Maybe that's how it works now, definitely isn't how it used to work though.

It used to cost 3p and stop hunger accumulation completely. It never did a thing for you if you were passing out.

It totally did. It would stop you passing out. That's the main thing I used it for.

Key word, perhaps?

Edit: Oh, I missed Xavius' post. He's right, Xavius. It did stop you from passing out.

Subj: December Envoy Report

Hi all,

Here are changes from the December Envoy report, as well as a few random
others:

ACROBATICS
----------
- JumpKick no longer causes endurance loss if the target is in the wrong
direction
- Dodging will now only be able to dodge aggressive actions from the
same room or an adjacent room. The reasoning behind this is that the
Acrobat needs to see the attacker or attack in order to properly be able
to dodge it.

BLADEMASTER
-----------
- New skill: GashChest
- Pinleg will no longer stop focusing and outrifting

CELESTIALISM
------------
- The Luminous pledge now gives blindness instead of revealing shrouded
players and lowering their ability to dodge

GLAMOURS
--------
- COlourBurst has an increased equilibrium cost
- ColourSpray has an increased equilibrium cost
- RainbowPattern will, on average, take longer to fire
- RainbowPattern will no longer sometimes give 2 afflictions
- RainbowPattern's damage has been slightly lowered
- HypnoticPattern will, on average, take longer to fire
- HypnoticPattern will consume slightly less equilibrium for the victim
- ColourMaelstrom has an increased equilibrium cost
- ColourMaelstrom can only be cast from the ground elevation
- ColourMaelstrom will, on average, give fewer afflictions to those not
blind
- Maze has an increased equilibrium cost

MAGES
-----
- You will be able to break melds on the Ethereal Plane, but cannot meld
there

MUSIC
-----
- BlankChord has been reduced in power cost
- BlankChord will often fail to break a CaptiveAudience if the caster is
in the room
- CaptiveAudience gives a room message when it is lost

PSYCHOMETABOLISM
----------------
- SuspendedAnimation can now be entered in most states (including off
balance and equilibrium)
- You must type WAKE to awaken yourself early from Suspended Animation

STEALTH
-------
- Setting up a waylay is not considered aggressive. Note that you will
still have to declare in order for the waylay to take effect when the
target enters your room!
- We will slowly be making guards not greet people by their real name,
but rather by their masqueraded name (if applicable). This is a slow
process so I appreciate your patience with us, though we will try to get
it done as quickly as possible

TOTEMS
------
- Failing a leap will no longer consume balance (also affects mountjump
in riding)

TRACKING
--------
- Disarming a trap that is not yours will return roughly half the
commodities

GENERAL
-------
- All Tradeskills may now search for particular types of design items in
the following manner:
Old: FORGING MASTERWEAPONS (to see all masterweapons)
New: FORGING MASTERWEAPONS SWORD (to see all masterweapon swords)
New: FORGING BLADES RAPIER (to see all rapiers)
- You can now read help files while asleep
- The Discernment skill Search will reveal those in the rooftops


Enjoy!

Some bard hate right there.

And yet, you keep the stun from blanknote.

GLORY BE TO ENVOYS!

Thats much better then the proposed change IMO (though hard to say without testing the times, I guess), but yeah, pretty harsh.

Good. Now, let's make music better.
Passive entanglements and good diseases for Necroscream, plz.

You mean the nearly useless stun? Oh, ok. I feel better now.

And wtf... Blankchord is now _4_ power. Big change- not. 1 power, that's really going to add up quick!

Instead of constantly dishing out nerfs for bards, how about change something for their benefit?

1. Sustain should not be aggressive.
2. Celestode should not work on enemied Celestians. Reason for this: it benefits opponents during arena events.
3. Crusadercanto/Celestode triggering with rainbowpattern and other passive stuffs. I can see Celestode, but not the canto.
4. Handstand (for all Acrobatics)- remove or make more useful for its power cost.
5. More use for Fugue.
6. Off-plane milestones.
7. Nexus Inspire should work on the entire elemental plane and not just a small part that no one frequents (works on entire cosmic plane..).

I think the only reason bards keep getting nerfed is because there're so few of them and they don't tend to be as loud as the other guilds... so go ahead and waste time and effort on them while turning a blind eye towards the other classes. Cough- monks -cough.

I guess it's time to go mugwump to counter this change.

The changes that needed to be addressed weren't and most of the glamour changes were unnecessary.

Alas...farewell to pinleg, in all its former glory.


Love those changes!

P.S. Change maze!

The Glamours changes were highly necessary. I can't believe we forgot to envoy the stun on blanknote, though.

I heard it was envoyed and thrown out.

Oh and stop QQing about Maze, you are only saying that because I Mazed you recently

Glamours nerf is fine, as long as afterimage lasts longer. :>

You've never mazed me.

We didn't. We submitted it along with the DMP report, which means, assuming that we've seen the last of the DMP report envoy changes, that the admin must have deemed it unnecessary.

Uh wha? Afterimage is everything wrong with glamours.
