I'd like to see a way of locking my Gossamer training so that it doesnt decay. To be honest im getting a tad fed up of decaying ranks every 3-4 days. I know they dont get lost, but i dont want to have keep switching trainers.



Cant there be an option to have decaying ranks on or off. This way you can choose how it works. If your happy with one particular weapons training turn off decay ranks, if you dont want your fell ranks no more then turn fell rank decay on.



Its sounds so simple, would be SO VERY useful, but im presuming it would be a nightmare to code?



Anyone else think this would be useful.

I thought once you choose a subclass the ranks no longer decay. Can a Champion confirm this? I would rather they spend time implementing the subclasses than a system to stop decay outside of the subclass solution. Can a subclassed fighter train in the other blades? Do the ranks decay at the same rate as a non subclassed fighter?

Kojiro, Hmm seems odd my decay so fast then, i wonder whats different between us? I only have ranks in the gossamer. Have 80-100 usually and they decay, every 4-5 days usually.

Oh yes, and i agree that id rather have sub classes than this fix, but if its seems that they wont stop decaying whatever then... id like something done :P Im sure there lots more stuff that can be done apart from this, it just cant believe its that big a fix??

I think the actual fix was seen as adding decay in the first place. So that we didn't find ourselves totally screwed up by training something that was *not* what we had expected. I stated my personal views in the last thread about weapons reallocation. But as I said then...it wouldn't really affect me if people were givin an additional option, and it seems alot are asking for it.



Just guessing here, but I think the GM's likely don't see it as a viable option. It's been kicked around here quite a bit, and I'm guessing that the fix was adding the reallocation feature initially (to which I agree is all that's needed). Guess I'm sayin I doubt anything more will come from it if the GM's haven't already jumped on it by this point.



Doesn't hurt, of course, to discuss it...but I wouldn't be getting anyone's hopes up.

This sounds like a "good idea" initially, Fundin. But, isn't the idea of them decaying that they are specialized skills we forget? Having an ON or OFF option is like injecting a drug into your arm that makes it so that you have a perfect memory.

Check with Arod, He has lots of everything ;)

He might be able to shed light on Decay related to multiple weapons

The intention is that fell blade ranks no longer decay for Champions, gossamer ranks won't decay for Rangers, and bloodblade ranks won't decay for Bloodmages. Ranks for specialized weapons outside your chosen subclass will still decay.



If any Champions are still seeing fell blade ranks decaying, that's a bug.

Should probably close this thread too, now that we finally have a way to lock our weapon training!

They closed the other one, no reason not to close this one.

It's implemented, but not completely bug-free. However, the bug is known, and will be fixed whether this thread is here or not!
