There were two others in the dead of the night early in March... Broke even long ago with token investments. So I just play it for crates to see what kind of animals I get to give to random citizens. >_>

That is not an ordinary star, my son.
That star is the tear of a warrior. A lost soul who has finished his
battles somewhere on this planet. A pitiful soul who could not find his
way to the lofty realm where the great spirit awaits us all.
Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 138. You have reached the illustrious level of 96th step to Divinity. *** Congratulations, you've just completed the Battlerage Basics task! *** You feel your experience grow as a result of your accomplishment.

Yay, I mastered the basics of battlerage!
And got experience for doing it, too.

Nearly three long weekends in a row because of public holidays..which means I'm now spending 4 days a week teaching real students, and 3 days a week teaching people how to hit other people with swords.
I had forgotten how much fun it can be teaching people how to fight in Achaea.
Jukilian protested he didn't drink. This was a challenge, obviously.
About twenty vessels of various liquid between them, one drunken senet game where they both cheated blatantly, Berlewen requesting their presence to help buy city furniture and one highly skilled full rewrite of the canon. (ThE CaNNoN GReat o Hashni: do't be a dick) Good times.
We did change a couple of quests, yes. Just the ones where they'd accept an unlimited number of <x> denizen for <y> gold per corpse. From a game design point of view, they're lazy quests, and promote unlimited looping of areas and double-dipping of gold drops from killing the mobs and the lazy quests. Those individual quests (there were a total of 5 or 6 total quests) have changed to be more focussed, this also facilitates the team to make additions to these areas in the future without further inflating the payouts.
First sailing trips today! They were all awesome. I did three total. First one I went down to Zanzibaar, and got to play helmsmen and control the turning. Then on that same one we were heading north to Ilyrean(I was doing the turning again!) and ran into a monster. Went down with the ship cuz .. *plays trumpet* The Captain Helmsmen always goes down with the ship.
Then the second and third one were also both to Ilyrean. Second one ran into a monster in the same place as the first. Then made it to Ilyrean(Finally!) and got hit by a monster on the way back. Seemingly same area. I think they like the taste of me.
Was trying to sail to Ilyrean to get a citymate spec'd.
First! Sunk the cutter by a picaroon. Insta death. The thing went through shield.
Then! Sunk on the strider to a Leviathan in the same chops... really, Levaithan?! That's where you want to spawn, you asshole?
Also, wtf, since when does a Leviathan throw you off figurehead!? That's new and I do not like it a single bit! Not like it's not insanely hard in the first freaking place!
Totally got Aesgar to duel me by bribing him with letting him buy a Crown I have no use for. What a good day
You sold to the enemy!!
Took forty credits off him and beat him up, I'm pretty sure I should get a favour
Hmmm. Mayan crowns are running around 50, so I'd say despite the death I came out ahead.
Not to mention as @Xaden pointed out, the crown went to an enemy who is going to spend it on a pebble, and thus becoming the next dragon storming the Targossas gates.

You mean dying at the Targossian gates
He is a coward who has to bring two friends as backup to jump people hunting.

Probably because I got 10v1'd.
(Just kidding - Targossas is usually fair. I just had to throw a punch back.)

I think they've always done that. There were a couple of logs posted here that showed it happening back near when sea monsters were introduced.

The time we fought the leviathan, we didn't run into the figurehead attack (we got it down to 20%). It's possible that maybe that attack only happens when you're adjacent of it, however, as we were almost never in that position with our extended fight, but were more in this close-up tight chops situation.
That's the only thing I can think of, anyway.

Different monsters do have different attacks that they only use while adjacent, and different monsters do have different attacks that go through ship's shield. Harsh. Honestly, though, that route through the eastern chops to Valo and Ilyrean is about the only time you can "accidentally" run into a monster, and I kinda like that. I wish there were more monster spawns along common trade routes or sailing lanes. Maybe not the lvl 400s, but still.
-- Grounded in but one perspective, what we perceive is an exaggeration of the truth.
@Saeva I was one of the first people to encounter a leviathan and yeah first thing it did was knock me off the figurehead. We were able to start moving a bit but not fast enough (everything else we could just drop anchor and brawl to death in a galley at the time).

I fought a Leviathan for over half an hour once. It never knocked me off the figurehead.
A bit late but hunted a bunch and finished paying off my third ship (a pretty pretty Windcutter) yesterday! Between mine and taking care of Kelvin's I think I'm fully shipped out at the moment...at least until the urge strikes again. I have issues. If I get the itch for a Seastrider again I'll just spec weapons and stop doing Seafaring on one player mode.
I synthesised. I transmuted. I worked on Dawnblade cultural things because I caaaaan and I got a lot of it done by just listening to Erie's local rock station, Rocket 101. (Man, I missed the radio.) I even wrote a ceremony or five, if the first four weren't accepted and I even finished some designs to be like, "yay. WELL DONE. Here's a ceremony and this custom item for yo face. it's pretty."
I also went up a lot of ranks in combat rankings... finished a contract, lost a contract because I was dumb and forgot to tumble and blackwind is gross (hello, illuminate. where you have been all my life. need 2 use more.)
I.. um. What else did I do. I killed Yuthka with @Micaelis. Got ganked by @Seragorn and accidentally hit Micaelis because I was confused (It was 3:30 in the morning). I died pretty easily, but not as quickly as before. YAY.
I hope all you Belgium peeps are safe, and stay so.
