Heh, that one tricked Aramel too...that quest is a bit confusing.

I don't like the idea of removing divorce lines, or anything that rewrites history (i.e., people not liking their decisions and wanting a do-over). You got married, then you got divorced. It's part of your history and you should live with it.

On another note, reading this thread an idea struck me: would anyone buy an artifact that hides your honours (i.e., gives a line "This person's honours is hidden from view" or something like that)? Just curious!

I would, if I could afford it. Let it only be viewable to people on your allies list maybe?

throw in that it also hides the guild score and certainly.

My clans being secret FTW

Just for clarification, would it say


or just return "This person's honours..."

A lot of the time, I honours people just to find out what org they're from.

I think it would be amazing to allow custom messages for hidden honors, with admin approval of course.

Nono, I meant. Where would the honours fail to provide information?

Would it be like trying to poke someone while graced or would it be like trying to farscout with no one there. Meaning that if I try to honours someone who has the artifact, will I at least see their title or would I just get a "No honours for you!" message?

I'd expect it to be like this.

Now that's unfair, if you let some people be rid of their "History" like that, you're forcing others to buy something expensive if they just want one line or so removed, if you'd include that why not bring out another just for each line, but it's cheaper.

Divorces build character, like scars. Show them off and share the stories behind them!

Divorcing to get around game mechanics seems silly and unnecessary.

Also, I don't like the idea of hiding your honors. They had that in Aetolia and it was extremely obnoxious. You couldn't even see their title, or rank, or find out any information about them at all.

Suggest a fix for the mechanics? Realistically, neither is likely to happen, but at least then you'd be pointing at what's wrong.

Also, necro = bad

I figured we'd be more likely to get an artifact to remove divorce lines than a whole re-write to the family system.

Maybe a multiperpose artifact that can remove any line from ya honours for good or something, that way people could also remove honours for quests they completed by being tricked into it

It's not rewriting history, it's just a question of where the information is available. It doesn't change that you've been divorced. There's a registry office, why not make that information available at the registry office where you register for bloodlines, etc. Just like birth or marriage certificates are available as public information, but you have to go get it and it costs $5 (here in the US), make it available for a nominal fee. I don't see why it needs to be part of the honours line. It's an artifact from an old system.

I'm also for poly marriage, as well.
