Xenthos:

Yeah, what other org construct benefit would anyone be willing to pay 1000 credits for? :P

Please balance org constructs through something other than rampant "deny bubbles to the enemy"!

I'd want to fuse my two org constructs into one permanent one, with unlimited effects, and not ablaze on the sip phial effect.

It's sad when it takes combining two organization constructs together and removing the limitations / side effects in order to make it as appealing as one construct from another org. :(

Nerfing the spike was brought up and rejected.

If you want another bite at that apple you could always present actual data of people using it in combat......
Llandros2012-07-03 14:09:14
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if that construct was the reason Caco's got stuck with ironchord

Rejected... "at this time."

Doesn't mean it always will be, especially when people are posting about how they're willing to pay a thousand credits for the thing. They've re-examined any number of things later on after saying 'not at this time' and fixed 'em.

PS: Being willing to pay a thousand credits for a Construct benefit is a pretty good indication all on its own. ;)

Present them with actual data from it's use in combat and I'm sure they will take it into consideration.

The credits have more to do me trying to save what hair i have left from trying to herd cats into aetherspace. That alone is priceless.

+1 sip bonus and plague aff on point and like 5dmp. Very rarely would a random plague aff be worth spending eq on with all the other things i could use instead. The roomwide knockdown is hardly worth mentioning.

It would certainly be more helpful than some but will hardly make me untouchable while I ran around melting faces.

But I've derailed this thread enough, so I'll leave it at that.

We won't be giving any construct powers as an artifact.

If you want that benefit without aetherbubbles, you get one free construct slot on your nexus world. Choose wisely, my son.

Contort artifact. I'd pay sooo much for it.

I am very likely the only one and I don't actually expect to see it, but I would love to have something like the bubble of gender switching that would make the user genderless - i.e., "wields a jakari in its hands," etc.

A rune that would create a clone of a keg. Whatever you put in the real keg would also show up in its clones, and whenever a cloned keg was drained from, the real keg would lose the fills. The clones would decay with the real keg (so cloning a runed keg would create permanent copies). There should probably also be a self-destruct command to reduce the clone into a rune again, ready to be used to create another clone.

From what I know, this isn't really possible. Every person (even mobs!) in the game needs to be set as either male or female.

Zvoltz has commented that it's not really possible - while I won't say it's not possible (genderless items use 'its'), it is probably difficult - and fairly offensive. I'm not really going to engage in the whys and such, however referring to people of indeterminate gender as 'it' is considered extremely degrading. Furniture and property are generally 'it's, not people. There's a whole slew of manners in which people refer to the indeterminate (he/she, zhe, etc etc), but I've yet to meet someone who self-identifies as an 'it'.

I don't suppose this option could be worked in as an option for pets or something, though? I always intended for Tempus to be genderless...

Yeah, I don't think system writers will be super excited to go back and edit thousands of triggers for this.
Unknown2012-07-12 07:37:46
See, this is why I love Filipino. Go go gender-neutral pronouns 'siya' (he/she), and 'kanya' (him/her/his/hers), etc. :D
Xiel2012-07-21 22:33:47
I want a portable table or a picnic blanket that would let me perform a herofete or teaceremony with the lower amount of people needed for the skills like Artisan large tables currently do.

Convenience is nice when it means I don't have to drag 5 people to a select room all the time.

A tiny statue of Avechna. Allows the holder to do KARMA BLESSING from anywhere.
Riluna2012-08-09 04:25:21
Spore pouch, making mushroom spores stored inside it decay at a reduced rate. Or not at all, if you feel like being really awesome. SPORELIST still shows anything within (or allows SPORELIST for such spores for non-wiccans)
Anita2012-08-11 23:57:12
Quite sure it's been said before, or IDEA'd, but could we pretty pretty please have an artifact that makes/produces/gives HONEYCOMBS?

Those things are damn hard to get on a good day. If there was a manse arti, like the aether coop/field/bar/etc gems, I know a few people who would definitely snatch one up themselves!
