  1. seems pretty expensive to have lunarite involved, especially considering it only works pre Curse II
  2. what about the humble soulless construct made by fellow construct. i get its in the name of the item, but theres still a good amount of soulless stuff that would just be kinda left out w/ this
  3. A woman stares up at the ceiling, with nothing in particular on her mind. She’s been lying there for hours now, replaying the events of the day. Chatting with him in the morning, burning him in the evening. Shahan's passing doesn't move her, not really, and the night follows the same pattern of stagnation. Hours fester, with minutes feeling like centuries. She can't get it all out of her head. She can’t get the taste out of her mouth. At times, her eyes drift shut, and the corpse waves to her with its singular, cut-ridden arm. Then she’s back to staring at the ceiling. Thinking. Pondering. Wondering if anything else could have been done. A woman stares up at the ceiling, with nothing in particular on her mind, yet kept awake for hours by thoughts she cannot stop having.
  4. THE AIR IS STAGNANT HERE. THE GROUND SLOPES DOWN, LEVELING AFTER A SHORT DISTANCE, AND A FAIRLY NORMAL BEDROOM IS SET UP IN THE CAVE. ONE OF THE DRAWERS OF THE NIGHTSTAND HAS BEEN DISTURBED THOUGH, AND OPENING IT REVEALS A JOURNAL RESTING UPON A STACK OF LETTERS. INSIDE THE JOURNAL ITSELF, THE FOLLOWING IS WRITTEN: “As a being of Junmura, I have to accept that one day, this state may kill me. It is a potential fact of life, something I ‘signed up for’ when I moved here. In the event of that happening, I will leave some thoughts. Do not be sad, if at all possible. I understand that I have some ‘value’, to those that I know, and so I will use that ‘value’ to purchase the ‘request’ of no sadness. If I am worth enough to be cried over, then this should be enough of a ‘value’ for this request. Some of you are more sensitive though, and I understand that. You are all made in different, unique ways, and it is why I love observing you all. It is odd, to be writing about ‘death’ for me. It is not something I should experience, yet, I would rather ponder the scenario than leave nothing behind. What should be said, about death? What does one leave behind? I’ve neglected asking others about this, prior to my drafting of this paper, so I will have to use purely my own thoughts. My own approach. If, then, I am to use my own approach, I do not wish to speak of death. I will share what I have ‘enjoyed’ in life. My purpose was not definitive, and I have largely been left to my own devices, where I must decide what to do in the world. I’ve chosen to learn about descendants. They are curious things, unique in their actions and behaviors, and they bring constant stimulation when they are present. In order to better observe them, I have adapted some of their traits, and mirror their behaviors. I am a fabrication of one, yet, all that I do is for the purpose of understanding them. My false nature comes with a genuine desire to learn, and a genuine desire to understand them. Family has been enjoyable, for this purpose. Descendants will form close bonds with those they consider family, and they will provide those within their family special treatment and rewards. It took me some time, but I’ve amassed my own pool of ‘family members’ now, and I have come to ‘enjoy’ the mundane life that comes with them. I am still learning, but now I am housed under the same roof as those that I research. When these members pass, I will miss the unique experiences that they bring with them. I have lost a ‘father’ already, a man that I barely knew, and it made me regret not spending more time trying to understand how he functioned. The core reason I will do this all, is in hopes of fixing the issues present with descendant’s lives. I have come to understand the concept of ‘kindness’, through aid provided for no reason other than one’s own desire to give it, and the concept of ‘cruelty’, through those that judge and harm others for reasons that I cannot understand. If descendants live such finite, fleeting lives, should they not be filled with ‘kindness’? That is the question I have, and for as long as I live, I will do my best to find an answer, and a solution that would allow them to live more comfortable lives. I will write more personal letters, stored and sealed for the day I may die, but I will end the main body here, with a general request to all that see it. Have compassion for one another. Extend mercy, whenever possible. Do not be rigid and unyielding, allow the world to be viewed from other perspectives. To be gentle, and to be kind: This is the way. - Catherine Enberos-Ehrenwald” ----------------- EACH LETTER WOULD BE SENT OUT TO ITS RESPECTIVE TARGET, AND READ AS FOLLOWS: MARQUISE CASTIEN VYSRYANA THERON TQIKO & NELL NJÁLL META HAEL CONSTRUCTS OF JUNMURA SHAHAN ----------------- CATHERINE. 231 - 260.

