I think it was that they cost power even for 1-liners before? That's a pretty important upgrade.

No... there was no power cost for one liners. The only thing that changed was that improved illusions now show to everyone and to make it so you don't see it, you spend extra willpower.

Damn, wrong guess.

Before, you had to code your system to ignore your own illusions, now you don't.

Improved illusions showing to the caster was a bug. This looks like a bugfix, plus the ability to toggle displaying to the mage on/off. The chance to see your own illusion will help for testing/rp.


That sounds pretty nice then. Especially being able to test the illusion, then turn it off so it doesn't screw with your system (instead of having to code it to ignore your illusions)

Thanks for the info.

Since I've been on Lusternia, improved illusions haven't shown for the caster.
Genos2008-02-06 03:39:18
In the beginning you would see the illusions when they showed up. Then they changed it so the caster doesn't see the improved illusion. Now you have a choice to see it or not.

some people use it for when hidden people entered a room.

Others use it for offense.

Now you can choose.

That's a programmed illusion, not an improved illusion.

OH, right. I knew that. Improved illusions. Never really use those.

Kind of pointless since you can't use them off channel balance like you can normal illusions

Yep - I never use them either. Only time I ever have in the past was for long Heretic messages, so I can scare you Mags into ghosting. evil.gif

This is a two handed attack using your chain to strike at the victim,
causing it to gash deep into the part of the body struck. Such an attack
causes instant death to anyone with at least three ruptures.

Psh. So underpowered.

Nice misinformation.

In an effort to balance sapling with terrain:

Make saplings chop-able from the trees.

And give mages a guild ability to destroy saplings.

Because this...

With a simple gesture, you dispel the illusory terrain here.
An illusion of a flesh environment melts away.

and this..

You squint your eyes to and study each part of the environment here.
An illusion of a flesh environment melts away.

aren't on par with sapling IMO.

Sapling nerf v3.0 is already on this month's report. One of these days it'll actually work.
