I hear you Arkena, I just want you to consider something, though. Right now they make the most $$$ because of the way the system works, as described in previous post. If we switched this over to a strictly keep what you kill system, they would go from making the most to making the least faster than the time it takes to miss twice with a breach shotgun! Add to this that their suits costs the most (due to equipment) and they are extremely squishy (more often than not they die to core locus grenades not even aimed at them).

So while it would be fun and rewarding to keep what you kill, it will benefit slayers considerably more than anyone else. (anyone else including, people focused on uplinks, logis with reps, dropships with gunners, people who focus on keeping scans up, etc). I don't want the game to focus any more on "the kill" then it already does. I am already seeing people forego hacking just to kill more people.

Not disagreeing with you, just want to add food for thought.

Seriously? I have been stacking Krin's this entire time. This sucks. Well, I guess i can dual tank now.

Completely agree. The data is interesting, but is not robust. I'm surprised that he a drew a conclusion from this data which contradicts narrative (forum feedback and usage rates).

Haven't studied a bit for my English final, because that class is a joke.

Yeah, I was surprised and concerned he drew a conclusion as well.

Barbers were once surgeons, in addition to their other roles. The red on a barberGÇÖs pole is a reference to bloodletting. Barbatorem is both, a warrior of sorts, acting with surgical precision on whatever target he is directed at. A recurring theme in earlier stories suggests that he was sent against the summonerGÇÖs enemies, almost always powerful figures, and he brought them to ruin in the worst ways. He does not seek out mischief with those who summon him, but he takes advantage if one is offered. For this reason, he is a reasonably safe entity to summon if one takes care to follow instructions. He serves as a better deleterious sending against an enemy than he does as a boon-giver. This author and three acquaintances have summoned and used him without issue.

Physically, he rends his victims, and the surgeon aspect becomes evident in how he inflicts the maximum damage possible without ever killing them, though the methods change as his form does. He will mend the damage with an expert level of care that exceeds typical modern standards, if it means keeping the victim alive. Despite the blood shed in this process, his victims typically die by other means like starvation or dehydration, unable to move under their own power or communicate a request for aid, due to a lack of limbs, missing tongue and teeth or a lack of working sensory organs, and the isolation that follows an attack.

On a more abstract level, Barbatorem deals a deeper form of damage that is hard to encapsulate in this text. Rather than state the myriad ways he might harm his victims, this author would suggest a few key points to note, suggesting the wider variety of feats he can accomplish: It is believed that he can sever his targetGÇÖs ability to access any higher plane, forever and irrevocably denying them whatever good things might await them after death.

YouGÇÖll find him waiting in the tower room, which you will need the key to enter. Staying outside the circle is first in your list of things to keep in mind, which I list here because there are no better places to put the warning. I should hope such obvious things donGÇÖt need to be stated.

Cast aside all notion of manners. Do not greet him, do not ever say please or thank him. Do not ask him if he would or could do something. Give him no food or succor. There are older meanings in these things and they will either free him or give him power over you. Sometimes it is very little power, and sometimes it is all the power he needs to achieve his ends.

Put aside all metal and reflective things before entering the tower room, and ensure the space remains dark. He exists in a more abstract capacity, whatever physical forms he takes, and if his image is cast in a surface, he will exist in that surface, allowing him to step free of that surface and the confines of the circle. For these same reasons, do not ever look directly at him, even for a moment, lest he be reflected in your eyes. Rest assured, he will not ever step free once he dwells there.

neat stuff

I think the Shotty got a silent buff, because I am killing folks atleast 10m out of Shotty optimal range. I think it has a max of 10m+ range buff, because outside that combined range, it does no damage.

ARRRRRRRGH I HATE ACQ

So.


Skin prices.


Tell me what you think.
