EXP SWITCH (for grandfathered magic skills) 01/14/2013 06:35 PM CST

Just coded up an addition to EXPERIENCE - If you convert AFTER this post is made, you will gain the ability to use EXP SWITCH {SKILL1} {SKILL2} to switch your magic skills after you've been grandfathered. This will last for 24 IG hours after the conversion, and can be done any number of times. You cannot SWITCH if you have field experience in any of these skills. This is to give you a chance (when combined with the global magic preview) to figure out what spells you can cast and want.

We just did a character wipe, but if you converted after the wipe but before this post, CHATTER and I'll try to enable the SWITCH ability for you.

If I don't respond, I'll be around this evening as well.

And this EXP Switch is for magic only, not the barbarian spirit skills correct?

It currently works for barbarians but I haven't confirmed with Kodius that that's what he wants. More on that once I've confirmed.

Well all spirit skills are via grandfathering and are at min circle requirements. So switching would REALLY hurt circling. But it might allow for the harder to learn skill to be higher, It is easier to learn inner fire than debilitation.

No it wouldn't... Your 1st Supernatural and 2nd Supernatural skills would obviously switch as well.

I talked to Kodius, he approves of Barbs being able to move things around to fit their playstyle.

There was talk of condensing them all down to be closer to each other, like 72%, 71%, 70%, 69% instead of 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%. Is that still on the table?

Unfortunately not. There's just not a good way to give people that option before the conversion happens, and after grandfathering has happened, things might be wacky anyway.

NOW you do this?

I would have LOVED To have been able to do this platside with a few characters.

I really don't have the words.

Chill. I'm looking into a way to give Plat people the same window, even if you're already converted.

Thanks for looking out for us! I might switch debil with whatever is my lowest just so I don't need my combats to catch up to it as far as it already does.
