I think the point was missed on my bolded one. Ascendants didn't care about knowing WHEN they got a new skillset, they can just do AB ASCENDANCE between each one. We were interested in finding out how long it'd take to get to the next skill, since evidently it's going to take months and months RL of bashing.

If this is known and just an unrelated change though, that's fine!


I am curious what skills we plan to give someone whose a perma demi... and how balanced those will be when they really start coming into use.

That gives me all the more weight! Like a 4s insta, that requires the target be prone and costs essence, usable once a Lusternian day. That was a requested not sure if they used it. Those kind of things seem irksome.

I haven't forgotten that! However, my computer decided to explode.gif and so I'm pretty much out of coding commission until a new computer arrives. So please be patient with me for the next few weeks.

He's lying!!!

He sold his computer and is moving to Italy to discover the source of the FSM.

Farewell, Morgfyre! We shall miss you greatly! Except the third tentacle from the left. That one was particularly evil. :C

Edit: And, if you recall, he will be creating his game, "Morgfyre's Tuscan Villa", too! I eagerly await it!

Understood, and my condolences on your loss! hug.gif

Ok, this is in place now.

Edit: It would probably help if I mentioned how. You will see how far along you are when a learning session in Ascendance completes.

Awesome, thanks!

Can't wait to play it.

I want to be a limo driver who says nothing when I see Myndaen pop a few glock shots at some thugs. happy.gif

I just hope that these Envoys call for still influencing-denizens. I'm so sick of them running miles away in the middle of our fight. Lucky bashers. mad.gif

A year and a half later, the change finally went in. I think it's funny. biggrin.gif

yet some manage to still utterly dissapear on people and end up 6 rooms further
Acrune2008-03-23 21:00:19
I think that means that they repopped. That's always happened to me when I was influencing.

yes, and it was the only movement that ever bothered me, because they do not end the influence session on repop, walking out of the room is easy to track
Rika2008-03-23 21:47:34
Repopping also seems to reset their ego, but not their resistances to the influences.
Unknown2008-03-23 23:58:48
Happened to me before...influencing a demon....then it just disappeared. =(
Gwylifar2008-03-24 16:35:48
That's not different from it happening when hunting or in a quest -- pretty much everything resets.

ANNOUNCE NEWS #1045
Date: 3/24/2008 at 18:45
From: Roark Libertas
To : Everyone
Subj: Few Updates

+ Wiping weapons clean, changing stance, filling pipes, and lightingpipes can now be done while off balance.
+ Fixed some strange quirkiness with truss and stealth's screen that could have occassionally caused them to transfer to other players. (No one has complained about it yet, but in case one or two of you have seen
something like that...)
+ For monks, new command: KA SYNTAX . This will let you suppress the syntax reminder spam for when you mess up the command.
+ Also for monks, it should consistently no longer attack a new NPC when you land the killing blow on another mid-way through a kata form.

Penned by My hand on the 10th of Dvarsh, in the year 201 CE.

How silly. Please tell me what was the purpose of buying artifact pipes? I really hope there's an upgrade in store for them. Stancing off balance? Way to accommodate monks. With how little investment they already put in, this is too much.
Unknown2008-03-24 19:08:11
This does seem to take the point of artifact pipes away, now they're pretty much just nondecay pipes. I wouldn't mind if artie pipes had more puffs *nudge*

I agree that changing stance seems a bit meh, but it's probably not that a big deal.
Munsia2008-03-24 19:29:24
Filling pipes off balance shouldn't be made a big deal. It's insanely stupid how TP's have to stop their attacks for awhile just to get that pipe filled.
Lets talk about how unbalanced love potion is!!

Let's not, because love potion is pretty much balanced.
