Oh, to be sure: skills increments from fighting or hunting is now double as fast as it was a few days ago. Since I had the impression training went too slow.

To be honest, that doesn't change anything.

Skills are okay if you have them from spawning. It doesn't change the fact that randomly assigning skills to old characters was highly destructive. I wasn't happy about it originally... but every single change makes things worse.

It's very hard to build societies if everything you do is swept away without thought.

Is it? The problem is, I have no idea what expressions are typically Irish, and which are not. I already understood that 'in fairness' is very Irish

...

I spoke English before coming to Ireland, of course, but here I really improved my daily conversation skills - now I find speaking English all day easy and I think in English. But I don't know what of what I learned is Irish and what is general English

I'll try to move to the US after I graduate ... we'll see then how it goes

...

Is it? My own exact question. As a born-and-raised Californian (my parents are both from here too) I'm rather surprised. I've said "in all fairness" before. Hm...I don't know about "Oh, to be sure." though. Haha. Ya'll come back now, ya hear?

It is?

Anyway, stop getting off topic, people. This is a serious issue, and ignoring it won't make it go away.

Games where you have to hit lots of animals/people/monsters all the time, and as many as possible, in order to "raise stats" aren't for me. What is all that anyway? A sort of point and click version of a gym for nerds?

The fact that this wasn't needed in Cantr was why I began playing in the first place. Anyhow, it's been fun, though it was much more fun when I first started.

Do you ever stop complaining?... At least make your whining constructive. theres way more people like it than the ones who dont. Youll probally say yea right or something so if you really want me to ill make a poll

I dont mean to get on you about it but when ever some one dislikes something on the fourms they whine about it and its never even constructive its just.. whining people have ben comaplaining about people complaining but at least all there complaints actually explained why they disliked it. And you said "The fact that this wasn't needed in Cantr was why I began playing" well Cantr "doesent have -IT" if the it your talking about is skills theres always ben skills.
And I purposely made this thread to praise the new implement not to complain about it

Ovault, if you are going to attack me or Socialogist... please try and make it coherent. I have no idea what you are trying to say in that last sentence...

It almost sounded like you were saying there have always been skills in Cantr...

:lol:

But that can't have been it. Nobody believes that do they?

Skills!!!
