Just a reminder, when Test Realm comes online:
1. It's called Test Realm for a reason
2. I am here for feedback and to answer Qs about design
3. Keep the language family-friendly

Getting my ducks in a row to add XP to all the Novus quests, I exported all of the existing quest data.
Did y'all know there are over 3700 quests in W101?
Yes, yes, "and 3500 of them are in Azteca..." "Over 3000 of them include Belloc!"
Feel free to insert your own jokes here.

Head's up, Life PvP enthusiasts:
For Week 1 of Test Realm (coming soon), there will NOT be any scaling applied to healing spells or stats of any kind.
We WILL have systems in place to prevent stalling; week 1 feedback will determine the fate of healing!

I need somebody to help me decorate my dorm room so it looks as good as some of the players' I've seen.
Show me your school themed dorm rooms and if I like yours the best I'll meet you in game for a tour (and maybe a gift?)
I'm a Death main so I'm going to be biased - but fair.

Thank you to everyone who showed me their cool dorms. Lots of great inspiration!
I have chosen
@w101emily
as the winner!
It looks like the dorm room that is the closest blend of both cool looks and cool concepts I can duplicate.
Can I get a walking tour?

Ryan wanted some packs from the crown shop, so I gave him the "Burning Down the House" challenge:
If he could drag me from the master bedroom to the front door I'd buy him 4 packs.
We both learned a little bit about ourselves today. He's stronger and I'm fatter than we thought.

What's PvE Hard Mode? (HM)
The new Raid is a good preview, but there's more coming yet. HM may have its own rules for enchants, fleeing/rejoining, maycasts, triggers, etc.
The added difficulty of opting in to hard mode combats = better rewards. (And more fun, in my opinion.)

I hate it when a dev arises with a blacker heart than mine.
He has the Deckathalon tuned specifically to do this.

A "tech fix" to ensure that one of the new Lemuria shadow enhanced spells was not broken has been completed.
It will NOT be in the next Test Realm update, but shortly thereafter, all of the new LM shadow hits will be available in PvP.
Have fun smackin' each other.

, many people follow this account so I don't tolerate profanity, including text w/ letters swapped out, gifs and memes w/profanity, etc. Practice TOS guidelines.

KI Live is today.
I wasn't sure which would be more gross, refrigerated sardines or room temp sardines, so I got two.
Not sure which I should try first.
So glad my wife picked up the brand that contains "only the very best." Thanks for looking out for me sweetheart!

Ice Deckathalon Strat Thread. Goal
#1
is to get a Deckathlete's deck. If you have an Ice Deck 3 (D3) or better, use that, otherwise any Deck with a pip is probably your best bet. If all you have is a non-Deckathalon deck, use one where you socket your best flat Ice resist jewel.

re 600/day throttle: This account is curated to show mostly W101/P101 with some slight give for other gaming interests. So far so good.
I recommend curating topics so you see more of what you want and less of what you don't.
TR is coming soon, can't wait to see your feedback!

Quick reminder on getting follow backs from me, your friendly neighborhood Ratbeard:
1. You Follow me
2. I check out your profile description and TL
3. TL looks (mostly) family friendly and (mostly) W101/P101 related
4. I click Follow!
My DMs are open (for now)!

Over time, the combat experience of Hard Mode, Raids, (and yes, PvP) will become closer and closer aligned - so that players who engage in HM as they level up are more prepared for a variety of engaging end game content.

In the last week, among players 90+ in 1v1 ranked Arena, which school has:
1. the best or worst win %?
2. the most or least "lose by fleeing"?
3. the most/least characters played
Pick 1 and only 1 question, meet me in the Arena with the answer, and win a prize.

Sorry I missed it live but I'm watching BlakeePvP stream P101 from yesterday:
He's agonizing over character creation but I'll let you in on a secret:
ALL of the classes in P101 are cool in their own way! There's no wrong choice.

I want to clarify that last paragraph so it's not misinterpreted. The next *Test Realm* update - which is looking like Monday - won't have shadow changes. You'll see the first new shadow spell changes in the next TR update after that. We intend to have final changes before Live.

I'm keeping an eye on the PvP matchmaking queue. There are not many people in the queue, so you're going to get offered weird matches. I recommend you do NOT opt in "unfair" matches when prompted.
(I assume most people playing this morning are probably questing.)

This is excellent. Nice job, ALH.
Now - not to throw a wrench in your calculator, but Crit/Block has a "dev dashboard" we can use to tweak things.
Which we almost certainly will, based on player feedback. Too much/too little crit in PvP/PvE? We can tweak that.

Where it started:
"An eye, but instead of a pupil it has a blade (like a slitted cat's eye pupil)."
"Don't disturb the gods!" is kind of the vibe here. A closeup of the Storm Lord's face, he's obviously angry and he has blades or lightning in his eyes."
