| 2025-10-23 11:44 | Caree | make is harder is do-able. just that everyone has to run mutants and no new lord pls |
| 2025-10-23 11:44 | Eldorado | and 'make it harder to the point of impossibility outside of a 2 hour window a couple times a week when we can actually get 15 people together' is frankly, a terrible idea |
| 2025-10-23 11:44 | Mepharic | brandon goes invis and hits like a truck :P |
| 2025-10-23 11:44 | Boneitis | It's a little disheartening to basically wipe to him every time he's hanging w/ Duke Z :) |
| 2025-10-23 11:43 | Eldorado | but 'make it harder to make it harder' is frankly, not a good idea. |
| 2025-10-23 11:43 | Tyberos | Zaffer, RE: Brandon, heard |
| 2025-10-23 11:43 | Eldorado | I would say 'keep an eye to accessibility of the majority of content based on current active playerbase' |
| 2025-10-23 11:43 | Tyberos | I concur |
| 2025-10-23 11:43 | Eldorado | I wouldn't say 'any' run by 'any' groupsize is a good choice. |
| 2025-10-23 11:41 | Zaffer | tbh, just a little tweak to Brandon's spec to make it a little less of a nuisance would be a start :) |
| 2025-10-23 11:41 | Caree | atsiem's looking forward to turning his monitor into a mirror |
| 2025-10-23 11:41 | Caree | make it happens asap |
| 2025-10-23 11:41 | Atsiem | hardcore would be fun :D |
| 2025-10-23 11:41 | Tyberos | Is that about accurate? |
| 2025-10-23 11:41 | Tyberos | So what I'm hearing is: "Make every run doable by any group size," and "hardcore mode" are two things people are interested in |
| 2025-10-23 11:39 | Eldorado | naked drcs are in atsiem's future |
| 2025-10-23 11:38 | Atsiem | can we go back to avatar hardcore mode? I want that now :P |
| 2025-10-23 11:38 | Eldorado | until it isn't |
| 2025-10-23 11:38 | Caree | yup nefas. agree |
| 2025-10-23 11:37 | Nefas | solo play is unique and can be fun anf challenging. i run incgroups because the play is fun in a different way |
| 2025-10-23 11:36 | Caree | rm - real mud |
| 2025-10-23 11:36 | Caree | rm example |
| 2025-10-23 11:35 | Caree | that's an example |
| 2025-10-23 11:35 | Caree | why do i run w a group? |
| 2025-10-23 11:35 | Caree | all i asked for was a simple "track", and nothing |
| 2025-10-23 11:34 | Zaffer | I did lord a spr mag w/ 0 deaths. Went all the way to 999 too :) |
| 2025-10-23 11:33 | Group | Sounds like a way to delete a lord tbh :p |
| 2025-10-23 11:33 | Eldorado | several people don't join groups because they get what they want on their own one day a month. seems like an equally logical fix to the problem |
| 2025-10-23 11:33 | Caree | others |
| 2025-10-23 11:33 | Atsiem | that sounds fun actually :P |
| 2025-10-23 11:33 | Caree | group, it's 3 |
| 2025-10-23 11:33 | Caree | 3 |
| 2025-10-23 11:33 | Group | How about we have a "hardcore mode" for those players who want increased difficulty -> you die/alt gets deleted |
| 2025-10-23 11:32 | Eldorado | the *easist* day of them all? you want to make this game harder? eliminate multi day first. |
| 2025-10-23 11:32 | Group | I look forward to every day being multiday with the 5 remaining players |
| 2025-10-23 11:32 | Caree | Today? |
| 2025-10-23 11:32 | Eldorado | multi day? |
| 2025-10-23 11:31 | Eldorado | char limit apparently. even more infrequent and soloing is made impossible through design or rules, what's left? |
| 2025-10-23 11:30 | Eldorado | difficulty is fine and good. easy is boring. but difficulty needs to be accessible or it will just kill the game. I solo because it's difficult. I don't care about the rewards, truly. it's a way to play the game when the active player base doesn't support leading or grouping or doing something interesting. or when I don't want to deal with people. if grouping becomes impossible or even more infrequent an |
| 2025-10-23 11:30 | Tyberos | And you have a few groupies that get it ooc w/o bloodhound |
| 2025-10-23 11:29 | Tyberos | Nibnobe gets track, does he not? |
| 2025-10-23 11:29 | Caree | the key advisor |
| 2025-10-23 11:29 | Sumnissan | these people put in long hours to make this as best as it can be |
| 2025-10-23 11:29 | Tyberos | I can transfer you to an advisor but I'm not sure if it's the correct one |
| 2025-10-23 11:28 | Caree | sor gets no track |
| 2025-10-23 11:28 | Caree | can u transfer us to advisor |
