You get limitless squads with the Leadership skill.

3 words... YAY!
Xiel2009-02-11 00:57:38
Someone put up the AB for Mindlink, please? Kinda need to OCD out on my AB collection when I get the chance.
Daganev2009-02-11 01:12:46
Does one normally get removed from the coven when they die or is that new to squads?
Unknown2009-02-11 01:14:46
Covens have always been like that.
Daganev2009-02-11 01:16:33
If that doesn't happen with squads, it might be something worth looking into.

Hmmm, cool. Looks like Astral is gonna have to eat another nerf though.

Covens get more XP than regular squads.

Horrid, thanks constructs.

Dude, quit nerfing stuff.

I swear, when Ackleberry comes out, I'm nerfing your family tree.

Could always make the squad bonus mysteriously disappear on the astral plane due to the instability of the place.
Malarious2009-02-11 02:04:45
Did we need covens to get more exp? That seems unneccessary and rather biased. Please simply make it a normal squad so its a bit more fair (same for mindlinks which are psionics only even).

Squads should not add power to the nexus, this just seems to encourage large scale astral bashing doesnt it? And the most populated place in lusty doesnt even need power XD

Anyway I would like to see all this stuff BALANCED, not BIASED.

That is all

Eh, we just bashed Astral for a bit and got absolutely no power from it (with a group of 5), so... doesn't seem like it'll be all that much. Just a small benefit.
Shryke2009-02-11 02:07:10
Aye, power gain is either bugged, or very small over a -very- large period of bashing.

Check if it is bugged first, if it is horrendously slow gain then it is negligible. Mindlink and coven change still valid complaint

We asked if it was bugged, were told no, just "very slow and takes a lot of bashing".

I guess I will never, ever understand your concept of balance. Not for bards, guardians nor this, now.

CODE
TELEPATHY - MINDLINK

Syntax: MINDLINK FORM
        MINDLINK JOIN
        MINDLINK REJECT
        MINDLINK TRANSFER
        MINDLINK DISSOLVE
        MINDLINK LEAVE
        MINDLINK MEMBERS
        MINDLINK SQUAD
        MINDLINKTELL
        MLT
A mindlink allows you to link your mind with other telepaths. While very few abilities use it, it does allow communication between telepaths from almost any plane. By using TRANSFER, you can pass the focus of the mindlink to another person.

If you have the squads ability in Combat, you can use MINDLINK SQUAD to convert your mindlink into a squad. A mindlink squad earns more XP bonus than a normal squad.

Being extra potent for covens + mindlinks = biased since not everyone can join them. Balance is where its all equal. Covens and Mindlink already give bonuses. As for understanding me...

Woot my goal is accomplished! I have lost Ashteru!



As for xenthos:
Then that sounds fine, power for bashing is kind of meh but if it isnt even going to cause anything then I couldnt care less tongue.gif
