I laughed, and then I hated myself for laughing, and then I laughed some more. I thought you'd be pleased to know that.


Good! I laughed too. I also pictured Timberlike abusing a young Spears who kept sobbing 'I love you so much', but I was going to keep that to myself.

Defensive things (like guards) get upgraded only very rarely in Lusternia, and usually only because things have gotten so very very bad that Estarra has no choice. But abilities to defeat defenses are getting upgraded constantly. We're definitely on the low end of the "why even bother" scale. I sure hope the issue's very very soon on the table (as in a recent but now locked thread). Between the progression of this perpetual imbalance, and the bugs I'm still trying to pin down enough to report, which also favor the attacker's escape, I really don't see a point in getting involved in defense. Your choices are go on the offense, or bend over.


This is how I feel about all defense. I don't waste my time with kick and run raids or raids that involve one player that will likely turn tail and run immediately - it's a waste of my time, my resources, and generally, somebody else less concerned about such wastes will go up there anyways to spook them. When the methods to escape defenders get curtailed a little, maybe I'll give much of a crap - but I'm definitely in agreement that the "why even bother" factor is pretty much microscopic.

Buggy Malacoda quest makes me a sad panda. losewings.gif I've spent hours and hours in there going over the whole place, and it's just not possible. I thought it was just me, but at least two people have confirmed it. sad.gif

Just when I think the lag spikes are gone and start influencing, they keep coming back. losewings.gif Exp grind is delayed.

You see exits leading north and through an immense waterfall.
You see exits leading north, southeast, and west.
Why?

Sigh. Influencing won't work with my connection problems as they are. Either I get dc and lose defs, or I lose influence battles. D:

Maybe I'll get used to it, but the random white colors in the exits is a little annoying right now.

Yeah. And special exits aren't colored.

Here I was excited to test if Indigo would let me detect dreambodies...and got disappointed to learn it doesn't. losewings.gif

Wait, it doesn't? Could have sworn it used to.

It does when Dreamweaving isn't buggy as all get out.

I don't think that condition has ever been realized.

For very brief moments here and there.

It's been broken this time for quite a while though.

I wonder why that is. Why is Dreamweaving such a difficult skill to get to work? I'm sure there must be a reason why it never works, but for -years- it has been unstable. Maybe it's time to scrap it and redesign it from the bottom up.

I just heard a whole bunch of voices shriek in unbearable agony.

Roark explained that Dreamweaving clashes with Rapture due to Rapture wanting the character object to exist in one place. Much of Dreamweaving is about having your body in one place, but your consciousness in another. This creates issues.

The clear solution is to make Psionics and Runes widely available amidst the melder classes instead of Runes and Dreamweaving and they could just tweak Dreamweaving into something else! Tada~