| 2025-10-23 11:28 | Caree | tyberos.. |
| 2025-10-23 11:28 | Tyberos | The constructive criticism of the MUD writ large is 100% appropriate, calling each other idiots is not |
| 2025-10-23 11:28 | Sumnissan | are u able to explaim it to me who os an idiot? |
| 2025-10-23 11:27 | Sumnissan | so anyways |
| 2025-10-23 11:27 | Sumnissan | channelhis says different |
| 2025-10-23 11:27 | Sumnissan | but as for the too easy aspect got me curiousity |
| 2025-10-23 11:27 | Miscreant | not he is the bar |
| 2025-10-23 11:26 | Miscreant | in my defense i was asking him to set the bar |
| 2025-10-23 11:26 | Sumnissan | reap the rewards |
| 2025-10-23 11:26 | Sumnissan | if u spent the time |
| 2025-10-23 11:26 | Caree | That's a good reason to solo |
| 2025-10-23 11:26 | Sumnissan | uh huh okie dokie |
| 2025-10-23 11:26 | Tyberos | I don't believe I asked what you were doing, I believe I said "Be nice" |
| 2025-10-23 11:26 | Sumnissan | soooo |
| 2025-10-23 11:25 | Sumnissan | i jist eacting |
| 2025-10-23 11:25 | Tyberos | Be nice both of you |
| 2025-10-23 11:25 | Sumnissan | if being smart is like u |
| 2025-10-23 11:24 | Sumnissan | u welcome |
| 2025-10-23 11:24 | Miscreant | you set the bar |
| 2025-10-23 11:24 | Sumnissan | what scale u using to jidge idiots |
| 2025-10-23 11:24 | Miscreant | and idiots |
| 2025-10-23 11:23 | Sumnissan | it has its moments |
| 2025-10-23 11:23 | Miscreant | they solo cause of afk people |
| 2025-10-23 11:23 | Sumnissan | i went tank route |
| 2025-10-23 11:23 | Sumnissan | i dont have a mutant caster per say |
| 2025-10-23 11:23 | Miscreant | i know just stating i have no dog in the fight but the game is to easy |
| 2025-10-23 11:23 | Sumnissan | like i said i assumed |
| 2025-10-23 11:23 | Eldorado | ask the mutants why they solo |
| 2025-10-23 11:23 | Sumnissan | i get that now |
| 2025-10-23 11:23 | Eldorado | we weren't talking about solo play |
| 2025-10-23 11:22 | Miscreant | im not ignoring anything, i have no mutants and i dont solo |
| 2025-10-23 11:22 | Group | Make it harder; people who don't have lots of time to play who only get a little bit of time to play *love* failing to complete runs with their limited time. They'll eventually stop playing. It's for the best really. |
| 2025-10-23 11:21 | Eldorado | it is. but there needs to be a balance and some of the ideas being floated do not reflect that. this conversation needs context that you're ignoring or intentionally removing |
| 2025-10-23 11:21 | Miscreant | can skip it now that alastar is dead |
| 2025-10-23 11:21 | Imptastic | and we didnt have one |
| 2025-10-23 11:21 | Imptastic | bld was designed to make up for lower player count |
| 2025-10-23 11:20 | Miscreant | also poor design, can skip him |
| 2025-10-23 11:20 | Mepharic | they just wiped to 1 mob :P |
| 2025-10-23 11:20 | Miscreant | i know, needs ro be challanging tho |
| 2025-10-23 11:19 | Caree | so what can mutants do, except get more mutanty |
| 2025-10-23 11:19 | Eldorado | no problem with the game getting harder. it's gotten a lot harder. but there is a point where the design has to be reflective of the player base. you only have so many people online. you can't lock significant portions of the content out by pushing difficulty and design past what the player base can realistically do |
| 2025-10-23 11:18 | Miscreant | difficulty can be scaled back |
| 2025-10-23 11:18 | Mepharic | been there done that :P |
| 2025-10-23 11:18 | Eldorado | well that horse is out of the barn |
| 2025-10-23 11:18 | Miscreant | it has to be a give and take either thr game gets harder or the mutants get weaker |
| 2025-10-23 11:17 | Miscreant | they wouldnt have made the game so hard if there wasnt mutants |
| 2025-10-23 11:17 | Miscreant | the point im trying aff |
| 2025-10-23 11:03 | Zaffer | quick 9, c 'faerie fog', and hope for the best! |
| 2025-10-23 11:03 | Caree | the mobs still hit us when we are invis |
| 2025-10-23 11:03 | Mepharic | think he was left last reboot :P |
| 2025-10-23 11:03 | Caree | that's like so unfair |
| 2025-10-23 11:03 | Caree | he is invis! |
| 2025-10-23 11:03 | Zaffer | Brandon is a mean dude. |
| 2025-10-23 10:46 | Caree | beckon lordrun 2e. killing brandon |
