They allowed Teemo but not Blooblay?  WTF.  I would like to see some God %&#@* Consistancy on the naming policy.

 

And that is my rant

Was digging through some old logs, happened to find this, showing that alcohol and Achaea don't always mix:

Subj: Conflict changes

I've just made some tweaks to some of the various conflict systems

across Achaea. The goal of these are to make things a little more

balanced from both an attacking and defending point of view. We have

some plans for larger overhauls of most of these areas in the near

future, but for now, I present:

* Alchemist damage to Icons has been reduced slightly.

* The essence value of player corpses has been significantly reduced.

* Holocaust damage no longer damages forest and jungle rooms.

We'll be monitoring these changes and making tweaks or modifications

where necessary.

I heard a sound as if millions of laptops suddenly cried out in terror and with a massive crunch were suddenly silenced.

Katzchen

WTF, no more holocaust? Well we may as well just give up forest conflict. Or are they going to get rid of grove summon too, because with it exterminate is freaking useless.

Vaehl

Remove forest damage and grove summon and it's even.

If an Eleusian would be so kind, would you please post 'Your tears... they nourish us'?

Isn't this more for stopping unnecessary Eleusian tears?

Only because you asked so nicely.  It's coming from your mouth though, not mine, I'm too new to know what holocaust does/did.

Tanris

All good changes. Could use a toning down or removal of forest defs to complement no holo, and a reduction in essence loss to mitigate reduced gain from offering, but this fixes some of the most frustrating aspects of the various conflict systems.

Moar please.

Rangor

Lots of changes to summon has been classleaded over the years. Maybe one will come true this year.

Goggo

they are still reviewing classleads?

It has been a while

Sohl

I imagine the Admin are pretty busy with so many changes going through lately - it's a lot to juggle. Currently in the ACC we're focusing mostly on one class at a time, to get a more in-depth review than if we were doing them all at once.

Sherazad

I still approve. As long as there will be more positive changes.

Nosrac, Paine, Peak, Peak, Petrel,
You tell Peak Moliuvia, "There are two of you!"
Peak tells you, "You're welcome Achaea."

I think... Achaea is going to explode now.... thanks Peak!

Cahin

That's only a step in the right direction of balancing forest conflict if you count that as a step toward deleting forest conflict entirely.

ETA: Which I am okay with if that's the case. Please be the case.

Nizaris

I agree with @Katzchen on this: the @Cain Holo-train was the only way we could cause any sort of large-scale damage to the forests, when grove summon can transport us cross-continent into a completely different forest so quickly.

ETA: This one is probably for the class-leads, but I think that one (possible) way to solve this would be to make grove-summon area only. It already makes little sense from an RP perspective how a grove can eject you from one forest and into another.

Delphinus

@Nizaris: You guys have done wide-scale damage just fine with groups of exterminators. All holocaust did was encourage (require) us to bring huge teams against single people (since we have to kill them quickly), and encourage (require) us to sit around waiting for them, since they'd otherwise disappear to Mhaldor before we could deal with it directly.

And when we raid Mhaldor to deal with it, we get accused of time zone abuse. #AllOfMyShrugs

Mishgul

These changes will encourage people to exterminate off plane more often  as oppose to make the conflict more meaningful from the attitudes I see from both sides.

Is this a quotes thread or a chatroom?

Southern corner of the Merchant's Quarter.
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. A runic totem is planted
solidly in the ground. There are 5 Ashtani corsairs here. There are 2 black Zarathustran stallions
here. A silver stallion crafted from shadow paces here in restless anticipation. A pair of large,
bulbous black eyes stand vertically out of the head of this giant ghost crab, peering about sharply.
A spirited cremello stallion paces restlessly nearby, ears twitching with boundless energy. A
delicate storm-grey mare paces gingerly nearby. Given leave to stretch its wings, a noble falcon
soars, revealing metallic flashes of colour from between its onyx feathers while awaiting further
orders. Resting here with a haughty expression is a golden gryphon. The pitch-black silhouette of a
war horse lingers like a shadowy presence here. Dressed in resplendent armour to match his golden
dun, a war horse graces you with his presence. A cow covered in copper consumes her cud close by. A
fierce tiger prowls restlessly nearby.
You can see no further.

Ryukishi hiccups suddenly.

Nieelensars flutters her eyelashes at you.

A scrawny crow flaps in from the up and perches on a nearby ledge.

You suck thoughtfully on your teeth.

Nieelensars's eyes gleam with generosity.

Nieelensars rubs her hands together greedily.

Nieelensars collapses to the ground in a fit of giggles, shaking with unrestrained mirth.

A look of panic flashes on Ryukishi's face as he bites into a puffer fish.

Darklyre peers at a fillet of fish unscrupulously.

Ryukishi says in a subtle, growling voice, "Oh f***."

Nieelensars rolls on the floor, laughing.

Nieelensars says in a wispy, sing-song voice, "Don't die on us."

Ryukishi says in a subtle, growling voice, "That was the wrong fish."

Nieelensars rolls on the floor, laughing.

Darklyre says in a rough, gravelly voice, "I hope you've got a starburst tatted."

You roll on the floor, laughing.

I'm starting to think that most of Ashtan's rep comes from like, the same four or five people.

  Done wide-scale damage just fine, what 300 years ago? Hasn't happened lately. Too many Eleusians ready to immediately go to their grove and summon you. Not much you can do with a 20 second balance regen. When @Nizaris said 'wide scale' he probably means about 8-12 rooms, because that's the most I've seen lately. And those were in direct response to Eleusian raids on Mhaldor. Doesn't take much to regen that, and you don't have to regen with forest defs hitting you, while being open pk to your enemies, and with the threat of beings summoned and slaughtered long before you even get balance back, often before your exterminate even works on the room.

Agree with @mishgul all this will achieve is we will have to go out of our way to avoid trying to exterminate on plane, or while defenders are around.

Delphinus

@Katzchen: No, like a few weeks ago.

I think the problem here is that you're putting the focus on "damaging the forest" and not "encouraging interaction." This might be an unhealthy attitude to carry in.

Crathen

Can we please just delete the stupid rofl emote

What was the point of apparently pursuing a full emotes review if we're still left with all the crappy ones that don't sense make even

Anyway, old quote that still makes me laugh enough to earn a permanent place on my desktop:

You tell General Dunn Lichlord, "Question for you."

Dunn tells you, "Shoot."

You tell General Dunn Lichlord, "Why are you griefing Cyrene so bad these days?"

Dunn tells you, "Define griefing."

You tell General Dunn Lichlord, "You know, raiding everyday, pissing people off."

Dunn tells you, "Wasn't it you wanting us to raid?"

Dunn tells you, "What changed your tune?"

You tell General Dunn Lichlord, "Well..."

You tell General Dunn Lichlord, "It's April Fools day ."

Dunn tells you, "You mother figtree I should snub you."

And you're sure that wasn't Cain holobombing?

Actually I'm not at all focussed on damage to the forest. I just think we should be able to have a chance to do that damage, or the conflict is unfair. I am all in support of skirmishing with the enemy, but being summoned and ganked repeatedly while unable to even do any damage in the first place, even if we have several good combatants is not fun or fair, it's just ridiculous. My point was that this change WILL shift to us having to choose to go out of our way to damage the forest, and avoiding conflict by being offplane, because that is the only way we can successfully do anything now.
