does font bathing cure insanity, or just everything else?

Twice a day (2 hours), you get an exp boost, plus you can completely wipe insanity away from you. Which means, you can pretty much continue to drain every node on Astral with the rest of Mag without worrying about a thing, and get everyone up to Demi and all that. I don't see why you're complaining.
Also, you can now raid Celestia until you're insane, wipe away insanity, and keep raiding.

A) it's not complete wipe.
B) Exp boost is a stupid power.
C) Celestia insanity is completely irrelevant and not an issue.
D) See B. "Get everyone to Demi". Seriously?

Now that I look at it, Seren isn't too bad. Nevermind!

I don't know what to say. Skills that negated xp-loss entirely, all the time - were due for a change. Long overdue. I guess coming from a game like Achaea, I felt that those abilities (lichdom/dark rebirth/transmigration )had a huge impact on Lusternia and not a positive one. Had it been more like Achaea's version of soulcage, it'd be far more reasonable. Ah well. Cheers to that. Took four years, but hey. (hum)
I'm a bit skeptical about Celest's construct, but I don't know if I can muster the wp to care these days. I hope people like it.

Celests aquas and monks just got deadly >_>
Their new offensive attack only works for one minute every RL hour, and has four seconds between procs. If monks can time their strikes to take PERFECT advantage of the procs, they slow their output massively in exchange for a 20% chance to get vapors, as opposed to the ridiculously easily cured afflicts the other 80%. If they don't, they have even fewer chances of afflicting vapors over the course of the minute.
Aison: the insanity is only 50% of total, once per day. If you want to know what would really be a boost in draining Astral, it's the Chaos Crown, and a Circlet.
But yeah, during Wildnodes, Final Stage Ascension, and any event involving the Astral Plane, it'll be awesome.

Oh and before anyone asks the Lich nerf is completely meaningless and I don't mind at all. My problem is with the Blackcrypt sucking now, and the blame for that rests with the leadership of Mag.

I wasn't saying it was amazing. Just that you have some nice stuff with the Crypt you shouldn't take for granted.

The Moon Altar changes are not that great. Moonbeam isn't a skill everyone wants. Why? Because it sucks. A local area teleport that's stopped by being on a monolith or going to a monolith, the person can just walk away from to stop, and it takes ages to go through. It's not even used that often by people who -have- it. Except maybe if they have a group following them. Then there's the outdoor regen, which isn't that great when you consider where you'll need the regen most, which is bashing, and where do most people bash these days? The Undervault, which isn't outdoors, it's underground. Gorgogs are indoors, Arthar'rt, Krokani. Even parts of astral are indoors. And why a point of charisma? The only people that helps are those who influence and bards. I mean, I'm appreciative of the changes and all that, but the construct is vastly worse than it used to be, and in exchange, we lost being able to resurgem everyone for free to upping it to 10 power. So 5 person and 10 power resurgem now (sorry for the other guys, but I'm not spending 10 power to revive you), and a not that great construct.

Ohh. I figured thatit meant that they could basically wipe the slate clean and be sane again and just start over. So it works more like the healing ability than anything. Which sounds fair.
Doman2008-05-22 22:26:33
Remember, these aren't supposed to be must-have things anyway. A nerf was probably in order
Sarrasri2008-05-22 22:29:00
I know they're not supposed to be must-haves, but at least wants is good.
Doman2008-05-22 22:30:10

The phials for celest costing 10 power every 10 uses or 3 days is kinda crappy too

I actually like the commune constructs, but I don't believe the rationale given to me as to why Glom's regen works everywhere but Seren's is outdoors only. To flash my SFB badge a bit.
I think it's a bit of a bummer that the cities' constructs are more robust than the commune's though, but I guess we can only blame the ones in the committee for that, eh?
Oh, I like beam, I love it now, everyone else should too, the fact that everyone has it now means that everyone pretty much has a delayed flow, on top of how you can cure and stuff while it's working. I personally have a 3s beam now, so that helps as far as the whole 'but your target moves before it completes' complaint goes. I wish we could've asked for all moonchildren to get moondance aura too, though.
P.S. Ascendants lose 75k essence on vitae. Probably same for demis.

If we're not careful, we could end up doing what Mag did and drain our node carelessly. I hope Celest sees past that and is smart about allowing phials. :/

I just can't wait for the group combat that consists of nothing but blackout. Cheers to that!

I was under the impression you could lichseed any person....
But well, it is mag only....
I was wrong I guess, but I swore I remember a discussion about lichseeding people somewhere in the past and the powers that be liking it or something... maybe the shiribot knows what I am talking about but I am not going to search for it.
Ahh well, it would have been cool to seed non mags and have them cleanse themself somehow to get rid of the seed (or keep the seed ;P )

Celina2008-05-22 23:00:01
I'm confused, what is everyone carrying on about? What were the Celest changes? Something about blackout....
edit: Also, I don't have transmigrate but I do have a pet. Do these new bonuses apply to trans ecologists only? Or do i get the bonuses but without knowing what they are...
edit2: Okay, I think I have an extra point in dex. ADMIN: Perhaps it would be better if you moved the pet info from transmigration to Rebirth, since rebith actually deals with the pet, and so people with pets but not trans can still figure out their bonuses.
