take out permadeath, i hate rolling a new character every time

can you let me eroleplay a little next game...

Could we get paranormal classes that are worth a damn? The current ones aren't worth playing unless you're in it for scamming potential.

What's up with the latest 'Economy Arc'? All my characters are constantly fucked for money. I mean, now that you put that stupid 'Money = Power' stuff in, it's almost impossible to have a meaningful character anymore.

>>13722782
Character Creation really needs to be points-by as default. It'll help keep things fair and characters balanced. No-one wants to play an underpowered character for eighty years straight.

The current magic systems sucks, I hate always playing humans, and raise the average hit points. And for the love of god, double the average Charisma.

>>13722791
Man, that would totally fuck up the balance. We've built so much of the metagame around avoiding it.

There are entire in-game industries dedicated to removing certain characters.

>>13722782
Can you C/D the rumors that you're going to be closing the server soon? They've been saying it pretty much since the beginning, but I'd still like an official word.

Allow me to actually roll my character. Randomly generated stats are fucking bullshit, I can't even decide my own gender.

>>13722824
>points-buy, rather.

Also, I'll second >>13722813. It'll make the game much more interesting.

God=GW
Dinosaurs never existed=GW's thoughts on squats.

Oh my.

The game is good, god. I have no complaints.

I'd really like some fair character generation. I mean, you roll the stats and it's a crapshoot. It's like 90% of the time if you aren't rolling lucky on just your starting location the game almost isn't worth playing. Yeah, you have a huge game world, but only small parts of it are worth a damn.

Women's AI is still unbelievably fucked, are you ever going to fix it?

>>13722782
Yeah, I want to stop playing and leave for the world outside of the game.

Ok?

I'd really like character progression to be faster, so we can do epic level raids more often. The grind in this game is terrible.

Perfect just the way it is big guy. It's got everything, tragedy, beauty, action, and it's all just so nuanced and complicated. If I had one complaint it would be that it's a little too grimdark at times.

Could you make the Kinsey Scale chart easier to find, maybe list it in the table of contents? Half my players didn't even know you have to roll on it at creation and assume you can choose your sexuality at any time. One guy actually tried to change it mid-game!

It's not realistic enough.

I can't find the exit button, can you make the process for ending the game a little less painful?

Character creation is random and ability is highly influenced on lineage and location. About as unbalanced as possible as though it was meant that way. Had to reroll several times before I landed outside of India.

>>13722877
Speaking of grind, you give us so many options up front, but you don't give us any kind of idea what might be useful. Most everyone I know gets to level 20 and just fucking screwed because we've tried to balance ourselves and we realize that now that things open up we should have specialized like crazy. A little warning would be nice.

This game fucking sucks. I can't even quit the game with out you trying to punish me afterwards. I mean I start playing and you fuck me over with stats then you railroad me for 18 years and when I'm finally no longer being railroaded you leave me by myself. FUCK YOU

While I suppose the system works, I feel it's been milked dry.

My biggest issue lies in the plot hooks, it's just feels to me you have to completely min/max your entire character to even pick up on most of the basic ones.

And let's not even get started on class balance.

I'm curious as to how I can sign up for any up and coming closed betas you may be starting that use a similar system, but hopefully geared towards a more general audience and not those looking to crunch stats and nothing else.

A last word, please rework the money system, it's too difficult to set up a meaningful amount (or enough to get by depending on class traits), and it feels almost pointless to even have once you've acquired past a certain point.

Just my thoughts, truly I was happier before the last major update anyhow so take it for what it's worth.

Write better fluff for the Americans. In earlier editions, they were a world-conquering race of warrior-philosophers and now they're just mustache-twirling bad guys motivated by a boring, generic religion.
I thought you'd learned your lesson when you lost 6,000,000 players doing practically the same thing.

I hate being the guy asking for things to be simpler, but this is getting overwhelming. I spend so much time on my class, and getting money, and leveling up, and trying to stay alive, and get loots, and what not only to find out that my entire blood stream is infected because I forgot to brush my teeth. I mean there's micromanagement and then there's this!

It would be nice if you could add some NPCs to alter the looks of our avatars. I'm not quite happy with what I picked now, but all you can find are other players that learned some pathetic hacks.

I'm not really comfortable with hacks, and it's really hard to find a good one anyway. One bad one and you can fuck yourself.

>>13722991

This. Game is too micro heavy, and the objectives are obscured by three and four degrees to the actual players. Implementation of a questing system that's worth a damn and some simple character automation would go a long way toward making this more playable. And while I dig minimalism, no HUD at all makes inventory management impossible.

Turn down the breeding impulse on Humans a bit. It's almost impossible to pass the willpower checks against pussy/cock and I'm tired of watching helplessly while my characters do stupid shit just to fulfill an urge they can handle themselves for free.

There really needs to be a tutorial for sex. It's barely mentioned in the manual, and I'm still stuck on the "asking for a first date" level.

>>13723005
Oh.

While you're at it. Do you think you can close some of the holes in capitalism? It's not a complete disaster yet, but I worry it will be if people keep abusing it. I think competitiveness is fine, but this is a little ridiculous.

Please allow some feats support for swapping out the Ability scores for Courtship rolls against females. Being only Charisma based with a heavy Gold modifier is balls

It seems like a lot of players are confused about what classes to spec in based on their characters genders. We're seeing a lot of poorly spec'd characters as a result, the buffs from *Modernity* seem to be misleading a lot of players. If you could simply clarify things that would be great.

Simplify the weather rules, nobody understands that shit. One guy in my group minmaxed for meteorology and still can only tell half of the time whether it'll rain tomorrow.

Four words: Remove the level cap.

Hue hue hue, we find american sight

buy gold from us, none cheaper

We also provide powerleveling services

I'm totes good actually.

I've got a bitching on how incredibly hard it is to pick up the 'doctor' profession since the past few patches. It used to be take a couple of science skills here, some human interactions skills there, and you're good to go.

Nope.avi

Now, I've got to grind for 8(!) levels just to get out as a member of the class, and not as some kind of rookie - and then I'm looking at constantly doing raids and quests to keep my abilities up.

All of this for the healer? Really? Like, one of the most essential units in the game? And the gold isn't worth the fucking shit we have to put up with, because most of said gold is spent paying back the massive debts we get from the skill-tutors.

TL;DR - why the fuck did you make the doctor class so fucking hard since the last patches?

>>13722782
Can I ask you to limit the choices on intelligence development a bit, please? I mean, just removing the obviously negative ones would up the IQ of the general player populous by a great deal.

And, while you're at it, could make blatant stupidity a bannable offense? Not like perma-ban, but like, maybe a week ban and losing some of their money?

Nerf guns. Buff melee.

>>13722782
Your game fucking sucks and the community is worse than any game I have ever played ever.

Would you please translate the newer editions for more countries? I've got friends in Zimbabwe who are still playing 2nd and I can guarantee they'd each buy every splat if it was in their language. Hell, there are people in Russia who still have to go through the bloody sheet ritual to take levels in Wife!

HOW DOES I STOP REINCARNATING!? I WANT A FRESH CHARACTER, NONE OF THIS KARMA BULLSHIT

So are you taking apps for admins yet?

>>13723126
Gun control isn't enough of a nerf for you?

You really need to nerf "state power".

