Barely even six pages from what I see. Clearly, someone needs to adjust his forum settings.

Ah right, before I forget.
If you are looking to balance some powers (DIVINEFIRE), another way to consider would be to make them only available as supernumerary, and not ephemeral.

Was aegis really that powerful that it's 50 weight? Unless I am mistaken, both people need to be in the same area. So, team bashing (with an ascendant) or two people in a fight, either outnumbering one person or on even ground with multiple. Doesn't it kill both if the aegis giver dies? And I was under the impression that most kills involved a lock or instant kill.It's one of the abilities I would be most interested in having, should I somehow become an ascendant (any chance of it being available to demigods? no? damn.). Every time I see it I just think of putting it on a protegee, and then they worship me for feeling invincible
Anyways, I see a lot of divinefire hate. Switch their weights maybe? o.o

Aegis is local-area only. If the target is hit with an attack that would take them below 1 health, the entirety of that attack will then be checked against the caster's health. If the caster would not die, they take the damage. If they would, the target takes the damage (and dies). If either target or caster dies, the other takes a hefty hit to health, although this cannot kill you. It can, however, drop you to one health (leading to such situations as one person dying due to bleeding, the other being hit by the backlash, then dying to their own negligible bleed tick).

Pretty much all of the Ascendant stuff is over-valued as well (both in weight and in essence). We've just been focusing on the Demigod costs for now, because if we can get those in line, it's easier to tweak the other stuff to be more in line with that (in my opinion, at least; that, and Demigod abilities affect more of the playerbase).

** An important change was previously not in the announce - divinefire now no longer cures health/mana/ego. It will only block mob attacks. **
When someone gets a chance, mind posting up the new numbers for essence/weight?

Good news is that short of SecondTradeskill, you don't really NEED aetherbashing essence to get stuff right now.
Unknown2010-08-15 23:55:38
The new build essentially guarantees that you can get 3 stats, shrink OR expand, choicezap, choiceshout, custom look/enter/port, and have some free points left over as a demi, I believe, and it'll cost about 9 mil total to keep them all perm.
Also divinefire got the boot, yeehaw.
Much better, and good going

Looks like the essence costs were roughly halved, and the supernumerary costs stayed the same.

BeauteousThought was 80 points, now only 15. Awesome.
Thank You!!
Asmodea2010-08-16 00:33:21
Just a quick thought, would it be possible to add into STAT or somewhere, about which custom text/look/teleport you currently have selected. Unless there is and I have just missed it.

I am hoping that custom zaps are twice as powerful as choice zaps and custom shouts instakill everyone who has shouts on to explain the reasoning behind them costing double the weight points. I mean, I was under the impression the weighting was to prevent OP builds not to encourage people to use the premade stuff so the admins didn't need to spend 5 minutes reading 3 lines and clicking yes or no on approval.

Planning. I also tossed up the rest of Veneration that Lorina has too.
Nariah2010-08-16 00:40:55
Veneration is still 75 million.
Other than that, great changes! Go go divinefire nerf!
Oh, also, an option to turn off entry/leave messages would be awesome. By setting them to 0 perhaps.
