Now come back, sucker.

No way. They nerfed my summon. I'll come back when I get some kind of fantastic upgrade, and in the meantime I'll bitch incessantly.

Mindblast and vamp are totally bugged. they're not even doing 100 damage to anyone. I bugged it, but I just felt the need to express myself here tongue.gif

Yes, I noticed your bug, and have fixed it. *cough* I was a bit tired when I coded the max ego change to the damage formulae, and they're rather complex, and it turned out I accidentally had the damage being pro-rated by what I had meant to add.

My mantakaya daggers are going to be really massively overpowered with this change pureevil.gif

Very nice changes so far, thank you admins.

Daggers need to be changed-- anyone without trans discipline can be pretty much or indefinately paralyse locked (depending on dagger misses/shrugging). The balance change on super was nice, but an indirect result was that it made daggers a bit overpowered.

Also, I hope tumble/roll gets amended too specifically. They were more of a problem than just size/writhe. Current tumble/rolls are still insane at low sizes.

Thnks Lis! They both seem to be working fine smile.gif
Shamarah2006-04-25 19:28:38
Ixion, it said they capped tumble too.
Ixion2006-04-25 19:32:25
Shamarah, ask anyone who has tested low size tumbles.

The change for such is rather insignificant.

QUOTE

- The way size affects writhing has been re-examined, and now has
similar caps (both minimum and maximum) on the effect it can have on the
speed of writhing as tumble does.


As Roark mentioned at the envoy summit, tumble was already capped - which is scary. There was no change whatsoever to tumble speeds with this update.

What is the speed on super now?
Revan2006-04-25 19:37:50
Super is about 6 seconds now

What was it? (I meant to ask this initially).
Revan2006-04-25 19:39:49
it was about 8 seconds

Both are about correct.

great to know that villeges can't be held up now , with a demesne room of 25 rooms limit. Perhaps the size is a bit small,though negaiting the need to summon which is fine if you ask me it never quite worked anyway.
Geb2006-04-25 22:28:33
I feel all of the changes are good ones. The dagger on the Superstratus channel will need to be looked at or perhaps slowed back to the original 8 second speed (Only animate dagger) to keep it balanced, but the rest of the changes are things I like and actually asked for.
Arix2006-04-25 23:28:31
I know this is a very minor thing, but could you fix it so that the taste and smell descriptions for drinks actually work? I bugged it a long ago, but it's still broken

Subj: Envoy Report Changes

Some more envoy report induced changes:

- Lowmagic Autumn will no longer be lost when the person with the
defence dies.
- Lowmagic Winter now only requires and uses 3 power.
- Highmagic Hexagram will now hit people in all elevations above the
caster, including mountain elevations. It also has a snazzy new colour
in its message for those above the caster.
- Nature Rain is now able to cure mud and stink on those in the room,
however it will only cure one of the personal afflictions, in the order
of priority - fire, mud, stink.
- Wicca Faecall will now cause all your fae in the room with you to
follow you, as well as drawing back fae from elsewhere.
- Wicca Slaugh's AB file has been changed to include the affliction that
slaugh are capable of giving.
- The affliction caused by Druidry Sap will now be cured first when
cleansing or scrubbing, no matter what else you have. It also now has a
unique message when you attempt to do something and it is delayed by the
sap.
