Rune of deeper connection - Negates some of the drawbacks of order affinity, for example the halving of essence given by offerings.

Yes, please! Though I'd hope it wouldn't be terribly expensive. Most of my artifacts and planned artifacts so far are order artifacts. All my credits are belong to Hoaracle <.<;;

Oruoru - Beast reagent, completely resets a beast, level 1, back to adolescence, nothing trained and has not been fed. Essentially as though it had just been hatched/finished incubating.

This occurs to me only because of Lilian, who seems to like raising beasts to see what she gets but doesn't quite trust Zimoru as she wants to know exactly what it was that has effected the end outcome.

You know we're not doing anything to negate affinity, sorry. :(

So what you are saying is that the gods should have a mass war where the winner becomes the patron of every org?



I know it probably will never happen but:

Endowment of the Guilds - Allows for a second guild tertiary, doesn't stack with others.

I love to have Shamanism and runes at the same time >.>

Sure. Biggest realm wins.

I say the craziest pair of followers wins. I'll team with Jack and we'll work for the highest bidder.

This would make me drop money on here so fast it is not funny I had a hard time picking between dreamweaving and Runes and Shamanism. Having two of three would make me happy.

I can't see any balance issues stemming from being able to use two tertiaries simultaneously. None at all.

Not sure if that was sarcasm but there are probably a few. I am just to new and dumb to figure out what they could be.

Ytran forgot to use the sarcasm tags.

I know, but I can dream. And I can pester.

And all I want is to not have the essence given from influencing order mobs to not be cut in half T.T

That would be nice, yeah. Doesn't eliminate drain, but makes your offerings count closer to the normal amount.

Artifact that gives a 10% bonus to offering if you are in an Order attuned to your org, or makes your offerings worth 90% of the usual value if you are in an order not attuned to your org. Still greatly beneficial to be in an Order allied with your organization over not, and doesn't negate the drain at all.

Hm!

I'm all for this. The biggest problem with affinity (in my opinion) isn't the essence drain, it's the fact that offerings are nerfed to the point where if you're not constantly busting your ass at a higher rank, you're pretty much guaranteed to fall behind. Keeping the drain but allowing another boost to offerings (tattoos are good, but just don't cut it/might be skipped over for practical DMP buffs) would be fantastic.

Except the point is to make it so that if you're at a higher rank, you're pretty much guaranteed to fall behind. It's intended to make maintaining non-affiliated individuals in high ranked positions quite undesirable and costly.

I'll back out though, don't want this exploding into another Affinity gripe.

I'm fine with the concept, I just think it's a little...bit much.

That's all.

The problem is that that sentiment is one of the kinder expressions for affinity given by the playerbase. Usually Affinity causes a ton more bitterness, wrath and rage.

I'd actually be tempted to pick up TK if the admin were on enough drugs to allow that.

And I would immediately switch to Wiccan and take up both Healing and Hexes. :P

Yes, then you'd not use faecloak and be the doom paragraph.
