Report 419, size, summoning resistances or lack thereof, movement resistance or lack thereof, shrines and shrine powers, tracking and traps.

Do these qualify as bugs?

Edit: Monks...

Hey Everiine, don't look now but you have four choices in one skill and three in another, making a total of twelve variations in your guild. We have two. You're the last person in the world who should be asking for more options.

Totally irrelevant, I'm practicing my trolling tongue.gif . I'm not very good at it...

Let's not forget about the impale bugs, either.
Xavius2010-08-28 20:21:04
Or the occasional impossibility of self-defense thanks to Avechna.

If the bugs option wins (and it looks like it's going to), could you maybe consider doing the runner up if you get through the bugs backlog?

I really wish tae'dae would get a bit of attention. smile.gif

Lol, they're bugs about as much as balancestacking, disruptwhoring, absurdly high command cancellation, riskless chainyanking and meld/room damage move stacking too!

Anyway, bring on the guild rebalancing (and bugs).

After that though, go races.

I love how, before this poll, the forum vomit would indicate that racial rebalance is the way to go.

One announcement to the actual playerbase and one poll later, it's the trailing option.

The same thing happened with the forging change. It wasn't really something that seemed on the table- one announcement to the game and one poll later, and its what the population picked to look at.

Just goes to show you that the forumistocracy is, all else being equal, probably full of crap.

See G.K. Chesterton sig quote.

Just as an aside, bug focus does not include monk 'balance' or guild 'balance' (both of which are kind of nebulous statements).

I suppose this also means no extra Envoy slots for this month as well (which was never implied... just had my fingers crossed). Suppose that I could go back on my vote to select tradeskills, but I'll stick to my original vote.

If it did, monk envoys could give tweaks to skills that shouldn't be too hard to implement. It wouldn't be the monk balance that everyone wants, but ensuring momentum penalties on most/all regen cures (and some salve) and placing in-form requirements would be a step in the right direction, and save MONTHS of envoy slots.

The traditional way of doing it is that they have another poll at some point.

Does adding no new stuff mean you won't even look at adding all the considered suggestions in Ideas for Powers this month, or that you'll add them all in the next few days? pray.gif

Druid revamp.

Specifically on the combat aspect. Druids are unfun and boring to play.

More specifically: I would like to be able to do more than 5 commands as a druid outside of a demesne. While, ecology has the possibility of being the druid psionics, psionics has no power costs at all other than the instant kills and active dominate commands. On the contrary, ecology has almost everything as a power skill, with shruggable, limited poison afflictions and nothing actually able to achieve a damage, conditional, or timed kill in the entire skillset.

Druids are fine. Besides, it seems like the Blacktalon have all the best griefers now, so there has to be some attraction there...

... they do? Like who?

Pretty much everyone has left BT, except Alacardael who just switched to it and will leave soon. Narynth, Nienla, Crek are the only ones who really stick with it (in a general-combatants sense). Only one of them can be considered a 'griefer' really.
Xavius2010-08-29 21:14:01
Druids being effective in their demesnes doesn't really preclude the class from being terribly designed.
Unknown2010-08-29 21:48:52
voted bugs, but a druid revamp would be neato
Unknown2010-08-29 21:49:19
Nienla, Krellan, and Alacardael are the griefers I had in mind, though they might be druids just for the broken Dreamweaving now.

Either way, this isn't really the thread for such suggestions.

Krellan hasn't been Blacktalon for ages. Many months. Alacardael has been it for 7 days. tongue.gif