>>13723151
Achieve Nirvana

>>13723151
you gotta max karma before you die; the dhali lama npc should guide you through that

>>13723161
Gun control does nothing! Guns are still too lethal and high level characters can remove the limitation for everyone.

>>13723151
Sounds like you're playing the Hindu or Buddhist Table top games, I'd ask them.

>>13723161
as if gun control does shit. and melee requires a hundred times the training for even the slightest level over basic, and even a full-spec melee can't kill a guy with a gun

How does I recover soul again? I'm sure there was a way to do it, but I can't find it in the appendix or the index. I really need it again because the Faustian deal I took needs to be reworded.

>>13722852
This was oddly humbling, and kind of made me realize life is pretty fucking great.

>>13723105
>TL;DR - why the fuck did you make the doctor class so fucking hard since the last patches?

The Capitalism expansion and the bureaucracy powercreep exacerbate this problem. Most of what you're looking for could be fixed with an overhaul of those. Modernity introduced a blindingly huge number of sub-specs for Doctor, several of which weren't playtested for shit.

Is it just me, or are they "health penalties" for alcohol and drugs utter bullshit!? It's not like they add to your ability to do anything. Some of us just like roleplaying as derpy jackoffs every now and then. In my opinion, it makes the game much more enjoyable for everyone. It's bad enough we have the uberstat-fags putting 'law' penalties on us, but when you force me to buy a new liver every twentieth level things begin to get ridiculous! I mean these things are literally everywhere! Most of the in game economy depends on them! Stop destroying my characters because I actually support the game as you designed it. Either remove drugs/booze entirely or cut back on the penalties.

Fix the AI on cop NPCs. I saw a pedophile actually walk into their aggro radius completely unbothered yesterday. I waited a minute for them to do anything and they just stood there. Then when I attacked it, they started shooting at ME.

Steven Harper needs to be banned from the Canada server before he pushes it the rest of the way into ruin. Can we has democracy back, plz?

Anyone else feel like the Lawyer class is overpowered?

Not only do they have one of the highest Wealth ratings, but they can meet the prereqs for the most powerful prestige classes like Congressman and President a lot easier than most classes. And their Lawsuit ability can often destroy a low-level Businessman or Doctor in one hit.

How the fuck is that balanced?

>>13723247
What do you expect? Being a pedophile isn't illegal. That's like saying it's illegal to think robbing a convenience store might be enjoyable.

My Childhood Friend Life-Path isn't working right. The bonuses to Social checks don't seem to make an impact and she's always ogling the guys who have naturally high CHA, even though she's supposed to receive a 5+My highest ability score bonus to her resistance.

>>13723280
They're balanced by the alignment restriction: Eviler than evil.

Look, would be nice if you'd make character ressurection possible/more common. Most of the fanbase doesn't even know if respawns are possible. What's the point of buying credits for chargen if a random event could take it away?

Stuff like updating the avatars at chargen would help too. There're entire communities of upset fans who got the gender wrong at chargen and don't want to start again from scratch. And then there're users like Michael Jackson...

I have to say, at first I was really disappointed. The first 19 sessions were a real pain in the ass, but now I'd have to say I love this game. I've started specializing properly and I've even gained a Party Member: Girlfriend. She may level up to Wife Class in a couple sessions or as soon as I finish my Education: Engineer skill. Awesome game dude - too bad its going to end in another sixty sessions or so. Think I can replay this character? I really am starting to love him.

>>13723280
Those aren't' prestige classes they just are a bitch if you dont have some skill the Lawyer does.

Can you add more romance plots? The minimum stat requirements on the current ones are outrageous, and it's hard to focus on the other quests when these ones have a time limit.

>>13723287
Seconded. I'm playing female and I have the same problem with mine. Must be a math problem.

The in-game restrictive timescale is too intrusive. I play games for fun. I don't want it be a job. I spend several hours a week trying to level up my character and accomplishing missions, but it never seems to matter. There are always jackoff's with no life who seem to do better. Don't these people ever sleep!? I have other things to do than work on my character stats. It's bad enough that so much of my gold reserves have to go stat trainers from previously levels. I'm already at level 24 and I won't have my current profession's training paid off until level 31!!! I honestly wonder what the point is?

WHY IS THERE NO WAY TO INCREASE CHARISMA!? YOU CAN ONLY REMOVE PENALTIES, WHICH JUST MEANS THAT THOSE WHO HAD HIGH CHARISMA ALL ALONG STILL PROFIT

Can you fix the alignment system? Its hard to see through all the shades of gray

Not to metagame, but someone archive this shit. it's golden

>>13723387
I'm still rocking Lawful Good myself, but you need some kind of a mentor to get into the alignment, otherwise the best you can do is "Well Intentioned"

Make better monsters so we don't have to fight each other all the time for XP. We took out those shitty ones like Smallpox and the Sabertooth tiger a while ago

Archive this shit NOW!

i'd like an identifiable win condition please.. some way of measuring progress so i know what on earth i'm supposed to be actually doing. i must have skipped the opening scenes by accident as i have no idea where im supposed to be going or doing.

What's the deal with the massive penalties to Social Esteem that come with certain Hobby and Interest picks? Shouldn't flavor/RP stuff like that be pretty much mechanically neutral?

>>13723385
>I actively refuse to learn how to be more social, I consider my complete lack of grooming and intent to inform everyone I meet of my level 20 paladin is normal behavior

>>13723449

Yeah, I fuck dogs all the time. I mean, they're all NPCs, and weren't anyone's property. I don't understand why the community gets so butthurt over it.

Too much grinding. Can we have more sci-fi elements, and make them available starting at lower levels/for more classes? The Ipod items are flashy, but really don't do much. Something like jetpacks or those robot maid things would be great and really appeal to older fans.

Muslims, the kenders of D&D

>>13723452
Listen, man, I went through the goddamn hoops and made my checks to negate my -6 Charisma penalty, but that still leaves me at a +0 Modifier, and I can't progress any further because THERE IS NO WAY TO IMPROVE CHARISMA

I keep reading everywhere in the damn fluff how the Educator class is so great, respected, and in demand. Whenever I start a session though, there is freaking NOTHING for me to do, and don't go off with my dual class because that's just as useless, I only took it because I thought they'd synergize well.

better avatar change support. I don't want to rely on a surgeon's skill check and still get something half-assed when he succeeds.

Man, this game is fucking boring. Where are the aliens or monsters? Current tech level is shit. And don't get me started on the magic system.

I keep getting a bunch of flak from idiots who are clinging to the errata manuals from previous editions; can you find a way to introduce a full-on errata manual and clear up this whole "religious" thing?

>>13723503
>protip: caps lock adds a -3 modifier to CHA.

I can't trigger a romance flag. Not even with the ones who have 8 CHA. What do?

>>13723503
>Wahhh, I fixed what was wrong with me, that should be enough, right?
No, you dumb fucking faggot. You think basketball stars learn to walk and then never do anything else? You have to use it or lose it with EVERYTHING in life you fat little stinking faggot. Learn how to talk to people. Learn how to work people. Learn how to be more charismatic.

Can you PLEASE release the Singularity expansion already? I've been waiting for fucking ever.

