What Happened To You Today?

Portend claps of thunder snarl across the firmament as the Skylord intones, "To see one of Mine go
to the West despite all they have learned is no greater evidence of the folly mortals possess. Enjoy
yourself, Wretch, for I ensure to see the Bastion enjoy ripping away the life you no longer care to
claim as your own."

A deafening thunderclap explodes in your eardrums moments before an Azatlani atlatl streaks through
the room and pierces your heart, killing you instantly.
You have been slain by the Skylord.

That atlatl tho

Isn't portend a verb? Is that Vastar's usual shout intro?

It is a verb, should probably be replaced with portent. And yeah, that is His usual shout.

Rohai

Unless it's not real thunder - it's just portend.

Skirmished with a couple people in Moghedu, with Eleison, and then they brought like seven and we had to stop

Portent is a noun, not an adjective, so that wouldn't work, either. Portentous would work, though it's uncommon enough (in my experience) that I had to check whether it was actually a word. I would probably go with ominous, but that might not be obscure enough for Achaean god-shout standards.

Almost submitted a post detailing every strategy Runies have and the counters for all of them. Getting tired of people telling me it's not that bad or it's fine or whatever who don't actually know what they're talking about.
And to all the people who say change class or buy arties,
A: I can't afford either and
B: Kenway would never be anything but a knight.

This should go in a rants thread but we don't have one anymore and it's also what I did today so fuck it.

There's peace in remembering that knight changes are on the way and that the entire class is getting reworked.

As for me. I finally started treating Achaea like Call of duty (Or destiny because it's better)

And achaea is instantly more fun (also because Serpents come equipped with sniper rifles.)

Amanu

Hunted a bit, removed Jacen's head after finding his corpse laying around in Eleusis(Go Briar Knight!), thought about a gilded pike, remembered my Elite dished credits a few days ago, got the pike, and used @Jacen as the first. Literally in a short time, Mhaldorians attack and Jacenhead has four new friends(d'awww) totemed on him.

Herenicus

Burned down a forest and murdered the Ur'Vampires with a horde of cheering totalitarians.

If you quit your class as a full member, you will lose all class skills and receive about half of 

the lessons back. If you wish to go ahead with quitting your class and losing half of the lessons 

you spent in those skills, then enter AGREE.

You have gained 2573 lessons (about half of what you had spent in class skills) as a result of 

quitting your class.

You leave your class, ready to take a new path in life.

this is probably the most painful thing I've done.

Jhaeli

Holy carp, @Lilian. Can I ask why?

Lilian

I haven't been having fun with combat, or achaea at all really lately. That's the tl;dr version of it.

I hope 'rework' is going to end up being 'built upon'. The biggest, most boring thing about knights is that there was only one really effective way to do things. I'd rather have more options, including what we've got now for the people who are happy with rapiers (I'm not, going fast two-hander as soon as I'm able to), than to just switch to another boring standard.

EDIT: Failing that, WTB Musketeer class (Swashbuckling, reflavored Striking, Marksmanship)

Personally I think the problem with knights is the race changes, Before you had damage knights, speed knights ect ect all went for different things.

Now we have DAMAGE SPEED knights and seems like it's just gotten worse from there.

Although I don't think Knight was the only class to have this problem.

Would be nice to see a few other classes have some different options for setup as well, and one of the main reasons I loved bm, (so many different options to here).

Also for the record dex scaling with knight speed would be pretty cool. (Not atm of course hell I was dsling at 1.575 as a runie)

Illyose

Tested Venoms, which lead to a visit from an old comrade. While the meeting was brief, and to the point, it honestly made my night. The following back and forth brought a smile to my lips. Thank you gentlemen, you know who you are.

You have been punished with the race of Maggot for 1 day.
Your race is now that of Maggot.
(svo): Your max health decreased by 3534h/68% to 1665.
(svo): Your max mana decreased by 4948m/73% to 1831.

Gaia, the Wildwood Queen has bestowed Her divine truedisfavour upon you. It will last for approximately 3 Achaean months.
(svo): Your max health decreased by 643h/39% to 1022.
(svo): Your max mana decreased by 353m/20% to 1478.

The Divine voice of Gaia echoes in your head, "Know this, oh pitiful one. I shall always be watching, eagerly observing your pathetic existence, and revelling in your failings."

The Divine voice of Gaia echoes in your head, "For now, you too shall fall."

Gliding with deadly grace, an emerald fletched dart keens through the air, striking true. Fiery agony erupts from your chest as the barbed tip pierces your flesh, penetrating your heart. The ghostly tendrils of death lick at your flesh as the world turns icy cold, and you succumb.
You have been slain by the Wildwood Queen.
Your starburst tattoo flares as the world is momentarily tinted red.
A piece of kelp falls out of your inventory.
A bloodroot leaf falls out of your inventory.
Some irid moss falls out of your inventory.

(svo): We hit starburst!
(svo): Auto-switching to empty defences mode.

(svo): Ready for combat! (empty defences mode, took no time)

1022h, 1478m, 3970e, 5500w ex|- 1022h, 1478m, 3970e, 5500w ex|- (selfishness)(-643 Health, 62.9%, +30 Mana, 2.0%)

You have been slain by the Wildwood Queen.
0h, 1478m, 3970e, 5500w ex|- (sip health|outr irid|eat irid)(-1022 Health, 100.0%)

You are dead and cannot do that.

(svo): We died.
(p) 0h, 1478m, 3970e, 5500w ex|- 

Whee this is going to be a fun few days!

Ulrike

The pithy little "(svo): We died." message still makes me blink disorientedly every time I see it. (I saw it a fair few times lately.)

Went sailing earlier today, did a bit of paperwork, wrote a few posts, started preparations for a new activity in Mhaldor, and submitted a few cooking designs.

Sat in the orchard shaking my coconuts.

@Madelyne you have a lovely bunch of coconuts.

Considering what they cost? I should hope so!
