Sanctuary does need to be changed, at least a little. Perhaps set it to turn off after a certain amount of time, so you at least need to be at your computer to hold sanc in a location?


Pins. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX FOCUS PINS!! I shouldn't have to take off my clothes whenever I need to remove a dramatics affliction. I don't know what YOU do with pins in real life, but I do not pin them to my chest. It would hurt.

Why hasn't it ended yet? I know there's problems with Sanctuary, but that can't be the only reason... sad.gif

It's just because there's good competition. I'd need someone to attest to it, but I believe a win occurs when one org gets far enough ahead of the others.

While you all were influencing:

8 votes from fourth place and putting Lusternia behind us!
www.imperian.com/vote.


Then a few moments later they took over!!!



GO VOTE!!!!!

And wow, how long have you all been influencing?? Actually I am glad I haven't logged into an influencing contest... I cannot stand how long they take.... It's utterly insane and depressing.

2 hours at least, I think at most 4 hours?

That was 24 minutes for one, 4:06 for the other. That's one short influence, and one perfect length influence.

Long. Psh.

I agree, Sanctuary needs a retooling. While I respect, and like, that an attempt is being made to include events that are not simply wars, one should not simply be able to lay down sanctuary, and be completely free from combat.

One idea would be to set some requirements in place for calling sanctuary: like having to be at full health and mana to do so like vitality. I would also agree with a time limitation on the sanctuary.

Even better: simply make it so that if the caller of sanctuary leaves the room, the sanctuary falls. This would introduce a new strategic element to combat as well.

10.3.1.1 INFLUENCE CAMPAIGNS: Crusades & Sanctuaries

Upon reaching City Rank 3 or Commune Rank 3, you will have the ability to channel power from your nexus in influence campaigns for villages in play. You must first go to your nexus and CAMPAIGN CRUSADE or CAMPAIGN SANCTUARY in order to set which influence campaign you wish to prepare for. Then, when a village goes into play, you can set a location for that campaign type. That location will be locked in whatever type it is set in until you leave that location (or die in the case of crusades).

That's from HELP SANCTUARY. Does it work differently in practice?

No. It already has that limitation.

I missed that in the help file, but I'm not sure of implementation. I wasn't able to personally see any sanctuary fall as a result of a person leaving. I may be mistaken, though.

Subj: Dairuchi Celebrations

The celebrations in Dairuchi roar across the Basin, as the dracnari there engage
in drunken festivities. In their inebriated state, they declare themselves free
and no longer under the sphere of influence of the Holy Principality of New
Celest.

The Village of Dairuchi has called down a temporary spell of peace to protect
its borders, declaring that, in honor of Eroee, it does not wish war within its
borders.

Isuka: your campaigns do fade out when you move. Also, I like both the idea of being at full health/mana when calling sanctuaries and having them only last a few minutes. thumup.gif

I was annoyed at the toads hopping into sanctuaries. Curse that instakill!
Unknown2007-02-25 02:36:15
I think the idea of it only lasting a few minutes, or the average amount it would take for an influence or two is very good

It's not an instant-kill.

It's a skill that removes someone from the fight with a chance for an instant-kill later.

That's not to say that I don't think wiccans should get an insta-kill-- they should-- but toadcurse itself is not an instant kill. Nor do I believe toadcurse itself should be.
Callia2007-02-25 02:58:25
I'd like toadcurse to last a long time, like a few hours or such of logged in time, unless cured by:

The Wicca who cast it, or another Wicca with toadcurse. For city curing, maybe an ally could 'scoop' up a toad, and give him to a supernal/demonlord, and they would reverse the curse?

That would be really terrible.

Oh, I know it's not meant to be an instakill. The latter part of my original statement was just venting.

I love the flavour of Toadcurse (over, say, absolve or wrack), and am quite happy with it staying the way it is.

Well it would make them more willing to just sit there and let us squish them... :-p

Lasting hours would be nice... or atleast maybe 15 minutes. But I think the cure of being kissed should stay.
