Glomdoring isn't necessarily the best place for Faeling.. Rowena essentially RAPED a Fae.. this is sort of like a Viscanti with Elfen heritage and and an Elfen, except with Faeling.. the pure Faeling should pity the Shadowspawn, or, be incredibly racist towards them.

I proudly fall on the racist side. Yea, I feel you Ialie *comfort*
Be patient our time will come...

I think all REALLY are blowing this out of space here.. I know watching yourself be a weaker version of a race isn't fun but hey... its about RP right? Ialie? Your not even a warrior.. I mean like I said I RP'd an Elfen in Magnagora.. I was hated, I couldnt draw power, I had crap stats for a Warrior, but I did it and came out of it in the Legion and respected by quite a few.


I wished I could be an Elfen Lord but.. I hated Serenwilde when I tried it out, so that wasnt an option, but I loved Elfen, so I made it work for me. I see no reason why you can't do the same thing.. I hated my cousins of the forest, so you can feel free to hate your twisted foul cousins of Glomdoring. You just need to think outside the box.

Syrienne, are you seriously comparing a Faeling in Serenwilde to an Elfen in Magnagora? Do you realize that sort of thing is why we aren't impressed?

I'm just waiting for the day Loboshi become a supercanine race which, upon choosing the Necromancy specialization, gains the ability to Bloodlust at lvl 50 which gives +3 str, +1 dex, +2 con, -1 int, +2 size, -5 charisma during the full moon...

... with a useful howl, while we're at it. Gives fear, maybe?

I don't know why a lot of people are thinking their faelings are doomed...

First, with regard to the dark faelings, they are already something of a different race. They look quite different, and as a result, they will be common to see in Glomdoring, and the original faelings in Serenwilde, just like before... some people are complaining as if nothing good will come of this for you and nothing is going to be changed, when it's not even entirely released (nevermind fleshed out). In addition to that, the admins here work pretty hard and -constantly- listen to complaints and read the forums, etc and so on.

A -massive- amount of work was just shouldered around faelings, and given past trends, especially given the fact that this is completely new, this only will increase the likelihood of more work in the future on them.

As for basic faelings and whether or not they'll get upgrades, doesn't the ability to sling runes like madmen (per the recent change) count for something? Even if you don't think so, there's already the plausible upgrade for them for their dex which will seriously help counteract the low con, while it's also plausible that the dark faeling stuff might be toned down, leaving a pretty good balance and some respectable advantages to the regular faelings (which will help keep their popularity proportionate as well, ideally).

Also.. i think people need to realize that the Shadow faeling are no different than the Shadowbound Fae on Ethereal, if you were to "save" one, and bring it back to Mother Moon, they would cease being a Shadow Faeling.. so its not even in their blood, its more like a twisted form of branding.

Notice that when you take Fae to Mother Moon, they don't change description at all, but when you take a Fae to Night, they are bound in shadow.. just like these Faeling.. by all logic, Faeling don't "belong" in Glomdoring, Night is simply able to bind them, as their heritage in Ethereal, enslaving them and using them for her own purpose. If anything, the RP of Seren Faeling should be one of seeking to save them and bring them back to Mother Moon.

Honeycakes anyone? tongue.gif

I hope Trill become the specialization race of Gaudigach, so all the pro-Hallifax Trill have such a wonderful RP opportunity.
Laysus2005-04-23 09:00:08
I just looked at the specialisation, and I'd like to say: What the censor.gif?

You've messed up all the faeling players who are in the seren by just giving what we've been begging for for so long to the antithesis of the seren. I just looked at it and thought something along the lines of those stereotypical posts of looking at something and thinking "I quit."

I think if you're going to give faeling specialisations, give them to both communes. If you're going to give elfen specialisations, give them to both communes. Please don't make me lose all will to continue :/
Unknown2005-04-23 09:03:26
STOP BITCHING ABOUT THE GOD DAMN FAELING SPECIALIZATIONS JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GET ONE!

