Ok, who wants to manage the betting pool on how long it is until Mr Moneybags Richter gets one?

Heh, Richter may be rich but he's not an artie rabbit.


I vote we change its name to tetrahedron instead! Or maybe if we made it an icosagon (20-sided solid). ninja.gif

Adding more locations could be another possible upgrade. Make it so it's actually, y'know, a cube so we can call it a rubik's cube. smile.gif

Maybe there's a special puzzle to it and if you solve it you'll find a room with a big chain, and if you pulll it...
You go down the toilet and have an instant swishy death!
My Achaean character did that on accident tongue.gif


I did that... and that was in a pyramid! It's a conspiracy!

The best was the several people messaging me straight after saying "don't pull the chain!"... I mean... thanks, I know that NOW... doh.gif

As for the artifact, I was going to suggest making the targets not reset, but my hopes have already been crushed on that... so making it instant, and working across all planes would be good... I tried Harpuia's one and it was very handy...
Kaervas2006-10-26 23:50:53
It definitely shouldn't be instant if it's going to work cross-plane, that would be insane for escaping. What if it worked to adjacent planes so someone could use it to get to astral or something but would have to use multiple settings to do so?

Edit: And it really should be possible to reset the pyramid manually, having to wait until the end of the month sucks.

Well, if I had more money, I might be!

Anyway, this artifact doesn't seem worth it, but I'll be constructive about it. biggrin.gif

Firstly, the price is too high, even if envoys reccomended a higher price. I think there are several skills that do this for cheaper. The fact that it resets every day is a major downside for me, but the potential for abuse seems fairly high if it didn't work that way. It is a highly interesting artifact, but I think even if it was priced at 100 credits, I might pass it over for something more fun/useful.

Does this remind anyone of Yugi ?

Didn't someone have a millenium pyramid or something?

Yes, it was a puzzle he had to put together. laugh.gif

You really don't know me...

ninja.gif -> wizard.gif -> cheer.gif -> peace.gif



But yeah, making it instant OR able to go to an adjacent plane would be good. It shouldn't go to any plane, as that would make it blanketly better than Prize Return, which is a trans skill.

Quit hijacking my thread! This isn't about an artifact, it's about Estarra turning into Kethuru and making us think everything is fine.. for those that haven't realized yet... dry.gif

Die.

And I never liked Yu-gi-oh... I read it when it started out as a comic, and this guy tried writing it with different mediums, tomagochi, tableset RPG, etc., until he finally figured out he could make money off basing the 'fights' with cards (like Pokemon). Once in a while he threw in a story...but until he found his niche, you should have read em. Each weak was about a bullied kid he had to rescue. It was stupid.

On topic: I'd rather spend 800 on a prism. I wouldn't pay more than 200 credits for that item, though it sounds neat.

ANNOUNCE NEWS #666
















Ok fine, so this thread was meant to be a joke and allow me to troll a bit (or that was the idea anyway).. But that doesn't change the fact that the Creatirx is Kethuru! I swear I saw it! ninja.gif
Ista2006-10-27 07:18:26
666 isn't even the correctly translated number.
Esano2006-10-27 07:24:04
It was really 616, wasn't it?

It'd be neat if we could also store alternate personalities in it happy.gif As in, give our SAY stuff a special message, something like goa'uld voices, because those make me happy. I want one of my chars to be able to do that because he has multiple personalities...

but anyways, my suggestions on improving it:

1 to 2 second delay upon activation.
Memorize 5 places (so that it's actually a pyramid, otherwise call it a tetrahedron tongue.gif)
The owner can reset it at will, but it will also "fade"/autoreset after 1 lusternian month from the last reset.
Works similar to Tesseract + Teleport, i.e. to the same or an adjacent plane.
Can "TWIST PUZZLE" to add spiffy voice effects to your character tongue.gif just kidding.
Make the price 400cr instead of 500.
