Rigby, mind letting us in on why we are seeing a shortened duration on the on the EM spell or if it's just a bug?
Thanks,
Dread
As was pointed out to you by several people in another folder (including one who has over TWICE your magic) nothing has changed. It has been capped at 30 minutes since its release as far as anyone can tell and seeing anlas in the perceive of it was more than likely a messaging thing.
Let it rest.

>>1 anlas = 30 minutes
Come to think of it, didn't one of the GM's say there was some sort of problem with anlas in messaging, that it was counting itself as half? Isn't an anlas supposed to be 1 RL hour, 4 IG hours, but in some cases was counting itself as half of that?
Would explain the bug, if that's the case.
Oh, and Dread: you ignored this question (twice) in the other folder, so I will ask again. Did you just see anlas in the percieve messaging or did you TIME it and actually get an hour's duration?

An Elanthian Day is called an "ANDU." Each andu is divided into twelve parts, called "ANLASAEN" or more commonly "ANLAEN" (the singular for both is ANLAS). >>An anlas is roughly a half hour of real life time.<< In turn, each Anlas is divided into minute-long units called "ROISAEN" (the singular is ROISAN). Now, in High Gamgweth, "ANDU" actually means "day," but since each real life day here is really four days long for our characters, "weeks" is the common translation.

"Bonus? My PP skill is sitting at the same place your PM skill is Krin. It has proved to be pretty reliable in the passed and yes I was seeing "anlas". It was coming out this way consistently up until around the change in the geni area, so I'm thinking that the area change might be effecting the duration some how."
"Oh, and Dread: you ignored this question (twice) in the other folder, so I will ask again. Did you just see anlas in the percieve messaging or did you TIME it and actually get an hour's duration?"

It was answered shortly after you asked it and an anlas is a half hour. I was looking for feedback from people that could actually cap out the spell themselves in the first place and might be able to give me some valid information in return(someone who knows what there talking about). Have your super mage friend post his thoughts. I'd be more then happy to read what he has noticed about the subject.
Thanks,
Dread

He already did. Name is Dritzfury and HE said he enver saw more than half an hour too.
Try making sure you read everything before sniping at people, bud.
Unless you are saying Dritz doesn;t know what he's talking about, in which case I think you are setting yourself up rather nicely. ;-)

I don't recall anyone(besides yourself) saying anything about EM ever have longer then a half hour in the first place. Read the original post over again and figure out what the issue is krin. Then try reading my second, where I suggested only people that knew what they were talking about posting.

30 min is the cap, bonus doesn't affect the spell duration or power anymore.

Little word of advice dread, just because you dont like someone, doesn't make their statements less credible. Stop trying to be a jerk and just listen for once. You attract more flys with honey...yadda yadda yadda

I did, and that's why I posted.
>>Read the original post over again and figure out what the issue is krin.
If you acknowledge that by "anlas", the messaging means a half hour, then nothing has changed with the spell since I can still get 27 minutes (my best yet) and I have a bit of a ways to go before I cap it. Then Dritz posted he still gets 30 minutes for a capped cast. So the spell duration hasn't changed. If you are still saying anlas means an hour, then you were insisting it was cut in half.
Either way, your original post asked about why the duration was changed ... BUT IT HASN'T.
So why don't you go figure out what YOU are trying to say before you criticize any of us, hm? Here, I'll even refresh your memory and paste your original post in this folder:
>>Dread>>Rigby, mind letting us in on why we are seeing a shortened duration on the on the EM spell or if it's just a bug?
Sure sounds like you are asking about a downtweak in duration, which hasn't happened, to me.

This is the last time I'm going to bother responding to your post. It hasn't happen to you because you weren't able to get a anlas in the first place with I was talking about in the first place. Some of us were getting "an anlas" and now we are not. I wanted to know the reason why, not have to sit here and argue it with someone that odviouly can't understand what was posted in the first place. It would be nice to get a GM's responce on this before the post strays any further from were it started.
Thanks,
Dread

You were being a bit unclear with your explainations Dread, so confusion is understandable... What Dread is saying is that he used to be able to cap it at an anlas, but now he can't cap it anymore. Not that the max has changed, but that it's harder to get there now. Most likely Dread is/was very close to where the skill cutoff for capping it was, so a very minor tweak, or a very minor external variable that's not been thought of yet, would be enough for him to notice the difference, but since not everyone has the exact same skills, most others aren't in that narrow band of skill needed in order to see the difference.

Most of this post is a big understandment, the original post/question was stated wrong, thus being stated wrong you got a different answer then you wanted
While you were getting the right answer to the question, you just gave them the wrong question, and then snapped at everybody and everybody snapped back and added to the confusion
So everybody just relax noones wrong or right in this arguement, so just drop it

Hmm. Actually this was the original question posted in this folder.
"Rigby, mind letting us in on why we are seeing a shortened duration on the on the EM spell or if it's just a bug?"
And this was indeed the question I ment to ask..hehe..
The only thing wrong with the question was that I should put "why are SOME of us getting a shortened duration", to avoid alot of the confusion.
Thank,

No the 2 minutes doesn't make a big differance. I just wanted to know why it was change or if it simply a bug. If it was just a bug the post would of been a way to bring attention to it. If it was a change to the spell I was curious as to why we weren't informed. It sounded like a reasonable question to start out with, but some choose to make things alot harder then they are.
Thanks,
Dread
P.S. Still haven't got a solid answer yet.

Don't want to jump into the former thread on Earth Meld, but has anyone noticed it being harder to put mana into? I would swear I could get at least 45 mana into it easily, and just the other day with good attunement, no wounds and not using my whole harness I was backfiring as low as 38. Is it just me?
