  • Well that is what sparks was intended to do. In the 70% of hits when sparks does not proc, it will result in a mana deficit when you land a special move. My question on sparks is whether or not it was intended to have 0 weight and not count as an i…
  • Sparks does not count as a mod or have imbue weight on Storm Lord's Steel, allowing for 6 mod, high weight imbued items. Is this intended?
  • KingOfPvP said: Hello there, I just tested on TC this incredible thing...it's already very hard to dismount with a no-dachi, it has been like this since 2004, since day one of Bushido. I would like to understand how can someone dismount with …
  • I definitely agree. This pet should be toned down a bit stat-wise, and made to be a 3, or even 2 slot pet to make it viable. Given that the only other pvp-viable pet with poisoning is a non-spawning dragon selling for absurd amounts of gold, this sh…
  • I would be interested in seeing tele rings [and more PvP geared items] as VvV rewards. We need things to make fighting in towns [or anywhere outside of Yew gate really] worthwhile again. If these are going to remain viable in PvP, they should be mor…
  • I would actually argue that anni horses, and VvV mounts should remain as is, or at most being given an uninterruptible casting timer of 1-2 seconds. Anni horses are finite in number, relatively expensive for single use items, and as far as I know, b…
  • losses said: Yes forgot to mention this will just shift people from using ninja swap to summoning VVV horses / anniversary horses instantly (they already do that but ninja swap is more popular). Might as well fix that too. Players can st…
  • These are all really good changes so far. I agree that the shatter range should be even shorter. I would go as close as 2-3 tiles, 8 is still well within troll range. I still think shields should be disarmable, but also different from weapon dis…
  • This is being made much too complicated. There needs to be a nerf across the board for evasion. Not just mages or hybrids, but right across the board. No template should be able to take a full 4+ person sync dump and walk away at half life. This is …
  • Paithan said: Optimus said: I know this thread is supposed to stay on topic, but you're definitely correct, something needs to be done about literally everybody having animal form without actually having the actual skill to do so due…
  • I'd say not being allowed to cast spells in addition to not being able to use items for 10-15 seconds after a skill change would be enough to nullify the animal form skill swapping. Maybe add in a slow walk as well just for good measure. It won'…
  • AngrySQ said: Optimus said "Literally every template out there now is a "hybrid" template, and they should be ENCOURAGED." Optimus said I know this thread is supposed to stay on topic, but you're definitely correct, something needs to …
  • xxxVideo said: Can we have ninja animal form require real skill? Everyone just swapping jewels and mask to get those skill to form and run away, this makes already nerfed archers irrelevant even more since pointless dismounts. I know this…
  • AngrySQ said: Cetric said: I dunno who suggested Shields should be disarmable again, but that'd be cool.  Thumbs up The_Higgs_1 said: I think shields being disarmable would be ok but there would have to be a better requip set…
  • Benelli said: proposed changes seem great, besides nothing addressing the hybrid 840+ skill templates. We should be wanting to see more innovative high skill templates. The only thing I don't like is seeing people swapping out hundreds …
  • Bleak said: The following changes have been implemented based on the feedback provided here and will be available for testing on TC as of today. We want to give everyone interested a time to provide feedback, so head on over to TC and check t…
  • No troll, I legitimately think what you're proposing is very stupid, and will never go anywhere. If you have "exceptionally easy ways" of getting any scroll you need, then stop complaining, and go get any scroll you need. The "Ol'fashion" way involv…
  • Go ahead, play test, and see how much fun you have there by yourself. Otherwise, if you need 120 scrolls, you must risk entering a non-consensual PvP zone to get them, or farm something else on a facet with the Trammel ruleset and buy the scrolls wi…
  • All of these ideas are stupid. Felucca is the only non-consensual pvp facet. If you don't like it,  go do tram stuff on the other facets. 
  • This dev team is unnecessarily complicating things. 5% decrease in parry cap, with a large reduction in evasion + increase in cool down. It's so easy. It makes sense, and it's moderate. Now let's watch them go scorched earth and kill a game everybo…
  • I think rather than eliminating splinter on LP, LP itself needs to be addressed. Failing to cure with 10 potions and 4 casts is what really unbalanced it imo. There should be increased chances of curing with each failure, rather than getting rid of …
  • Splintering is a powerful mod, but it is available to everybody, and is commonplace in PvP, integral even, at this point. Not just to dexers, many mage templates are reliant on it to get kills as well, as all anybody with a brain and broadband conne…
  • @Bleak Addressing proposed changes: Parry/Evasion - Implementing a 15 stat point stat tax on parry mages is lazy, and does not rationally address the problem. Not saying parry doesn't need some sort of nerf, but that definitely isn't it. Evasion i…
  • OlRac said: Ya gotta read the paragraph, not one sentence.  "At the end of March, I promise that I will discuss the results of the poll with Mesanna.  That will either be a discussion about re-enabling the artefacts, or just a confirmation t…
  • If you want more people to login and play siege, do this. If you want to stimulate the cities, and get the shard bumpin', do this. If you want siege to continue down a path of loneliness and despair until it is a complete L, do not do this.
