Friday at 04:16 PM2 days comment_206667 I would like to suggest a revision of some of the new tag titles and descriptions, especially the ones in Necrovion, as their texts, in my opinion, are contradictory to some core MD concepts.While I have never been a Necrovion citizen, its concepts have always interested me and my character has been historically close to a good number of people from the land. The taming branch, in particular, feels very disconnected from what I know of the land and its creatures. I'll go over the ones that caught my eye, but I'd like to hear from everyone. Feel free to point out other tags that might look strange or perhaps tell me that I'm overthinking things and should ignore these.Taming BranchBrood Tender: "feeds and waters the young creatures of Necrovion, the ones that hatch from the taint". Does that refer to the Dark creature? If by any chance this might refer to a Shade, what of the information in the AL that "shades can not cross water" (https://magicduel.com/page/AdventureLog/view/97 and https://magicduel.com/page/AdventureLog/view/429)? Could shades be watered?Shade Handler: this one is strange to me. Shades handled with a rod and a calm voice? Moving them from one place to another without losing any? Like sheep? Is that possible?Dust Drover: this one may imply that shades feed where liquid dust pools (Deathmarrow, I guess)? "drives shades back fed"? "counts them"? Looks like sheep again.Soul Twister: nothing too drastic here, but "Twists souls at the stone of the twisted souls" sounds way too sloppy to my taste.Memory BranchDust Sifter: "sifts the dust of Necrovion through fine cloth for the grains that shine". If by dust we mean liquid dust, that just does not seem like a thing to me. "...still tastes it", taste liquid dust? What would that imply?Shade Listener: I actually like this one a lot, but again, the tag here bears heavy implications in terms of MD lore.Dust Distiller: distil liquid dust? Is that doable? Blades quenched in liquid dust? That sounds like something that'd do a lot to a person.Dust Refiner: "refines liquid dust until it is clear enough to set into metal". Like the previous one, is that doable?There are some other tags that caught my attention for different reasons, I'll list them here:Ferry Hand: does that one imply the person can reach the Angien Shrine? Should that particular tag open the scene to the player? That would be cool, I guess, but perhaps too powerful.Mist Bottler: now that the strange mist is gone, should that tag remain? The rest of its branch seems fine, though.Let me know what you think. Report
Saturday at 05:06 PM1 day Root Admin comment_206678 thanks, i will check these properly next week.. at least from what you say here some could really use different wording. Mist bottler should be gone/replaced indeed.ld distiller would become heat contaminator, same thing, but better describing 'distilation' of ld Report
