(Note: this chronicle applies to three different guilds and has the approval of all three; so it is official information on all of them) Long ago, a chaotic and mysterious group known only as "The Akatsuki" appeared and wreaked havoc across Alora. They ravaged the land unchecked, overthrow...

We need randomized mob item drops and random properties spawning on mob items, like WoW and Diablo 2, but without giving up our crafting system. Randomly spawning good items is fun, and I think it would spice up the craft system if you had to hunt for enchantments instead of killing the same mobs ov...

Thats a HUGE waste of espace. Why would i max out my stats twice? Why wouldn't you for PvP? Strength is ultra important. As you found out. The Spell is what im mad about. I dont want to waste espace so that i wont get weakened by one spell. Poison is easily countered; you can easily prevent it from...

Even if evolution IS wrong, which it probably isn't, making an effort to study and correctly understand life and the universe is far more laudible than abandoning critical thinking and assuming that a fairy tale your parents told you is automatically true. Evolution is our best effort to understand ...

I think The Thrall's resistances should scale with level. +25 to all resistances is a huge bonus for a low-level character, but once the resist changes go in it becomes less and less useful at higher levels. By picking The Thrall, as of the resist change, you are trading a +5% complexity bonus for 3...

Mr. Moron, So these alleged "benefits" that you have shown are mostly defensive in nature. I will concede that point which is obvious to all. Now the question is whether these bonii come from the magical spells you must cast upon yourself to become a lich (obviosuly) or through other phys...

I'm taking The Pentagram, even though I'm an almost pure warrior and my character was designed specifically to have the best balance possible.

Grig seems very overpowered. With the significant movement speed bonus and the fact that retreat and cast do not share requirements, a caster using Grig would be untouchable by a melee character. Additionally, any character with Grig can control the flow of battle: their opponent cannot flee from th...

well, each time i do it, i still come up with the same result of seeing a cool bonus with having knight so, if my methods are flawed, those here who are posting and saying that knight doesnt work should logon to testing.dark-legacy.com and show me. (please) let's do it now before the patch goes liv...

So The Knight seems to be working properly, but its bonus is pitifully weak at high levels. How about this: Solution A) Leave it as it is, but add +15% balance(level 50) Solution B) Leave the reduced balance drain as it is and add +5% bonus to equilibrium(level 10) +5% bonus to equilibrium(level 20)...

Mr. Troll, you're almost completely wrong on the lich count. Torrim, You're almost completely wrong on the Lich count. In my DnD days almost all liches were evil and extremely high level mages or clerics sometimes being dual-classed. Not to mention becoming a lich gives inate -str, -con, -dex they b...

Yup; I've played a lot of game with liches and I love them. Being immortal, incredibly tough spellcasters who are generally very evil makes them a favorite for me. If you're going to leave them the way they are, I think you might still want to fix the automatically winning fort saves thing. If MR is...

Weak = lack of strength, weak != vulnerable. Liches may(or may not) be physically WEAK(as in, lack of physical strength), but their bodies are very, very tough, even without casting defensive spells on themselves(other than the permanent ones involved in becoming and advancing as a lich). And I'm no...

I want to give players the experience of playing a construct or a lich, without having to remove their distinction. Since liches are physically frail but compensate that with magic and no need for an intact cardial system i've decided to change the following things: - they keep their lack of race r...

That's odd, considering Celeborn said that it's slower balance drain, not faster balance recovery.

Also, two stars instead of four = 50%; The Knight is only 15%.

IF you are actually getting the effects you describe, it's probably not The Knight that's causing them, unless it's not working properly.

The starsign "The Knight" does not have any noticable effect on my balance. I am using a +25 balance inner peace, Autumn's Balancing Embrace III, and I have 50% equilibrium. I have tried attacking on both the testport and the mainport at the same time, with The Knight on the testport and o...

Unfortunately, it's just "theory", as the testport has been wizlocked all day and I was only able to spend about 15 seconds on it. Race runes are far more commonly used in defensive spells than offensive ones, and offensive spells also have to contend with MR. So yeah, you're right about y...

Don't worry, I'll be testing those for you tonight

I would like to point out the following issues with the Construct, Lich, and Vampire ancestries, as well as any other ancestry/race/starsign that gives the "undead" or "construct" racial categories: 1. Undead are immune to criticals, except from holy avengers. Constructs are comp...

if 75 blunt resistance does not mean 75% resistance blunt then what does it mean? for example. If someone were to hit me with 100 blunt damage. how much damage will be reduced if i had +75 blunt resistance? If that was your ONLY blunt resistance, you would take 57-58 damage, depending on how the ro...

Ranger is already the best class at this point in the game. I'm all ears if you care to explain your thoughts on that statement. I will admit that my first class was a ranger and fun building/grouping with him. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "best". However, currently I'm seeing rang...

for the hospic 25% HP increase does this 25% act on the base HP or the total HP(including equ) Also, if the player keeps on epiccing to gain HP, this 25% would then become larger and larger right with every epic level right? it is based on a characters level based HP. Does that include epic-level b...

for the hospic it says "faster wound healing. " If you are already a troll, how much faster is wound healing? Are they even stackable with the troll's HP regeneration? they stack with a new trolls HP generation. (starsign+new troll=old troll HP generation). Cele, you REALLY should make th...

or, not allow it in the first place, and not worry about it :) if a single class was allowed, it would /have/ to be at least close to being balanced with the other players, if it wasnt, it would always generate complaints, always. Or.. it would be used by what 1, two people, ever.. Is the work requ...

Then you're a much better player than most of the playerbase these days. We seem to have four kinds of players, when it comes to levelling: 1. those who grind through levelling using the most simple, obvious means and call anyone who does anything else a cheater 2. those who devise and use their own...
