For Dulrik's next change, he'll implement a fix that makes the alleged women players of SK less completely snippy and dramatic towards each other :drunk:

I didn't think my post came off as snippy and dramatic, but helpful and honest, and Erevan is a dude. Did you even play back in the days of Linarumien? He sent me a friendly PM after I posted that.

I like the changes from a paper standpoint. I am not playing but am considering trying it out. I can see it making some religions more viable with their spells giving resistances. Also, bless becomes very useful for helping to fill in gaps.

Im not sure why people are complaining about not getting the awesome suits before. I might be wrong, but my impression is that the requirements were scaled somewhat to account for this? Perhaps im just reading into things with the change to spells degrading resistances(forgot the term and dont want to look it up).

This happens -all- the time now. Consistently. Can we please just skip this and get to the enchant/fading/blowing up?

Yes, it happens to me all the time too. It's super annoying. It's not less of a timesink if it takes just as long before the item blows up/fades/enchants due to the "nothing seemed to happen" message.

How well do you know the spell?

Dralan · **Posted:** Thu Nov 29, 2012 7:01 am

Superb, and this isn't a failure message. This happened even when you had enchant armor mastered, just much less frequently.

patrisaurus · **Posted:** Thu Nov 29, 2012 7:19 am

It does not take longer to enchant a suit than it did before. Persevere.

Dralan · **Posted:** Thu Nov 29, 2012 7:24 am

I'm not really complaining about it taking longer than before. I think it's just silly to waste half your manapool on a bunch of blanks.

Dulrik · **Posted:** Thu Nov 29, 2012 7:59 am

Umm... wat? You'd rather it fade or blow up then be maxed out? If you get that 5x in a row (and you have the spell mastered), you should take it as a hint that it is probably as good as you are going to be able to make it.

Previous to the changes, you almost certainly would have faded or blown it up instead, which would force you to start over. How does that result save you time?