>>13723503

>doesnt know about gold as a CHAR modifier

>mfw when

More magic. And not that, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" crap. If I wanted that, I'd play Science. I want real, unexplainable magic

>>13723452
>I consider my complete lack of grooming and intent to inform everyone I meet of my level 20 paladin is normal behavior
No dude, he knows about that shit -- that's the "removing penalties" he mentioned.
But there's a lot that goes into social skills besides that, and most of it is all but impossible to improve. And the worst part is, it's a vicious cycle -- if you have low social skills to start with, you're much more likely to acquire penalties as a consequence of failed social encounters, especially in the lower levels. The Low Self-Esteem affliction is a particularly nasty one -- it's a really common penalty for failed social encounters in the lower levels, the save DC is absurdly high, and it's damn near impossible to get rid of for good.

Introduce some new races.

Like thri-kreens.

how do I escape working 55 hours a week?

open to any suggestions at all here

Sleeping regenerates fatigue way too slowly. You practically spend a third of your time laying there and watching your brain defrag. Is there some more efficient method of regaining fatigue and clarity that I've been missing?

>>13723542
I can't! There's no more Charisma Penalty Negators in my class list, and I don't qualify to multiclass in the classes that do have any more. Not that it would matter because you only get one Stat Boost and you have to roll randomly for it during character generation.

>>13723556
That's why I play the bro class. I love being able to remove debuffs like that.

>>13723428

There's some really nasty monsters in Africa and especially Australia.

Though if you plan on going to the Australian wilds you'd better make damn sure you have high Poison Resistance. Nearly every creature there has some sort of CON-draining attack.

>>13723556
No, we're dispensing with the metagame lingo so I can purge this goddamn /r9k/ bullshit that needs to die a horrible screaming death a thousand times. FUCK that shit. You want to be more charismatic? HERE, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=How+to+become+more+charismatic

CONGRATULATIONS, the start of finding your way to being more Charismatic. You wanna hide behind bullshit excuses about "Oh I have low self esteem" and "but if i do something wrong i'll never get better" and actually improve instead of whining like the petulant manchild you're actively trying to be.

>>13723580
Leave Korea, that zone sucks anyway, unless you're there to farm insanity.

>>13723555

shouldve rolled a character with lower INT then. high INT shifts 'magic' events towards 'science'

>>13723580
Become Japanese,ib work 80+

cyborg perks are still king guys. who gives a shit if it adds on a few charisma/sense penalities (you can work around that, pic related) ...you take em right and you can break the game like nobodies business.

>>13723614
Dude, one more time, that only negates penalties. You can't gain a bonus unless you effectively "negate" over ten points of Penalties, and even then, it's only a +1 bonus to some Skill checks, not a Charisma boost.

>>13723246
They're in the poisons table for a reason. You're supposed to use them on OTHER people and watch their mental/social resistances drop. It might even help the guy who keeps whining about his charisma.

>>13723542
The difference is that training Cha-based skills carries a pretty serious risk of some nasty penalties on a failed check, which you don't get with other skills. You want to grind your Basketball skill? You practice, not too big a deal. Eats up time, sure, but there aren't many penalties except on a crit fail, and even a failed attempt can still be fun to attempt.
You want to grind your Cha-based skills? Every failed check reduces your Esteem rating with a person, often by a large margin. By the time you manage to get even a little bit of improvement, you've ruined your reputation with dozens of NPCs and PCs alike, and generally had a pretty damn miserable time.
And Cha is one of the most widely applicable stats in the game. The system is all kinds of fucked up.

>>13723231
> implying pre-modern doctors was anything more than an exercise in quackery

>>13723630
Actually I think we need an update on those. I keep seeing hints that the next update will include god-tier shit, and it's never in it.

Of course, some homebrew systems have gotten pretty far, but I'd like an official one.

>>13723650
Are you considering the maximum possible value to be the base? If so, then there's no way to improve any other stat either, by your logic.

>Lifting weights doesn't improve strength, it only removes your penalties!

Shut up.

>>13723590
Bro Class is best Class. Thanks so much for you and your kind.

>>13723614
Can we get a proper RP server? I hate these meta game fucks who power level and don't play along.

it seems too hard to get into any decent factions... its like the game is tilted towards people who started ~20 phases earlier, they own/run everything and they dont seem to be in a hurry to leave.. and im sick of subjective elevation to membership. i want to be rewarded because of what i do, not because of who i know

Make modding easier. I shouldn't have to go through Yog Sothoth every time I want to do anything of the sort.

>>13723675
Did I say Strength? No, I said Charisma. Charisma has different rules, like the Resource and Gold modifier.

Can you please implement instantaneous travel between Allied Nations? I want to go to America but the cost in time spent doing those shitty bureaucracy minigames to get the papers to go there on a fucking two week visit is fucking balls to the wall bullshit.

>>13723706
Well of course you'll be unable to improve charisma because you have no idea how.

>>13723716
I read the rulebook, son. You can't improve Charisma, only negate penalties. What you roll is what you get

>>13723663

Modernityfag detected.

Apparently you never played Antiquity. The Greeks and Chinese had shit down millennia before Modernity rolled out. Sure, a lot of that was lost with Dark Ages / Crusades, and Mezo never got them at all. But Chinese Doctor was HAXX right around the Anno Domini patch.

>>13723710
Necessary evil, man. The terrorist fluff means it's in-game 'necessary'. Besides, the mexican class can get around that, either recruit one with cash or multiclass into drug lord.

>>13723659
Once again, faggot. We are dropping the gamespeak to discuss your obvious problem openly and clearly.

The world is large, there are a lot of people in it. If you go talk to the gas station attendant and make a flub? it doesn't ruin your life. She'll forget it in 10 minutes, and a normal person would too. You sit there agonizing about it, thinking she's telling everyone you have a small penis.

Basketball players practice in games that don't matter. Charismatic people practice with people that don't matter. Go to a mall. Go tell a girl she's got a cute sweater.
BAM, MOTHERFUCKER.
MOTHERFUCKING BAM.
Wether you succeeded or failed (like you're telling yourself you will right now, because even the very idea of success is too insane for you to consider as you gorge yourself on the fat teat of defeatism), IT DOESN'T FUCKING AFFECT YOUR LIFE. If you fuck up royal, like slip and yank her shirt off while throwing a coke into someone's face? She'll forget it in a few *days*. YOU will probably go kill yourself at that point. So either way, net win for the world, you either get better at socializing and stop acting like a faggot, or you kill yourself and stop this pathetic snivelling.

>>13723746
You still think you get a gold modifier, so obviously you haven't.

I paid XP towards getting my Extraordinary Destiny feature! Why isn't it coming into play? I could have bought several much cheaper things by now and gotten immediate results.

tl;dr When does my Destiny Feature kick in? I've had it for 13 levels now.

More balance for INT based characters please. Including a magic system would be kickass.

Right now there's no reason to play anything other than high CHA characters, as CHA is the only way to be successful at anything without tedious tedious grinding.

Or at least let us distribute our own stats instead of one roll 3d6 in order no rerolls.

>>13723783
If you are making the joke I think you are, LOL!
If not, LOL!

>>13723763
Dude. GTFO this thread and reread the rules.

>>13723773
The Gold modifier exists, it's under the Effects of Resources table.

