I just woke up and all the Elder Gods have left me and I'm sitting alone in the havens while strange visions are running across my mind's eye....


Alone? What happened to Roark and Sior?

We'll look at adjusting costs later....


I'm sure you'll adjust the costs to be exactly what they need to be. Thanks in advance.


To Derian: Its a good question and not one that I'd be able to answer right now. I'll try to figure out how to explain my ideas for what would be better and post again.

Meh, probably was a bad taco, I ate.


Ladies and gentlemen, we have our culprit.

Roark is a taco?

I think if all the aether constructs in an area are destroyed that the nexus swarmy doom critters should come back, to give people incentive to keep them up. That's the whole reason they were built in the first place, neh?

Uh... so far, the general consensus has been that we'd rather have swarms of creatures that give exp / offerings, than pay 2500 power per day to keep them away. :/

If it's adjusted, then yeah, things are different. But we're really, really hoping for an adjustment. smile.gif

If you don't pay the upkeep for a construct, they should fall inactive until the upkeep is paid, since they cost so absurdly much to build sad.gif Like, let the power ministry choose to disable constructs, so they don't pay the upkeep, but they don't work either.
Soll2006-12-23 10:38:32
Yeah. I'd really rather that the upkeep didn't destroy the structures, that they just fell inactive. I'm really upset we just lost 50k power. sad.gif
Shiri2006-12-23 10:46:44
That does kind of suck. sad.gif

Wow, upkeep costs ftl. I woke up this morning to a poofed construct because, of course, no one knew about the upkeep costs except me, and no treasurer or Council member can be found to give my ministry funds. Doubt I'll rebuild it anytime soon. Maybe if there's a "Win Lusternia" construct I'd build it, but maaaan. Bring on ze serpents!
Unknown2006-12-23 16:10:54
On a positive note, I attempted to rebuild the construct after getting funds only to find out I have to wait 7 months before I can rebuild it. Bad timing too, since I'll be traveling. If you're gunna drop upkeep costs on us, and then not give our SLOW censor.gif Council time to get the funds in, that's just. I don't know. I have no words.

Novices stay away from the Pool! Creatures'll come and get ya

eyepoke.gif So many creatures, so much lag.
Acrune2006-12-23 16:37:55
At least the abysmal lag warns us of the 500 additional creatures on our world tongue.gif

Yay for getting screwed because the "detailed help files come later" laugh.gif Oh well. I hope the changes to the tainted stuff are permanant happy.gif Would be such a happier game. smile.gif

Let it be known that Magnagora, once known as the City of Prophets, shall be known as the City of Flowers.

From: Estarra, the Eternal
To : Everyone
Subj: Constructs

Upkeep costs for constructs have been reduced.

Also, the harmony power has been upgraded to include waiving the cost of
immolations at its nexus (as well as 25% xp bonus on aetherbubbles).

Penned by My hand on the 11th of Urlachmar, in the year 165 CE.

Upkeep is now 500 power per month, instead of 2500.
Xenthos2006-12-23 18:58:46
Yep! spoton.gif

It looks rather nice now. Rather nice indeed.

Thank you!

(And Soll, was the 7-OOC-day thing waived as well?)

There are.. two aetherbubbles worth hunting at the moment.

I admit to not reading on further.
Nexus worlds are aetherbubbles.
Making newbies happy FTW!
