Greetings Expeditioners!
We have a few announcements to share with you today:
First, those acquainted with the Influence system should review the 1.1 Influence Appendix, as it has now been updated. The main balance change is that temporary items gained by Influence are now limited by batch size.
Additionally, all Culture packets are in the process of being reviewed and expanded upon based on a common format and specific world-building requests from players. These updates should be completed by the beginning of April.
We have rectified our image-hosting woes, and all prior image-based posts should now be fully functional again, including the Korahai makeup tutorial. Thank you for your patience! We are also hoping to create a major NPC database in the coming months to help those of you who struggle to remember names to faces.
In the interest of maintaining a relatively equal-opportunity character progression given that this is a limited-run campaign, starting CP for new players in 2018 and beyond will be increased to 50. Likewise, existing players who are currently at 50 build or less may be subject to an increase, in order to ensure that they remain on curve with the difficulty level of the game. We will do our best to ensure that prior donations made by affected players are still honored independently of this increase. (Please note: these changes will not be reflected on your character sheet right away, as we have several other priority tasks to complete).
Finally, given that this will be our first four-event year, we have drafted out an expected Timeblocks schedule for the coming year. Note that our mid-season Timeblocks will by necessity have the same due date as Evals; we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please note that this is an experimental schedule, and may be subject to change should it create unsustainable logistical strain.
-Event 1 Timeblocks due within 1 week, returned by Event 2
-Event 2 Timeblocks due within 2 week, returned by Event 3 (will NOT be returned by Summer Feast)
-Event 3 Timeblocks due within 1 week, returned by Event 4
-Event 4 Timeblocks due within 2 week, returned by 2019 Winter Feast
