Time To Discuss Barbarian Cultural Armor

You tell me to clutch my pearls when I kindly advise you don’t appear quite as civil as you claim.

You advise me to look back on how well behaved you have been to over posters and your first reply to someone you tell them to stfu.

I appreciate you feel you could have acted much less civil, you are likely right, but take a moment to reflect - you’re trying to push the project into changes that go against it’s core and you aren’t being entirely nice about it either.

Do you really think this behaviour is going to help achieve your goals?

If you think EoWinter is too rare then you need to find evidence toward it dropping more commonly in era instead of mouthing off against people trying to set things straight or help you.

The devs seem unlikely to give a second glance to a thread making unsubstantiated demands full of pages of ranting, don’t you think?

I guess you dont read? I was "uncivil" only to those who were uncivil to me first, and that is the only reason, so I am confused as to why you are only focusing your unwanted attention on only my comments.

This is a classic case of an instigator being ignored while the person responding to the antagonist is the one being harrassed. So, ill just say this to you too. STFU.

jimjam's one of the nicest and most level-headed people on these cursed forums.

seeing someone get this mad over barbarian cultural armor is objectively funny, but maybe you should take a step back and realize it's a bad look for you.

or not, we dgaf lol

He may be nice, but that doesnt mean he should stick his nose into where it doesnt belong or act as some community moderator. I recommend you follow your own link and click yes.

It’s a public forum. I’ve played a barbarian shaman both in 2000 and here (and takp) and like to use the everfrost / permafrost area. I’m committed to the idea of trying to recreate classic not some Frankenstein update of it. I’m sticking my nose exactly where it belongs.

Standing up for myself without being aggressively confrontational is not acting like a community moderator. I’ve given you a button to press if you don’t want to see my posts in your threads.

Back to the point, so you’re saying you think Essence of winter should be added to the everfrost icegiants as nonclassic custom content? Yes or no?

Lava rocks (dwarf cultural?) drop off much lower level mobs in lavastorm as well as the Naggyb giants. Perhaps, if we are changing EoWs as post classic custom content they could be put on mammoth type mobs. They’re peak wintriness imo. The calfs nicely match the lavastorm mobs levels too.

Im not familiar with ALL the components drop locations and difficulty for every race. Perhaps there are others that could be reviewed as well.

As for EW, I would suggest that they be removed from one drop creature, and added to another, closer to home. Or several, with very low drop rates. I would suggest adding them to the ice bone skeletons. The baby mammoths are very common, while the ice skeletons are far less common, and I believe are harder to kill. I dont want them to be too easy(or to hard) to obtain or commonly dropped. As an example, I used to farm iksar blood not long ago, and I would find like 5-10 of them a day in dalnir, with an appropriate level group for the dungeon. Some people I have heard have found more per day than that. Up to a stack of it per day. The entire day. How does that rate with essence of winter? I cant say. I have not yet been to hunt yetis or wyverns to find out how often they drop. But they are very far away from Halas, and so is CS, while all of the imbued cab scale temper items are all close to home and easier to obtain. Some easier than others.

It doesnt make sense to me why the essence would be so difficult to get right in halas's own nearby territories.(permafrost) or not at all.

Compare that to every other race's cultural armor componants are easy to get, and the armor isnt half bad.

Not sure of the exact wording of the old saying, but it goes something like this... "Better to keep silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and erase all doubt."

Putting them on icebones is a good shout as it would encourage people into the tunnels by the river too.

Not classic.

You seem to forget that you started this whole thing: Jimjam asked a perfectly reasonable question, and you attacked him for it.
