The 925 Clusterfuck

Okay, quick poll to see what players of wizards think....

How do you think wizards should acquire essence?
1) Hunting only, where only damage from AS/CS spells counts.
2) Hunting only, where any damage the wizard does counts.
3) Active in general, whether hunting (option number 2) or not; hunting would give more essence than normal, interactive activity
4) Semi-passive, where the wizard needs to be in-game, to acquire a small amount of essense per pulse; hunting would still give more essence.
5) Passive, where all wizards gain a small amount of essense each pulse, no matter if they are in-game or not; hunting would still give more essence.

(Edit: Working on poll, never done this before. :P )

Okay, I fail at polls... should have 6 options, instead of 4.... 5th being the 'Passive' option, 6th being 'Tacos', because you can't have a PC poll without Tacos. :P

A mixture would be cool. All spells should accrue essence, but attack spells accrue the most and there is also a much slower passive route where it just builds up over time. So I voted for all the options.

Any damage the wizard does + small amount naturally. I'm not sure they should have to be in-game or not, as parking wizards at a table afk isn't a great look, but maybe if it's just small amount with a weekly/daily cap.

Double if they train in taco lore.

I think it works fine as is. My wizard caps his essence in a reasonable time with normal hunting with minor steam. If you want to throw a bone to the whiners though, 250 essence at midnight when you get the 250 longterm absorb, but only if you have the longterm exp in your pool. That ensures you were at least online and getting exp at some point.

Are mages considered violent in their manipulation of mana like sorcerers?

Sorceres get their juice by KILLING

Us, mages, are we centered with killing as our way to understand and get more comprehension and power from the very nature of essence / mana?

Are mages tradionaly a profession of knowledge?

Why would a mage get more power to enchant via destructive powers? How about spelling others? You don't manipulate mana better each cast? If my 503 or my 911 is saving others by making them harder to kill, why am I not getting more essence than slowing a damn critter?

I'd set a cap per cast per unique target (friendly or unfriendly) per x minutes.

So it'S good for everyone and the grinding will remain

I'm for 5. Voted 4 because it's the closest thing you got in the poll.

Also, your option 4 just means I park my wizard at a table all day long while I go off my business in life.

Agreed, with both. And, yeah, option 4 is pretty much a recipe for afk-table wizards, but it's certainly better, and more likely a scenario, than option 5.

I don't see 4 as better than 5, though. I can see the idea behind 4 as being an attempt to get people to participate or something, but on simu's end, it's just something easily exploited by the players and would not serve its intended purpose. On the player's end, it's just an extra hassle. Nothing good comes out of it either way, just half hearted lip service toward pocket enchanters being somehow bad.

5 is realistic and has no weird hoops to jump through or tedium to deal with. I've never had a kill poached by a pocket enchanter, nor had one zip around on my screen obnoxiously when I'm anywhere in game, or annoyed in any other way by one. They seem largely a non-issue to me.

I vote passive, in game or out, no bonus for hunting.

Every spell should give you a form/number of essence, with combat and kills being far more rewarding than a pocket mage just throwing buffs at people.

Or just reduce tempering times.

: Dusts hands :

Next!

Speaking as a non-capped wizard main, I agree with this.

I don't care if it takes me all week, hunting a few hours here and there, but, I was able to cap my mana or come close with my current build every week without issue. I didn't cap it last week with the change, and I likely won't this week. People should not have to tweak their builds to use a class defining ability. More effective, yes, just to use it, no.

I love the insta +1 and not having the item locked from use but I'm a bit upset that if I get bored with my wizard, they've now taken away the ability for me to enchant items for my alt in the background unless I also spend a ridiculous amount of time farming essence.

I like the idea of 5 because it strikes me as most similar to the most recent version; you want to go crazy maxing out, more power to you. Sometimes I'll play a bunch for a few weeks/months, but also go for long stretches where I can't/won't play or do more than just log in to check on an enchant, and I'd hate to be unable to do anything worthwhile, enchant-wise, during those latter times.

Also, just because I love that someone said this, here's a reply to a krakii post from the officials:

He had it coming. The rest of that post goes on to pwn him pretty good too.

They should give enchanting to warriors and rename wizards to nerds and take away all their magic and make them wear glasses.

