  • Hey, it's barely been a day since this was posted and a response was already given. I'm sure you'll get an official announcement in due time.

    I would definitely not count on these things being based on investment, or on a case by case bas…
  • Oh, that's a much more unlikely scenario. IRE has never relented on the purchases-bound-to-character dogma and I don't see that changing any time soon. Making circle hopping more of an IC concern and less of a financial one, though, is a step in the…
  • That post is kind of tough to parse, but I think it's tangential to the points I'm trying to get across. I think I can do a better job summarizing it than I did, though:

    Faction balance is heavily reliant on player participation and playe…
  • This has come up before, and probably merits a full-blown discussion on its own, but I really wish that circle professions could be locked into an inactive state when someone's circle switches, rather than automatically give up all of the profession…
  • Everyone in your circle does not agree on that, as it's been done countless times. You're either suffering from a representation bias or viewing your own circle through rose colored glasses. It's fair game, it's been done to death, it's nothing new.…

  • I can't believe this is even a discussion. @Jules, you're proposing the raiding equivalent of putting your hand in someone's face and taunting "I'm not touching you,…

  • I disagree, because it removes an important level of interaction. Being primarily combat-interested, I really enjoy teaching people how to use their profession, especially if they express a keen interest in actually learning, experimenting, attempti…
  • Those kind of designations sound like they'd be far too subjective to really be of much value - for a lot of professions, core strategies vary person to person. I can understand the impetus behind wanting someone to immediately know what is most use…
  • Yep, and that's the case for nearly all afflictions that share the same curing pool. Priorities are important for selecting the right cure, not necessarily curing the right affliction. You don't want to waste your herb balance curing something medio…

  • Your priorities don't determine what affliction is actually cured. Laurel can cure both madness and hellsight, and hellsight is not a madness affliction, so both can be cured by that action.

    If you're asking why it didn't attempt to cure…

  • Some bashing systems are incredibly spammy, regardless of the profession using it. I'm a big offender here because I built mine around what works, not what's optimal. That being said, the old AFK checks were fine in this regard because they were pre…
  • I'm also kind of getting irritated at these AFK checks. When they were big scrolling blocks of color, sure, great, that was easy enough.

    Then stuff like this occurs (please ignore the abysmal prompt, I know it's horrible ok):

    Y…
  • Please tell me Warchants aren't going to be passive periodic tick effects. For my own sanity's sake, given how most passives have been near entirely removed from every other faction.

    EDIT: Alternatively are Warchants on a separate indepen…
  • If you're not playing an affliction class, having an affliction tracker is not really a high priority. Group affliction calls are mostly for the benefit (or peril) of people who are actively tracking, and are just considered a courtesy if you can ma…

  • Because both sides are probably doing high priority afflictions to one another, unless one side is capable of ignoring afflictions entirely. If I am delivering ciguatoxin and someone on my team is hit by someone else doing ciguatoxin, either of them…
  • There's so many other problems that have been brought up repeatedly, though. The relic powers themselves wax and wane between overpowered and completely useless, and this has barely changed. I can't think of a single positive post about the powers b…
  • I heart the work put into the Magma Vents and the surrounding lore updates. Lore can be a difficult thing to have everyone agree on, and I really appreciate the effort put in by in I HEART Comment by Wysrias June 2015
  • Just at a quick glance, this seems pretty insane. The always on offense powers that extend to webs of shrines will essentially render areas like Demon's Pass that are heavily fortified with shrine webs unusable for anyone outside of those sects, if …
  • 1) I think having 'good' relics be relatively rare is fine. The problem is that there are so many relics that dip into 'why would anyone ever use this' territory. The list can definitely be pruned down.

    2) I think being able to use relics…

  • (Quote) Wasn't this already the point of paralysis being nerfed into numbness, metrazol going from four effective applications to two, clumsiness being nerfed to a consistent timer, balance and equilibrium knocks no longer stackin…
