Two things...

1) Reduce Vernal weight to 75, double demi is kinda... irksome

2) Make an arty that either comes in levels, or is like old clanslots worth +5 each, either way cap the increase at 25 weight.

I would say lets reduce ascendants and change weights a little but lets see how those turn out (vernals are just demi+).

Also can we change the weight for shrink/expand or make them free please? They really arent worth it as it is.

Hi, still waiting to hear how any power debts are going to be handled. 10k per day? 50, 100? Everything we have, and then all positive gains until it is repaid? I realize maybe you're not answering because you haven't decided, but uh, since the clock is ticking on this 1 week to strip VAs for a refund thing, could you maybe make that call and let us know now-ish? Sorry to ask again, but I think it pertains to at least 3 orgs.


We'll let you know as soon as we're ready to let you know. If it ends up thursday or friday and we still haven't, I think it's a safe bet we'll move the timeline a bit to be more amicable for all involved.

If anything, I would suggest either:

1. Package Shrink/Expand together, instead of being separate.

2. Make your shrunken/expanded size persistent, even after you lose access to shrink/expand. Even if you race change, your size will stay the same as you set it at, and you won't be able to change it effectively again without rebuying shrink/expand.

At least two ascendants actually think you made ascendants stronger than before, you only reduced demi strength.

Make the weights 50/75/100 and we should be good.

I don't know how making it so an ascendant can't have fear aura, aegis, destruction, affinity, zap, divinefire and refresh is a buff.

Whatever it is, though, I want that kool-aide!

And as we've said, we'll look at the weights once things've settled.

It might partially be from the effect that demigods look so much smaller than they did before. It's not necessarily that they are decisively more powerful than they were originally, but that the power gap between ascendants and everyone else just became that much greater.

Either way, that point has already been hammered enough.

+1 stats and regen.

Titans feel like they could use a different name now that they lack expand. unsure.gif

The same as everyone else but you use 99 instead of whatever level anyone else is when calculating your h/m/e.

A number? Unless I'm missing something.

Not that it's likely to happen often, but is it possible to go back to the default look/enter/exit/teleport messages if you've supernumerated them?

EDIT: Thanks for posting the enter/exit messages! wub.gif Are there ways of accessing the look/teleport ones too?
Ytran2010-08-10 04:42:38
This would be nice if the numbers Shuyin posited in his ideas thread were used (for points, at least. I have no real cognizance of various essence values). The idea behind this is sound, but demigods are fairly gimped now, as best as I can tell.

The Ascendancy/Domoth abilities look really cool, too. Too bad the only new Ascendants that'll ever really be seen are from the once-per-RL-year Ascendance events, and maybe two each from Hallifax/Gaudiguch over a couple RL years (assuming neither has one already, which I think they don't).

You credit a number of skills with little actual regard.

Most kills are instas, refresh does not help that. They can still buy every other skill you listed I believe with 150 weight though I have not checked. Zap is negligible. And I am fairly sure most people who feel the need will buy divinefire again, while I think refresh is unlikely to be as used (and zap will be temp only I think, which looks like the intent.. lol @ 30 weight).

Aegis doesnt make ascendants any stronger by the way, just makes others tankier. So thats optional for the ascendant depending on if others need their tanky more.

EDIT: Also, divinefire was not changed, so you didnt change much, those who want it will still have it.

I made a thread on ideas discussing adjustments to actual numbers in the new stuff. Please take a look and comment!

I feel this thread should just be used for questions about vernal stripping, specific powers, and complaints about ragequitting lusternia or whatever else.


I even made a sweet link to it.
Xavius2010-08-10 05:00:12
Can I pre-emptively request that divinefire's weight be increased to 51 or higher? All these poor demis don't seem to realize what they're missing with all those other new toys, and you should help make their choices a little bit easier. It's always good to help.

Can one of the divine here list the custom shout/zap/teleport messages? We've seen the entry/exit ones already, but curious minds want to know more.
Esano2010-08-10 05:02:31
Fearaura, aegis and destruction are 50 each, so no, we can't buy more than those.

This, please. I'd rather not have to buy something to see what it looks like just to make a decision. Don't forget the custom look too!
