What Happened To You Today?

Kyrra

A rolling wave of cleansing flame emanates from @Penwize reaching out to engulf all nearby.

The flame engulfs you but does not burn; you feel your spirits soaring to ever greater heights

as your strength becomes more.

Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level

106.

You have reached the illustrious level of Highborn of Dragonspire Mount.

The flames engulf Penwize, leaving him unharmed and somehow greater than before.

(svof): Your max health increased by 50h/0% to 8008.

(svof): Your max mana increased by 28m/0% to 5992.

My first jump into the Fire Plane after swearing allegiance to Krractle was to be promptly smooshed by his finger.

The welcome wagon is strong.

Torinn

Yep good ole kkractie.  I call him kkractie when he isn't around.

You level your draconic gaze at a fairy Lady of Sidhe, assaulting her with psychic waves of force.

You have scored a CRUSHING CRITICAL hit!

A fairy Lady of Sidhe cries out in pain, her butterfly-like wings fold around her as she crashes to

the ground.

You have slain a fairy Lady of Sidhe, retrieving the corpse.

Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 108.

You have reached the illustrious level of 4th Stratum of Puissance.

A large pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse.

You feel a surge of energy course through your body as a sycophantic shoulder cape feeds upon the

lifeforce of your fallen foe.

Kriex

Had a lot of fun in the last crusade. I dont have my melee stuff set up for 2h yet so I am only really good for sniping currently. Was able to get 5 kills and stay alive the entire time. Aldo thanks @Austere for getting me to level 80 on your death. Fastest leveling to 80 on a new char since I started playing Achaea. Im really giddy right now haha

Telendrieth

Finally, after so much frustration in dealing with the water faction, I made some huge strides today. Thanks to @voli @Shirszae @Vincenzio @Kayeil @Rilinstra @Tarvius and @Dochitha
we were able to pull this off. 

You level your draconic gaze at a Dreadpilar, assaulting him with psychic waves of force.

Thrashing wildly, a Dreadpilar expires as ichor and internal organs explode from within its cracked shell, splattering across you and your surroundings with equal vigour.

You have slain a Dreadpilar, retrieving the corpse.

ENEMY SLAIN!!!!!!

Which lead to a pretty amazing finale. Though the icing on the cake came right at the end, and had me chuckling way too loudly this late at night. 

A chorus of confused cheers erupts throughout the Alcazar as Telendrieth is raised to the rank of Regent.

Mindshell Azon yells, "I'm confused but yay!"

Met a DWB for the first time:



Ouch. Client did not lag. Super happy. Love my starburst trigger.

I never knew I needed a sub for that line, but it is now the same line with quotes. 

Puxi

Why you guys gotta pick on Profbro?

Sobriquet

This about sums up my day today 

Aesgar

What happened to me today will change the way I play Achaea forever... I built my first PC  

Huge thanks to @Antidas, @Elsam, @Nazihk who helped me out and answered all my questions over the last month.

 Super excited to get it hooked up to that internet thing tomorrow and fire up Mudlet for the best TPS (text per second) ever clocked. 

Next up, working on the battle station.

Someone fought Penny.

Sobriquet

So, last night after starting around 9pm, I finally finished at 3am..



Big thanks to @Asmodron and @Rekhyr who pushed me along and give hints and tips to all my stupid questions, without directly handing me anything (Apart from one part, because at 2am I was ready to strangle a small kitten and mail it's insides to whoever created that final quest!)

Also huge thanks to @Ictinus who stepped in immediately when I dropped him a message saying something had gone wrong, weaved his magic, and I was back on track. Also for rezzing me when I ignored his warning at the end!

Not today but yesterday. 

A few days ago a participated in a raid on Mhaldor. Afterwards Puxi approached me for my bounty ( first ever bounty which was great!) and I died while wondering why my aliases weren't working.

I decided I should overcome my anxiousness about coding and with the help of the mudlet manual and Hashan fixing minor errors I managed to code aliases that swap what they do with if/then statements, made binds that altered variables and proper echos! Lots of you are incredible coders but this small accomplishment has me rather proud.

( Puxi will still crush me but that'll get better with practice.)

Puxi

Awesome! Glad you got everything fixed. You'll get there Just remember, there is always a bigger fish.

It was yesterday but first time I've had to post

Thanks for everyone that came

Dochitha

You have recovered balance on all limbs.

You whip Southern Frost, a Vashnarian morningstar toward a fell werewolf.

You whip Southern Glacier, a Vashnarian morningstar toward a fell werewolf.

You have scored a WORLD-SHATTERING CRITICAL hit!

You have slain a fell werewolf, retrieving the corpse.

Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 124.

You have reached the illustrious level of Avatar of Supramortal Existence.

A small pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse.

The death of the corpse of a fell werewolf fuels the fires that rage within an armoured charge tank.

You feel a surge of energy course through your body as a sycophantic shoulder cape feeds upon the

lifeforce of your fallen foe.

Bought our first two servants for the mansion, a Butler and Gardener (worker).  Completed the rooms for the statues and working on the forestal rooms next. 

@Nyneve is having me focus a lot more on stuff I've been slacking on for seven to ten rl years

It’s going to be like Downton Abbey drama  with the fatherly butler, conniving footman, and a rotating cast of maids and side characters.

Today I answered a question for myself.

In a raid that lasted for 20 minutes with about 12-14 participants, encompassing at least 8000 lines, a Javascript/HTML5 client was reasonably performant and had no perceivable delay even with high spamming and, at last count, 762 triggers. Aside from an initial hiccup that required a rapid parser/user-code reset taking ~200 ms, there were no errors.

Compared to an early 2016 version, performance was felt to be related to the amazing Fastdom, pre-caching of Regex triggers, and buffer management.

Can a Javascript/HTML5 client be Achaean group combat performant? Yes.

There is hope for you yet, Nexus.

Antonius makes his offering, praying for the shrine's defilement and risking the anger of Sartan.
The shrine of Sartan shudders for a moment before collapsing into a pile of useless splinters and dust.

The ground around you rumbles and shakes as the earth parts. A humble shrine of Aurora rises from the
ground.

Your aura of weapons rebounding disappears.

OOPS!

Would you join if I built a statue of Sartan at the front gates?
