      @sao Not being able to own that guy in a post is the ONLY reason why I am sort of annoyed about being banned from MSB.

        Today my Arx peeve is when I see the watch notification for someone logging off and think it is the watch notification for them logging on so I get excited and then sad.

        let it be a challenge to you

          This is terrible, but I immediately in my mind pictured a dog when someone leaves, then realizes they forgot their keys and ducks back in just long enough to grab them. That ecstatic joy of YOU’RE BACK! crumpling into the depths of sadness once more.

                    My incendiary XP opinion is that social skills are so highly useful now they should be taxed as well – or else, OR ELSE. The combat tax should be removed.

                    But no one bites when I set this out to start fights.

                      Considering how central the prestige game has become, socials are probably more important than combat skills for a lot of folks. But I say that having not done a spar in the training center for approximately 5 RL years, so my opinion can probably be discounted.

                            I only recently started accumulating socials and I’m like 4000xp deep after 3.5 years.

                            Cost for Combat 6: 5500 XP. WELP.

                              Yeah I do think the result of a shakeup on the cost of socials would be like OMG BUT THE DINOSAURS HAVE THEM ALL ALREADY IT’S UNFAIR

                              which it probably would be but like, that’s why catchup XP exists in concept. Arx hasn’t solved the dinosaur problem, I know (as a very lazy dinosaur myself) but it does at least TRY.

                                @sao I think with catch-up xp being a thing and social skills being wildly more useful now than they were earlier in the game, all skill buys should be on the same ladder, whether that is the current social skill or current combat skill xp ladder. I think the way to combat the dinosaur problem isn’t by taxing or not taxing certain skills, but by making sure that PCs at all skill levels are being given opportunities to grow and advance through plots or other activities depending on their character goals. I know that I tend to crack down pretty hard on people who gatekeep plot based on the sheet.

                                lol lmao

                                  I’ve never found skills to be the biggest issue on Arx in any direction. I buy them, I have them, I’m OK, I’m not brilliant, some are better, but that doesn’t stop me being aces.

                                  Of course, my big problem is I haven’t been able to look or go north or east for a week

                                  When someone shows you who they are, over and over again? Believe them.

                                    @Narson This is a known glitch, please report it! I think restarting the server is the fastest way to fix it.
