I just want to clarify something:
We play Lusternia, and we talk about Lusternia. Imperian is different and has no place here. tongue.gif

I just want to clarify that Marcalo said in a former thread that it wasn't a problem in other IRE games, which was false. It was a problem, and it was corrected. Lots of people still have wings there... and yet, they aren't more or less ensured the ability to either escape or raid at whim 100% of the time.

Not a single person on this thread has demonstrated that cubix use cannot be reasonably countered, nor even that a cubix allows more than minimal impact unless you already have your pants down around your ankles to begin with...and whose fault is that? Buck up and protect what you want to protect.

You always require proof or faultless argument, even from people who don't understand the concepts. Remember this isn't a science convention but a game forum, and almost everything discussed and argued is based on raw opinion.

You know, lusternia is what....one year out? And Imperian is how long out?
Now, how about you let the Admins some time, like....how long it took the Admins in Imperian to change it because they whined on the forums. Then, we can look at it again.
Ialie2005-08-27 21:33:16
I would accept a change in my cubix without a fuss. (Not the power thing though.. perhaps a time change) if they upgraded cameos to allow shapechange whenever I wanted or.. atleast every lusternian day.

personally from reading this whole topic, all this boils down to is, people saying ok i can't afford one of my own, so nerf it so they people who have them get mad and want refunds. just buy one, then you see a person you are fighting cubix off *gasp* you can chase them. Ohh they raided celestia ok, *touch cubix*raid nil* wow see instant satisfaction.

You've been IP banned from Lusternia. Your characters are all perma-shrubbed. Go. Away. No one wants you here! Even Guido was IP-banned from the forums, and all he did was make an idiot out of himself.

Just skidaddle, so we all can forget about you and go on with our lives happily.

I say, stop selling cubixes, and give everyone half the credits they put into their cubixes.

That is, 1,000 cr. Which is company policy. Why? Because Lusternia is a fluid game, and changes. tongue.gif Live with it1

Since that's not possible, I stand by my belief a minor eq/bal loss from touching the cubix is fair, as well as a minor eq/balance loss on exiting a fulcrux. I also believe they cannot be used indoors - I hope this is extended to Brumetower, as well, I hope it has a chance of failure in barred (I wish I could remember the name of the spell, it's been so long since I was a cosmic guardian/city knight..) rooms, such as normal exits would. If it doesn't, it should be.

This "I paid for it" crap is total garbage.

Artifacts were never supposed to be this unbalancing.

Yes, I could get a cubix myself, but what for?

Raider cubixes and goes to Nil.
I follow.
Raider gets to guards.

Um no.. If I get cheated out of 300 dollars I am going to be pissed. No Giving half back. No nerfing it at all.

Lisaera says, "It's an artifact... that's kind of the point."

Quit whining tongue.gif
Unknown2005-08-27 22:29:21
As has been said... $600 arifact. How about no.

I just think there should be a small delay between when you touch it and when it activates, to allow interruption.
Unknown2005-08-27 23:08:43
This is rediculous, really. That's like saying, because people most likely bought credits with OOC money to get Lichdom, it's not unbalanced. tongue.gif

Oh, yeah, forgot about that. I'll go back to banging rocks together, then.

Not using my thread? x_X

created this a week or so ago... I complained about the same thing.. and so did other people, that came with suggestions, and I'm not a moderator, but I think they are highly linked:



-> Changes to Celestia/Nil

Wish a moderator could move the thread or something...
Ialie2005-08-27 23:37:49
Kalo, Amaru... if my cubix gets nerfed, I will personally nerf the both of you. Yes that is right I will come to your house and pelt you with Nerf footballs, and other Nerf products until you submit.


Beware


I am warning you.

OMG OMG NOT THE FOOTBALL WITH A TAIL!

I'm going to go cry. Wait, was it Jairdan said? I'm going to get Nerflotsa on yer arse, bizzitch.
Narsrim2005-08-27 23:44:11
The thing I don't understand Ialie is that you don't fight. If your cubix took a couple seconds to work, what effect would it really have on you?

No, I don't think that's really fair.  They didn't spend 600 bucks on a more limited version of Tesseract.

I think using the cube and leaving the fulcrux should take a 2-3 second eq penalty, and be done with it.  This allows those whom want to give chase the actual opportunity to do so, and will discourage people from doing as they are.

I actually like this suggestion. It would easily allow others with a cubix to chase down the culprit and pin him or her down if she tries to leave limbo.
