This also has become the focus of many in the community. Any help with this is greatly appreciated

So there is no misunderstanding or expectations, faction loot will not have their restrictions relaxed. We are however looking forward to what the community come up with for non faction loot that can be added to quests and drops. So thanks in advance for help with that.

We’ve asked the community to submit ideas for fun thematic loot that can be added to quests so we’ll see where that takes us first.

@V-Rage said in Loot balancing discussion (which can fix ALOT):

No. Don't make potions more expensive.

People shouldn't have to rely on crafting to get them.

Remember some people don't like crafting and if it was the only way to get consumables I'd just quit the server rather than be forced into something I have no interest in

This. Potion costs prices are not changing certainly in the near future.

House of the Morning and Greywatch are strongly influenced by the religious outlook of the faction leadership.

• Aster is an order of Paladins with a smattering of crusader types and Fighters. It is LG with NG added on
• Greywatch is a group of ultra law minded people backed up by the religious zealousness of its faction leader, Nahlo. The other religions/heresies that have found some things to align with the faction about are all Lawful. A pc in the faction doing what the faction is all about will soon find themselves shifting from any good alignment and the ultra application of the law is not fitting with the free minded or randomness of those embracing a chaotic mindset. This is why the alignments are restricted to non chaotic and non good. Not faction appropriate. If you really MUST be in the faction but don't want to be evil and/or Lawful then pick TN and let things develop ICly.
• Ravens follow a ruthless man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Any good alignment person who cares about their fellows and values the life of another or things like mercy, compassion, generosity, altruism etc (Good aligned) will soon find themselves at odds with many of the people in Tilverton and what the goals of the faction are.

Tl;dr

Faction have restrictions to provide clear cut examples and a road map to success for players. One of the comments from the previous versions was that the factions seemed to lack a focus or easily identified flavour for players to develop concepts around.

Giving this a bump for review of what the faction is about.

Their majesties wish an assessment of what the council deems the most dire threat to the realm so that they may allocate resources to support the membership's efforts. There are many priorities that each councilor holds but given the many worthy projects and demands on the Royal coffers it should be limited to one or two that demand immediate attention and focus of this Twelve. Once the list has been compiled the council will call a binding vote and begin.

//updated the topic to reflect such//

The efforts of a former councilor who left in disgrace and continues to be a source of a problem rather than any solution are incompatible with this body.

You serve the city at the pleasure of the Regal Council and that service is incompatible with a seditious group filled with members who consider themselves above laws of the realm.

It is unacceptable that actions of this body, have given rise to a group who seeks rally the very people it was founded to aid, against it.

Councilors, you are to find a way to work together for the betterment of the people or leave the council immediately. If you wish to prioritize any agenda other then service to the realm then this council is not for you. If you find yourself agreeing with the words of this group then you are confronted with working with the council to reclaim the trust and love of the people or you must leave.

There can be no middle path. You either serve the realm and the Council Regal as council representatives of the people and the many visions of what the realm should be, with a common cause or you do not.

Choose your service.
