I've actively tried for months to find this out on a wizard character, and to look into rituals as well, but didn't have any luck. Even going to Arcane Tower classes and asking around. Just finding people in the Arcane Tower who are invested in helping each other is difficult. Hell just finding some...

I wish I was 17 and able to play Arelith for 40 hours a week on Summer Vacation again but this is a part time job at best now and I just don't have time to trial and error all these FOIG toys. I get wanting people to have thrill of discovery but maybe there could be some meeting in the middle where ...

Level 17 Warlock, basic +1 constitution equipment, solo content. Took me 10 minutes to clear up the Deep Glen That's all I have to say. Deep Glen is a very old area and a particularly easy writ so I don't think it's totally indicative. I think adding the final boss to the writ requirements would be...

Obviously if I were breaking any rules with how I use the command I'd get in as much hot water as anyone, I'm in no way shielded when I play, as past instances have proven. I'm also a bit torn as to just how to resolve this issue, because as someone that doesn't meticulously plan every aspect of a ...

You can try to do writs at near their max level.. Like if it's for 8-14 don't do it at 8, do it at 13 or 14. If you don't have UMD then pump up your lore (get two +5 rings if you don't have the skill) and use scrolls. 15 lore lets you use animate dead scrolls, if you're okay with that, and the zombi...

PVE content in this game is mostly static so if you beat a dungeon once you know what to do every time you return. The difficulty in this game is learning and figuring out what monster does what and getting a sense of the house style so you have an idea what to expect when you do go somewhere new. U...

I get the need to limit top tier spells but... Not all top tier spells are top tier. I think there could be a variable component cost so the time stops and mords cost a fortune but the offensive spells (which are at best a crapshoot when DCs are involved) were cheap or even free.

I don’t play a fey and don’t plan to so this is just asking… what if they could switch back and forth to a pixie model, like yuan ti and their snakes or hags and the old woman?

Eyeliner

These need to come back when the team has zero compunctions about massively overhauling classes and breaking characters. The animus towards long term characters is extremely unhealthy for an RP server in my opinion. I am still dreading the future monk overhaul and not being able to effectively resc...

Eyeliner

Adding a series of arcane themed writs in the vein of Radiant Heart, or pirates for arcane classes only, could be cool and a good way to get people involved when leveling up. Maybe even non-combat writs where you remove a curse or a distant RP or some other uses of magic practically instead of only ...

Eyeliner

I'm not even sure how you break into tower RP any more. When I played a wizard a few years ago there was a clear path to contact powers that be and get welcomed into the community. I have another now who checks in every now and then but no one seems to want to talk, my requests to meet or apply were...

For every IG month that an item does not sell, tax 10% of its listed value from the owner of the shop. That way there is a disincentive from letting things sit forever, people need to be more attentive to pricing-for-sale as a result, and glorified storage gets actively punished. Everybody wins exc...

Disable pickpockets stealing gold from other PCs entirely, I don't think it will ever work. Steal gold from mobs and NPCs. Instead let sleight of hand skill put something INTO another PC's inventory unseen. A gift, a note, a key, a stack of coal to wreck their encumbrance... etc. Opens up a million ...

Eyeliner

I think the best and possibly only way to really challenge players is to add randomness to the equation. Right now if you beat a boss once you know what to do next time and even the most difficult dungeon, unless completely impossible, is going to be endlessly grindable. But if you had to figure out...

Eyeliner

All the names makes me think... Does anyone RP with the named henchmen? They have such vivid backstories and personalities for silent NPC cannon fodder, I never knew what to do with that. I assume you're not supposed to have them speak since they aren't your summons or familiar? I think I prefer the...

Eyeliner

The soloing capability difference between classes is freaking HUGE right now. The skill difference between a new player and the average player is also quite larger than people realize. There will never be a good enough incentive to group (when you're a average skill player, playing a normal min-max...

Eyeliner

I just want to dip in here real quick and mention that I don't think that making the solo experience more painful is necessarily a good way to incentivize group play, but it sure is the easiest. I could tolerate some added pain but making it unviable isn’t going to do much to force grouping up when...

Eyeliner

I’ve tried to get people to go with me on writs but find it really difficult. I mean there’s a huge range of levels on the server and if you’re level 15 finding someone who’s on right now, is going to be where you can find them, is agreeable in alignment etc, is not doing anything else, HAS the writ...

Eyeliner

All these warlock options have eldrich blast. That’s the main mechanical theme of the class. The other options are good for flavour. One type shouldn’t have damage spells (use dominate, hold, confuse, etc). That’s a good path forward to make them different between the paths. Unless you want to play...

Seems like there could be some mechanical guard rails to ease DM time required, like only one vote per CD key and if a character hasn't been played in two weeks or more it can't vote for a period of time when it returns. I'm pretty sure a new citizen already can't vote for a while, but if that's not...

Eyeliner

My own opinion is unexpected outsiders, charismatic new arrivals, pariahs working outside the city to get votes and so on is great for story. Maybe it's not "fair" to long term citizens who were RPing functioning government if some evil warlock who was shunned out of the city rallies the warlocks of...

Eyeliner

Lastly, I think citizenship cost is too cheap. At least with the current economy, 10,000 is a much quicker, almost simple earn than when I first started in 2010. I would rather it quadrupled than halved. Gods yes... 10K is like a drop in the bucket. We have people with bank breaking levels of gold....

Eyeliner

I don't see a lot of point in arguing a suggestion that's very likely not going to happen, but yes there are days I can't log in because of work and family obligations. If I can't vote, fine, but I'd like to be able to and don't see any reason to make it a narrow time window except to use that to bl...

Eyeliner

It could be shortened but you need more than 24 hours to let people with lives outside the game have some breathing room.

Eyeliner

One issue with making disabling spells more effective is how long they last. Like getting confused or held for 20 rounds may as well be death. Might be interesting if crowd control spells have a much better chance to land, but they only last a very short time when they do. Or, maybe if a spell is re...