>>13723786
Actually, a lot of INT, WIS, and in some (rarer) cases STR based classes exist. Admittedly, INT classes take longer to get cash, but they keep the flow, it's much less varied. STR is very, very hard to do, but one of the most satisfying in-game.

And WIS is crucial for playing Bro class, which (while not monetarily viable) increases character happiness loads.

>>13723614

>this goddamn /r9k/ bullshit that needs to die a horrible screaming death a thousand times. FUCK that shit.

>bullshit excuses

>petulant manchild

Stellar examples of high Charisma there, bro.

>>13723815
Go cry while you touch yourself. The thread continues on without me, and I'm not letting /r9k/ bullshit take root on this board any further than it has.

>>13723783

whoa dude, did you read the instructions? Extraordinary Destiny was never implemented.. you sunk points into a deactivated feature!

>>13723762
Fuck that shit. Mexican class is almost impossible to use sucessfully, so only hardmode and first timers take it. I'm trying for a good end route, Drug Lord class gives a +10 notoriety modifier with the authorities, and makes it more likely to be targeted by guys who've been grinding combat for most of their playthroughs. I'm just trying to complete the first step in an emigration arc.

>>13723783

whoa dude, did you read the devlog? Extraordinary Destiny was never implemented.. you sunk points into a deactivated feature!

>>13723851
FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

My CHA modifier is shit, but I got the robust genes feat.

Too bad I don't get many opportunities to put it to use.

I think next time I'll roll a Russian.

>>13723840
>Oh shit, someone talked down to me while I lied that I can never improve, I better say they are as bad too! Being social means they'd never be mean to me!
Go choke on a dick. Coddling you isn't going to get you anywhere. You're so entrenched in the idea that "you can't improve, you can only remove penalties", that if your blood doesn't get up, you'll just sit there, crying and moaning about how unfair life is being to you while you do nothing.

>>13723856
Ugh, man, good luck. That feature really needs streamlining, took my friend like 10 sessions to get through.

Gotta say, the tutorial wasn't comprehensive enough, but I figured it out soon enough.

Just found out that my "Unawakened Talent" feat that I took around level 3 turned out to be a massive boost to my Wis, so I think I'm gonna drop my plans for the Educator class and become a Sage. If all goes well, it'll pay for itself.

>>13723867
Nah, it was implemented, but it's really hard to activate. You can't just sit around and hope for it to occur. Think of it as the Vow of Poverty feat from that D&D minigame. It adds onto your class choice.

>>13723844

>>13723884
Take it easy, man. It's just a game.

The cutscenes are really starting to look more interesting than the actual game is. Not that they don't look awesome, but try showing us some actual gameplay instead. I'd really appreciate the chance to see what I'm getting into before I start with the next expansion.

btw, REALLY hoping jetpacks are as cool as the look.

>>13723762
>>the mexican class
Never give advice ever again. Everyone knows that is a bad class.
Lots of Mexicans respec as U.S. residents the first chance they get. Game features meant to stop you from doing that are circumvented by them by necessity, not because they are a cool class that way.

My friend /logged last year... he hasn't logged back in. I'm starting to worry.

>>13723829

INT classes are boring as fuck to play, and there's no compensation for low CHA on the getting girls roll, unless you want Goldiggers, which arent wortrh as many victory points as LustfulGirls.

Implement a magic system so INT characters can use charm spells to get the girls

What the FUCK, God?!

WIS is the most fucking useless stat in the world.

Everyone at the top has under 6 WIS and they're all the way on the negative end of the karma spectrum. The happiest people have the lowest WIS, and those with the highest WIS are often shot on sight or they fuck off to some useless location on the darkest asshole of nowhere.

Fuck WIS. It makes you miserable.

>>13723930
>Lots of Mexicans respec as U.S. residents
AHAHHAHA, you think that, don't you? Everyone spawns Mexican, and goes to the US zones because the Americans ignore the quests in their own backyard.

Character creation is completely fucked. I get that you don't want to make it too customizable because that just invites retarded minmaxing, but for fuck's sake, can we at least choose our gender? Would that really be so gamebreaking?

PROTIP: If you're unhappy with your stats, try joining the Army. Boot Camp training boosts just about every stat except Intelligence. And if you want that, you also get a Scholarship bonus to Wealth checks made to pay for Intelligence-based skill trainers, which is almost as good.

Army also provides your character with a global bonus to Wealth, as well as both Unarmed and Guns skills, which are hard to come by otherwise. And you can go to a healer for free as long as you're a member.

>>13723884

Trying incredibly hard to be a condescending asshole over the internet? Sounds like you got some self-esteem issues there yourself, buddy.

>>13723952
You have confused WIS for INT. The happiest people in the world aren't the ones with the lowest WIS. We're the ones who have high enough WIS to realize what really matters.

>>13723385

Actually, there are a few ways. Learning some words of French, getting breast implants, or wear nice clothes.

Also, Cha has some nice synergy with the physical stats. If you have high physical stats, then you get a Cha bonus

Great game, but I fucking hate its community.

Please implement a morality requirement for the Politician Class. As it is now it's fucking bullshit. Most Politicians are fucking Griefers and they're ruining the fucking game.

YOU CAN'T BOOST CHARISMA

Looks like, as usual, the player joining the army gets an INT penalty.

>>13723287
I've got this problem too. I picked this out because I didn't want to have to hassle with the romance systems. True, it means that I was going to be stuck with just the one, but it was practically guaranteed. Did it get stealth errata'd or something? Because I'm supposed to be able to take 20 on my interaction skills with the Childhood Friend.

lol enjoy your 8 WIS faggot

no one with higher than 14 WIS spends time that much time using the internet, a GAME within a fucking GAME

Can't boost CHA, ignore the troll. You have to force people to like you with money

I thought my game was bugged but it was my system. I had to keep cleaning the it by running it on a dialysis machine.... shit took 4 hours every 2 days. Bad component was replaced with a friend's spare and it runs Real Life great now!

>>13723965
Joining the Army can boost your stats, but if you're in a war event and roll a critical failure at any time, well, then your character is boned.

>>13723977
That's a Skill Check bonus that's limited by your natural Ability Modifier. If your Ability Modifier is 0, you can't have a Skill Bonus higher than 0 in Interaction skills.

>>13723952
nah bro, look at this guy's post
>>13723906
i had a friend who went with a straight wis character after he got a stupid high score when he rolled. he was poor for a while and we thought he wouldnt make it, but man, if you sink enough time into that shit you qualify for some broken ass shit. take that 'enlightened' feat for example. a bonus to cha equal to your wis mod? damn son

tl;dr wis is broken as shit if you got the patience to invest in it

Stop feeding the troll, okay? We established YEARS ago, nobody can improve CHA, you have to be born with it or upgrade it with thousands of gold, and thats only a temporary buff

>>13723948
>>Implement a magic system
To everyone saying this: it is a no-magic setting. That's the point. It isn't an accident that magic isn't supported.
You could have joined the Tamriel (if you were smart) or Forgotten Realms (if you are stupid and love a shitty server) servers if you wanted to. You didn't. Deal with it.

The psi ons class is really long before anything actually happens. So far sinking all those points into INT has been worth it. Also next edition can you please make it go somewhere.
No seriously I've had visions like what once every 4 to 8 months and they are of very little importance. Also stop it with spelling checks being so high on their DC'S please it's bloody annoying.

