Generally Xavius flames Krin. It seems to be a "Krin is an idiot...unless he agrees with me" situation.

Every man is occasionally blessed by luck.

I'd like to note that only druids can meld over saplings... so druid vs. druid, saplings are fine. Mages however, canot do this, so it quickly bcomes a painstakingly difficult task for a mage to break any well-made druid demesne.

Thats when you move a room away demesne and summon?

Demesne summon is long gone.

Spellcheck wouldn't have caught that.

Subj: Change to Campaign and Miscellaneous Updates

Campaigning for Sanctuary and Crusade during village revolts has been
changed. It is now on a timer, and the campaign will disappear on its
own after five minutes. The campaign will also disappear if the player
leaves the room. For five seconds after the campaign is gone, both the
player and room will be unable to start campaigns of any kind. Please
see CAMPAIGN for the new syntax, as it has changed.

- The Faerie Fire/Illumination affliction was not being removed properly
on its own. It has been corrected, and will be cured after two minutes.

- You will no longer be able to demesne center between different
aetherbubbles.

- Being peaced, pacified, or having the lovers affliction will no longer
prevent you from using targetted SAYs and EMOTEs.

- You will once again be able to die (with dignity!) after throwing up
your innards due to vomiting.

- There is a new message for when Drink(Night) ticks and cures your
afflictions and health.

- You can scry into manses once more.

- Previously, people would be left in the dark if a freezetag game was
initialized. Rest assured, you'll always be informed now if an arena has
started this fun event.

- The ablaze affliction will now be persistent if given by a mob. Sorry,
those hot flames aren't putting out themselves!

- People watching the recovered victim from a Bubble(Aquamancy) were
curiously left in the dark as to who, in fact, came out of the bubble.
This has been corrected.

- You'll once again correctly be able to FAMILY RELATION your great
grand niece/nephew and your half-siblings.

- You will not lose willpower if you try and influence a target not in
the room.

- Flux will no longer push you into a Nexus on the Elemental Plane.

- Herbalists will no longer be able to plant herbs outside of their
proper environments.

- Evade(Stealth) will not bypass Barrier(Telekinesis).

- Certain skills were triggering damage from powerspikes, even while
unusable by means of being off balance. This has been fixed.

No more unbreakable demesnes thumup.gif

Very impressed by this fast bugfixing. Two of those are things I only bugged in the last two days.
Forren2008-02-15 22:30:41
Yay all-around.

Guess I need triggers for gorgog ablaze now.

So happy for the beckon change, quite a good thing.

Now hopefully next report the pipe thing goes through. Prod Callia and Sojiro halo.gif

The contagion change is awesome.

Tripleflash is worthless to anyone with serpent. 50% not including telepathy. Not so great. The Bard Jihad continues. Tripleflash needed a change, just not cutting it's effect in half.

Yay for the sapling, and the Tarot/Runes change will be a huge help. I remember inscribing. sad.gif

The bonecrusher thing is annoying. I'm not sure if it's terribly viable, but Bonecrushers do not need buffs. Focus on archetypes that need it!

Tripleflash doesn't drop on offense.

Well, that marks the end of the massive druid-led killing sprees.

Whats does it mean? O_O

And yeah, bards totally weren't sucky enough before. I thought tripleflash was envoyed to work vs mobs as well to compensate for the change. Oh well.

If they have you ninshi'd and you shield, they can yank (which gives you a rupture, but frees up their weapon). Otherwise, they're just stuck there.
Shiri2008-02-25 04:43:10
But everyone thought it was chaindrag, i.e Achaea yank. Ouch!
