  • I was going to hazard a guess at 'Raksha Bands being changed', actually. This isn't in their defense, but I know that their high cost makes any changes of them a very volatile subject.
  • I'm not sold on the idea of sect champions being 'always no, always 150% no'. You never really bring up anything besides 'one v one is terrible'. You have no invested interest in it, that's fine. I do. Others do. I even make the compromise of a smal…
  • (Quote) Which part isn't kosher? I'm curious.
  • I know this is going to sound sort of skipping-recordish.. but if you go through with any sect conflict system, can we maybe beta it briefly to work out the kinks? Then we can stress test it and see what does and doesn't work, so to speak.
  • See: Church of AM, Church of Magick, Church of Demonic syndrome. If one sect gets too big, people will forsake RP for the mechanical benefits inherent in a bigger sect.

    I don't think it is off topic, but I'll let Bathan or somebody else open a thread with their own thoughts on it. I think it is mostly that the narrative of Imperian makes no room for entities. There's no story explana…

    I just dislike the setup of today's scene, where everything is a 'team effort'. I know you will say that one on one never existed, and honestly, we can come to agree that really…

    No, he means that they have no agency in the actual storyline of Imperian. They aren't allowed to do anything cool against one another in a roleplay situation because none of the sects want to c…
  • I don't know how much fun I would have maintaining a grid of 'shrines'. It seems like it will just be another system where numbers would trump strategy, which means that smaller sects or cults will get demolished by tremendous ones. It also really f…

    I'm fine with that outcome because we already have an all inclusive combat system: shardfalls. Why shouldn't we have one that has some level if exclusivity too? This is the perfect, low key place to include somet…
  • Hey Jeremy,

    Any thought to the part about assassin classes like Predator and Assassin having an innate resilience to this system? I was rather attached to the idea when Ahkan presented it.

    Also, I would like to see the infiltr…
  • Lusternia's history is only interesting until it tries to ICly handwave the existence of city and commune channels. Oh, the Vernal Wars history implying that your mortal character is a puppet of a force just beyond their perception was kind of a lam…

  • It is funny how 1v1 isn't relevant to some people until it can be brought up as a reason why others are wrong. My defense of Hands and etc has nothing to do with superiority and everything to do with my hatred of spamfests that large scal…

    I don't believe they need a cooldown, because if somebody is turtling with hands, you should have the sense to change targets and kill others instead. I see no reason why I'm not allowed to turt…
  • What ever happened to that meeting or whatever, anyways?
  • I'm sorry I have a job, Ahkan. I'm so, so sorry.

  • I've been trying to make the Wardancers eat the Dunestriders for ages, or maybe get the Crusaders to do it. :(
  • I preferred the old forums, before the home website one.
  • I thought I was the only one seeing that.
  • MFDoom and Madvillain in general have been showing up a lot on my playlists.
  • (Quote) With setup, maybe. Even Mages and Summoners do less without setup. Disembowels do less without setup. Please name one ability that does more damage than that, frontloaded, basically no setup involved.

  • (Quote) God, I feel sad now. They turned their servers off yesterday. :(
  • (Quote) I'm going to quote this and you are going to read it, maybe two or three times, until you realize how little sense that makes from a balance perspective.

    "Sure, this one ability hurts.. but you know what hur…

  • (Quote) Ahkan wants guards to go away in exchange for an all-encompassing overlord invisible gang of archers and telepaths/mages/summoners/ritualists/whateverflavorofsupernatural. They would be unkillable, would have the full suite of r…
  • The problem is that the mechanics that exist are, for lack of better words, shitty and ill-equipped to be shaped in to something worth using. Why force a square peg through a round hole?
  • (Quote) That makes sense, actually. I guess you could expand all the guards to have different roles, but that doesn't really answer the question how bashable they are - oh also, how much they cost. If they cost too much, you run in to a…
