms so I can have God mode for a day. laugh.gif

Hilarious, let's test it again in 2015.
Shiri2006-06-16 12:38:26
And next time it's likely to be...

~400 cutting damage
Dizziness
Peace,
Amnesia
Asthma
Anorexia.

I find this so incredibly hilarious though how long it'll be before it happens.

3125 days! Let's like... make a countdown or something!


And that affliction set... isn't even that scary considering it'll be 3125 days (I just love saying that) till it can happen again.

And now since it'll pass soon, they'll probably buff it to do exactly as I said earlier... knowing it'll never actually happen just to spite me. biggrin.gif

"Hey yea, if you are still playing almost 9 years from now, we'll give you God mode for a day!"
Shiri2006-06-16 12:48:04
Countdown, that's awesome.

(And Diamante's complaining it's OP, so Tuek: put it in a time capsule so the envoy in 2014 can pick it up and report it!)

That's pretty damn funny someone is complaining, considering how weak astrology is most of the time. rolleyes.gif

I agree, let's make it one day a week! Hooray for quoting out of context.





Not that powerful though, Ixion said to me in his opinion Psionic mages can give out afflictions just as fast for no power.
