The auction closed a few days ago - winners are posted. Mods please close topic.

95% of what I have done as protector is give heals. Now that the limited usefulness is made even less useful for that purpose, I find it insulting to my 40+ adepts and 39 worshipers that I can help them even less now. It took much effort on my part to achieve this status, and it takes even more to maintain it... but, when this 'fix' came along - which is only an out-of-game backlashes responding to in-game events (heaven forbid someone take a small stand against the two most powerful villains of the game) - I am finding it difficult to convince myself to continue (*claps for dst*). And I have spoken with several people and 'made a fuss' about how broken it is - but apparently not the right ones, or I was not the right person to be doing it. I also didn't have any experience with mp6 at the Time. But I'm not a fan of 'making a fuss' without shedding some light forward - so a few thoughts: The adept system- When I came into the realm it worked wonderfully. The adept system was used to connect new players with their own helpers, ones who would take the time to show them around, answer questions - kind of like a personal LHO who could take one deeper into the realm. Now with the 100 AD requirement, it has been reduced to just another requirement hoop for mp6. Prot-heal: Should be changed to either % of caster's or % of target's VE. Accessibility- These days the realm can only seem to hold 2 protectors - which maybe is its 'balance' right now, but I know there are a couple of dedicated fighters who deserve a chance to upgrade their creatures. They are even willing to pay each of their adepts to actualize their desires. While I think that this is tacky, it does show a certain desperation that has come from the lack of available opportunity. I know there are current and past mp6 players who probably have some really great suggestions and would be willing to help fix things (for real, and not just want to make bug 'fix' suggestions to be annoying).

The mp6 system is broken, has been for a long time. And yes, heals already suck - level 4 gives 4k max VE at best, but they are still marginally helpful for new players. [quote name='Chewett' timestamp='1345526352' post='120643'] however i would agree that only 2 casts day or so is small for heal, perhaps each one needs a different "max", murry did mention changes revolving mp6 a loooong time ago, perhaps "we" could do them starting with spells and what they do, but ideally of course this needs to be spearheaded by a mp6 [/quote] That would require collaboration, which I am sure the current protectors would be willing to do, but, there would have to be interest on the other end... Honestly, this 'improvement' happened after a day of me spamming the 'harmful' prot spells at Eon and dst. This is not about 'fixing' the protector spells, this is about who is able to pull some strings.... and I'm calling BS.

Unless the daily reset timer for protector spells has changed, it appears that protectors have had their spells limited from 20 casts of each spell per day to 20 casts of each spell per week. That is less than 2 heal spells available per day at that ratio. Really? The announcement made it sound like just the spell tree would be reset along with the other spells, not casts.

[quote name='dst' timestamp='1345303223' post='120401'] Why? Simple: Fang tried to revive fenrir (or at least took some steps in that direction). POE doesn't want fenrir alive so she plotted and acted in that direction aka killed the only person that so far did something about the revival. [/quote] You write wonderful fiction, dst. However, it is not too convincing. And what does this have to do with the topic of this thread?

[quote name='DARK DEMON' timestamp='1345211373' post='120332'] just to clarify, do all winners get the prot movelock stone, or only darkraptor? [/quote] How is this possible with one stone? It is up to Andrea to decide who gets it.

This is what was said by Ivo: [quote]Your death is imminent. Best give me Seigheart's leash before your killer finds you.[/quote] Where is the causation here which you so colorfully claim, Seig? Ivo said only that Fang was to die, and soon, and a suggestion was made by him. That is all. And you are clearly angry and upset - go talk a walk or something, cool off. What I wonder is why you haven't been so animated in-game --were you to be, it might make things more interesting. Just a thought.

I will sponsor this with a [b]Prot Movelock stone[/b]

What is interesting about colors is that they can be associated with personalities. Zyrxae, I wonder if any of the colors you came up with were ones chosen by their corresponding players.

Bumpity-bump. And auction will close Aug. 17

During the past few weeks I've walked into the PC several times to find it empty except for some confused new players. Sometimes there is not even a Live Help button on the right because there are no LHOs online! I'm not sure what's going on, but I'll try to spend more time there - hopefully some others will as well.

One suggestion: the text of intro/story-mode/etc. (i.e., *points at title of thread* - It's [i]restructuring[/i]!) should be edited for typos and grammatical errors. I have offered to help with this - I used to tutor English and writing - but was told that it would be a spoiler (even though I've already spoiled myself rotten and gone through each leg of story mode). The offer still stands.

Can we get an update regarding this quest? Still waiting for more submissions?

Yes, please close this topic mods - let's take this in-game. *evil grin*

If you do not have internet access at home, and that is where the WP codes are - then how are you able to fulfill the obligations of your role?

Gratz!

Funny, because you did not seem so patient when you replied saying you'll have the WP code to me in a few hours - immediately after you requested help with resurrecting you. I said I will not help you out-of-game, and since then you haven't replied in weeks... It is not a matter of patience, it is about accountability and being good on your word. And maybe, just maybe you'll consider what Chewett wrote - but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

My past conversations with other TK members involved them telling me to talk with Seig, because he was the leader and they had no control or even access to rewards. That is why this post was directed solely to Seig and not the TKs in general. And I'm sick of the struggle for accessing what should be available to competent quest makers. I don't have time for this... and it's unfair for quest winners to have to track you down and waste their time to claim their already tardy rewards from you. I accept apologies after the first time, but this is a pattern, like I said (see dream quest results thread for background).

Awiiya, It feels like MD is contracting day by day, and terribly so by the forces that swat away one's reasons for inhabiting it. Regardless of your public role status, you are tremendously valued by myself and many others for your presence and the unique shade you bring into the world. Even if you go completely inactive, your shadow and our memories of you will still be here for a very, very long time.
