  • As someone who once spent more than 50% of the lifespan of the old Invision forums under probations, you should *really* stick with the temp-bans. Shadowbans work on purely disruptive posters whose absence doesn't merit notice. Not so much on old, p…

  • Shovel Knight. Okay, yes, it's a ~retro~ platformer in the early Castlevania/Mega Man/Zelda II vein. It's also straight up the most brilliant game to come out of the entire retro movement in.. at least a very long while. It's not perfect, but it's a…

  • (Quote) No moreso than you can be on both the 'more storyline' bandwagon and the 'put PVE first' bandwagon.. assuming you are in an alternate reality where any of these statements are correct, which we aren't. It's not like there'…
  • No-crits was really the biggest advance, and it could stand to be retroactively added to a few things that are cool but didn't quite pan out, like the aforementioned Llus plant. The demon bosses were ridiculously fun, though I'd like to see a few th…
  • Setting aside skepticism and forecasts of doom with a chance of gloom, I'm puzzled by the price spike kicking in so dramatically at 3 cults including submitted-but-not-approved. Three per circle is a pretty small number, and a million gold is…

  • (Quote) Fair and granted, but on some level at least there's comfort in knowing what you're getting into before you do - as opposed to having an idea that seems perfect and pans out decently well, but doesn't actually go anywhere.…

  • (Quote) There's something really surreal about seeing you post this.

    E: Also, +1 to the idea of Orc Aspects. Onkassus is trying to take control of the monolith at...
  • Just noting that while there might be cults without entities, they won't be very prosperous ones. More likely it'll be a couple people grinding away at it vainly, maybe a couple sitting around who don't know any better or don't care, while a signifi…

  • Yeah, probably sensitivity after doing a little number crunching and testing. I forgot just how bad the strength conversion on DSL is (really, really bad).

  • Yeah.. no. He's Athletic, so strength probably wouldn't be a HUGE factor (attributes come AFTER raw is calculated.. for some reason). Judging by the context you'd already been taking hits - sensitivity, maybe? Even with stoneskin+runes+terrais you'r…

  • The changes we have are good, I'm not disparaging them, but the <CIRCLE> 4 LIFE CHANGING IS FOR LOSERS idea is pretty toxic. This isn't purely an RP game, there are concerns at hand beyond just the RP. And hell, that do…
  • (Quote) Yeah, I hate people playing games to have fun, too.

    Come on, seriously?
  • 7: Not really an answer to Mage's problems, honestly. A single affliction on such a slow time scale won't really do a whole lot (or, quite frankly, much of anything - it'd just be endless oxalis spam for Stridulation trolling, or maybe strych spam f…
  • Yes, you can. Proper use of CC is crucial for good kill teams. Being on the receiving end of a good kill team tends to generate massive amounts of combat rage as a result.
  • Purity is worth 300cr, especially with the current state of Mage and its reliance on retardation. Purity can, will, and does win fights. And it doesn't even actually cost 300cr, considering you need Alchemy for toxic rings of pestilence and eldritch…
  • Yeah, I don't fault you for living life at all - that's what anyone reasonable would do in that case.

    However - it was still a colossal failing in that nobody in power stood up to lead, whether it was because of external influence …
  • Basically, TL;DR: Mages are a broken class in three ways. In 1v1, they either dominate without opposition or they're forced to reset the fight (or die). In group combat, they are toothless and completely without utility that doesn't run a huge risk …
  • I can't pick a reaction to that post. LOL seems suitable, but then so does disagree. Why is there no 'complete and utter bewilderment' option?

    I mean.. it straight up screams 'I don't know how things work anymore, but here is my opinion'.…
  • Knights ahead of Mage, Predator, and Summoner? Did you fall into a portal to 2007 or something? If so, please send me GPS coordinates so that I can go back and warn myself about all of the stupid things I am about to do.
  • (Quote) Yes, it does. Did you know that acknowledging this is something you can do at the same time as acknowledging that Diabolist and Summoner and Predator also need loving?
  • Emotional appeals aside, the thing is that with the general state of the game.. team combat is more inclusive than 1v1 is really capable of being, and the effort required to dig it out of that incredibly deep pit is both monumental at best and
  • (Quote) Team combat is a numbers game if everything else is equal.

    Fortunately, everything else is never equal, and that's how small group vs zerg clot sometimes still ends in favor of the small group.
  • If the Council voted on it, why did they never actually tell anyone? It's hard to say it was ignoring orders when the order was never actually given (and an Erege was present at all the fights (and Pellerin said he'd never said anything of th…
  • The key is that it's not balanced in the sense that you have an equal chance to survive any given encounter, but in the sense that when two teams collide, no side has an unfair advantage.

    Bringing more guys isn't 'unfair', i…
  • I will fight you

    wait no I won't because I QUIT HA HA
  • I will only come back to the game if Juran starts building a city in the bottom of Kryx'lyre out of artifact houses.

    The only help he is allowed to enlist is Selthis because of his Smaug-like credit and token horde.
