  • (Quote) This isn't something that I'm unwilling to push to change, but my point is that there isn't a clear winner on what to change it to.  

  • It does appear possible to create a network of completely undefileable shrines.  I can't say that this was what I had in mind originally, but we are still considering what, if anything, to do about it.  Possible options include:
    1. Do nothi…
  • (Quote) Not sure of how that relates to same-sex marriage, but that would not be a simple change.

    No, you may sacrifice in any room.  It wouldn't make sense for people w/o a portable altar to require people to be in a shrine room.

  • (Quote) I've shortened the time a bit, and randomized it some more.  It's meant to be noticeable though, so I don't think it's going to be as short as you want.  
  • There are benefits to building shrines in each area, which is why an area such as Demon's Pass has been sought after.  But Demon's pass is hardly the only bashing area. 

    But even in Demon's Pass you can build shrines that cannot…

  • So as to not to misappropriate the I Hate thread, I'm putting here a response to @Septus and a few others about shrines.

    I do plan to remove th…

  • The faith gain on killing ranges from 10% to 350% of the previous values.  It's no longer a constant.  There's also the faith gain on XP gain as you mention, as well as no faith loss on deaths.  Get favours and kill at shrines if you want higher pvp…

  • I don't think they render places like demons pass unusable as a bashing area, but the sect with the shrines would have a strong advantage.  But the point is to reward those that can and do maintain a system of shrines.  For nullification, the time i…

  • Ok, so here are some more detailed thoughts for comment:

    1. I'm a bit worried about letting people move relics, especially with some of the changes that I'll discuss below.  There would need to be a significant cost associa…

  • A few thoughts for discussion:

    1. What would be the best way to get the "good" relics? Drops are currently weighted random, so they appear sometimes.  Would you buy relics? For how much?  Combine a few into a new mystery re…

  • So now that it seems that people are using shrines a bit more with the changes to the shrine fights, I'd like to look a bit more closely at relics.  To that end, can people let me know (either in game or here) what they see as the biggest problems w…

  • In case you've missed the announce posts, the shrine, belief, and sect changes discussed above (including those mentioned by Ultrix) have been implemented. We'll be working on the amount of belief gained through the XP mechanism, and potentially twe…

  • I've included below some ideas that we've been passing around with regard to belief gains and shrine battles.  These are just ideas at this stage, and we're really interested in your feedback to help separate the good ideas from the bad.  Once we ge…

  • Thank you to everyone that participated, I learned a lot of helpful things.  Here are some things that have been fixed:

    • Defenses should be kept (really lost, then gained back) when you start.
    • Your original defens…

  • (Quote) For now it will be pretty much a wish list of every artifact you can use in the arena. You will not get class specific artifacts that do not work for your current class. So only priests will get the mace, only bards will get the…

  • (Quote) This is different. You'll still be able to use the arena in the typical fashion.

  • I love that Elokia's avatar has a mustache with horns. For some reason, it makes me imagine her having a top hat and a monocle that she wears with her dapper mustache.
    in I HEART Comment by Dec May 2015
  • I looked at the numbers right now.  The sect with by far the most shrines is Leechwood, but even they have not maxed out all of the PvE benefits for any area.  There are meant to be certain benefits that are easier to obtain, but max out faster, and…
  • (Quote) The bonuses for PvE have not changed since inception.  If you want more PvE bonuses, or if you want PvE relics, then I would recommend suggesting some mechanics.  I'm generally not opposed to things that encourage people to invest more int…
  • @Selthis -- I'll just point out that in the hands of active players alone, there is more than 50k obsidian in circulation.  This doesn't even include org reserves,…
  • (Quote) It is the shrine with the highest percent.  So if you have three shrines with one citadel relic each, it's still only 50%.

  • (Quote) Is there something other than bashing that people want to use to gain belief?  You can already exchange gold and player corpses for belief, and you get belief for killing a rival sect member.  Some people hate bashing, some people like it,…
