Re: Feedback for Tinkerers

Given that the final tally of the Blodfest/Master of the Blade event is a tie at 4-4 I’m defaulting this as a win to the Dark Side because the location as well as the Light Side groups that have been active should have made this an overwhelming snowball experience. This will have in-game consequenc...

Re: Transferring Gear Mobol

Is the problem any easier if gear can be lost on crash/reboot? That's still a thing with transferring gear now, so it might be fine to keep in a mobol solution if the other things can be worked out.

Re: Not Rank 8 Zone sense

It's also just...not true? Smobbers have to stop and kill smobs, which takes time. The group tracking them, particularly if they have a fade or DL for refreshes, can just track them until they find them. Gate throws a wrench in this because it leaves zero tracks and can go anywhere in a large radius...

Re: Fading requirements suggestion

As a general rule, systems that rely on a certain population existing or not existing are not good ones - population and clan activity fluctuates over time much more rapidly than the systems do. The current system slows down dramatically if 1) many remorts are active or 2) several trolls are all pus...

Re: Mounted bash bonus should be mood based.

When I last did these calcs, trolls had worse bash until they hit 21 str, and then were comparable to a mounted human (implying that access to teas is effectively a balance lever). Happy for anyone to check my math on that though.

Re: Liason Quest

There was a change a while back to make these quests award only 1 qp unless you were declared an ally at the barracks. Honestly the gambler quests are a little bit of a relic at this point I guess.

Re: Shops - an incomplete idea - giving them purpose?

Eh - it's a cool RP idea, but since it would probably come with a reduction in current shop stock, I think it'll be a problem longer-term. We can only really sustain a few particularly active clans at a time, so eventually we'll hit the same problem as we currently have with LMH and affable brokers ...

Re: Advice Please

Lisette and Iria's advice is spot on. If this fight had involved two trolls you'd probably be out of sps from using HoA so much when you didn't need to. My other question - what DB/kit were you running? While he could have been zerk at the nochan, he landed a lot more bashes (and unbashed hits) than...

Re: Shops - an incomplete idea - giving them purpose?

Thinking about the stuff I buy from shops or would like to, they probably fall into three categories: 1) Lugard Market Hall - mostly weapons or trinks, almost never armor (highly dependent on KMG and Wisdom activity) 2) Potions/herbs from herbalists 3) General basics after a re-eq (iron rations, lan...

Re: Darkfriend Woes

Good to see you again, Vannor. Guess the last two times you quit didn't mean much?

It's a good point though. I pked my way up, while you cheated to get through the system quickly.

Glass houses and all.