  5. is there any chance charcoal can be craftable again just so torches can be made a bit cheaper 👀

  7. why do herb nodes and ore nodes have different collection systems. its never made sense to me why herbs can only be harvested by one single person

    1. PrimnyaQuorum

      PrimnyaQuorum

      this one is easy

      herbs are a ST system and if everyone could get herbs, the monopoly on artificial difficult in alchemy would totally vanish. Changing the lore to make potions more expensive likely wouldnt happen

      Metals are a mod/tech system. If everyone gets ores, then all you have to do to keep the artificial costs high is increase the amount needed to make something. Unlike ST, no one on these teams consults players before changing things and they dont really need to

      I've had this thought myself and thought it might be good if herbs behaved similar to now, but, more akin to metal nodes in that there are individual timers.

      Herb nodes would collect herbs on themselves over time at whatever rate.

      If that herb goes unfound, and uncollected, it could get two, three, four, five, etc. herbs on it.

      But one person can only collect from that node for their own cooldown, akin to metal nodes; but if someone else came along, they could also draw from the aggregated pool of herbs.

      I go on metal runs with my friends to collect shit, but, there's no reason for me to go on an herb run, because realistically we're just bottlenecked to the herb nodes own individual cooldown.

  8. where the herbs at

  9. The deceased was someone barely known to her. Someone she heard about, but hardly ever interacted with. Certainly not someone she would have expected to die within the same hour she spoke to him last. She wasn't quite sad, no, but she still felt guilt for this, the same way you'd feel guilt after hearing that a rumor you started has spiraled out of control. Alice Treuberg was dead. Was this her fault? Did her meddling lead to this? Was it worth it? Questions come to her, but none are answered.

  11. before i got vip, i would still type like "*tries to do /this/, even if it may not work." since most people understood the implied italicizes that came with slashes. didnt think about the \ fixing that though. total non-issue, ignore me daisy thank you daisy
  12. "Additionally, non-VIPs will now receive a hotbar message when attempting to use formatting codes, and it will strip the formatting codes from their emote, rather than making them look silly." not a big fan of this change. i know some non-vips that like formatting their messages like that anyways, and removing their ability to do that is annoying. would be better to make it something that they can toggle removing, not a mandatory change
  13. Sorry for the necro of this i just thought about it again. What do you mean “Its only ever mentioned to be at will”. Do you believe ‘the transformation has to be done at will’, or that ‘one can make themself transform, it just cannot be done at will’. I’m having trouble following.
  14. i like this in theory but it just really doesn’t feel like it fits with current werewolf lore, given that some of these involve trying to provoke transformation (which can’t even be done by oneself) and increase the bestial nature of the lycan. the ca doesnt really have too many perks and i like the idea of giving it more stuff, but im not sure if this is the right angle for it
  15. idk feels unnecessary. stuff like the arm nerfs for palelords are whatever but the height reduction feels redundant. it sets them apart physically a bit better

    You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.” ((How do you respond?)) "Ah, hello ma'am! I don't quite know who you are or how you know me, but I've never been one to deny talking about myself. Well, my name is Yeoffrey, Yeoffrey Smith. My great-great grandpappy back in the day shared my name, so I only thought it appropriate to honor him and take it myself. I'm the youngest of me four other brothers, Trant, Howard, Callum, and Rory, although I haven't seen them in quite some time. No bad blood there though, just haven't made my ways home in years." A brief pause. This is the first time he's stopped to catch his breath since he started talking, lasting only a moment before he returns to his prattling. "As for what ol' Yeoff is doing out here, well I'm simply a vagrant at the moment! Got kicked out by the wife, don't blame her one bit, but ever since I've just been town-hopping looking for a new place to call me own. Y' see I was an awful, awful husband, never at home, never attentive, and she just got sick of me. Left me for that bastard elf that was perusing around, oh that fiend he visited me tavern and complained that I only had 'half liquor'. Don't even know what the hell that means, effeminate bastard just wanted some fruit wine. Where was I? Oh yeah, just a traveler is what I am, nothing more, nothing less. Goodness me, I forgot to ever ask for your name! I apologize, can get so wrapped up in me stories sometimes that I forget all my manners. What's a beautiful lady like you doing in the sticks?"
