Meh, let's all chill for a while and see how this works out. I am sure if it's going to be bad, it's going to be changed.



Now: GLOMS CONSTRUCT! :DDD
Ildaudid2007-03-25 22:26:24
Actually I think someone should post a thread with all the constructs so far, so that they can see how balanced/unbalanced they are.

And this will help set the tone for the Glom construct, maybe even letting you get a balanced construct in the process Ashy!! nyahnyah.gif

Consider that each prayer takes 2 seconds to invoke and you can pray once every 6 seconds (i.e., they're on their separate balance and are faster than the spells you mentioned). Consider the healing/curing abilities are in addition to whatever you do with herbs and potions. Consider that any Celest citizen can gain the aura at whatever level to gain these prayers.



Hence why I did not immediately launch into a rant because I wanted to know the specifics about the ability before making any conclusions as to it's strength. I was merely pointing out to Aesyra that, from what could be understood merely by the information we had, it seemed to grant some of us abilities we already had.

Honestly, I think I might like this, though I'll have to see it in actual application before I can be certain.

I don't want balanced, I want 80% damagereduction! tongue.gif

No! OP DarkRebirth! Just because it's in Crow doesn't mean it's all that Crowish of a skill. They're just greedy spirits.
Ashteru2007-03-25 22:58:50
For Dark Rebirth, you first have to die and the sweet, sweet 80% DR would be up permanently! (Just imagine me with 80% reduction...omg)



Or we all get cherubs. <.< >.>

How much would 80% damage reduction have helped you in the arena? tongue.gif

I'm going to be really jealous if Glomdoring gets cherubs.

Considering your cudgel did 400 odd damage and your demesne about 800, just taking 100 and 200 damage would've helped a lot. tongue.gif
Damn triggers. sad.gif Least I know that my mornings work.

<3 to Ayridion for letting us play with it while discussing.


The protection field isn't that awesome.

The prayers are useable while prone, but require balance/eq and are still subject to web/entangle/transfix/stun.
You can only use them once every 6 seconds.
They take 2 seconds of eq.

Laetitia is better (targetable at others) and only takes 2 seconds eq.
Puella only takes 3 seconds and is targetable.

The construct upkeep is 600 power, 1.2k gold per IG month.

Basically, not worth the cost.
I disagree, but that is me.

In response to Elostian, I would give Estarra a 9 as an admin, simply because the story and core mechanics in Lusternia are better than any other MUD I've seen and she obviously works hard on it. Thing is, she really needs to discretely create some characters and start PvPing. It's been made clear many times that despite her many good traits, she doesn't have a first person understanding of the PvP here, or she would have realized that the thought of people chaining trueheal even once in a fight would send players into a rage.
Ashteru2007-03-25 23:17:10

You rhyme like a swine!


Hurrhurr. Give me my personal cherub.




Anyway: Yep, I love Lusties storie and Background. The races are the best I have seen in any game, as well. PvP...I don't know, a few things seem VERY out of whack, but usally, I think it's quite nice. Gooo on with the good work, Adminteam. ^^

It is not swinish when purely unintentional.... *glare ash*

You're serious? Every last Magnagoran would trade the Crypt for the Angelfont and gladly. Oboi Archlich.

5 abilities that I can already do in combat.

PRAY TO ELOHORA - Cures a random ailment - invoke gedulah
PRAY TO SHAKINIEL - Raises a shield - invoke pentagram
PRAY TO METHRENTON - Heals health - chant puella
PRAY TO JAPHIEL - Heals mana - starchant lustration
PRAY TO RAZIELA - Heals ego. - chant laetitia

Uhm, 2 second eq loss to shield... takes Jello the tae'dae 6 seconds normally. shocked.gif Probably 3 then for a tae'dae but still, that like takes away half of my racial disadvantage since I'll probably never need to shield more than once in a row to begin with.
Catarin2007-03-25 23:31:19
There is no denying it's a nice construct and has some nice features. The shield prayer is quite nice. We're grateful for getting the chance to test it a bit and I doubt anyone is going to come here and whine about it.

But when and whether to put the construct up is an IC decision for Celest. Shouldn't really matter to anyone else at this point given that I think it's pretty clear it's not overpowered.

I knew it.. it was probably another Draconis


Draconis was awesome in the day. Then they changed it to protect from magic damage only and I died a little inside.

Heh. it will be raised, if you don't want to, I am sure one of the many gods in Celest will have it raised. And while it isn't way OP per say, it is by far the best construction there is by far. So, if you don't raise it, you will just be denying yourselves the best construction IG.

Just stop, Visaeris. You don't have to be absurd. I won't even begin to compare constructs at this point because I know anything I say will simply fall on deaf ears.

You had said that the envoys spoke about this construct this morning with Estarra. One question: How many Celest envoys were present? To be as fair as possible, shouldn't representatives from all organizations be present?