>>13724023
Enjoy your 6 Wis, faggot. Anyone with more than even 10 wis knows that happiness is impossible without 18 Cha

>>13724024
man, do people really not know about the 'enlightened' feat?
>>13724023
cha can be modified by wis if you work at it

>>13724019
Thats a penalty to their CHA score, and rape. Your'e a troll, go to hell

>>13723987
Let's pretend for a moment that you removed all penalties to Charisma. When you say something, you're able to say it clearly, keeping eye contact, etc. etc. removed all those negatives.

You do know there are -situational bonuses- to Charisma, right? Like, complimenting the target, feigning interest in what the target is speaking, and having a friendly face?

I know I should be asking this on the help forums, but since you're here...
I can't seem to remember my first few levels. I've got a few logs of it on my system, and my origin story has some of the details, but I can't seem to recall it myself.

I think I've been hacked, anyone else have this problem too?

>>13724019
>>Doesn't know about the alcohol confidence buff.
>>Doesn't know about the huge list of alcohol penalties.
They are cumulative, by the way. Good luck rolling with a -6 INT and -6 DEX for your measly +2 CHA.

>>13724023
>>tl;dr wis is broken as shit if you got the patience to invest in it

man but WIS seems so shitty

i enjoy grinding points into it, but it seems like the more i do, the shittier everything goes

WIS just makes me hate playing the game like a regular player; you don't enjoy or even want to play any of the other classes, and you can't explain why to anyone

Well, as long as you're here...

Can we (the Artists) have more creative control over the story department? That fiasco last month could've been prevented if we'd JUST been allowed to fix some typos, instead of having to bend to the will of the storyline.

>>13724041
dawg, man, im serious, get wis really high. those old characters we all heart about, like jesus and mohammed? those niggers took the enlightened feat. even now, after they quit, they still got people looking after them. shit, some people even think jesus will renew his subscription.

im telling you, wis is broken end game

>>13724058
Those maneuvers are limited by your Charisma Modifier. Only thing that can raise that is the Gold Modifier.

Why does so much content require level 18 or higher? In all the previous editions low-level characters had a ton of options, but now there's basically only one good one.

>>13724026

Yeah, but Tamriel will kill you dead seven different way before breakfast, and FR is just Elminster's vanity server these days.

Is it too much to ask to let noobs learn magic in a campaign that won't kill them off before level 3?

>>13724062
Dude, that's normal, the first few levels are mind numbing grinding so you can get basic skills, if you remembered you'd hate the game.

>>13724062
It is all tutorial bullshit. You don't need to remember it.
Do you really want or needed detailed info about learning to walk and breastfeeding?

ITT nobody understands life at all.
WIS is a worthless skill, it only shows you how much life sucks
CHA is the only skill worth anything, but you can't improve it, and nobody cares unless its 18

>>13724058
Dude, not even that, but those are practicable skill you can get from using the [READ] skill on [SKILL TEXTS].

Too bad [WATCH TV] and [JERK OFF] are so much more fun than [READ].

I rolled 18 CON. Why do I feel like I got the short end of the stick?

>>13724058
Doesn't matter when the DC for anything worthwhile is 40.

>>13724098
>>Tamriel will kill you dead seven different way before breakfast
For the love of the Nine, don't leave your starting city until you level up a lot.
I know: that's tedious. But at least you won't get killed out on the road by a rat or a mudcrab if you grind for years in a safe town.
But yeah: our server is a lot safer if you elected to spawn in a first world country that isn't Australia.

>>13724127
CON's worthless, it just means you don't get sick, while you still never get happy

Shit, so what you guys are saying is that [WIS] is the best long term ability?

So I might not see the payoffs immediately, but they will grow in the long run?

Hell yeah, negro. What's the best way to help feed this stat?

I suppose I could read some [HOLY TEXTS].

>>13724115
I don't know man. Like >>13724086 said, WIS can do some crazy shit at higher levels.

>>13724127
Invest some time into grinding STR. Should come easy with such a high CON. Also, you could try drugs. You're high CON can minimize some of the negative effects.

>>13724075
The problem with a WIS build is that WIS does nothing to improve survivability, and most characters are just too flimsy to get to the point where it starts to pay off.

>>13724086
Yeah, but you don't grind up WIS first! Even Jesus knew that; he grinded STR and a bit of INT early game. It was only near level 30 did he dump all his points into WIS and become completely broken.

>>13723989
I think you've found the main issue. People are trying to hard to up their CHA stats, thinking that CHA buffs are the way to go. While an increased CHA does have solid short-term gains, it becomes harder to maintain at the higher levels. Only a few players have really been able to keep it going (Like Shwn_Konnry and M-Freedman).

WIS, on the other hand, has more in the way of long-term rewards, which become easier in the mid-late levels. You can spec for WIS early on, but it increases the chance that you'll draw aggro from Bully and other PVP classes. The advantage is that it opens up new quests, or at least new endings to existing quests. It also makes it easier to build the Content buff.

Just be careful, the Content buff tends to piss people off that don't have it because they aren't spec'd for getting it, even though they're trying to grind for it.

>>13724161
>>13724154
>>13724152
>>13724151
Int < 7 confirmed
WIS is never a good stat

>>13724127
Should have played 10,000 years ago. You would have had all the bitches.
Since the 'modern medicine' update, con hasn't been important. You specced all wrong if you went for high con. CHA+INT are all that matter now. In a pinch, the INT can go.

>>13724070
>Implying the +2 Cha doesn't kick in before the penalty.
>Implying you can't maintain that level if you're careful.
>Implying you retain the +2 Cha bonuswhen the penalties start kicking in.

Have you ever even used the Alcohol mechanics?

I'd extend playtime, this 90-year stuff is bullshit.

Also,
>this thread

>>13724151
yeah, thats a good starting location. [philosophy] courses and texts work well too. you may need to get your int up just a tad, but then just give everything to wis.

telling you, saw this one guy, ugly as fuck avatar, and old as tits, but damn that man changed the fucking indian server for the better. he did die, but the impression he had on it was worth it, imo

there are other feats too that increase happiness by a proportionate amount equal to your wis if you meditate for a few hours a day, and you can make that bonus permanent at higher levels.

Why the fuck isn't any of my magic leveling up ?


Fuck!

Why is Knowledge: Touhou unusually applicable? Seriously, I can apply it to so much.

>>13724041
>Anyone with more than even 10 wis knows that happiness is impossible without 18 Cha
>he doesn't know how hilariously broken int+wis builds are
Charisma is very easy to "fake." With the right feats and skills you can basically use the combination of int and wis to do anything cha can, with only slightly diminished effectiveness.
It's true that charisma-based characters are easy mode, but an int/wis character can do everything they can--most just don't think to use it in that way.

>>13724178
I use it all the time. I just finished off a jug of Mississippi Mud.
Alcohol is great fun, but don't rely on the stat boosts it gives.
And yeah, you can maintain the 'buzzed' condition's mild bonuses and penalties if you are careful. More power to you, but a lot of players fuck up and jump straight from 'sober: no bonuses or penalties' to 'shit faced: -8 to everything'.

>>13724097

Dude, are you kidding? Low-level characters almost have more viable class choices than high-level ones.

