An Arx Peeve Thread

My Arx thoughts & prayers as someone who has very little of the experiences the rest of ya’ll have but I wanted to contribute something to this thread.

I would kinda like a @sheet that was just stats/skills/abilities no muss, no fuss. The demographic stuff is aight, but I feel like a simple sheet is always nice just for quick reference.

Actually, +sheet/stats exists and it took me far, far, far too long to realize it, thus I pass it along to those who will benefit from my very belated discoveries.

Maybe we can call it “Stability” or something, and have it govern your agility skill.

But have you tried rolling?

Rolled too early

@kalakh

The lack of people having the courage to dodgeroll is probably the only reason the horned god isn’t dead yet tbh

dark souls roll

@Solstice I’m so doing this now.

The time ratio.

Don’t get me wrong, like 90% of the time I prefer it, but it was harvest time the last time I was playing regularly and that makes me feel bad.

I’m the crazy person who still misses 3:1 time.

@Roz

I admit that 3:1 is my favorite of the options, tbh. Just not right now. Anything not 1:1 makes me feel guilty.

I’d be more down with 3:1 if characters actually aged. It remains extremely difficult to take 20-somethings seriously as experts in their respective fields, and tbh I just really want some of these babies born under crazy-ass IC circumstances to become moving pieces on the board.

@helvetica God I wish aging were automatic.

BloodAngel

@sao It is odd given the setting as well.

Ashkuri

@sao This is probably a stupid question, how come it isn’t automatic?

Roz

@imstillhere At one point early on I think staff said they didn’t want to turn on automatic aging until systems were less in Beta.

But my memory of that conversation was that it was – years ago. So idk.

I was just going to say, “Because it’s Arx.”

sao

@BloodAngel It’s not really odd, the game has been in beta this whole time and auto-aging has never been a code priority. Apos has always said that the age is a field that could be false anyway since real_age is a separate field that can be set so it doesn’t trouble him particularly that a bunch of people out there who “look” or “seem” 22.

I can somewhat answer that. I was trying to get Arxcode to work for Atharia and was asking Tehom why ages were auto-updated (as I prefer that) and he said it is pretty complex to code into and other things. I forget it all and am lazy to try to find it in my discord stuff. I mean, codewise you’re looking to check for age updating twice a day.

If not automatic, then at least have birth year written down somewhere so age can be manually changed if needed.

Snackness

@helvetica I age up pretty much every roster I take.

you're welcome

Ashkuri

I was aging up but it started getting weird to outpace people who are technically 5+ years older than me

sao

I age up every damn birthday, and am now the oldest man on the grid because I pass everyone. Lol.

helvetica

I’ve been doubling up and aging two years at a time whenever I remember to just to make up for the difference. Sometimes, I’ll be asked a timeline question and have to reconcile with the fact that Lark is way too young for something to have happened 10 years ago or whatever.
