    @Chris
    Are there changes to Crit % still coming, and if not, can you elaborate on the current calculations? A ton of players feel (and alot of threads) that its not currently balanced nor are the numbers registering properly ( Averaging significantly lower then they should be ) . All bug report threads have been ignored other then 1 person claiming you had an announcement, that was never made.

    This is mad. The fact that you guys know the screen shake animation is making players sick and perhaps cause fits, and you guys rather not do something about it. Totally dont understand this mentally.

    Enchanted or not fabrics doesn't help against weapons as much as chain or metal.

    Additionally some people prefer to have the option of clothing and armour.

    If I had a choice between enchanted armour and enchanted clothes, I'd pick enchanted armour and mundane clothing.

    That's fine, my Kilt has no damage resistance, as one would expect. I simply want the capability to add a "+Int" enchantment to it or some such.

    And you believe having the capability to enchant said clothing is going to take that option away from you ?

    You don't need to enchant the clothing if you don't want to. :)

    @Berek @DarkStarr This list is awesome. Is there any chance to get the 'during post mortem' questions answered in such a nice neat format?

    It allows the devs to grief the players. Makes perfect sense if you think of it that way. 8^)

    How about blurring/shaking/knocking down just the characters instead of shaking the whole screen. Lock out the menu bar during this time (like what happens when a croc knocks you down.)

    It would also make sense from an immersion point of view to also shake/blur/knockdown all NPC's that are within a certain radius of the caster.

    Thank you @DarkStarr for answering all these questions. Per chance did you see my 3 questions posted on the original Post-Mortem Announcement. I know I posted it late with 15 minutes before the actual stream, so I was hoping they would get taken care of when you had time afterwards.

    Hang on there ... are you seriously saying that Portalarium could offer something that 'everyone' (your word, even though I am certain it would be a majority but 'everyone' is not right) in our player base would prefer to be how it worked, but we won't because Portalarium think they know better than their players?

    For some things about the philosophies in the game, it's fine for your vision to control what happens - but for the actual gameplay effects and experience on our screens, I do NOT accept it's up to you to decide for us. Think again please. This is the wrong approach, and manages to look both arrogant and out of touch.

    Sure.

    My #1 question was:

    Two months passed since @Duke Olahorand original "slave rebellion" thread for localization: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/localization-a-cause-for-rebellion.56764/

    You had your hands full with final wipe and land rush. I think you still have. But care to throw us another bone on the subject? TIA

    Im so glad this thread turned into people going back and forth on the screen shake.
    Theres other questions getting shoved out in the spam.
    Make a new thread or put it in the feedback to continue about the screenshake. ( and yes i agree with you )
    Chris, darkstarr, theres about 6 or 7 other solid questions wating for answers here please :)

    I'm sorry but that is not the same.
    That is the forum search and will not search correctly.
    i.e. Use that link and type 'key'
    The results will be avatar names (about 10 names)

    If you use the link I provided, you will get: About 3,510 results (0.30 seconds)

    FWIW

    When/if will be able to turn of the screen shake from earthquake?

    If we provided this option, everyone would just turn it off.

    So it means what? That people don't like it too much and it's more of annoyance than anything else...

    Its the same logic as the screen going red n darker closer you are to death. Youd turn it off if you could. Its a disadvantage. Its annoying. And its supposed to be. Obviously everyone would turn it off.
    You would turn off knockdowns, slows, dmg if you could. Thats what they ment. Jesus.

    Now can they get to the other questions please.

    I wouldn't. It's a great feedback, useful and totally catches my attention on a critical state.