Warrior enchanting: Put two suits of armor on top of each other and hit them with a hammer until they either fall apart (Boom! Catastrophic failure!) or merge into a supersuit (Outstanding attempt! +1 DS).

It’s because the weapons and armor you’re enchanting are used for killing. Or something.

It will never be so that you can just sit in town and cast buffs on people, otherwise, just script an alt sitting at a table and continually casting buff spells at them. To easy to manipulate that system.

As much as it sucks for people with pocket enchanters, overall I think the idea behind the change is good even if the actual implementation sucks.

Eh, it destroys the image of an enchanter to me. Mage that just sits in a tower doing magic shit.

For some reason I never got into officials ever.... that being said does Simu not listen forreal? Why aren’t they taking polls when doing big mechanic changes to the game and already working systems?

Yeah I mostly stay away from the officials on account of autists like that as well.

The smart thing would be to have a cumulative Elemental Defense that unlocks a threshold at higher levels and replace 406 or 414 with an Essence boost of some manner. The idea that you have damaging spells with no other supplemental methods to boost it is poor optics and even poorer planning.

So...basically Simu doing Simu shit.

I reached the cap rapid firing 519 with wracking, and even with capped magic skills the amount of time it took was absolutley bonkers. Imo the changes has pretty much killed off enchanting for anyone under lvl 100. The dev team should have really just copied and pasted 735's collection time frame.

This is correct.

It should be pretty obvious by now that this was done to cause scarcity so they can sell more enchanting services at their cash grab events.

Have the well run so dry that Wyrom needs to sponge up on what was a Wizard’s birthright since forever. I don’t believe even Simu will stoop that low.

---

There's no "big if" to it.

If you accept after testing that they thought "Oh yea this is totally legit, grinding out 40 hours a week is exactly what they want!". You just may be retarded.

If this is to punish table wizards, where is that exact same feelings towards pocket clerics, empaths, bards etc? Should they not also be required to build some form of energy to perform their services?

Plain and simple, they are cannibalizing their customers time investments so they can bilk them for more money.

Congrats, you have reached level 25. You now have a spell you can't use.

We're mostly intelligent people here. I am good faith too by saying they got bright people at simu too.

I am under the impression Wyrom gave 2 conditions for 925 tweaking: annihilate pocket wizards AND put a grinding system related to the amount of skills you have (the higher skills = better at getting essence).

Why those 2 conditions? Objectivaly, it's to answer to a 2019 condition: MOST PEOPLE ARE LAZY AND ARE WILLING TO PAY TO SAVE TIME

It's a marketing concept a lot of companies know: people would rather pay to save time than to do it themselves.

I find those 925 changes to fall completely in that concept WITH the elimination of the pocket wizard ( therefore, forcing an effort in time to enchant).

The current dev crew is all about making things super slow and tedious. And being held accountable for anything at all doesn't exist, so they literally just do whatever the fuck they want no matter how trash it is for the game.

As far as I know, Naos's testing consisted of running a script with unlimited mana and it took him 8 hours to hit the weekly cap.

He also has no idea what his lore setup was during this per his own words on Discord, because he's such a pro and all.

I think Naos means well. The problem is he's still stuck in GS3 where everything has to be a super secret formula because reasons, and follows the same general retarded make-everything-slow-and-tedious-and-boring-as-fuck-because-that's-how-we-did-it-playing-pen-and-paper-rpgs-and-by-golly-we-loved-it thought process that people like Doug and Krakii are all about.

I'm pretty sure Krakii's rl job is to just read the forums, because he's in every thread in every folder every day posting retarded shit about how the way things worked in 1993 is somehow still relevant today.

I doubt Wyrom was involved in the dev process for 925 at all. He's pretty hands off with dev for the most part.

At least Wyrom had the good grace to stay in his lane. The lane of being a useless PM.

It was genuinely worrisome when he expressed surprise at someone's figure at how much demand there was for plain 4x noob gear in their shop. Also equally worrisome that he seemed confused that someone would refer to their lvl 96 wizard that they no longer hunted on as worthless after this update.

It's like he means well, but the autism just prevents him from understanding common sense expectations and such the players have. Or he did understand, and was just being passive aggressive. Who knows.

