Will try to make it in some form!

Present.

Log picks up after I had been fighting Tamira and Tiberius around Gap for a bit, eventually resulting in me eating a couple bashes and running to Blight. Then Ifrit logs on and comes south, and we get to work.

Desolate Plains
Gray plains stretch in every direction. Nothing of much notice can be remarked
through the hazy view caused by the rising waves of heat emanating off the
dark, sun-baked clay except for some tall mountains in the distance towards the
west, though they ...

Within the Forest
The forest becomes much thicker here, almost dense. The trees here consist
mainly of fir and white pine, but are overshadowed by the taller red spruces.
The shrubbery here is quite sparse, but the rocky ground is covered over by
spongy, dark green moss. The ...

An Archaic Mausoleum
You are inside an ancient mausoleum, lined with various ruined statues and
destroyed mosaics. Along the northern wall runs a dark altar, human skulls
drenched in blood border its ghastly edges. A rumbling sound shakes the
chamber from time to time, and ...

You swiftly attempt to penetrate the defenses of *Latren*, but miss completely.

A Shienaran Camp
A small outpost has been established here, but the defenses are weak. There is
a battered stockade barely standing, consisting of wooden stakes that show
signs of wear and tear and as well as hasty repairs. The camp stretches on,
further north, inside this wide space in the western ...

Melee thieves seem a bit too good, I just tore apart Latren (who was in abs/claymore)

Both of these skills always target the first person in the room in a group, might want to take a look at that.

Sure it is. If you read his original post, he said he wanted kick to land more frequently against characters with a higher defense. Sounds like a solid idea to me.

While thinking about ways to keep players active and give them something to do, I came up with the idea of achievements. Anyone who has spent any time on X-Box Live or played WoW recently will know of the concept immediately: basically, whenever you accomplish a certain feat, you would unlock an ...

Queen's Guard and Murandian Cavalry patrols west of Caemlyn also appear to not be grouping, but its possible they split each other up or something. The Captain's patrol inside Caemlyn is also not grouped

CTF patrol west of TV isn't working right at all (mobs not following, isn't resetting for the other side). Patrol in the zone north of TV (cut?) isn't grouping, nor is the one in Irongate in TV. I'll add more as I find them

That idea's not bad, but it would depend heavily on the intervals for interrupting the timer. For example, I don't think it should ever beat out an air scythe. Trying to balance a skill like that would take a lot of testing, and even then it could end up being too good.

Looks fine to me, he's a master in a full kit, he should be beating you. One option you have, although its a hassle, is you can carry a set of parry trinkets with you for when you need to avoid getting hit.

Yeah that sounds about right. Forcing them into stabwars is stupid. If you still want to stabwar, you can, but now there's other options too!

Bashing channelers are too good, something needs to be done about them. As for sanctuary, I think there's something funny about the way the damage reduction is done. Maybe its just me, but I feel like its reducing the damage my channelers take by a lot more than 15%

Or thieves could just accept that they aren't meant to be a primary combat class. In my view, a thief is a support character: they should be scouting, striking behind enemy lines, blocking, spamming doors, taking hits so bashers/channelers can do their damage, and doing damage where and when they ...

Yeah, that's what IRC is for!

Moving them to help raiders sounds wonderful. Perhaps giving them the ability to gate someone (without no quit!) back to more friendly areas would be appropriate as well.

So apparently there are these channeler mobs in the middle of PK zones that weave on people and can heal for money. This seems a little unbalancing to me personally, but I figured we could have a discussion about this and whether or not they should be moved elsewhere/removed. So discuss!

Yeah, that was pretty stupid. If you could actually bash me once in a while it would be less stupid, but I think I'd still beat you in straight up melee.

I also fought him while using a warrior with ~55 abs and a claymore and went just about even with him, despite his constantly fleeing off and ...

Your parry is too low. Before Vyldav began trying to balance out melee combat, I had a discussion with him and we determined that dodge bonus played too much of a role in avoiding hits, and that he was going to have its importance decreased. Whether or not it actually happened I don't know, but I ...
