    Beta Patch Notes 0.1.0.93 Discussion

    Because people can't math. A full Khur fighter is 1.7% faster than a full Kallard. Meanwhile the Kallard has about 7% more damage and 5% more health. And they get these greater physical stats without really harming psyche because their attribute total is higher too. By the numbers, Kallards are...

    Beta Patch Notes 0.1.0.93 Discussion

    Hybrids were subpar at magic and melee before. 50 INT was usable in the old system, not great. And on the strength end, generally the races you used for hybrid were really high attribute total races while the races good for melee tended to be really low attribute total ones like Thursar and...

    Beta Patch Notes 0.1.0.93 Discussion

    I like the idea of hybrids being a good build personally. We're in a magical universe, if 50+% of the melee builds also dabble in magic. Fine, that's cool IMO. Melee heavy foot-fighter is like vanilla ice cream and missionary position. They're great but they get really uninteresting if that's...

    That would buff hybrid builds. But given hybrid builds just got hit with a massive nerfbat... The thing I like most about diminishing returns is how it allows racial caps to be meaningful without being absolutely gamebreaking in terms of certain races/builds. Things like a Sarducaan fighter...

    My guy can max at 87 str.

    The moment I saw you're a Sheevra I understood why your strength is so low. Alvarin are the lowest strength Clade and Sheevra are the lower strength race. Sheevra is a dex mage oriented race. I think actually does have the lowest STR cap in the game.

    Correct. This falsity may have originated from something I was telling people. "Don't bother raising INT above 50 unless you'll be doing 120+" That is because every single point from 50-100 was wasted. So if you say, did 110 INT you are investing 60 attribute points to get the benefit of 10...

    Proposal - Remove of 'I'm Stuck' button.

    For real, I just tried to use it for the first time and it does nothing now. I was running alongside a fence and suddenly got stuck. I cannot even see my character moving when I use unstuck. I'm stuck on literally nothing right now, and my character won't unstick using the unstuck command...

    100+ with spells on a fighter... it's amazing the things people are say in the absence of data. I won't be finished fully mapping the new "int curve" until tomorrow but... If your spell damage increased on a "fighter" you moved over 40 points of psyche over or lost physical stats to do so...

    Please revert the ALT self-casting change

    Before this patch, holding your thrust keybind would create a modifier that caused your next spell to cast on yourself. Now it is gone. I hate this. A part of me is glad hybrids got nerfed out of relevance in the new patch because I certainly wouldn't want to play one now when I'd need to find...

    More characters while keeping crafters important.

    Oh for sure, guards would know reputation, but the explanation behind this lore-wise is that the priests told them. The priests have the magic to determine a soul and that is why NPCs respond to soul reputation rather than character reputation.

    More characters while keeping crafters important.

    I suggested something similar. You get something called "mortal forms." Mortal forms have their own race/attributes/active skills. You can switch between them at a priest. However, at the account level you have the "Soul". Priests and spiritualists can recognize a player's soul. Due to this...

    Not Hard-Core Enough. Ghosting, Home Points and Haven

    If a 50s book is only found in jungle camp, and you live in Fab, the point of that isn't that you should need to take a trip to Jungle Camp for a 50s book. If the trade system is good, it should be available in Fab. For 50s + markup the trader is able to charge because they took the time and...

    Ghost physics..they need to be addressed.

    Using voice in ghost mode isn't OP. It's amazing. Honestly I hope it never get removed: Seeing people is OP though. At least with no skill investment. I hope it gets removed and then added back as a subskill of spiritualism. At the point we can banish ghosts it's pretty balanced if you have...

    Single Price (for early purchasers) Instead of Subscription

    It would be cool if they did something like a discounted sub if you pay now. Like release the subscription plan and then give a 10-20% discount if you pay in advance now. So no lifetime sub, but a hefty discount and if you know you'll be playing a long time you can pay for a lot of time up front.

    A case for permadeath

    Proper polling was one thing that was actually covered extensively in my Business Research Methods class. One point the class made is that any "self-respondent polling" should be taken with a grain of salt. Any forum poll is self-respondent as what that term means, is people who respond select...

    Do RPer's consider Alpha/Beta "canon"?

    I'm very light on the RP myself, but if I were to speak in character, and speak about the events of alpha and beta, it would be in generalties. There are political events happening now that will shape the political landscape come release. Seems weird to make no mention of them at all. Also seems...

    A case for permadeath

    If the skillgrind were less tedious I might be open to this. Right now, leveling in this game is awful. It's only redeeming feature is it's over fast. I get what you are going for but it's never going to happen. More realistic ways to increase the stakes: 1. A focus on making housing and...

    A case for permadeath

    The greatest mechanic for gains and losses has yet to be implemented. Territorial control. It's also worth noting that while smart players don't roll around in full Cron or Ohg for ganking, players will create such things to use in sieges because the stakes of those fights are so much higher. At...
