    v0.10 Terminate vs Eviscerate

    I think it's a little unfair to put it that way. It seems more likely that when designing abilities in the past everything new and cool has been deemed "magic". There seems to be an assumption that "regular" abilities can only do damage, interact with the physical world by destroying items, or...

    [.10] Design Philosophy for Class Function and Balance

    I strongly believe the central problem for this rules rewrite is a lack of unified vision concerning what Alliance is and how the classes should be balanced. Balance doesn't mean which class would win in a 1v1 fight, but it certainly must mean that each class excels in a different area of...

    v0.10 Terminate vs Eviscerate

    I think Rogues should be better at offense and Fighters should be better at defense. The system is currently backwards (and no Parry is not better than Dodge, that is a ridiculous argument). The problem is the Owners have no idea what their design goals are for the system other than Earth...

    2.0 - A power gamer's dream come true?

    My character is level 17. Does that put me in the "high level elite"? Almost all of the players from Denver strongly dislike the new rules change and are equal to or lower level than my character. What data do you have that suggests forum feedback is a "minority"? Are you sure its not just...

    v0.10 First impressions

    I love this entire list. I'd like to see shatter increased in level and given a less binary functionality (pc hosed or no effect). Where you can repair a weapon, armor, or shield that has been shattered by a process similar to refitting. I'd also like to see a disarm for casters.

    Yeah this wasn't really clear to me either.

    v0.10 First impressions

    Quoted for truth, back when this rules edition was full of light and hope rather than darkness and despair this was our suggestion. I can't like your post hard enough. I'm also not suggesting this is just a nerf for casters either. Eviscerate as well. I'd personally like to see Rogues keep...

    v0.10 - Poll - Perception of existing character enjoyment

    https://www.ringmesh.com/ I use a set for my Fighter to maintain maximum mobility for packet dodging and I can't recommend it enough. I've been using it for the entire time I've played Alliance and it is "as new". Its a little expensive but really really worth the cost.

    v0.10 Races

    Unlimited buy 10 Build Dodge solves the main problems with being a Fighter. If people truly believe its not worth it then just give Fighters that and make us happy.

    v0.10 - Poll - Perception of existing character enjoyment

    Our chapter has a lot of characters that what we call OOG "Cheater Mail" which is Micro Mesh Chainmail professionally made out of Stainless Steel* (Thanks Alavatar). It looks amazing and maybe weighs 4 pounds tops. Almost all of our scholars except for Dryads wear it and are well over Armor Cap.

    v0.10 - Poll - Perception of existing character enjoyment

    Unless the scholar is really a special case of awful at throwing packets it is impossible to close the distance without taking 2 packets. Exceptions exist in truly chaotic situations where the Fighter can sneak up on the caster or ambush them somehow. **There is one possible exception. If the...

    v0.10 Races

    Racial Dodge and Racial Resist Magic are not costed correctly if they are unlimited purchases. I'd also like to see Wylderkin get Claws and ONE Racial Ability of their choice. Other than those changes I think the races are fine or in some cases (Tusk Races) need a buff.

    v0.10 - Poll - Perception of existing character enjoyment

    Spellshield Popper -> Bind Legs -> Bind Arms -> Kill You. If at any point a Mettle is used then 1st Level Scholar then disarms your weapon and picks it up and then you're dead. If they have multiple weapons on them then a 2nd Bind Arms will kill you. You cannot Mettle while you are in a...

    v0.10 - Poll - Perception of existing character enjoyment

    Have you ever fought a first level Celestial Scholar as your Fighter? Our campaign often fights against people not monsters and such.

    How do you feel the .10 has improved any of these things you have described?

    What do you find fun about the Rogue game?

    v0.10 - Poll - Perception of existing character enjoyment

    I went through all the increase enjoyment results and broke them down by class intended to be after the rules change: Celestial Scholar x3 Earth Templar x1 Rogue x1 (stated desire to play worst class) Artisan x1 (Artisan under current rules) No data provided x1

    Also should be noted that the single fighter vote is explicitly for RP reasons and is staying a despite the new rules rather than because of the new rules.

    v0.10 Empower Warrior

    As someone who plays a Fighter, I think the way critical attacks work are awful for game balance and will lead to situations where Fighters are very powerful for short periods of time and then useless for huge periods of time. This playstyle sounds miserable for other players and even worse for...
