Re: Mage v Knight Balance, Revisited

Being an outed mage has put me in a fun position - I've had numerous new players approach me OOC for advice on "Okay what? Element? Moon? Astral Avatar? Rituals?? What does any of this mean??!" Which I was thrilled to be able to assist with. This is literally the core reason for the discussion on b...

Re: Mage v Knight Balance, Revisited

There are other reasons for the dearth of mage RP of late and I hope to see them discussed as well. I'll start here. First we'd have to identify what we mean by 'mage RP' ... there are at any given time I think a healthy portion of the playerbase that is indeed, mages. Depending on activity waxing ...

Re: Mage v Knight Balance, Revisited

I feel admit that during a time we seem to be looking to revitalize things and get numbers higher, etc, a lot of feedback that seems to hint at "established players bad" whether or not that's the intention I find overall not conducive to at the least my personal morale. That said, I'll propose one t...

Re: Mage v Knight Balance, Revisited

EDIT: I also have a bit of a peeve with wax. It's a necessary tool for Knights and Inquisitors, but the fact that it's a near-permanent object that can be handed out to anyone and the small size of the pbase means like 80% of noteworthy targets are difficult to impossible for a mage to touch. Havin...

Re: Universal IC Turnaround Expectations

While I agree with a general concept, I feel that a bit too quickly community standards particularly those noted in helpfiles become things people expect staff to enforce on others as policy even if that is against the expressed intent here. And/or people who don't follow them get labeled as 'bad RP...

Re: Bandages Recipe

While this might not change a need for a dedicated recipe for Medicine folks, as an FYI/workaround in the meantime the following is functional. Name : (1649) Patchworked Cloth - Tailoring (Rank 5) Utilizes: 3x a scrap of colored cloth snipped clean of any fraying edges. And produces: an even, patchw...

Re: In what circumstances should you deny a PC (cyan or otherwise) entry into a guild?

Consider, for a moment, a training session. Let's say you are training a brand new cyan, who had 36 in their guildskill. Unless you have VERY high teach (which most people don't since most people don't learn slot it), it'll take you at least an hour to two hours to get that newbie's pool to more th...

Re: Inactive in RP

I definitely think that fixing the ticker about why RPXP gain is what it is would help. I admit that I myself have been far less apt to do certain things (hemote/think) since it disappeared. And I think the experiment of "would bonuses for timeliness being an incentive" wasn't given a fair testing b...

Re: Unwelcoming Game

In my experience a lot of MU* that have more "set pose" and other conventions like that tend to use a very different codebase and have very different expectations. Like the idea of posting all logs to a wiki so that RP is manually calculated by staff. And that scenes are largely set up OOC rather th...