Jocks, Preps, Nerds, Goths, Gangstas...all fun classes to play, and each one can lead to a higher-level prestige class if you get good enough at it:

Jock can upgrade to Sportsman or Soldier
Prep can upgrade to Business or Lawyer
Nerd can upgrade to Doctor or Engineer
Goth can upgrade to Artist or Criminal
Gangsta can upgrade to Criminal or Soldier

The lower levels also have a lot less micro as many of the more tedious functions are automated at that point. Really, I'd like to go back and play through the lower levels again.

>>13724216
Stop griefing, faggot. Cha is the only stat worth anything and nothing can substitute for it. Int/Wis just shows you how terrible life is.

>>13724205
Because it's the only think besides Dex that allows you to dodge bullets. I think God threw it in there to try and offset guns, but hardly anyone combat specced takes it.

Is the 2012 thing true? I really don't wanna start with the whole [LOVING FAMILY] arc if Real Life is just gonna get canned for that new "Real Life 2".

And of course, is there a way I can get into the beta? The announcement on the improved HUD really got me interested.

I'd like to ask people to stop feeding the CHA troll. He's being really, really obvious and ruining the thread.

It's great having a Guardian PC that helps you out through the early levels.

Mine left for a while, which kinda sucked. Had to learn a lot of things for myself, but then he showed up again and helped me raise CHA. Also helps when you have someone else loaning you gold occasionally.

Hey, God. I suggest you put in INT, WIS, and CHA requirements for Guardian PCs before they can create avatars for incoming players. Otherwise, it makes for a shitty game for the new guys.

Also, seriously nerf the [REPRODUCE] skill for the Mexican-Catholic build. It's making the game suck for White-Protestant builds in North America.

>>13724233
Saw this one guy once when I went to the Japan zone for some trading. Dude had a Wis/Dex build, and was shooting arrows fucking blindfolded. For 24 hours straight.

Idk if Wis is as good as >>13724196 says, but it isn't as bad as you make it our to be.

Maybe you just need to dump more points into it?

>>13723956
Dude, take a lesson from WoW. If we could choose our genders, the game would be overrun by creepy guys making their female avatars dance naked for gold. We have enough of that shit already from the ones who luck out and those who try to fake it!

>>13724265
>>I'd like to ask people to stop feeding the CHA troll.
Yeah, he is a troll, who probably rolled a 3 on his CHA, but he is right in a lot of what he says.

>>13724277
Dude lucked out and glitched into max Gold. Gold gives a bonus to CHA.

>>13724277
He basically stabbed his guild in the back. He doesn't count

For the next update, can we PLEASE get a uniform rulebook distribution? I know some people still using [Rulebook: Torah] even though it's WAY out of date.

>>13723987

Oh but you can.

CHA ultimately boils down to an overarching sense of self-confidence and fearlessness, both of which are increased in Boot Camp training.

>>13724296
CHA troll telling himself he is right.

>>13724233
It's not my fault you don't know how to play an int/wis character.
Yes, it requires more grinding than a cha character. That's just something you have to deal with--high charisma gives you bonuses to social interaction right away, intelligence just makes it easier for you to level the skills.
But that's the thing that's so broken about intelligence--it benefits literally every skill in the game.
You're trying to play your int character like it's a cha character who can just jump in and faceroll from the beginning. Stop doing that, play to the character's strengths and you'll start to see how fucking ridiculous it is.

>>13724317
lol no. Go back and read the rulebook, dumbshit.

>>13724317
Reread your shit. Boot Camp gives a +5 to resist Combat Paralysis. That's it.

>>13724296
What, that CHA is all that matters? A few editions ago, maybe, but now you can break the game with half the other stats.

>>13724317
But I'm trying a high-INT build for an engineer.
Shouldn't I go for Air Force if I want stat boosts?
There are more options than Army out there.

>>13724313
Im banking on [Rulebook: Necronomicon]

>>13724345

I'll admit, I lol'd hard at this.

>>13724298
Not true. I was reading his quest log. When he was starting out, he and a few others working on the same quest got a choice. "Sell or License". Everyone else went for "Sell" but they set their price too high because they wanted short-term rewards. 13i11_G chose "License" which, while not as rewarding up front, created a steady flow of gold and locked the quest for other players for a long time.

Also, stabbing his guild in the back has no bearing. He got so powerful, just on INT/WIS that the North America mods broke his guild up into several smaller guilds to help out the balance of power.

tl;dr: INT/WIS makes the mods afraid of you

>>13724344
>Engineer
HAHAHAHA Dumbshit. Enjoy getting debuffed by every manager in the company for looking better than them.

>>13724345
That isn't even thematically appropriate for this server. In fact: the whole point of it is to troll a no-fantasy server like this one.
Don't advocate that the Book of Trolls become officially supported.

What's the point of leaving all this cool fluff about dinosaurs for us to find if there's no way it will ever be relevant? I get that it expands on the background of the game world and all that, but unless you spec Paleontologist, it's pretty useless. Unless some future patch actually includes cloning mechanics, what is the point of knowing anything about dinosaurs, which were never in any playable version of the game?

>>13724317

>self-confidence and fearlessness,
>increased in Boot Camp

Yeah, no.

>>13724344
LOL @ [Class: Chair Force]
[Class: Marine]s are dumb, but at least they're good at one thing (namely, tanking).

About to help a friend get into the game: What are the Life-Paths again?

>>13724370
I already invested four levels in getting engineering proficiency and another level in getting engineering mastery.
It's a little late to respec now. And the fucking -10 to job search penalty being levied on everyone right now is ass fucking me. Spending a few levels grinding in the Air Force as an officer could help me.

I don't really like what you did with the obesity perk. It used to be a sign of wealth and power, heck it was a requirement for the "fat and happy" achievement. Now it might as well be a debuff. And people getting it automatically on character creation? Not cool.
You used to have to earn obesity.

>>13724383
How new are you? Some of the very first players were around way before the Dinosaurs, look up first edition (Hadean Eon)

>>13724367
he was selling yellowing computers out of his garage. He found an exploit and ran it until he maxxed out gold, and bought everything else he needed. He basically cheated, so it doesn't count.

It's bullshit that if you put points into Artistic Expression at chargen, you don't get to choose - or even know - which one/s you get. I found, through years of trial and error, that apparently Writing (Prose) is the only one that rolled positive, meanwhile a guy I knew in my leveling guild got Acting, Drawing, Writing (Prose), Writing (Poetry), and Dance! How is that balanced?

>>13724445
Grind jogging and only eat foods with a low +calories bonus for a few months.
That's a dynamic perk. You can just unearn it if you really wanted to.

>>13724383
>what is the point of knowing anything about dinosaurs, which were never in any playable version of the game?

Don't spread this around, but I heard some [Scientists] specced in [Genetic Engineering] are figuring out ways to use [FOSSILS] for cool shit.

I love artifacts. They look totally useless until someone realizes their potential, but it often takes a really high INT/WIS modifier

>>13724402

>Chair Force.

If you do the college sub-quest, and have decent enough stats for flight training, it's not bad. Worst case scenario is you switch to the Commercial Pilot class after your tour is up.

For anyone else though, it's all the bullshit of the Army class, with none of the benefits.

My biggest problem is the professor NPCS. simply put some are great because they are specced that way, but others specced for research or something else and are just worthless. Sometimes I have to pay double GP because I need a second skill-tutor to get the points.

