That's... kind of the whole point. Testing it on Beta before applying it to the Live servers.

Went and found the exploration badges in Kallisti Wharf, and the Tip System worked as expected and I got the accolade. Have some thoughts on some of the wording, but it's late and I'm tired and want to think on it a bit.

Took my Earth and Electric out for a spin last night... Took a bit to get into a more Mastermind-ish mindest, but definitely ramped up the fun and ability to solo. (No more kiting a pet into range and hoping I don't get aggroed on! Yay!) I appreciated that my Gremlins have individual controls, though I didn't find much of a use for them. (Since, unlike MMs, there's no differentiation between types of pets.) Based on Mastermind play, didn't note any oddities or anything unexpected in how my 'troller pets responded to commands. I do not like the new floating text in the least bit. In fact, I loathe it. There's getting to be entirely too much visual spam in this game.

There is already just such a thread, though it's easy to miss in the huge wall 'o threads this Page needs:

Nice homage! Inspired by any particular citizen of the Land of Light? (Which is not be confused with the Land of the Lustrous.)

Where is that?

So, what differentiates this from an MM? I mean, as I read it, it's a weird and very specialized MM... but it's still an MM.

Yep. My main 'bots MM is a young lady born without an arm... So she built herself one for a school science fair project, and was encouraged to follow that path to help herself and others. But she soon realized that she could do more. So, after licensing her arm for production - she took the license fees and built her 'boys'. Now she splits her time between her lab developing new robotics - and field testing her developments. Most "I can't RP that" (or "that breaks immersion)" is lack of imagination, not lack of tools in game. I mean, if I (as none of those things) can roleplay a female dwarf cleric <mumble> feet under the North Atlantic on USN submarine... Not to mention - what the heck is 'heroic" about a plague of insects? You'd have to backstory/head canon/RP those too.

OK, new season stuff - life is a little crazy ATM, so I'm way behind, but do not sleep on Anne Shirley (an adaptation of Anne of Green Gables). The first episode was spectacular.

Anybody who works with any kind of technology, mechanics, etc... hates two things with the passion of a thousand burning suns: intermittent faults, and problems with mysteriously cure themselves.

The classic Angel Beats premiered 15 years ago today.... https://apprenticemages.com/2025/04/03/anime-playlist-angel-beats/

We didn't get a patch today.

Well, they say "offense is the best defense" and "death is the ultimate debuff"... But yah, a damage aura or boost doesn't fix the set's actual problems or even fit the theme of the set. So, hard no from me too.

The respecs earned through leveling aren't recipe drops, they're just added to however many available respecs you have. (Basically the same as crafting a respec recipe.) They're available through the /respec command.

You get a free respect every 10 levels... Just how many do you need?
