As it is currently, you can buy a res stone for 5s and it gives you a 50% chance to keep your items, if you are a high faith mag priest (Only available to WL kingdoms) then you get an extra 50% roll to keep your items after the res stone is taken into effect.


 


This is not balanced currently as one group need to pay for a chance to keep their items (Blacklighters) and one group need to pay for an extra chance at keeping their items, but get the res stone effect for free at high faith.


 


I suggest either:


 


1) remove res stone effects completely from mag priests


2) make it fair and give blacklight template kingdoms (libila priests) the same ability at high faith


 


It makes no sense that one group has to pay for something with silver and the other group get this effect for free and can double it for the same cost.

Are you forgetting that anyone that is not a mag priest with high faith have to pay too?

No i'm not, that's the whole point of the suggestion, make it available to both sides or remove it completely.

 

WL chars have the CHOICE to either play mag for the bonus or not, we as blacklighters do not.

+1 Because priests in general need a bit of a rework considering Mag priests having more benefits then any of the other priests. Its obvious its not balanced and gets away with being unbalanced.

+1 i feel the stackable mechanics of res stone and mag faith bonus are too high and should be tweaked or reworked in some way.

Further to this high end gear such as drake, scale and rares naturally accumulate on magnaron priests since they can grab each others corpses and chain this double res stone effect in combat.


 


Some other solutions too this problem:


 


Only do 1 roll for mag priests, if they are high favour they use the free 50% if they die on low favour it then applies the res stone.


 


Remove the mag bonus all together, balance it with penalties to other priests.


 


Add the mag bonus to all religions and give mag something new to compensate ( such as Lurker in the dark, it makes sense for mag to have this anyway )

+1 Way too OP imo, I agree that BL should at least have the same ability as its a highly unfair advantage in combat.

There's currently a lot of balancing that needs to be done with priests, and this is one of many things that should be looked at.

If you want to have the benefits of a mag priest there is nothing stopping you from becoming a mag priest.  You made the decision to be a libila follower and the game should not be changed because you are envious of another priest's spells and abilities.  By the way, there is a game called checkers where everyone has exactly same abilities, you may want to check that out too.

While you're at it remove either digging or mining ability from bl priest.


They should only be able to do one thing like wl priests.

But there are multiple WL priests, and only 1 BL priest....

Just be grateful that you got strongwall/disintegrate...

 

That was another spell that was available with a cash alternative for those that didn't have the option, was very glad to see the developers make the correct decision and make that spell available to all.

Yes, we will disband our kingdom, pay a gold and refound as a whitelight kingdom to be able to get a free version of a paid item... Much sense, many logic.

food and health regen from sand pls.

I'd consider that a fair exchange for some of the mag bonuses aswell. Either the 25% damage bonus or the res effect.

No objections from me but in that case I guess we should also be given the 25% damage bonus since libila is a war god and our only option.

 

Whole system needs a rework, but until then I will settle for the res stones being balanced.

you are incapable of understanding what to means to balance a game. this isnt an eye for an eye, its for the greater good. im sorry you cant see past your own noes, clouded by selfishness and greed and laced with the need to be self entitled.         

Imbalance makes this game interesting.  Libila has spells that are OP too.

This thread is regarding the feature available to one group for free, that everyone else needs to pay for.

We totally agree, the issue is they are negligable compared to Mag bonuses. As lib we get NO bonuses except mycelium which isn't even priest only.