>>13724474
>>Acting, Drawing, Writing (Prose), Writing (Poetry), and Dance!
I have bad news: he probably secretly took the flaw: loves the cock to make up for all these bonuses.
I knew two guys who had high ranks in acting. Both had the "loves the cock" flaw. It is a bizarre min-maxing setup that a few players have chosen.

>>13724383
Cloning is in, it's just that most of the player-run governments impose strict limits on what you're allowed to do with it, and it's too expensive and labor-intensive to be done effectively by an individual even at the lower levels of the skill.

I rolled the Micro Penis flaw. Help

>>13724467
Yes, because it was clearly the whole "Selling cardboard computers" that made him rich, rather than the "Licensing MSDOS to the IBM Guild for 20 years" thing.

You're just pissed that the quest was only available until a limited number of people completed it.

>>13724511
But see that's bullshit. "Loves the Cock" isn't even an actual flaw - if it actually gave you a penalty to attracting females that would be one thing. But if anything it seems to actually buff your attraction stat for most females.

>>13724534
You'll have to force quit and reroll, sorry bro.

Hey God, when are you getting rid of the Sweatshop Worker class over in Asia? You banned it from all the other servers, damn it. Whenever I log on my North America character, EVERY ITEM AT THE SHOPS ARE LOW QUALITY SHIT MADE OVER ON ASIA.

I mean, god damn. I tried putting some skill points in to Manufacture: Toys, but those damn Asia players just push me out of the market with their flood of cheap, low q items.

Can you extend life by about 40 or so game years? I really want to read all the books (seriously, the whole backstory on this game is amazing) but I don't feel like I have enough time.

Not as of yet. Rumor is that the code for this is already in the game, it's just that nobody has gotten their Biology and Medical skills high enough.

>>if anything it seems to actually buff your attraction stat for most females.
I know, but you get random penalties to other people's dispositions if they find out you have that trait.
You might get no penalty, you might get murderous rage. And you are going to be permabanned if they find out you have it in Iran or other places like that. I feel that it should be called a penalty. Even if the stat alterations are neutral, the social aspect of it is fucked. But the social penalties do decrease every year. So it is not that bad.

>>13724594
/tg/ is shit, just like all of 4chan.

The thing is, sometimes you shit gems. And /tg/ seems to shit gems a bit more frequently then the other boards do.

And while we're on Artistic Expression, why is it the only career path that you have to spend multiple levels pursuing for free before it starts netting you any gold?

What's the best way to skip the Romance Subsystems but still qualify for the Romance Buffs such as Marriage and Committed Partner? I heard a couple of things like Arranged Marriage got removed in most locals, so I'm wondering what my options are.

I know it's been in the game since it started, but could you remove the whole [BLADDER] penalty we get from working to keep [HUNGER] from killing us?
It's annoying enough on it's own. Maybe just limit it to once a week or something?

>mfw when nobody else got the Jew perk
Instant mod status fuck yeah

>>13724577
If you read in to some of the in-game lore, they say there's certain fountains in the game that if you drink from it, you'll live forever.

Only the Admins seem to know where it is, however. Moderators mostly pass it off as a prank.

You got stuck in a non Europe/India location? Man, that's going to be tough for a scholar class.

Please fix the [SAVANT] trait. It's way to overpowered right now.

>>13724639
Unfortunately the mods haven't left you much of a choice here. Unless you find someone really desperate to switch class to American quickly, you'll pretty much need to complete all the Romance sub-quests to get the Wife bonus. Just buff that CHA as high as you can and get to it.

>>13724661

I can make due with those two.
And relieving the hunger penalty is fun.
The sleep necessity is some serious bullshit. It should be strictly optional. I would do without it completely if I had the option.

I know it's against the EUA, but can I get someone else to play my character for several levels? I picked up two new party members a few levels ago and the grind is killing me. They are completely useless until at least level 8, which feels like the distant future. I'll be level 31 by then, that's the best levels of the game solely focused on getting my party up to scratch.

Also some of your GMs are absolute dicks. They really need better training.

Man, my Africa server character's guild is rockin'. We recently managed to get one of our zone's moderators b&

>>13724715
Do it. Shut In is one of the only classes that gets worse the more levels you take in it. Not only that, but each successive level imposes a cumulative bonus to respeccing.

God, please, whatever you do, do NOT listen to the feedback some of these other faggots are giving you in terms of racial selection in the next edition. Please DO NOT allow players to pick "furry", "otherkin", "werewolf", or any of that shit when it launches.

It is fine. The bonuses it gets for competing with other systems make it the stable equilibrium of the game.
Hell, it outlasted the Soviet's attempt to remove it.

Fucking signed, ban that faggot, community's bad enough without greifers like him.

But Shut-In gives me a huge bonus to Knowledge: Eroge and Knowledge: Animu and Mango, which meets my social needs for fractions of the cost!

Ditto on the Capitalism thing.

You need to patch the [ECONOMY] quick-like to something better.

Krrl_Marks had some good ideas for revamping the system, but it always seems to go wrong whenever the players try it using mod powers. I blame this on the inherent corruption of the [POLITICIAN] class.

What ever happened to the admins Zeus, Odin, and Horus? They were such bros, but I haven't seen them around lately. Did they just quit or something?

>>13724804
Solo gaming doesn't count.

Are you ever going to open up the other 99.9999999(repeating) percent of the game world? Each patch increases our knowledge about the other zones, but with the exception of the very limited-access "Moonshot" quest line, we never get to actually go to any of them.

Maybe if you removed the artificial speed cap, it would help us explore these other zones. I mean seriously, there's no logical reason WHY an object can't move faster than light. It's a totally artificial barrier imposed for no reason I can think of.

>>13724817
The Catholic Guild ganked them. Permadeath is permanent, even for admins.

>>13724817
I thought they retired a while ago. Not sure, but I think it might have something to do with Xenu being hired on

>>13724694
I'm thinking that the Sleep requirement is to help relieve stress on the server. This also allows for world maintenance to be completed with minimal impact to the experience.

When you think about it, 1/3 of the world is asleep at any given time. Imagine the lag if no one used the sleep function ever.

>>13724804
Dude, check again. The bar isn't it's normal green color, it's teal. That's not actually meeting the social need, it's a trap. I got stuck with it for a while too, but I'm getting over it thanks to [PSYCHIATRIC HELP], and a little bit of [OUTSIDE]. I know that's what all the NPCs say to do too, but eventually it does work. I got like... 23% of real green on my bar.

>>13724824
But I LIKE to sologame.

>>13724845
Did they actually gank them or just get them to change their names and refluff the backstory?

>>13724854
Xenu is actually an admin now? I thought he was only head of his guild.

>>13724876
Hey, if you like to solo, then go for it, by all means. I think what we're saying is that grouping, or at least duo-ing, opens up a lot of the game that you wouldn't get solo.

>>13724892
They ganked them. They rerolled as normal users, though.

>>13724857
But the population is still rising. If they can't handle more than 2/3 of the server pop active at one time now how will they handle it when 2/3 of the population is greater than the whole population is now?
And don't say "better hardware" because you know they'll never cut into their profits to make the game run smoother. Hell it's half the reason why FTL is verboten.

>>13724897
Last I heard he was both.

