  • I am just saying that if you build in the current system, you'll actually need it.  And that a toned down version (per Juran's suggestion, or something akin to that), is probably a good answer.  
  • I am bad at math in public... You defile for... say 16%, I sanc for 15%, you defile for 16%.  Now I am down 17% instead of 16%.  I think it can actually be much worse than that depending - this example would be a minor mistake on the defenders' part…
  • Well, I think we rallied pretty well, considering.  That said, here is how people feel about shrine wars:  Septus hates them so much he wouldn't let me and Ultrix start one.

    I'd always give away an entity, even if he was sort of alright - but I am just a filthy casual who does what I'm told.  Well, hrm!  That said, intra-circle conflict is all the rage now what with the politics of blowing stuff up.

    Aegis is for endcaps @Ozreas.  If a "eff you" shrine is all by its lonesome with no other shrines to protect it, or in a small block, it makes sense …
  • We did grab Morgaze and Jeb (and every sect courts people like that, people who just want to bash).  Those people usually don't just turn up looking for a fight, but when you ask, they will come make a team that probably couldn't even take to the fi…
  • Alvetta is one of the biggest PVE-ers in the game (and she kills people too).  Pellerin is similar, less sure about Galt.  Shou was a HUGE PVE-er, who also killed people in old, sucky predator, and actually enjoyed the intricacies of shrine networks…
  • Just as I was patting myself on the back for being that weekend warrior who points end at enemy:

    In a blur of motion, Anarys rakes the tip of her knife over your hand, the searing pain causing you
    to drop a truesilver longsword.

  • I'm definitely not much of a PvE-er, and I'd like to see less of a sheer investment in time and effort with shrines.  Probably in the form of a cap.  Because you'll never feel like you need to build shrines you can't build.  

    But, the mor…
  • You misunderstand.  You are benefiting from the many shrines from various sects in DP.  Without them you wouldn't be able to touch our shrines.  Those shrines are the only reason your defiles do anything.  In a less congested area you'd almost certa…
  • (Quote) Well, it assumes not doing a pretty big rework (which is probably the better option).  And most of us even seem to agree generally on what that system would look like (which is much more of a capture type system, without quite so much labor…
  • If we don't totally rework the system to something that is less "build this gigantic thing, one brick at a time", then one problem is that for defiling purposes, I am pretty sure you don't have to HAVE shrines, in order for your defiles to benefit f…

    @Wyll Some of the things you're saying right now are the sort of statements true PK griefers drool over.  Because they're the kind of thing that …

    The game has a huge amount of variables, some of them very relevant, and linked to other important variables, while most are barely relevant and seem to exist as intentional distractors that the player needs to learn to filter out in …

  • I think most people keep copious notes and spreadsheets.  That's not bizarre, although it wasn't always well known among non-coms like me.  But has anyone else had to make serious, in-depth flowcharts that detail events and timelines and time remain…

  • Sure.  It's not untrue.  However, for the amount that a regular PK-er spends on a single IRE, much less many of the whales that retired, I have higher expectations than that of what they'll do to keep a game I've already invested in healthy and humm…

  • If you want to be AM and are less than confident about coding and PvP mechanics, go Outrider!

    At this point, the potential unforeseen consequences of what is a great idea overall are real clear, and retirement should probably only be doable from a reasonably healthy game.  Retirement should be "I am retiring because I played t…
