>>Is that live yet? Some folks are saying that they are still perverse and double-checked with the island etc to confirm. Nothing changed for them.

Should be live, if they have logged off and logged back in since the post. Will have it double checked.

>>Also, does "Unsullied" meant a necromancer who is not yet Forsaken? Just making sure I understand that piece.

Yeah, "Unsullied" is our term for Necros that are pre-forsaken.

Zehira was made mechanically perverse, meaning she can't get in the Haven and Crossing guild which is fine, I'd never change her anyways, so I really don't want that messed with. I jumped to the island and the attitude/affiliation was the same even after I logged off and on, the only thing that seems wonky is IF I wanted to I could change my pvp stance. Is that something to assist for, I would not change it anyways but if it's something that needs fixed I will.

Thanks,

I don't feel that I need to explain my art to you, Warren.

Thanks.

I'm not a necromancer primary player, so I'll just throw my minor two cents in for what it's worth.

I think player choice is always a good thing, and I think it was optimistic (in a good way) to think that the necromancer guild as originally designed would draw and center around players that knew that they were getting into as soon as they joined. It seems like time has shown that necromancer players like to take a variety of different approaches with their characters and it seems like this change recognizes that--that's probably very good for long-term interest and expanding the guild's draw to a broader group of people.

I think it's good to have drawn a profile line starkly between Perverse and Others. This gives Others the chance to be more, uh, sociable psychopaths. And it gives Perverse the chance to distinguish themselves more from the latter. I think that kind of factionalism support is a good thing because it heightens RP options.

With all that said, I think that those who have played and continue to play the darker open perverse side of necromancers should have some mechanics to support that RP. If orbs are nuked, they should get their own invasion trigger NPC or something along those lines. It's not a positive atmosphere is everyone is cornered into playing snuggle bunnies. But I understand the fine line you're trying to walk. As someone that very much enjoys the antagonistic RP that the Perverse bring to the game, I would ask (if things like orbs are getting dropped) that you consider ways to give them the "orb" type of threat without some of the drawbacks that apparently justify that withdrawal.

We have automatic invasion trigger NPCs for regular folks so it doesn't seem like a big stretch to let a group of Perverse call in some zombie hordes time to time or something.

What does this new policy mean about necromancers specifically in regards to Orders? I will also crosspost this in the order folders, but wanted to make sure Armifer could easily address this issue as well.

So seriously the complaint now is that you have to be Open to scream from the rooftops you’re a demon worshipper in a world that had 1/3 the population wiped out by a necromancer once? I think the approach they’re taking now is incredibly kid gloves as it is. You get to be a necromancer without getting hunted. You get your tea parties. If you want to take the next mechanical step/turn of screaming it from the rooftops, you have to be open to a response or you’re pushing everyone else that plays into hand-waving RP so you don’t get uncomfortable while your tentacles are grafted on.
