icesus

Most earth priests I've worked with use the minion nearly exclusively, since they don't want to run out of sp, and for the first level a lot of them would just kill EVERYTHING in the main parts of the vaerlon sewers(decent exp and fairly little challenge), casting will attract attention, but just at...

Mastery of Necromancy levels based on how much exp you put into a minion, so it is directly linked to your kill rate. As your masteries go up, you will need less exp to level the minions and eventually they will start at level 1. A level 0 wight is worthless compared to a level 0 wraith, but once yo...

If the game has crashed on 13 July, I am pissed. That is all.

I recently had an idea regarding the psionic groups in the game, specifically beholders, infecti and the inborn psionicists. The idea was a 5 level subguild that is similar to the hive, it gives the ability to choose psionic "knacks" that can benefit the psion. The player would get 1 or 2 ...

I had an idea for monks, a new rune called Lightfoot. What it does is lowers the travel costs and allows the monk to walk on water. I am currently working under the assumption that there is a scale of difficulty in terrain, specifically on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being easiest and 10 being hardest, a ...

So is there another crash?

The location most recently shown in this topic is now incorrect.

It's still got nothing on how long the fire priests had, as far as I can tell.

I don't think the melee should be in the shadowdancer guild, the army could have a training room that uses dummies or pells to train skills that can be accessed, with a little fee, by anyone. I agree on the skill maxes and the use of already existing rooms though. It would be a good idea to have a s...

I had an idea just a few hours ago, that might be useful: Have a training ground that people can practice lbd skills in, they don't get any exp but they don't get stuck in a fight. Skills could only be learned to a specific amount while there, melee up to maybe 60, throwing up to 50, mastery of thro...

I had a few ideas for shapeshifters that I thought might be useful. While not in human form, a shapeshifter can't build a camp or a campfire. This fits thematically, but makes it somewhat painful to regenerate. My suggestion for that is that they should get the decent camp bonus anywhere that is out...

Monks do have a mastery that lowers the drain and decreases the charge time, though I don't know how effective it actually is. For shifters, unarmed scions, and hand monks, I'd like to suggest unarmed parry: a skill that is roughly equivalent to block, in that it lowers the damage a great deal but d...

What if incense even without the spells increases the regen rate very slightly? Would that make more people use it? Incense could be made to help in some manner all the caster guilds and monks too. Monks could use it while meditating to increase the speed that they charge their rune, infecti could p...

Boogie, definitely boogie.

If there was a way to let them get the exp bonus without it being easily abusable, since it's probably impossible to make it totally abuse free, then it should be done. The way solar mentioned would probably work, even for those who heal random hurt people.

Actually there is only 4 people on, Zaltaiz, Belannaer, Loffie, and Apog. I'm guessing the rest are constructs made by the wizards to emulate having lots of people on doing stuff, so they can figure out what went wrong. Since the number is steadily growing, I'm thinking they are stress testing it un...
