Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!

@Jennkryst are you saying you want the dinosaurs to win??
-
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.
-
@Tez I agree.
lol lmao
-
@Herja Damnit! I’m still failing at starting a fight over this!
-
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.
let it be a challenge to you
-
@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.
-
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

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

@crawfish I did an +askstaff! As @Roz told me to. I do not question the Roz. Roz knows all. Roz is all.

Do you know the best way to solve the dinosaur problem?

@hellfrog Even though my character should technically be a Dino, she has been on the roster so long she still has pretty low stats, I think. So this is fine.

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.
I get sad about this everytime @tsar logs off.
