With the new stuff, would it be possible to have the updated versions of our characters copied over? If not, that's ok, but thought I'd ask.

Whee! Hoping to get a bunch of people together tomorrow evening/night to have a testing storm, if it's out by then. (hopefully)

It would be absolutely lovely to get updated characters over too :)

Should we be testing contests? i.e. what contests are the roars on now? Was passive BMR removed? Does having high inner fire help the contests?

Curious if we should be doing tests such as Barbarian has stats of X vs other player with stats of Y, and we got Z results. (basically making sure power levels are in line and aren't crazy so that a Barbarian with stats 20 points less than another player isn't auto-winning or anything)

>>Should we be testing contests? i.e. what contests are the roars on now? Was passive BMR removed? Does having high inner fire help the contests?

You can test the roar contests. They are all Save vs Fear.

Passive BMR is gone and replaced by abilities that interact with magic (some of which I am still finalizing). The Bastion meditation is a Save vs Agility barrier for example, and you have 2 general damage barrier abilities (one elemental, one physical). The integrity and potency barriers are on the way.

Inner Fire level does not factor into any contests.

And yes please test the contests. We need to ensure everything is working correctly.

>>The Guildleader frowns at you and says, "You already picked your path in the Guild.

That is just a bug, I'll be fixing it here shortly.

>>For forms both barbarians I went into Test with were only offered buffalo form for forms

Not sure what you mean? Advancing in a Path requires the selection of some abilities you might not necessarily care for to get to the better abilities. The sign, placard and banner located in each Guildhall should show what abilities exist in each Path from a macro view.

>>so have we been all pre-set as Flame because we are set to use that meditation?

Meditate Flame is a freebie. It doesn't teach, but it is required to know about your inner fire level. Ability pre-reqs have taken this into account.

>>Or how would you see which pathway you've been set to?

Your flame meditation will show the Path you've selected once I fix things up. Also, once I get time I'll be adjusting some of the messaging for things to reflect your Path.

I still can't get on that other site, so I'll put a couple bugs I found below:



Spelling: agonar misspells lessons as lessions.

Death's embrace - although listed under path of the horde, am told cannot learn this without 7 abilities learned from path of flame.

Agonar refers to himself in the 3rd person when asked about himself.


The below is commentary:
Likes: being able to see my surroundings when berserking.
Likes: Being able to have a berserk and "form" up at the same time.

Dislike: haven't found a berserk so far with as much pure OOOMPH and "save-my-arse" factor as berserk stone
Dislike: learning rates for inner fire. couldn't move it off of 1:24.

Hehe, still getting my legs under me with the magic changes... Roars are all Fear based attacks and are defended against using Willpower, for now. I'll likely be making some adjustments so other defenses are contested at times. This will be included with the final list of abilities.

"I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts."
- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes

Yeah, we are not allowed to cram too many effects into a single ability like Berserks used to have. The idea is if you get in a jam, fire off 2-3 berserks and get the heck out of danger - at the expense of possibly running out of IF and having all of your abilities drop if you aren't careful.

For example, if you get stunned and knocked down you could fire off Flashflood to break the stun and stand up. Then if your vitality is bad fire off Famine. If you are about to take on a ranged user, fire off Tornado as a preventive measure.

Volcano will be the real life-saver, but does little else other than prevent you from immediately dying. You might live for a bit, but actually getting out of combat after losing both arms and legs is perhaps something better suited for your hunting partners to help with!

Fixed up the misspelling.

>>Agonar refers to himself in the 3rd person when asked about himself.

I believe that is intended... arrogant, a bit.

T'kiel hasn't been updated at all yet.


<<She continues, "I can tell you about a handful of those techniques that I can teach you to use, if you're ready to learn them. They're the roars Anger the Earth, Insane Laughter, the Serpent's Hiss of Warning, and the battle cry of Superiority. Ask me about them if you wish." She leans back and waits for your response.
>ask t'kiel about berserk
T'Kiel replies, "You're ready to learn how to unleash your fury at the highest levels now, but I'll not teach them to you. If you feel you are truly worthy of seeking the proper instruction, seek out old Charak. He's been known to wander Pokekehekepi beach these days. Supposedly it suits his temperament now.">>


Nor has Anhh'shre.


>ask anhh'shre about roar
Anhh'shre stretches her arms briefly before returning to her accustomed stance. She replies, "The mind can deal with a number of things. There are others that it can't deal with very well. The Guild has made a study of both. I can teach you how to use both."

She pauses for a moment before saying, "If you wish to know what I'm talking about, ask me about the roars Caution of the Spider, Weighted Justice, Magic's Bane, Mage's Lament, or the battle cry for Bloodthirst." She waits patiently for your response.
>ask anhh'shre about anhh'shre
Anhh'shre glares at you, "I do not have time for idle chatter or nonsense. Make sense or be on your way!"

>>I'm really excited for Barbarians -- I think this will go a long way to enable a lot more intelligent PvP and tactics for them, rather than just firing off Dragon Dance and calling it a day.

It'll do a lot more than that too. Trust me, other than having OP passive BMR the really intelligent Barbarians will come out better in this than before. Especially against stealth.

I mentioned that experience is not entirely implemented yet. Roars work really well, and the 6 Barbs I had in were learning OK with forms. Berserks/Meditations are not really balanced.

Bow, I can't help you with. Combat is broked and I'm not able to fix it. Please add a BUG to the tracker about this.
