He might also be referring to drapes, which make a room dark, but don't allow for Drawdown and Nightkiss.

Subj: Envoy Mini Report

Envoy Mini Reports

-Mages and druids can now break melds on antithetical planes (but still
can't change the environment).
-Thornlash bleeding has been reduced and all vines are destroyed upon
thornrend.
-Those bonded with totems will receive messages when the bond dissolves.
-Toads now have a delay when hopping from room to room. Bug is fixed and
you should see them hopping.
-Hex users should all be able to have 6 hexes irregardless if other hex
users are in the room. The ability to steal hexes has been removed.
-Amputation causes more bleeding. Also, those with amputated legs will
have a much harder time moving.
-You can now specify what affliction to writhe free of. See HELP WRITHE.

This is the majority of the envoy mini issues. There's a few more
outstanding changes which we will hopefully get to later this weekend.

Penned by My hand on the 7th of Tzarin, in the year 155 CE.

Some of those are good.. What dont you like?

The change to thornlash in being able to writhe off entanglement first without difficulty. The initial bleeding had to go, and the other changes are fine.

But how do you effectively stick thorns now?

You don't.

EDIT: And what's worse, I made a suggestion to reduce the whorishness of constant thornlashing, and they go and 1) remove the ability to make thorns stick, and 2) not even put in the full effect of the supposed-to-be-upgraded thornrend. Bastard.

Darkseed will be about the only way to stick thorns. If they writhe entanglement, you can stack thorns. If they writhe thorns, they can't do much, and bleeding may or may not stack up now.

If you're Blacktalon, well, sucks to be you.

God damn it.

I hate these change. For once in my life I didn't have to listen to every druid in the game bitch at the top of his lungs. It was GLORIOUS. Well, here we go again...

How is it harder to stick thorns now?

No, see, you writhe entanglement then ignite.

There's breaking limbs, but that's about the only affliction that will contribute to stacking thorns. I'm not sure what else would.
