Bring back Ancestral Worship
The concept of Numen points were cool. Things like Prayer for bread/metal or Prayer for healing, or maybe donate LP as an experience bank for your next character. Or even strength of the ancestors.

It'll be back at one point or another, in one form or another.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.' Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 22, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway.jorb wrote:It'll be back at one point or another, in one form or another.

Re: Bring back Ancestral Worship
If you want to spice up the game with magic, "primitiv" people used to give food and stuf to idoles before huning to be safe or to call for the rain and improve harvet.
Just a suggestion, not ready to involve my family for this request.

Re: Bring back Ancestral Worship
I would love more interaction with the magic we see in the world. We know it's in the lore, but as players we can't really do anything with it currently.sabinati wrote:literally everything cool about it was the ability to abuse it
Naturally I don't want to see the old numen system, but the concept/gameplay mechanic of low magic/shamanism has tonnes of potential to be awesome.

Maybe we can have a less abuseable version(one where a martial/tradition PvP raider doesn't die three times in a row for a 87.5% boost from that 40 NP ability).

This would be cool, some small advantages. Not anything like back in legacy when you basically can get q3000 metal if you just bot enough numenssimimi wrote:If you want to spice up the game with magic, "primitiv" people used to give food and stuf to idoles before huning to be safe or to call for the rain and improve harvet.

I loved being able to summon bread.
That was the best thing about Ancestral Worship. Sacrifice rock, get bread.