"why would you want to know how much energy you have?"

fucking what?

Side note, being fixskilled to lolenchanter build to dump all my infused pots (509 + 414 + rest in wizard) before the grace period is hilarious when you spell people up.

multicasting 9 (lol) for mne/ mje, but 1 cast of blurs and your ass is SET from here to eternity.

Krakii hasn't posted again yet, but Doug has since stepped in to pick up the slack for Krakii, though Doug is staying uncharacteristically reasonable for the most part, at least in this thread.

Except for this gem, though it's pretty much irrelevant to the actual topic:

Yeah, I would think that left unchecked it did / would. 400 to 600 major projects (or even half that, I would submit) is certainly not in the 'rare' happenstance bucket. Neither you nor I see the actual numbers, so this is only an inference. But in a game where there are about 500-1000-ish active player characters (you know, those that hunt), anything approaching 50% of that population isn't 'rare' at all from my perspective. Queue up all the relevant discussions about costs of items, baseline moving to 6x in game, effects of dumping large quantities of uber items, etc., etc. I can respect if you personally feel for you it is totally rare - you know, from a single mage's perspective. But game wide. . .

Having said that. .

Why you NO FUN bro?

Apparently all these 7x and higher enchants existing are breaking the game or something. Which he's been saying for a while now, way before these enchant changes happened. I wanna say a while back he made the claim that if wizards could enchant to 10x without super rare potions, then everyone running around with 10x gear would become the norm. :lol:

The officials are so bad that they're good.

I like doug and he's nowhere near Krakii. I don't always agree with him, and sometimes I think he's just playing devil's advocate / both sidsing to a fault in addition to those genuine disagreements. He just has a different opinion that trends towards more old school design paradigms, and that's fine.

Krakii is literally a black hole of logic whose brain ceased accepting new information 25 years ago.

Doug is my bro since he called MEthais Bro.

Yeah Doug is ok, he just tends to take 40 paragraphs to say something that could be done in like 6 words and then half the time you have no idea what he was even talking about by the time you get to the end.

Doug at least has some clue what he's talking about most of the time though whereas Krakii can't make a post without typing at least 6 paragraphs about how things were in GS2 and insisting it's relevant to whatever the current topic is.

I think Doug thinks I hate him. I don't, I just disagree with most of his ideas because they tend to promote tedium, and some of the other stuff he says like high enchants breaking the game, etc.

Krakii though good god he's such a chode. Probably a nice guy irl but total cancer on the forums and usually full of all kinds of misinformation on top of his shitty ideas and insatiable need to be involved in every thread in every folder every day whether he knows what he's talking about or not.

Probably a nice guy irl but total cancer on the forums and usually full of all kinds of misinformation on top of his shitty ideas and insatiable need to be involved in every thread in every folder every day whether he knows what he's talking about or not.



Douglollione just arrived.

Aaand like fuckin clockwork

I wonder if Krakii still plays, or if he just keeps a sub so he can post.

That can't be a real person. That has to be some kind of Markov chain bot someone fed the forums and the old ICE/D&D manuals to.

I'm pretty sure Krakii's rl job is to just read the forums, because he's in every thread in every folder every day posting retarded shit about how the way things worked in 1993 is somehow still relevant today.

According to his forum posts, he still plays, and one of his characters is a wizard, but "playing" to him might just mean something like spamming the forums while being logged into the game.

This is correct.

This is my favorite Krakii story that I never get tired of telling.

This was 8 or 9 years ago but I still remember most of it. Someone on the officials asked a general question about shields, I forget what about exactly. But Krakii responds with about 5 or 6 paragraphs, going into detail about how "back in the day" you used to be able to dual wield shields and shields used to give like +20 TD or some shit, so dual wielding them meant you received +40 TD! So this is how he used to hunt you see, dual wielding shields! He never even came close to answering the guy's question. It was like he saw the keyword "shield" so he copy and pasted over a story from his past about shields.

So the guy asking the question responded with "Hey that's great. Does anyone have an answer to my question?"

I laughed.

Hard.

