I'm not one to throw stones about having pissy attitudes, but, you know, crying the blues that you can't wipe something off the face of the earth in one hit with the weakest elemental spells is like bitching that you can't instant-kill something with a shuriken.
And in the face of the fact that the spellpower delimiter came piggyback on about a dozen new spells (including more powerful elemental ones), that makes bitching about it come across as pretty damned ungrateful. _________________ An eye for an eye; but my eye's worth more.

I really can't agree more. Some people commed their finds...3 hits with jolt vs 8 headbutts to kill. I still think Magic is a little overpowered if that's the case across the boards! _________________ "I reject your reality and substitute my own!" -- Adam Savage

the only gripe i'll have one magic comes out is that i'll have to start lugging ammo around, and ammo is heavy.
then again, it's my own damn fault for refusing to train strength, ever.

Being a mage and waking up to see my flame wave gone and my lightening bolt gone and changed into other spells okay i was fine with name changes has happened before.Then i go hunt.... what i could kill with 1-2 yesterday took me 14-20 today. Did i bitch? No...i commented on the comms about it. Should I have brought it here? Mebbe but I wasn't sure if it was just me or all mages that were having this issue so I took it to the comms.
And to Zamde (apologizing now if you get upset but....) I don't know if you were talking to Faith or you were talking to me on the comm but I'll say it right here I think how pissy you acted was just rude especially considering that you of all people prolly know more about the whole new spell situation than we did. I think I was very civil on the comm today unlike you, yes i said that i think that things were off but not once was i bitching or whining as you put it. that being said, its done and over but i think you need to apologize for your pissy attitude to us mages when none of us were actually bitching or whining. [/end rant]
Do i think magic needed tweaking... YES. But I think that Psi's are way more overpowering than Mages are in my opinion. I will admit i enjoy 1 hit kills but I dont hunt my level either. I hunt darga mostly and with my being 72nd level, they are a bit below me but its what i enjoy to hunt so thats what i hunt. So to 1 hit kill something thats bout 30-35 levels below me I can totally see, it is realistic. Now if I were in Nowbi or something then nah I wouldnt expect it at all.
I think this new magic system has its pros and cons. Im not quite certain im in favor of it all yet... these pages a bit complicated at first but im gettin the hang of em now. I do wory for new mages and for the non-mages who like using spells and are now stuck with the only the weak ones but I guess that is part of the perks of being a mage, getting the best of the spells. I trust Trev will make it to where everything works out in the end I just kinda wished that we would have been forwarned on the severity of the new spells, and such so that we wouldn't have had this whole miscommunication happen in the first place.
