Shattered Kingdoms

I'll be expecting to see everyone on flying mounts then.

A much needed change, thanks for the hard work Dulrik and imms.

The only thing I'm iffy about is magma spray completely ignoring MP, I thought if the cling ignored MP that would be fine. If the whole spell does, it's going to be very, very powerful.

I have not tested it however, so I won't complain until I see what actual sort of damage it puts out, and how much reflex still helps.

I haven't been on to see, but did the mid-spell bash get changed to lag or "Your spell has been interrupted!"? I would definitely hope it was interrupted. But yeah, all in all, this update is definitely a good thing.

Question concerning enchant: Does the material quality still improve at the same rate or does material quality wait 10 levels of enchantment before improving? (Just thinking aloud, but material quality is/was a sure-fire way to know if some plebe could keep the gear.)

Or GM priests will be asked to cast bless to counter it.

This makes me grin. Nice try.

QFT....I don't care if its my own quote..STFU

Does this mean no religion spells available to characters from NPCs? If so, yay!


Also yay!

EDIT: About new prone code and skills, you realise D that this update really made the Fist overpowered. If you summ up all the changes, a griffon fist shaman or perhaps even warlock are probably the hottest things out there. Unless of course such skills are disabled when prone, especially the master lvl skill of the Fist(which makes not much sense to be able to fire when prone).

A very nice change indeed. I look forward to PvP evolving around more than just spamming bash. Maybe we'll actually seem some real skill now!



Interesting little touches. Wonder exactly how much the damage was increased. Does this effect the warlock spell only, or also call lightning?



Handy.



Very sceptical about this one. If we're going back to the magma era of the past, this just made warlocks absolutely insane. I guess we do have reflex now, but that's quite difficult to get. Also, centaurs are going to be feeling the pain of that even more. Especially the law NPCs of a certain faction. Do you plan to add more means to access resist elements via items or potions?



Fantastic and quite newbie friendly.



Was that necessary? Never actually followed a discussion of people complaining about it. Nice, I suppose!



Second thing I am a bit mind-boggled about. I like the fact that it gives griffons and sprites a much needed advantage, but I can think of at least one class that is getting hit with the nerf bat through this one. What exactly counts as magical? Items and herbs too? If so, it might leave open the possibility for future tweaks and actually make certain herbs quite popular.



Good, fatigue meant very little up to now. Hopefully, this will prevent folk from running around with haste/gstr all the time.



Although it's a blow for all tribunals, I am quite fond of this change. It also makes religious spells actually unique.

I personally think this was a much needed change, and a needed small buff to swashbucklers and griffons/sprites. It's a bit ridiculous when -everyone- is flying -all the time-. Who do you think got nerfed? Beyond the obvious merc/barb.(who needed the nerf anyways)
