Imperian is my favorite IRE game by miles, but undeniably in a slump right now. That said, Dimitri describes the newbie experience very well, and that is what drew me in to begin with. And then, things just kept getting better.

This stuff is just actually not worth discussing. Maybe worth discussing in general, but not worth US trying to discuss. Please delete all of my posts in this thread (including this one), and if someone wants, they can discuss Khizan's post. Ther…

Only asked to temp remove SHOUTS Senali. Would consider SAYS (for a shorter period, probably). Basically, "public" communication.
As for the shit talking, I mean, I sort of picked up on this as a newb, but we had whole conversations abo… -
I did think of one thing that might help with combatants feeling like their wins are sort of hollow. It's far from a comprehensive solution, but it might be able to address a complaint I have heard from nearly all strong combatants, not just the on…

Arties definitely important, but it really has to be skill + arties. If it were just arties I'd be set. At least I have friends that have both. But yeah, of course real risk sucks for the guys who are doing most of the losing, period. I mean, I …

I will if I think of any. I was mostly sort of curious what the admin point of view was on it.

Sorry
Hrm. Basically, players like me can enjoy perceived risk. It is awfully hard for us to enjoy -actual- risk because we are p… -
I don't know if there is any way to address this without driving away players like me, but for every step towards a game that is much, much more playable for people like me, there seems to be a guy who feels like this:

People are mad because if people are around but refuse to take part in the event, it has a big impact on the person who is trying to play (it basically stalls them out for a long period).EDIT: that's actually a partial fix. …Once this is all over, I hope admin post exactly what they were going for here. I sort of get it, and I think I like it partly, but I honestly do not totally get it. No, I am not being sarcastic. The part I do get is that I think they want us to …I get the impression that half the game, hell, even half the people in our own ring, are doing the same thing. They just don't have a message thing that actually says it... In a way, I'd rather that than nothing. I mean, what they should do is jus…Logged in. Instant regret. Had a soul settle with me immediately. I won't normally ignore people. In fact, the only person I have ever ignored was Ahkan. And it just feels wrong to cockblock people who are still playing in this thing, so I agre…^^I was considering trying to do exactly this if I still cared about the event (which I don't). I feel like it's effectively what is probably already happening anyway, since nearly all of the options are "kill Legion" and both demonic and magick ar…Is there any reason for people to not switch factions before/after attempting a deal (assuming they already released any souls they had of course)? I mean, will their contribution to the faction itself be zeroized?EDIT: the a…So the good news is that it looks like the tokens are beckonable artifacts. That means I can hand mine over for someone to verify that I work for who I say I do with no fear of losing it, and they can do the same (because we will both be able to ac…(Quote)Honestly, it was surprising to me, but I actually figured you consciously decided to leave them in (either way I am not up to speed on using them properly).(Quote) This actually makes me a bit sad, although I get that it does not mesh with what the intent seems to be here. I just think that as things stand... again, why should I trust the guy and what is my recourse?But hrm. The problem is. I don't have a good reason to trust most of the people I might trade with, and I also don't have a lot of recourse if they screw me over (or vice versa). I mean... I suppose if the event goes on long enough, people might …I would like to suggest that you implement a reputation system for this event... or... that is the best thing I can think of right now. This is totally a Prisoner's Dilemma thingy and my actual best option right now (unless I have a really good rea…Two suggestions here.I am actually going to (try) to make this first one. But lots of things that became extremely popular abilities or arties in all of the games are things that can be coded. Over the years, I think ev…tbh, the other half is I really want to play my not so little magicker again someday, but I signed her up for a magick circle that was trying to make something of itself, not this combined one

Maybe. But if we're going to roll with that, we really should start assuming that various combinations of the circles might eventually be working together well beyond impromptu pickup teams. It should become part of the classlead process.(Quote)We have two factions right now, in every way except actual game mechanics. We have demogick, and we have AM.(Quote)This doesn't make sense, even if it's been what has happened.First, there are (true, largely ineffectual) mechanical penalties, but the biggest indicator is just that when admin balances p…The entire mechanics of the game are based around the circles working against each other, though. It's also just way more interesting when that is the case.The event you're talking about was easily my least favorite event fo…Whoever you are, your biggest enemies should always be the other circles (both of them). I'd like to see things that push that forward. Every event should strive to drive a huge wedge between all three circles, basically.I do…Leave it to Septus to invent idea griefing.I don't think that's how it's working out with these though. These people aren't suddenly discovering their love of PK, they're just laser-focused on ticking whatever box, and the PK is like a super annoying fly that just won't die.
