No one below level 50 has been flung into astral. Is the really bar too low?

(I'm seriously asking. I thought it wasn't but if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.)

Level 50 and Astral in Planar. Dying to passive plane damage is a no-no.

I kind of wish I'd been flung to Astral BEFORE I knew it could happen last night....(or at all even sad.gif ) That would have been a really neat adventure! Right now, I'm cursing the necessity of my job cause who knows what sorts of coolnesses are going on this very second! Or this! Or this! (and so on) laugh.gif

Okay... so nexuses shrinking and expanding, water around the Pool of Stars form in giant waves and knocking us off balance... flickering Planar Energies seen once everywhere (I was at the Monastary that time)...

Ooooooh I AM SO EXCITED frenzy.gif

smash.gif That's what I'd do to work if I could! Stupid work! Wonder if my boss'd let me go if I told him "But, you don't understand! The Nexuses are going to explode! THE NEXUSES!" chin.gif Prolly not... laugh.gif

Thanks for the update!

Edit: Should that be "But you don't understand! The Nexi are going to explode! THE NEXI!" instead? unsure.gif
Shirath2006-11-16 17:03:53
Not just the nexuses...

The Planes are unraveling, and if all goes well, Astral Creatures will walk around the Basin from... Well... Soon. God bless the Doomsday Scenarios biggrin.gif

(Btw, Planes really are unraveling)

Time for the bards to step in and save us all! That, or for some REALLY nice hunting on prime!

NexII, not NexUSES or NexI.

EDIT: I feel like I should contribute something... I have heard about them IG, but haven't actually seen one happen yet sad.gif
Unknown2006-11-16 17:16:38
Woot, even the novices are having the dreams. Yay for participation for everyone! wub.gif

It's Nexuses.



And please, stop discussing things about this event on the forums. Just wait until it's over!

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nexus

I used to have a subscription to the online version of the OED through my university. I really miss it. According to the deeply shitty www.dictionary.com, nexuses is the plural. Personally, I've always called them nexi. I assume you're trying to decline according to a Latin declension... which I go with on principle, even if it's anachronistic here: the word appears never to have been a latin noun, but rather a creation of the seventeenth century based on the latin verb nectare. But I don't understand why you'd double the 'i'. Even if it was a Latin second declension, why would the stem be nexi rather than nex?

Spoilsport! I don't see how it hurts things to share quick updates. I won't be able to log in until 6pm central. That's over five hours from now. sad.gif

I was just using the IG file as my reference.

10.2 THE NEXUSES OF POWER

Everything revolves around nexuses of power, great reservoirs of energy
that exist simultaenously on multiple planes. It is through a nexus that
personal power reserves can be replenished, where travel to other planes
may occur, and where guilds can summon forth entities for protection.
There are basically two types of nexuses:

I want updates too. But I know that if I was in game playing, I'd be taking Soll's position.

I'm a happy hypocrite.

But why? I mean... Well, if I was in game playing I wouldn't have time to check the forums very much in the first place (that's why my post count is only really high in the daytime, when I'm unable to play laugh.gif ). But besides that, it's not like any big secrets are being spilled here. Estarra hasn't come up and said "Oh, by the way, the purpose of this event is so the gnomes can ride in on the back of creatures from aetherspace and take over the Baisn of Life" or "Hey, if you guys would only do this, then the Nexuses/Nexi/Nexii will be safe" or anything.

So someone's saying they're getting thrown off balance? So someone's saying something wonky is happening on the Planes.... That doesn't solve any mystery for anyone or spoil anything for people playing right now... cause they KNOW what's going on. I don't. sad.gif

Maybe I'm selfish, but I wanna knooooooooow.

And I don't even want to know the important stuff. If some group finds the key and figures out the riddle, of course they shouldn't share what it is! I'll have lots of fun trying to imagine what it is. But knowing the effects of the mystery doesn't lose the mysteriousness, just like previews for a movie doesn't ruin the movie. Just makes you want to watch the movie more.

but when you do log in, you'll already know these things instead of finding them out.

But I can pretend I don't while playing. I mean, I know all sorts of stuff that Noola doesn't know. All sorts of stuff. ninja.gif
Noola2006-11-16 18:00:00
Anticipation can be good too though, I suppose. Even six hours of it. unsure.gif

So, go ahead and keep every little detail secret. But someone IS logging right? Right? pray.gif

Glee! Everybody's working together! This is awesome... Me, Shirath, Magnagoran at present, Gaudiguchian at heart, is bossing everyone around from the Aetherplex -grin-

Utter utter glee tongue.gif
Soll2006-11-16 18:19:53
Well. I wouldn't go quite that far, but whatever suits you.
