Ya I have never liked blessings and curses either, I feel like there could be better and more intuitive uses for karma.

I feel like the blessings are mostly okay. Curses need to probably be reviewed though. Keep in mind how very easy karma is to make though and the proportional reward one deserves from it.

I'd never die while bashing if 10% karma could be turned into a 20% health heal (unless DCed, I guess).

Divine fonts are quite happy to turn a small handful of corpses into ten karma while on the go.

Yeah, that would be crazy. The imperian system is pretty limited as to amount and the speed at which it regens, not to mention that to get a good health pool you have to increase your pk level.

Who dies while bashing anyway? :P

o Tweaked the sending of GMCP's Char.Vitals module to greatly reduce the
number of (generally) extraneous packets being sent. There should now be
a 1:1 correlation between prompts and Char.Vitals.
>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<
While I agree too many were sent before, would it be possible to tweak it to send Vitals on passive HME-changes (i.e. Beauty&co, Performance, CharismaticAura etc)?

That is exactly what was causing the problem. :P

Well, blast it :( I liked that part of it... Ah well.

I checked with other IRE games and they only send on prompt and score, so what we were doing seemed excessive (and probably took quite the toll on the game as a whole). Although I can appreciate the niceness of getting instant updates, I also question whether you really need them - if you're AFK, you don't really need to see that your stats are slowly replenishing; if you're in a fight, you'll be getting prompts to keep you up-to-date. I am sorry to take them away, but I think it's probably for the best in the grand scheme of things.

If you're AFK, you might want to see your stats decreasing though, to disable any passive drains you might've missed. And if the drain is severe enough, sip a vial or two.

I suppose that is a valid point. Fortunately Lusternia's serverside curing should be able to handle that - I would always recommend, at the very least, leaving the autosipper enabled with low thresholds (say 30%) in case of lag or disconnection. I'll admit that this is probably lost functionality for you, but there are a few workarounds you could employ without too much trouble.

Also, I'd much rather improve the game for those actively playing rather than for those who are AFK. :P

Good change. Thanks.

I have an iron membership and three characters... Winnae, a bard and a newbie alt with like 40 credits spent on him. Tentatively planning on taking the newbie to the Illuminati, some day. Having to log into each of these three characters every day in order to get my bonus lessons is really annoying :(

Any chance we can get our bonus lessons without logging in? My other two characters aren't even fully equipped and there is not a lot that I have going on with them so logging into them feels like a chore.

This isn't something that can be decided by Lusternia; you would have to take your complaint/suggestion to Jeremy (who is the president of IRE), and my gut feeling would be that it will not happen. Nonetheless, if you don't ask, you'll never know! He can be reached at jeremy (at) ironrealms (dot) com.

Ok, thank you! :)

The travel curios got me thinking about celerity/haste in terrain types/planes. Maybe a skill in planar or an addition to the various constructs that grants celerity/haste in the planes or terrain type native to the different orgs based upon being a member of the org. I suppose it could even be a city/commune rank thing.

From what I can see, only the head of a clan is able to write to a clan's logs. This is particularly bothersome to me in the case of Hallifax's government clan, as I'd like the logs to be utilized as a sort of updating message board for things that are just too small to warrant a full-fledged news post.

Could the invested clan power RECORDER also allow those in the invested position to write to the logs? I always assumed that's how it worked, but...it seems not!

I think it'd be neat if finishing the entire UV epic quest arc rewarded you with the appropriate UV bix, which is no longer purchasable. It'd be a nice gesture since it is otherwise retired, and fits in theme with some of the other epic quest rewards out there.

I would like this very, very much.
