At least you didn't have to swallow your pride for 5 minutes in order to get in... and I am still not in yet cause it has taken so long that the Divine Intervention left.. Someone better <3 me for what I went through.

Just a note, but I was informed the insanity in Paradigmatics isn't astral insanity, but rather a new affliction. Should probably start referring to astral insanity as neurosis now.


If that's the case, my concerns are gone. Now's it's just a matter of tweaking everything up or down as needed. I like.


QUOTE (Estarra @ Apr 4 2010, 01:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
No, it never causes real insanity. However, it does 'stack' with real insanity. Thus, if you are neurotic due to astral bashing, becoming massively temporarily insane will drive up your neurosis. In other words, there's only one level of insanity which is made up of true insanity (astral bashing) + temporary insanity. Hope that makes sense!


Nevermind. I'm concerned again.

Nice new guilds. suspicious.gif

To make new alts or to just move one over ....

I'm really unimpressed with Aeonics in general. Unless some of those skills have really short eqs (don't have the skillset myself), tanky warrior with aeon is better filled by Moon.

Paradigmatics, on the other hand, makes me wonder if the Havens could use a private server and a handful of paid playtesters before releasing things that most of us can glance at and call OP. sad.gif

Even assuming that warriors don't use the temporary insanity effects (and they probably won't, once the newness wears off, but the browbeating is making me worry about the Illuminati already), they get a lust-based mud clone, carcer++, good damage soaks, and heavy stat adjustments. Squishy targets with trouble running away. What more could a griefy warrior ask for? I haven't been hit with Butterfly myself, but some pretty crazy OP things are coming out of that chute for other people, and it has real potential as a great opening move.

Sorry, Hallifax. Estarra just hates you.

Oh well, seems I was too late. No biggie, I can wait until they open the guilds to everyone.


Oh, forgot to ask if the temporary insanity curable, or is time the only cure like normal insanity? If time is the only cure, is the period the temporary insanity is in effect significantly shorter than the cure times for normal insanity?
Esano2010-04-04 23:29:48
Temporary insanity is curable by pennyroyal and focus mind, and timewarp by horehound and focus mind.

<3 whatcures and whatiscuredby, btw.

I think it's nice to have a cheapish warrior guild where you still have a fighting chance even if you have to roll the dice and hope for a lucky maggot.

I wonder how many macros warriors have to memorize. ~9 for swings, ~9 for strikes/jabs, ~9 for maneuvers, ~9 for aeonics, ~9 for cleaving, ~9 for sweeping, and a couple dozen more for things like walking, sprinting, leaping, parrying... MACRO MADNESS!!

The point pretty much, if not everyone should have some form of death mitigation then why is it that this was not decided until 4 of now 6 orgs have such abilities.

Though this may be premature, there could be some reason for them being in the guardian specs though this seems unlikely.

A rezz/revive skill shouldn't be stuck in the Cosmic specc. All other orgs have it available in the Totem/Ritual specc.

And really, all orgs should have them. Why? Because immolation costs 100 power. Too much to make people want to immolate. Rezz skills and revival skills are a way to have people help each other out, especially in combat or if you fall on an aetherbubble. It's also an example of useful utility that everyone is happy to have.
Rika2010-04-05 00:10:54
So, Geb just tested timewarp on tumble.

He had 6.7s balance recovery without timewarp and 7s balance recovery with massively timewarped. That's seems pretty pathetic...

Every organization has the ability to raise the Harmony construct - Hallifax and Gaudiguch included.

Can we get a separate line for attacks which increase your timewarp/insanity level?

Right now, it's like this:

QUOTE
Eyes flashing with rainbow colours, Akui stares intently at you. Strange
thoughts and perceptions challenge your grip on reality. When you finally pull
yourself away from Akui's gaze, you find yourself twitching and drooling.

Your mind reels as it suffers from a slight case of temporary insanity.


Of course the sentence changes as your insanity/warp level goes up.

This already exists for burn levels (I think I even asked for it then too, at least something like that), so it shouldn't be hard to add.

Every organization, except hallifax and gaudiguch, has abilities that give them the choice to not raise the harmony construct?

Every organization, except hallifax and gaudiguch, has constructs that are preferred to the harmony construct?

It's really weird to see an argument against the death avoidy skills where you bring constructs up, considering moon altar/magnagorathingy and that halli/gaudi have yet to receive a org specific construct. Harmony construct might be an answer, for now, what happens when they have other options that are more important?

I'm not sure if it actually does that, but why make it so you have to use config affmessages? Just adding a line for whenever your level increases will do.

At what level? At level 1, it should be pathetic. Maybe even less than that. Insanity is certainly utterly negligible at level 1.


Massively timewarped is, if I'm not mistaken, the level required to simply instakill them.

I totally didn't read "massively" at all. Still, the same thing I said about pyros/aeros, and the same thing I said when people were like "ohes noes, hallispec is aeon hell and ours is meh".

Give it some time before we break out the pitchforks.

But whining and complainin' is so much fun.

Also, now we have two months to start envoying utility stuff into Aeonics and Paradigmatics.

Rebump for great justice.