Some people have been protesting their guild halls though, to get Xenu removed from adminship.

Please purge the server. Half of the accounts aren't even doing anything to contribute to the game world and are instead just taking up resources and names.

>>13724875
You have to get the Rank 5 Self-Delusion before it starts to actually turn Green from Eroge and Anime. Once you have that, then you're good.

>>13724944
On one hand, I agree with you. On the other hand, they can be an endless source of lulz and amusement by just watching their antics.

WTF is up with this [TRANSGENDER] trait you bastard? All it does is make me suffer, I can't even accept [DATING] or [SWIMMING] quests?!?!?! Fuck you man, fuck you.

Does the Gamer class impose some sort of modifier on a player's Gender roll? Is that why there are so few Gamers with female avatars?

>>13724991
Deal with it. You can stop playing any time you want.

>>13723470
Dog player here. Fuck you.

Just because our in-game chat gets filtered into "BARK" doesn't mean we're not sitting around grinding [Chase Tail] just as hard as you are YOUR specs.

Don't think anybody has got it maxed it out yet what with the [Short Lifespan: 15] trait; I can see why Tortoises have long lifespans -- their move speed is low as hell -- but you gave that shit to PARROTS too, and those bastards have a fly speed. Humans had to grind so many updates before they unlocked fly tech, and it's not even like Parrots can't take the first few levels of [Language]. Total bullshit.), but we'll get there eventually.

Not for lack of trying, anyway.

>>13724999
There's no Gender restrictions, only a Charm and Charisma cap.

Females avatars normally exceed this cap, so they can't be Gamers.

>>13724991
There are some players who have a high enough Anatomy Knowledge skill that they can actually remove the debuffs from that. Unfortunately, they usually want retarded amounts of cash for it.

I rolled well rounded stats during character generation, and I thought that it would be great for roleplaying across the board to pretty much any NPC or PC, but it turns out that around level 20, I should have tried to min/max that shit. You can't finish good quest chains without all the high stat rolls because you don't qualify to accept the next part of the quest!

Anyone know how to change the sex of my character? Getting tired of waiting for the singularity expansion.

>>13725053
I heard at later levels of Gamer you can change your profession to Professional Gamer. Apparently, if you do that, it gets rid of the Charm and Charisma cap.

Or at least makes the cap higher.

>>13725055

Yeah I know, my location bonus from being in [BC, CANADA] reduces the costs by 98% but it's still an issue! It should be addressed I think!

>>13725071
Dude, the Singularity expansion was a JOKE! It's not actually in development. Come on; a game-changing expansion that only the wealthiest 20% or so of players can actually use? Who actually believes this crap?

GODDAMN BALANCE ISSUES LIKE FUCK.

Seriously! I appreciate the latest efforts - the last few decades or so saw a drastic decrease on the overall ratio of players stuck in Poverty status, but two thirds of the player base's still stuck in some of the shittiest grindzones ever designed - low xp, shit mission payouts, a severe lack of decent class trainers, and the Disease problems from /hundreds of expansions ago/ are still prevalent and rampant in some spots. And you spawn more new players in these zones than in the comparatively easy Western Monoculture blocs! What the hell?!

It's almost like the game map was procedurally generated from a bunch of obscure rules, and nobody came around afterward to edit the results. Great for simulators, maybe, but for an massively-multiplayer RPG? Try harder, dammit - it's an expensive subscription you're charging us players.

My main problem with Real Life is all the conflicting editions and their backstories. I mean, there is nothing wrong with Christian: The Conversion or Muslim: The Madness, mechanically; but the inconsistant backstories just lead to stupid editions wars. Hell, you just released Athiest: The Reasoning which completely condtradicts everything.

Every. Fucking. Thing.

Also, the magic system is borked. I knew a girl who completely min/max for a witch with the hopes of dishing out some crazy ass magic like in the earlier iterations. Now though, a level 30 priest of Jehovah doesn't stand a chance against a low level NPC with a slingshot.

>>13725071
Find someone with the Doctor class, specced endocrinology.
Alternatively, make a research check and buy the shit they'd give you yourself, and hope you didn't roll badly enough to accidentally kill your character. You will need a surgeon specced doctor for the final phase of the quest regardless, though. Some players deliberately choose to not complete the quest, but that imposes some nasty penalties.

>>13725048
>Dog player.

Dude, dogs & cats are nonsapient AI-driven NPCs. If you entered play as a dog, either there's a massive glitch, or one of the mods isd\ fucking around for lulz.

Why the hell would anyone try to make a race without thumbs playable?

>>13725177

Already more then half finished the quest, I might have to back-trek a couple steps to get a profession of my own unfortunately...

>>13725166
I wasn't playing back then, but I'm pretty sure the magic system got the boot by player choice. They did a poll and players almost unanimously chose to have the science system completely replace magic.

That was long before I was playing, though. Just the story I heard.

>>13725113
Its suppose to be the start of this whole new thing where the wealthy players have nothing to do but help out the poorer ones

Did these guys get a buff recently?

I never had any problem with them last encounter years ago but now the SAN loss is almost crippling, and that's despite having a +1 INT modifier and basic skills in the Zoology tree.

I lol at all these people trying to bring the magic system back. Why not just spec for science? It's just as good, if not better.

>>13725301
In other words the entire [Human Nature] attribute - one of the defining mechanics of the entire game - has to be removed? Yeah, that's likely.

>>13725356
They are just mad they they didn't spawn in a high fantasy server.
Now they need to find out a playing strategy for our 'no magic, ever' style server.

>>13725381
Don't they know that they spend 1/3 of their game time in their own sandbox server? That can be as magical as they want.

>>13725381
Well they may have the right to be a little pissed about that. I mean which server you spawn into is as random as every other facet of char-gen. If it wasn't, I'd have gone with a post-scarcity server: screw this grind, I want to RP.

>>13725473
Almost no one has the 'lucid dreaming' ability.
So that sandbox server is more like randomized bullshit you can't control.
You get everything from simulated sexytimes to screaming terror. It is a real crap shoot. And you can't save your progress on it.

>>13725502
There are a few people whose systems don't even display the events from sandbox mode - they might as well not even have it.

According to mods, the events do still occur (if they didn't, sleep mode would not function properly) but that doesn't help those of us who are missing out on the only non-mundane content in the game.

THERE SHOULD BE MORE BUFFS FOR TAKING RECREATIONAL DRUGS AND LESS PENALTIES!!!

>>13725501
>He thinks there are additional servers
laughinggirls.png
I mean, there might be some after you play through here, but you have to play this one first.

>>13725604
Then the devs need to say that explicitly. So far the only references are in outdated versions of the manual. Make it absolutely clear that, yes, other servers open up when you finish this one and I think a lot of players would be much happier with this one. But don't just ask us to take it on faith.

>>13725604
I have read multiple, clearly detailed descriptions of alternate servers.
I even played a few sims of them. Clearly that is what some anons on here are complaining about. They know of the alternate rulesets used on other servers and wish that those rulesets were used here.

>>13724580

Wow, butthurt much? Many of these players took (MATE NECESSITY: DESPERATE FEMALE) as THEIR drawback. The lucky ones are the ones that don't HAVE a requirement.

So stop being an elitist, asshole. We all have our defects, we can't ALL be restriction-less on our sexual pathing.
