Shattered Kingdoms

Can we have the gate spell converted to run on the same timer that dirt kick runs on now so there's no more opening a gate on the tick and immediatly losing it nonsense?

Yes, can we please have this happen?

Ideally, everything should run on the pulse timer instead of the tick timer, including passive HP/mana regeneration.

So far, there seems to be a smooth transition underway, so fingers are crossed that it will continue in that fashion.

Yes, this would be great.

Due to the inherent limits of merc/rom codebase, I doubt it'll progress into Emlen-style pulsing completely, so that tick will always be there. But more affects like gate and such could be moved into there, I do agree on that.

I asked at one point. I don't believe that gate will be made to work with the fast-affects system.

I kept asking for gate to be held by concentration until the sorcerer/priest releases it but it never happens.

The only thing I'm worried about is lag. There seems to be worse and worse lag around the tick timer, and slightly more lag in general. The more, various, timers you add, the more you slow the game down...

It's been long suspected that SK has a memory leak or something is wrong with how the game handles memory over uptime. It gets worse as time goes on, and isn't that bad at reboot, if you notice.

From what I have seen a reboot does not help.
