And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.
"It has been this way" is never, ever a legitimate reason for something to remain the same.
Falcons going through locked, closed doors - including stockrooms, temples, house halls, private housing, etc is game breaking.
Even assuming that I am 100% wrong - that falcon seek has been able to go inside through locked doors forever, and that shimmering orb was changed to stop retrieve and seek...none of that is listed in any help file, announce/classlead post, or AB file. So at the minimum we have piss poor record keeping that also needs changed.
I will restate, however: statements made on the forums/discord/issue responses cannot be things players are expected to know. This should ALL be in searchable help files. Announce posts are also terrible for keeping track of changes - not a reasonable expectation for every player to read and remember every announce post ever made, and keep track of the changes that were made to the same items and abilities over time.
Falcon-rob everyone
Quit class
Wtf?
"What, Im not even a knight, duh. Probably a mistake like people getting killed by gold coins. Bug it?"
This is no big deal from a theft perspective and hasn't been for years, the shimmering orb change recently was directly off the back of an Issue Krizal placed after some testing with myself. If you think a Runie is suddenly going to be a major threat to stock rooms and houses then you are mistaken. I'm not saying it shouldn't be looked at in a classlead but this is being blown out of proportion. A shimmering orb prevents it entirely, Falcons can only carry one item at once and those items are limited to things of a certain size. (And not grouped items I seem to recall, but might be hazy on my memory there)
This is not going to clear out stockrooms and anyone following basic security measures will never get caught out.
Temples already have super sigils, could extend that to prevent falcons off they wanted. The rest is perfectly fine. Stop living beneath a rock.

Falcons can't listen in on conversations so I'm not sure what you think they are doing (spying-wise) that is game-breaking. Falcon glance is no different than veilglance, which also requires a shimmering orb to stop, so if you don't want people looking in your room, yes, you do always need an orb on the ground.
Falcon stockroom theft has been a thing for a long time, as well. I was surprised (as a non-shopkeeper) when I discovered it a while back, but asked Mak and he said the counter is shimmering orb, which all the shopkeepers in my city seemed to already know.
That should be announced too!
Kresslack just had an issue converted to a bug with a response of "working as intended" when he reported you can falcon seek and retrieve in stockrooms. Nicola also posted a non-response instead of clarifying. But according to your response it was not intended and changed. How can players possible wade through all this misinformation when it's coming from admin and issue responses?
I do not understand why admin responses are intentionally uninformative (and straight up wrong too frequently).
I love you guys, but your record keeping and change announcing had not been at an acceptable level.
tl;dr I called being able to falcon seek & retrieve in stockrooms a bug when it was talked about here, people freaked out and said it is intended to be able to be done and has always been this way...only for falcon retrieve in stockrooms to be a bug and have been fixed months ago.
I also agree with Cooper about consistency. We are all acutely aware that a majority of the Admin and volunteers and we appreciate that immensley and with that comes an understanding that things might not always be perfect. But this js 2019, the number of collabaritve sharing / tracking tools are numerous. For this to be issued numerous times by numerous people in different places and have nothing other than announce posts for.us to track it seems counter productive.
See how daft that sounds? You have a perfectly good counter to.your problem, you're just annoyed with yourself for not knowing about it. Nice of you to bug this one though....
Also, orbs are being used more in raids now to stop XGlance seeing who is grouped up. There is more than one use for these, not just appraising

The soul of Ashmond says, "Always with the sniping."
(Clan): Ictinus says, "Stop it Jiraishin, you're making me like you."
Is this what you mean?
