    As far as a Pay to Win model, there has to be a better answer than "we can write around it so we should write around it." That doesn't address the issue. The cost argument makes a TON of sense, but I still do not believe it is a justifiable design response to the issue: essentially taking an Out...

    Appreciate the response, but as a moderator, you have to realize that when a post is deleted from a debate thread, it brings to question what else was deleted anonymously somewhere else. I understand the need for moderation at times. I would ask that the moderation done in this 2.1 section...

    Hey, it looks like some posts were altered and deleted from a thread on these boards recently. Now there was some snark involved in the posts, but it highlighted a core problem with Alliance that has yet to be really addressed: rapid build bloat. There was a player who said they started just...

    Overall 2.1 Feedback

    Overall Feedback on the 2.1 system changes. I can certainly appreciate the time and work that went into the creation of this package. In that, I think those that worked on it deserve some thanks for the effort put in to present this to the player base. That said, I think these changes, as a...

    Wither

    The Wither entry in the 2.1 packet says: Wither When struck, the target loses the ability to make any weapon calls (other than Parry or Spell Parry) or throw packets, but may block, use defensive calls, and touchcast spells. Note that this same effect will occur against an Undead target if...

    Broken Items

    Broken Items Making items being able to be broken and not destroyed with Shatter significantly reduces the effectiveness and fear factor of explosive traps. Someone can take a 40 point Explosive trap to the face (Assuming they don’t shrug it off with Trap Avoidance) and spend some time in...

    AWY Consolidated 2.1 Questions/Concerns List

    I would argue it's not much more than a tax on Vomitous Blasts A big thing here, is that this system isn't being built in a vacuum. It's important to remember this will drastically alter how people play the game with existing characters. When I asked for a reset before, as facetious as it...

    AWY Consolidated 2.1 Questions/Concerns List

    I’m game, lets take a look. First, though, I want to make it clear I don’t agree with the premise that 3 level alchemy is unacceptable. It is not only a somewhat useful tool for PC’s of low level to use, it is also a useful tool to stat a low level encounter with a dangerous guy who has just a...

    AWY Consolidated 2.1 Questions/Concerns List

    How is a 400%+ higher (minimum) build investment seen as minor? From a minimum of 15 to a minimum of 66? How is FIFTY BUILD minor? How much build do you actually have? Again, this is heavily skewed in favor of high level characters. Look at the average new player and how much build will they...

    AWY Consolidated 2.1 Questions/Concerns List

    How about we not resist change and say that since this is such a big revision of the game EVERYONE gets set back to level 1, so everyone can be on even footing again? Push the reset button since the game is pretty much a new one overall. It's honestly the most fair way to deal with things...

    AWY Consolidated 2.1 Questions/Concerns List

    By making the investment in Alchemy take almost 7 TIMES the investment to have the same effectiveness that it does now isn't gutting it? Would Gutting it be closer to 10 times? How about 20 times? Seriously, I have a bridge to sell you. So you're saying how it's been for multiple decades...

    AWY Consolidated 2.1 Questions/Concerns List

    So let me understand this. Alchemy globes are is now blockable with a Shield (As it is a Material packet, thus a Mystical with the Shot qualifier) unless you have 20 levels of Alchemy, which you have to spend on the Superiority ability to be able to throw them as "Strikes?" This is a HUGE...

    Base armor changes and crafting/rituals

    Well okay, cut out armor mastery or celestial armor (one or the other) to bring it to 40, and we're saying that a guy wearing only his magic skivvies with arcane armor on them, and no other defenses can get hit with a Dragon's Breath (OK OK 8th level 40 pt evocation bolt) and not take 1 point...

    Base armor changes and crafting/rituals

    So, theoretically, what's the max value of armor that can be worn without a phys-rep? (Looking at arcane armor plus the new stuff). Can we break it down?

    Meanwhile at Aspen Keep

    The banners snapped in the crisp early morning breeze of the ramparts of Aspen Keep, flashes of blue and green, red and gold a bright contrast to the stark grey stone of the walls. Below, a frost had settled before dawn, coating rooftops and nearby tents, the cold sunshine of the morning...

    Nobles Arrested. Court in chaos.

    The torches burned brightly, held by men in gleaming black armor adorned with a stylized white “V” and the image of an owl. A small force, no more than twenty stood outside the gates of Cosgrave Manor, within the city of the same name. Their faces stoic, their eyes burned with determination...

    Acarthian Forces Driven Back after Western Push

    The forces of Acarthia suffered a terrible defeat yesterday, as undead forces lead by Dreadrot’s spectral fiends flanked the main force in a crushing maneuver that cost the Acarthian forces hundreds of lives, and bolstered the forces of the undead. The Acarthian forces had pursued the undead...
