Well, the nidbane change is understandable for several players or groups... but completely bad for other players. Most hermits, newbies and peaceful groups keep in touch to trade, share hints and help each other from time to time. Now most of these people would think they don't need rage, because they're not planning to hurt anyone, it's their choice. But once they get killed by PKers, nobody can send a nidbane after the criminals, even the most powerful allies. This encourages additional LP grind, people will sit for another hours to get more LP for that one mighty skill.

But the funny thing is, when someone decides to form a posse and hunt down these criminals. They'll track them down and kill if they're lucky. Now these dead criminals can easily gather scents and send nidbanes after those who didn't want other players to get slaughtered. So in final result, it's not even worth hunting down the real bad guys, because there's a chance they'll send tons of nidbanes at you, for bringing the justice.

And to be quite honest, I doubt real griefers are going to be discouraged by this change. If someone bothers to waste his time making alts merely for the purpose of annoying his enemies, he'll do it anyway, because it's still safer and more efficient than engaging them in real combat.

You know, if some nab makes a murder nidbane to get revenge, it's probably going to be rubbish quality. It's not going to get a kill on any decent player. Your q8 metal, dreams and wax aren't going to do crap. Unless by some chance they never login.

The only way you kill someone with a murder nidbane is if you constantly spam multiples, and the way you're going do that is if you have some decent industry and multiple scents. And the easiest way to get multiple scents is my spamming naked alts to get murdered. Hence, why they nerfed it.

You guys are crying about something that never happened anyways. Whatever vindication you felt sending your shitty q8 murder nidbane was probably a minor inconvenience at best and a waste of what little resources your hypothetical nab has.

This dreadful ailment's heavy toll;
The spleen is what the English call it,
We call it simply, Russian soul.”

Can you tell us the idea behind this change? It was really helpful to help my mate to butcher without destroying the Q of the HQ mobs, now she'll have to do everything just to be safe. I can't see how this was gamebreaker.

Can you at least make us able to inspect DEAD wild animals?

I too would like some feedback on that

Agreed. I can't even get fucking basic battle moves, not to even speak about getting them to 5.
