| Why Is This Loon Still Blogging About Parrying?, posted on Fri Feb 23 15:04:35 2024 | | Posted by: Kadath | | Category: General | In addition to the adjustments that were discussed in previous blog posts, an additional, separate issue was found that related to parrying some ranged attacks (particularly those involving smaller projectiles).
An additional (and hopefully final) change has now been made that should make a far more noticeable difference to parry users defending against small projectiles. This change should mean that your choice of "tactics response" should always be used when defending against ranged attac...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Parrying What Life Throws At You Pt. II, posted on Thu Feb 22 13:56:17 2024 | | Posted by: Kadath | | Category: General | I've now made a further adjustment to the weighting of ranged attacks vs parrying defence, as mentioned in the original post on this topic. Again, please submit a bug report if you witness any behaviour you think constitutes a bug or unintended outcome of this change.
I would also like to clarify that this change does *not* affect inhumation attempts in any way. There is separate code that handles those compared to normal ranged attacks.
Have fun!

| Pressure Drop, posted on Tue Feb 20 10:27:00 2024 | | Posted by: Kake | | Category: Waterways (domain pages) | The XP reward for sailing has been rebalanced to bring it more in line with other game systems. In particular, it now takes into account the duration of your voyage, in order to ensure that crews of all speeds are given a fair reward for their time.
I've put further details below, but I also want to explain the thinking behind this change, and make it clear what will and will not happen in response to player feedback.
Firstly, the reason for the change. This is a high-XP mission, which means ...Read The Rest Of This Entry |

You can now fry pancakes in a frying pan, skillet, or wok. This requires a heat source like brewing, as well as flour, raw egg (from cracking eggs), milk, and butter. You can also add any seasonings and up to 1 optional ingredient of your choice!
Enjoy! |
| Loitering Within Tent, posted on Fri Feb 9 11:03:20 2024 | | Posted by: Guildenstern | | Category: Special | The range of tents available has been expanded, and you can now go camping around the Disc! Some highlights:
* Erecting a tent will keep the room it's in loaded, which means that the stuff you leave in it (and outside it) will not be eaten by the inevitable progress of time for a few days - even if you log out.
* WARNING: It can still be picked up by players or NPCs, and a crash or a reboot will destroy it all. Anything you lose like this will not be replaced by Liaisons.
* You will need ...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Parrying What Life Throws At You, posted on Wed Feb 7 15:03:54 2024 | | Posted by: Kadath | | Category: General | An issue has been identified that made it extremely difficult for anyone using the 'parry' response to defend against the majority of ranged attacks (anything using the thrown/fired skills).
This will have had a significant impact on players who rely on parry in places like the smuggler caves and copperhead mines with aggressive NPCs who like to throw things. It will, however, have been advantageous for players using ranged attacks against parry-using NPCs as well.

Items
* Furry earmuffs from Stephan in Mad Wolf will now fit under both helmets and hats.
* Hessian sacks are now treated as "flexible" while empty, meaning you can put them inside smaller containers as long as they don't contain things themeselves.
* Non-piercing ranged weapons, such as thrown boulders, will now end up on t...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