Oh my god, people. You do not deserve what everyone else has. That is not the way life works. Night binds Fae on Ethereal, so, she binds Faeling on prime. It makes PERFECT AND TOTAL sense. Deal with it. +1 con, +1 int, +1 size does NOT help Shadowcaster Faeling become suddenly balanced.
Ialie2005-04-23 09:04:04
Ialie doesn't really hate anyone. Being racist would go against everything she believes in ( was kidding about the clan I mentioned in the other thread)


I am not upset that I didn't get one really well maybe I am a little. Its just that we are the normal faelings the true faelings and we have just watched ourselves grow suckier, and no the slinging runes thing doesn't really make it because only a small percentage of faeling have runes while all the faelings in glomdoring will get some kind of specialization.
Unknown2005-04-23 09:09:35
You were...I am up to 30k....
And, you don't have to swear at us, most of us are not -griping-. I for one am not -griping-, I am just sitting back and waiting, as I have said thrice now...
Be patient, our time will come!
IF you want to know how much I am not -griping- see my thread on commenting on how much the Fae rock, which was done BEFORE the Poser-Fae came into being.
Unknown2005-04-23 09:10:44
And yet, you do realize, the Shadowcaster Faeling lost that big massive advantage they got from absinthe? -3 Charisma hurts in that sense.

Anyway, if you look at the RP behind the shadow faeling, it makes total sense. Night binds Fae in shadow, it makes sense that she would be able to bind Faeling who have a shared bloodline.
Soll2005-04-23 09:12:14
They're talking more about the Shadowlord faeling,(I think) Quantum
Unknown2005-04-23 09:13:50
Yea the Rp makes sense, but I still say they should not be called "Faeling" in honours. That's my only problem at this point, that I am activly passionate about.

That would make sense and all if Trill could be found in Gaudiguch in equal numbers as those in Hallifax. However, you're talking about communes. What's in a commune? Elven, Faelings, Furrikin and Tae`dae.

Elves are the leaders of Serenwilde.

It's been suggested by background materials that Ackleberry was Furrikin and Tae`dae heavy, so one or the other storywise, rp if it gets brought back eventually.

That leaves.. what.. the only race that isn't 'taken' as a prime race of a commune. It leaves the race everyone's been crying needs specializations or massive tweaks when there should only be 1 race specialization per city/commune.

So, guess what? Faelings get twisted in Glomdoring and are the primary race there.
Syrienne2005-04-23 09:14:36
Agree with Quantum here, seriously, Get OVER IT. You knew glomdoring was going to get something, all signs pointed RIGHT AT Faeling. PLEASE grow up and realise Glomdoring its race the same way you got yours, just because you dont want to be THAT race doesn't make it ok for you to whine about not getting it. No one in Mag cries that Viscanti are the race, no one in Celest is on here whining they didnt want Merians, so shut the <> up.


I seriously cant believe we're even having this argument.. if your entire RP structure is DESTROYED by the fact Faeling got a specialization than your entire RP structure friggin blows, Elryn you want to call an Elfen in Mag unimpressive? I DARE you to do a better job than I did, I dare you, seriously, try taking the FULL Exp hit everytime you die in battle, try not having Vitae, or Haymaker, or any of your nice abilities while people in your face most of the time, I BEG YOU to do that and say your life as a Faeling is so damn painful.
Unknown2005-04-23 09:16:07
If they are, it makes no sense, since they are all Wiccans or Druids, and a Shadowlord Faeling would blow as a Wiccan or Druid tongue.gif

Also, with as easy as knight afflictions are to cure currently, a speedknight just isn't all that hot yet, especially not without dex working correctly.

And still, based on RP, the Shado Faeling make total sense. I just hate them complaining that 'It makes no sense for Glomdoring to have flaeing! Give them to both communes!" No.. it makes no sense for Serenwilde to have specialized Faeling because MOther Moon in NO WAY enhances the Fae you give her on Ethereal. Night, on the other hand, binds them in shadow.
Unknown2005-04-23 09:17:24
Wow... calm down, it's just a discussion
Elryn2005-04-23 09:20:55
I just think it would be fitting now that Trill become the specialization race of Gaudigach. They can have an event whereby they have been enslaved in the taint wars and that is why they have become numerous there.

I'd love to see the reaction to that one.