You know the stereotype of the highschool jock who peaked at 17 and never shuts the fuck up about the BIG GAME and wears his Varsity jacket at age 42 and shit? Krakii is that guy but early 1990s Gemstone 3 was his peak and he's going to be trying to get it back forever. Dude probably wears a GSIII t shirt that is just haggard as FUCK by now and hopes someone will ask him a question about it down at the Piggly Wiggly or wherever the fuck.

Nah. Krakii is too senile for that.

Drizzdt is Uncle Rico. "you noobs. remember that time i picked locks for 5 years so i could win a pvp tournament 30 years ago? How much you bet I could throw this ensorcellable veil iron axe over them mountains?"

Gemstone is a game where people who played the game off and on for 30 years condescend people who played the game off and on for 28 years by treating them like the noobs that have only played off and on for 25 years.

I don't buy Drizzsdt as Uncle Rico. Some people actually like Uncle Rico.

You're an absolute, genuine idiot. That's the reason many people look at your excessive bullshit and just move along. Now I'll be joining them again, because you're stupid. Oh so very stupid.

Define stupid and genuine idiot and please give an example per definition.

My hypothese on each definition you'll throw with example will point toward a form of racism and or uncompability with my view of values and or the world vs yours. That's why I say you guys are a bunch of rednecks.

No wonder why people on lnet says PC is not what it was before, it is now a "I-hate-everything".

Ahh there we go

Fractured English = stupid

Source: https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/h...e-is-it-spoken

Out of the world’s approximately 7.5 billion inhabitants, 1.5 billion speak English — that’s 20% of the Earth’s population. However, most of those people aren’t native English speakers. About 360 million people speak English as their first language. In addition to being widely spoken, English is by far the most commonly studied foreign language in the world, followed by French at a distant second.

360m / 7500m = 4,8% aren't stupid

You guys share the same mental patterns, share the same view of the world. That alone, for me, is more probant as a qualification to "stupidity" than being "stupid" cause your third language is broken

I'm aware.

IT's old stuff, it's white oriented point of view stuff, so you should feel secured:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moron_(psychology)

It was once applied to people with an IQ of 51–70, being superior in one degree to "imbecile" (IQ of 26–50) and superior in two degrees to "idiot" (IQ of 0–25). The word moron, along with others including, "idiotic", "imbecilic", "stupid", and "feeble-minded", was formerly considered a valid descriptor in the psychological community, but it is now deprecated in use by psychologists.[7]Moron" and other words like it — such as "idiot" — were used to support racists, classist ideas and to advance white supremacy behind the mask of scientific advancement.[8]
In the obsolete medical classification (ICD-9, 1977), these people (morons and feeble-minded) were said to have "mild mental retardation", "mild mental subnormality" or "high-grade defect" with IQ 50–70.[9]

For university studies (that I have);

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-ge...Thomas-B-Walsh

In short, there's a correlation with IQ and studies.

Another point: there's also a correlation with the amount of languages you speak and your IQ ( https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2015/...two-languages/ ( 1 american out of 4 speaks another language LOL)

Another point: I'm considered an "expert" in my field for my work stuff. That means, people consult me. (definition: http://www.businessdictionary.com/de...on/expert.html )

How about you?

Hit weekly cap in about 2 hours today between Confluence cold side which is base level 95 and then moved to hot side which is base level 100 for probably the last 45 minutes. Cold side using 502 & 903 steam, hot side spamming 907, and 2 deaths which probably added an extra 15-20 minutes.

Harness Power......................| 403 303
Elemental Mana Control.............| 302 202
Elemental Lore - Air...............| 187 87
Elemental Lore - Earth.............| 160 60
Elemental Lore - Fire..............| 90 20
Elemental Lore - Water.............| 130 35

Which is probably 10-20x faster than I hit it last week and week before. Which is probably why they made actual enchants 73289042x more difficult.

Testing on the test server demonstrated that 202 ranks in lores and 202 ranks in EMC was a significant boost in power. Things that were a miracle at 303 wiz, 202 AS/MIU became moderately difficult with 101 AS/MI and 202 EMC/Lores.

Is it confirmed how inferior 202 ranks of one lore is compared to the 50 50 50 52 split?

it seems to be based on bonus. so 202 of 1 = 302 bonus

even just 40 of each is 560 bonus

so... a lot.

