  • I am sort of just slowly digging through stuff alone right now (with tells off, mostly, because I am a chatterbox otherwise, and I get absolutely nothing done otherwise). I actually have a lot of more "basic" housekeeping to do. For example, just …
  • We've got to try something that isn't totally vanilla and safe and our peas never touch our carrots because oh god that would be the END. And I say that with all of the trust that Imperian is not going to become this horrible game where people get …
  • When someone says something like

    "I dabble with blah completely manual, and do just fine at the blah.

    You don't NEED systems to do stuff for you, you just need the experience and motivation to make it work".

    I am li…
  • Sometimes it's really, really important to try to get back quickly. I don't mind if a leader is basically bouncing up and down for his team to reassemble so we can try plan C (whatever that might be), and I will scurry as best I can. But that is b…
  • Iluv had suggested shardfalls dropping (some number of? occasionally?) L1 artifacts instead of the special shards. That's probably a good idea. At the very least, could do that in addition to the special shards.

    I mostly won't make mys…
  • I mean, I think there has to be some kind of "surprises happen at least once in a great while" element. Personally, I am sort of undecided on exactly where that line should be (I wouldn't say I don't care), but I can tell you that the counterargume…
  • Oh they do the illegal stuff too, from time to time - the line there is pretty much "it's one death" and sure, people can be real dicks about it. No one likes it once it's pretty clear the other side is actually TRYING to be dicks, and it definitel…
  • When I go to take a mono, I often start by taking 1 teammate (because I am not a 1 v. 1 hero, but I don't want to immediately escalate to a huge team, either). Who that teammate is depends on who I think might come out. If I am AM, unless I expect…
  • What do you mean by "favour" there? Like, high favour or org favours? I think it's dangerous to say "show up for x shardfalls, get org favour" - I saw that happen in Aetolia and the result was far, far too many people showing up for the enemy to e…
  • Ah, cool. I didn't know that. But yeah, I think the poof time needs to be shorter (at least for now). 1 hour might actually work best (better than 1.5 hours), but if they make it that short, I think that in the case of actual shardfalls (not sing…
  • Would like to try the following if possible:

    1) Put a timecap on harvesting shards. If they're not harvested in an hour and half (something like that) after they fell, they just poof.

    2) We need something to enforce 2-circle …
  • Actually, going to put this in the shard thread.

  • There's actually a LOT of tension, and maybe even a bit of hatred between the circles, or there is between demonic and AM, but most of the people who actually made fights happen are gone. I don't think a lack of tension is actually the problem thou…
  • The Mudlet guys sound like they are going to fix the https thing pretty quick I think. "Before the next snapshot" in Vadi's latest post (I don't know when that will be, but I bet it might be reasonably "soon"). They were super responsive.
  • So far, my profile works fine on 3.0. I literally just popped it in the "current" folder and loaded it up. I am leery of any pitfalls. Are there any that people have come across? I know about stuff like audio files not working but I just mean, d…
  • Just wait until the shade gets a hold of the maps. It will be httpssssssssssssssssssssss >.>
  • Good news. A dude found the problem in the backend of the mapper, and it seems pretty straightforward (even to me). But the Mudlet guys still have to decide it's worth fixing. If they do, it means there will be nice clean new maps for us all day …
  • Maybe @Mathiaus and @Dicene could try downloading the map.xml on clean installs…
  • I downloaded a clean copy of 3.0 as well (first post). That didn't work either. Any of the times I tried it :/
  • @Ultrix - yeah, check out my crazy list of "things tried with exacting precision"
  • I have never been able to get the manual mapper to work for me. Even with the step by step instructions. There is just something about the way that coders write instructions. I am SUPER careful about following instructions, and making sure I unde…
  • I am now wondering why I said dbt. At one point in all of this, I think some of the files had a dbt extension rather than a dat extension now that I think about it, which could maybe be unsettling... Still, none of that touched my old comp, and it …
  • Actually. It might not just be me and my upgrade. I thought I'd at least get myself a new map by using an old profile on an older comp that is still Windows 8.1. I used the old faithful tactic of "go to profile, delete map.xml, delete "map" folde…
  • I have a very serious mapper problem. Mudlet had been working fine on Windows 10, until I installed the most recent updates - even with clean mudlet installs. I tried both 2.1 and 3.0, and manually deleted all extra files, including the .config fo…
  • (was only relevant as response to above, and still time left to edit!)
  • Maybe let players get the chance to make over (some) spaces every once in awhile, but not to create new rooms that are a permanent part of the game. One of the things I love about Imperian is the relatively compact map (for several reasons, conveni…
  • Maybe. I think everyone has their nightmares about a certain class (from that other circle, with all of the OP stuff, ofc). That's why I really, really hope that ALL of the professions become non-circle bound eventually.

  • Dyron's a super nice dude, but I saw how fast he picked up Outrider. I wouldn't 1 v. 1 him (especially someone like him) other than "Welp, maybe I could learn something and I might fight you (once or twice) again in 6 months" (sorry Dyron). If he …
