    This is not the Ashtani ideology.

    I like how this event almost coordinated with HP's 125th birthday celebrations.

    Clearly you have never seen Japanese hentai.
    - (Eleusis): Ellodin says, "The Fissure of Echoes is Sarathai's happy place."
    - With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely."
    - (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")."
    - Makarios says, "Serve well and perish."
    - Xaden says, "Xaden confirmed scrub 2017."

    I'm honestly disappointed that nothing more interesting than going full-out Chaos happened. 

    Rip Ashtan, long live the Nihilist puppetshow.
    This kind of opens their door to create their own interesting things. Chaos doesn't require an active divine to cause havok.  I think this is pretty cool, too, and I'm not even A-team.
    Suppose so, but Ahmet didn't come to Ashtan to support Chaos, he came because it was a city of freedom where you could pursue your own goals, not those of Chaos. Personal bias aside, it seems like a decent direction for the city, but I'm certainly not the only one unhappy with it. 
    What you describe isn't a direction for a city. It's just a bunch of people doing their own thing without any central purpose, in which case why be part of a factionalized city?
    Join the Szanthaxian Empire... I may or may not permit you to pursue your and or my goals.

    A good change from being Chaotically Organized.

    Everyone knew some people would rant just to rant when the changes happened, but Ashtan has been completely about Chaos for quite some time now, either willingly furthering it or being manipulated to do so. It's been ruled by a cult that's trying to bring about the destruction of the world and has many times used Ashtan's resources to support their aims. Sure, there have been dissenters, and sure, they had the "freedom" to dissent as long as they didn't actually take any sort of action. But really, how much "freedom" is that? Sit around doing nothing or support Chaos!

    Who cares if it moved from that to just support Chaos? Good change!

    I'm okay with this.




    Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
  • AyamiAyami
    Chaos is a strong aligned faction, and every other strong aligned faction has a fully factional class. I don't see why Occultists should be made 100% factional.
  • ShirszaeShirszae Santo Domingo
    Well, unless something changed, they don't really have a way to enforce/push rogue occultists out of the class. Can't see Hashan banning them, either.

    And you won't understand the cause of your grief...

    Factionalize them. Factional classes are interesting, contribute to personal and factional RP, and are just all around cool.

    It wouldn't be difficult to make it so that the Chaos Court would be able to prevent a rogue occultist from getting Karma, much like Life Essence and Devotion. It would prevent Pacts and a big chunk of Occultism from working.

    And it absolutely should happen. Same with Devotionists, Necromancers, and forestal classes, if you don't live in that factional city and aren't actively working to further the cause of your respective Divine, you get cut off. (Side note: forestal classes ought to be cut off if they live in cities these days. I know there is at least one Sylvan running around Cyrene, a Senator in fact, and I have no idea why Gaia and Artemis stand for it.)

    Forestals at least are allowed to be rogue without much inconvenience that I've seen. And thats fine, I think.  Not everything need mechanical limits. New forestals can't already join cities. Unless the ones already in them are in some way really acting against Nature I don't see why they should be punished.

    Perhaps! It is doubtful for the foreseeable future re: Shaman anyway. It's been asked and answered several times (as recently as during the Hashan Ren when certain players were stirring things up with other shaman in the realm, suggesting this very thing was coming our way). 

    As much as it may add value to the realm's RP, there a significant problem with factionalizing classes as a whole though IMO. It's the same problem that exists with permaenemying:

    Players, who have invested a lot of time and RL money in their characters, find themselves anathemitized from a class not because of their actions, per se, but because a clique of players controlling things at the time decide to RP that they should be.

    That doesn't add value to the realm at all. It almost becomes a situation where such decisions must become outside the players' purview - which might actually be pretty cool because at least there would be some moderation on how things shake out (and legitimate roleplay/chances for players to make things right).

    As far as I know, you can already get banned from domination, it's just rarely ever done. That's more effective than restricting karma, since an occultist without domination is hampered the same way a priest without devotion is. I'd be up for restricting both, but the Chaos Lords refusing to deal with a 'traitor' is more in-line with the flavor of excommunication and such.

    True, except it costs Devotion to summon an angel, so eventually half the Spirituality tree will be unavailable as well. Not sure if it's the same for Apostasy and Baalzadeens, though.

    No matter how they do it, it should still be done.
