Nor does it steal a large chunk of your health.
Jack2005-12-06 18:03:11
Just so.

A large chunk of your health, whats more, which increases the higher your current health is, making it entirely useless for high-level knights.

Not ENTIRELY useless. It's only got a point if there are 3-4 very high level critters beating on you, though.

As much as Putrefaction may be "insanity", it is not part of the initial discussion.

On topic!


I must say, Hajamin, excellent work on the new affliction. biggrin.gif

I won't go into the effects. I'll let you all seperately figure it out. wink.gif It'll certainly make high-level-sociopaths have hard trouble hunting.

The insanity levels should be named like this:

Completely sane
Slightly neurotic
Neurotic
Highly neurotic
Sociopathic
Completely sane

No, seriously, everytime you see something, everyone in the room gets spammed. Just think about how annoying this is. The external messages need to be tuned down, I can't see a thing or do a thing, and you're at Mother, so there's not much I can do.

needs to be removed. Or I can just gag it, but novices can't - I feel bad for any that try to learn from Miakoda right now x_x
Acrune2005-12-06 23:16:09
I had a thought. Astral is best suited to warriors, with the damage and all. Guardians have the cosmic plane to get saner a little faster. So I was thinking that for mages, intelegence could have a factor into determining the speed in which you get insane, because intelegence would be able to resist the astral energies or something. The current rate of insanity could be what it would be like at 12 int or so, with higher int meaning that it takes longer to get insane. That way the insanity would be less nuts for a lot of people, and mages have something to make up for their near total lack of ability to hunt there tongue.gif

Speak for yourself, Aquamancers have it easier than I do with passive healing and affliction curing (plus twirl staff). Plus as a mugwump (since about level 70 something) I have the same amount of health as an imperial merian and you get it better with forcefield. Hell with some psionics defs up I tank better than some warriors seem to.
Unknown2005-12-06 23:26:22
That's why IG I suggested somebody setup an Asylum.

I mean, c'mon, if you had a schizophrenic homeless man at the mall, eventually the cops might remove him. You moondancers should take the afflicted to Moondance Tower, lock them in a room and work on rituals to heal them.

Don't let poor Soll stand out there where he might get hurt!

I have ideas, but I can't really act on them right now--workday, too little time until Saturday.