Yaku on teras told me with the recent changes, his axe I was able to do at 97% is impossible. I checked, and it was impossible.

So with the changes, they force people to hunt to get mana but made the formula harder to enchant if you're not specialized… and ultra specialized makes hunting harder (a little like those pocket wizards were trained to get those ultra high items).

So now, you gain more essences but items are harder unless you become less efficient to gather essence?

There's really a consensus among you, people, LOL.

You share the same kind of mentality.

There are plenty of people I disagree with whom I don't consider stupid.

You just aren't one of them.

Ok.

I don't know you so I cannot have a true opinion of you. So I'll leave you with your opinion and I'll keep mine.

Your quoted post above is why I don't believe your command of the English language is as poor as you make it out to be. Some posts are just fine vs. others are obviously faked. You may be French speaking but your English is better than you pretend it to be.

You slipped up brah.

Thanks man.

When you'll be a french speaker and you'll learn another language, i.e. English, we'll talk about the general difficulties we encounter, mainly the damn frustrating adjective you guys put BEFORE the noun ( a blue car) when us, french speakers, put AFTER the noun (une voiture bleue).

When you'll be french speaker and you'll learn another language, i.e. English, we'll talk about some other general difficulties we encounter, mainly the gender and number of words in general. In french, the noun has a gender, EVERY damn noun has a gender and that gender determine the gender of the determinant (the) and the adjective.

So, for example, you can say la table bleue (table is feminine, the determine is accorded to the noun, so feminine, and the adjective is feminine). Moreever, some verb tense ARE INFLUENCED by it. La table bleue est briséE (notice the E at the end of past participle).

And I just spoke about gender, plural is ANOTHER iteration. And it's jsut adjective, plural and gender rules here. I could throw other rules my kids are struggling with when learning English and they say: Dad, you're so good in English. I laugh when they say so.. LOL.

Why this? You'll notice, if you care, I got issues on lnet with plural, for example. You guys DON'T use a determinant when using plural (horses are cool, women are beautiful). We do so often I'll say: the horses are cool, the women are beautiful. It makes no sense for you, it does for me with my mind thinking in french.


So, usually, my English is better in the morning and gets worst in evening cause my brain tends to speak more in french and stick to it mainly the rules I'm conditioned (like you guys are with English).

But thanks again man, next time on discord, don't be shy and get a mike. I'll speak to you and you'll be surprised how good my English is good verbally. And then you'll find I do some mistakes here and there. It's fascinating, isn't?


n.b. According to my job, I'm considered FULLY bilingual. I can do workshops in English for half a day. I can prepare business cases and busines requirements with the right vocabulary. As you can imagine, the wording used is very technical so "easier" than the day-to-day words I exchange with you guys.

ARE YOU THINKING … THAT…? Am I arguing with some of you, speaking nicely with others to improve myself? I AM USING SOME OF YOU? OH DAMN! I GOT CAUGHT! LOL

read it, it's worth it.

Flimbro (MEthais) would understand what I mean and even throw some examples at it. For us, french speakers, you guys, English speakers, do the same kind of mistakes everytime (gender and plural).

So instead of saying: la table, you will often say LE table. LOL

Retard

A moment in falgrin's life:

His wife: supper time, Falgrin! Come eat!
Falgrin: Won't be long, I'm telling someone he's a retard
His wife: Again?
Falgrin: Yeah but I like to decompress my stress on this forum, it does me good. And I'm educating people there. Cause it'S important.
Wife: Your meal is ready!
Falgrin: One last post, I swear!

Who's the retard bro? Me that REALLY enjoy this forum, make gemstone a better game on lnet and improve myself with you guys or YOU that just throw your thick minded opinion (as if someone will change his with your narrow minded stuff) and call others (mostly those you disagree with) retards?

You're envious.

You smell it, you clearly demonstrate a pattern of envy:

You're just average, like everyone around you. You're an average average guy that spend his time on average forum. When something out of the ordinary comes (like me), you feel the urge to oppose it. Why? Cause you envy the difference.

Instead of bringing changes in your life that would bring you insecurity at first but happiness in the end, you demonstrate a mix of anger and denial to secure yourself in your "choices" (notice the " = you didn't choose).

So instead of focusing on yourself, you just throw envy on others.
