Erm..is the faster recovery guild based or skill based? Seems kinda odd cause Im Wiccan but I have no Guild. And I know Im probably not going to be the only one, so any suggestions or should I just stay Prime? (Yes, I know Im Seren but that doesnt help)

Wow, the gold and experience was also boosted massively.

More risk for more reward! spoton.gif

I would love to see specialized effects as well, instead of stupidity.

As horrific images invade your mind your plunge your fingers through your eyesockets, desperate to fend off the vile illusions.

Mmm, blindness. Would have to make the effects rarer if they became more dangerous, though.

Wiccans/Druids have affinit with Prime and Elemental

Mages have affinity with Ethereal and Cosmic

Guardians have affnity with Astral and Elemental.
I do find it curious however that having Highmagic doesn't affect this at all since it is suppose to be dealing with the building blocks of creation.  If you have highmagic that should be a minor defense.  (No, I don't have highmagic)

What do wiccans have to do with elemental?

What do mages have to do with cosmic?

What do guardians have to do with elemental?

As far as I know.. Aquas are attuned to water.. obviously, and geos to earth. Guardians have Nil/Celestia. What that has to do with Astral beats me but since cosmic links to Astral there must be -some- connection.

I love the changes. Astral will finally be a place to be feared, as it should be. The only thing I thought was slightly disappointing was that neurosis is essentially stupidity. I'd have liked to seen it done with different effects (different commands, strange dream-like visions, etc.) than stupidity, to make it more original and distinct. Seeing all the people at the Megalith oinking and yelling about so-and-so being cute don't strike me as that neurotic, just plain idiotic.

In all though, awesome change.  wub.gif

We've already said repeatedly, you haven't seen half of the effects yet. You are at the low level stages.

Astral mobs are now crazy strong. Time for me to say goodbye to solo astral bashing. StarsOuch.gif
Shamarah2005-12-04 22:52:03
Where did the gold go? sad.gif

I would also agree with Nokraenom in that the neurotic astral could have been more original than just stupidity.

Well there is apparently more. Just stick around longer on Astral to find out. It's been said several times now that the stupidity thing is only the beginning.

Good to know I can stop lusting after a cubix and just buy a prism, and not bother getting Nexus now. I'll just stick with Gorgogs and slowly get 80 or so before I even think about Astral again. -sigh-

I agree that Wiccans should not get faster recovery on Ethereal. We have no link to the Astral plane and actually tried to stop it every being discovered and used.
Unknown2005-12-04 23:04:22
I'm surprised everyone loves that. I hate it right now, I'm sitting for an hour already (on Nil as a guardian) and I'm still highly neurotic, and that's only because I wanted to participate in wildnodes.

Also, it's not appealing to see everyone behaving like a retard, fondling and censor.gif .

As a general note..

.. I seem to remember people saying Astral was waaaaaaaaaaaaay to easy.

.. I seem to remember people saying it should be more difficult.

.. I seem to remember people asking the Admin to change it.

.. I seem to remember people saying Astral created too much gold.




.. And now I see people getting their way and bitching about it. Don't wish for what you don't want, you might just get it. smile.gif


And I still wub.gif the changes. Great work!
Diamondais2005-12-04 23:06:27
Seems Wiccans are getting faster recovery on Ethereal, or at least me and Derian were. Dunno if its actually true or things are just weird.
Kaervas2005-12-04 23:08:43
I like the whole idea of it. My main problem is having to sit around doing nothing afterwards until the neurosis wears off. I've been waiting an hour now and I'm still at highly neurotic. I'm quite happy to have random afflictions while on Astral, just wish it wore off quicker off astral.

I never wished for that, so I can bitch I suppose. tongue.gif

Sparkleberries are suddenly going to be very rare. Unless someone runs up, dodges the stronger critters long enough to harvest one sphere, then runs away before much lasting damage occurs... used to take hours to troll all of the spheres. ohmy.gif
Unknown2005-12-04 23:11:27
yeah about sparkle.. anyone going to remove all that flood and taint? *hopes*

Same here, I retain full bitching rights.
Soll2005-12-04 23:14:59
Perhaps a faster wear down on the high neurotic levels, with the low levels of neurosis taking longer to wear off?

Ie:

Neurotic takes 30 minutes to wear away.
Highly neurotic takes 20 minutes to wear away.
Stage above that takes 15 minutes to wear away.
Stage above that(?) takes 10 minutes to wear away.

Etc.

Of course, this may change as the different effects hit at higher levels.
