I think Estarra may have been mistaking it with another skill.


Psh, there was no mistake--the POSITIONING skill is well known by many!

sooo because there isnt enough room my bard using music cant attack somone?

I imagine room effects could still hit everyone applicable, targetted skills not so much, you cant exactly focus your damage song at a person through someone else.

I know how some Diku-style MUDs handle it (I assume that is where the idea came from) with their tanking/buffing combat systems that are turn/round-based, but how would it work in a dynamic combat system like Lusternia's?
Actually, it was coded in Hourglass which, unless my memory is fuzzy, is what Achaea was first based on before Rapture was developed. The combat system, at least the idea behind it if not the complexity (no wounds, various kill conditions etc), is the same in the MUD I had in mind. But I still don't really know how we would factor in the possible allies abuse (at least without much hassle) or scale it properly to include Demigods/Ascendants. sad.gif The more I think about the complications the more I see how tough it would be to pull it off in Lusternia with all its complexity. Hopefully someone will get inspired and come with a ground breaking solution though! content.gif

In my most brutally honest opinion, after Glomdoring gets its monk guild, nothing new needs to be introduced until the Admins finally sit down and go over all the other censor.gif that's been piling up. I CAN HAZ WARRIOR OVERHAUL PLZ?

From what I can see, the only thing in any help file references Estarra and the Commander spec in Aethercraft. This has led me to think that one of the following is the truth: either Estarra is referring to the number of people who are Commanders in Aethercraft, or simply the fact that several people have some general knowledge of the Commander spec itself -OR- she's making some kind of vague sex joke.

Or it was still April 1 for her when she was posting that (albeit past noon. Maybe they don't have that part of the tradition in America though.)

Er, we've had this feature for 2 years.




Past noon, but still April 1st. Maybe it is an April Fool's thing, and my mind is just so far in the gutter that I'm the only person who possibly considered the idea that it was a sex joke.
Shurimaru2008-04-02 14:47:33
Worry not, Bashara. Worry not.
Edit: since I was ninja'd, I'd like to clarify that this was a reference to him thinking it was a crude sex joke.
