The astral mini-bubble is there from the scavenger hunt (last I checked) so I don't know why the ethereal one was removed (maybe it was due to the fa'alrunia whatever named quest was removed, but it should still be there for posterity). Perhaps it was a bug and magically poofed.
Ild, love your idea about some small, Kethuru-worshipping org with very limited assets/guilds like assassins and another class only maybe. The phase is a neat idea too, though it can't be anything like achaea phase, which I despise.

More Great Spirit everything.
Great Spirit Confrontation -- Currently, the Great Spirits never visibly leave their forests. Sure you could say that every night, Crow/Hart/Moon/Night all get together to play a game of poker, but..I'd like to see minor events to show the confrontation. Maybe Moon and Night meet over the Basin and duel each other, or maybe Hart sneaks into the Glomdoring and tries to do something. And really, screw the Commune Spirits--I want to see Wolf attack Snake, or something. I'd like to see backgrounds for other spirits set up.
Great Spirit Cooperation -- The Great Spirits are kind of dulled down elder gods, right? They have their own agendas and such, so--Why can't there be events where Wolf and Night try to prematurely vanquish moon (Lolz, wolf hates moon cuz he howlz!!111) or something to show that Night and Crow don't sit in Glomdoring and cackle, while Moon and Hart sit in Serenwilde and fret over the state of things, or do whatever it is they do.
For that matter, I'd like to see a Great Spirit breach the Ethereal and interact with some half-formed. Raziela/Mother Night interaction, anyone? I think Crow and Nifilhema would have a lot to talk about.
So...basically. Just more Great Spirit stuff. Not only limited to our spirits, but non-commune tied.

Don't know Achea's version, I know Imperians, but I would want it more restrictive, as in you cant get that one attack from in phase to someone else who not in phase, but have it some type of more or less recon skill, guards cannot touch you, you can hear and follow and see everything going on, but if an opposing org member also has phase and phases to check and see if you are there, they can have a normal fight with you in phase. Maybe even chockmah allowing you to see someone is there, but nothing can hit them unless someone/group of someones phase and attack you. Oh yeah and you CANNOT phase in a room with people in it. PERIOD. It would not be an escape thing from a fight. It would take like 4-5 seconds to phase max, so if someone entered the room while you were phasing it would stop the phase. And it should cost like 5 power to phase. Also like I said you should be able to go anywhere, including manses (that you have access to or are following someone who has perms to it)

Not sure what compensation to give guild leaders, if any. I don't think credits are appropriate. Maybe karma? More things for karma to do? Ideas?
An artifact. Works for Champions, and even just going from the artifacts we have now, not all of them are combat-oriented. Maybe a transport one for GAs, and a willpower/endurance regen one for Guildmasters? Of course it'd be better to have unique ones per guild; I'm just trying to establish that there are possibilities.
Shorlen2007-02-14 23:55:15
What I'd like to see is some minor racial rebalancing. Reduce Viscanti sip a bit, alter Tae'dae so they are viable (speed them up but lower some of their bonuses, or introduce some warrior spec / skillset where speed doesn't matter for certain skills, similar to psionics), give remove the dwarven balance penalty, speed up igasho a bit (I think?), and so on.
And while you're at it, give Igasho racial mountaineering : P

An aethership arena is out of the question but I think the envoys and Roark had discussed some alternative idea that Roark said was doable but I forget what the idea is. Hope they put it in an envoy report and don't rely on my memory! (As the gods can attest, never rely on my memory...)
I'd love it if an Envoy could say what this idea was, I must not have been around for it.
Vesar2007-02-15 00:04:02
Too bad about no aether arenas. <-Sad face (too lazy to add smileys) I'd love to hear/give suggestions on alternate ways to practice aethership combat without killing each other.
I'd like to see more development in aetherspace. Y'all are already doing awesome and I can't wait to see more. More aetherbubbles, more planes(?), and maybe even two aetherbubbles that are connected in that there is a conflict between the two and you can choose to help or hurt one side.
And.. well... everyone has already said it... more hunting areas! Astral -> Gorgogs -> Sharks -> Shallach -> Repeat gets old... really fast. Plus there are always 5+ people doing the same thing. Now that deafness has been pumped up, Fesix and Eagles are really a pain to hunt, so those are scratched off my list (and several other's lists, as well).

-Bashing areas
-Off continent, on prime areas
-Underground tunnels! (Underdark, anyone?)
-And Estarra, the ship idea was to have aether creatures not attack near docks, so you could fool around in those area
-Deepnight! (I'm 16 pages into what will likely be a 40 page proposal, room descriptions, full quests, mob descriptions, etc included)
-Boss monsters?
-More stuff in arts
-More venoms!
-Use for polearms and daggers, for warriors
-More stuff on the spirit plane?
-Bigger astral areas (I want more bashing areas, but I don't want them to be all off astral, I paid for a circlet, and don't want to trade it in)

No, I'm sure there was more to it than that. I'll have to ask Roark!
Ok, enough with the requests for new areas!

They wanted an aether arena complex to have battles, but Roark said it was hard to code, so he was thinking of another way to go around it, I can't remember the idea he came up with now, but it sounded solid.
It wasn't an envoy meeting, it was a big meeting with Estarra and Roark in the Havens. Knowing Tully he probably has a log of it, you can ask him for it. (non-pope smilie)

I like Gwyl's idea of giving those in higher leadership positions befitting artefacts. So, let's brainstorm those.
Possibly for the Commune/City leader: Sceptor/Staff/Crappy Old Piece Of Tree of Dominion - Allows the bearer to TOUCH STAFF(etc) Goldie, for example, to travel to any denizen or citizen of the Commune/City who is within the City/Commune's territory.
Master's Ring: Touching the ring sends out a wordless call to all guild members across all planes and through all afflictions and states of being (pretty much just for cool RP reasons, I know it wouldn't be that useful). Something along the lines of "Your soul senses a vibration of the aetherstrands around you and know that your Guildmaster calls you"
Karma Niyama: When wearing this artefact the amount of karma a leader can absorb doubles.
Ok so I just woke up and that's formatted very poorly and thought out probably even less well, but it's something.
