...replaced with opengut. ROFL.

No stun or extra bleed or anything, just open gut.

Lol.

Roarkfail.

It was more Roarkfail for implementing them in the first place, now you're just bitter your cities monk class doesn't have a win button.

Lusternia's a great game, where any attempt at balance is perceived as 'fail'. Well, only when it affects you.

Well, instakill vs. opengut is a pretty... significant downgrade.

Since opengut is nigh-useless.

The previous setup was too much, you have to agree. Ninjakari are by no means useless now.

Oh, I agree (that double-stacking thing was an unstoppable instakill, and thus the disembowel had to go away).

It could easily have been something that was still useful, though... it just could not be a second regeneration instantkill, in terms of stacking ability. Balance-wise, it shouldn't be an instakill at all (being able to easily stack two timed instakills at once is a bit much).

Do you disagree that this was too much of a step in the other direction for this skill?

All the Magnagoran envoys who commented were approving of the switch.

I thought that those envoys agreed assuming various other conditional changes...

TBH, I mostly just can't wait to see where Izekeal runs to next. He is running out of guilds with assured instakills to choose from.

Excuse me? I'm bitter? Ardmore please shut the censor.gif up. I'm probably bitter now that you are being retarded but otherwise no, my earlier post was not bitter about the downgrade, the downgrade was 100% deserved, any class that can disembowel AND burstorgans at the same time has very powerful potential and leans on the border of OP.

However... -opengut- as a replacement? Seriously?

Tis fine though. This is temporary. It'll be changed again to be useful once more, however the change for just opengut and no extra bonus i.e stun, bleed, etc. for an ability which requires grapple + yank is very stupid. I.e, Roarkfail.


Edit:Oops, ninjad by Xenthos.

Sorry Charune no, I spoke with the Mag envoys personally and they did not agree to just the 'opengut' affliction. Xenthos already explained it.

Edit2: "Mag envoys" refers to Ceren and Lanfayr, because there was a long discussion of what the new affliction would be.

Saw the rather silly replies from Ardmore/Charune and decided to stop reading and had to reply. sad.gif Then continued reading after the reply and saw I was ninjad a long time ago. ;_;

Disembowel had to go, and as far as the Report looks.. It was supposed to be replaced by Opengut + 100 additional bleeding? The only two Magnagoran envoys that commented were Ceren and Lanfayr, and if there were more objections, they should've been brought up. Since there was mutual agreement, especially from the Ninjakari envoy herself, I don't see why you're ranting about it Thoros. Ninjakari are still very nice in their own regard. You know if Izekeal joins your guild, you've clearly got something that needs to get nerfed anyway. tongue.gif

If as you say,

(1) "the downgrade was 100% deserved"; and

(2) "Tis fine though. This is temporary",

then possibly 'Roarkfail' is an over-exaggeration.

I imagine that what you really mean is: "I would like to thank you, Roark, for doing your best to straighten the kinks in class balance. In this instance, I think you may have erred too far in the wrong direction but I acknowledge that achieving balance is a difficult process fraught with vested interests which are well-nigh impossible to reconcile let alone satisfy, and I am confident that you will achieve a happy medium in time."

There is an appreciable difference between the 'idiots' and other subforums. Civility is not an optional extra here.

How's it fail when it was Ceren who asked for opengut + 100 extra bleed? I guess 100 extra bleed really mattered more than I thought.

Because Celenwilde gets whatever it wants, apparently.

Apparently Ceren and Lanfayr are also a part of the Celenwilde.

CELENWILDE CONSPIRACY.

EDIT: And now Fain is too.

1) Yes that was the agreement.

2) Past experience with you comes to show that you are the master of ignorance. No, I was not ranting. Maybe you should take a more in depth look into what's written in each post.

3) Agreed. And who said otherwise?
