The fighting pit in the tavern in Apoc is elite, shocked Armageddon hasn't stolen that idea even with people asking for it on the GDB.

triste is an embarrassment
staying on topic: playing apocalypse to me is giving me roughly the same level of enjoyment that arm did 2012-2015... it's fun, idk what else to say. looking forward to playing it until the dev burns himself out in a month

I know quite a bit.
Quite a bit meaning I read the basic setting guide for 2e (A lot more sparse than you'd think) and the Prism Pentad (5 books set in Dark Sun, I don't believe technically canon but basically canon. It establishes some facts that the book either doesn't or only hints at)
Psionics are still in this...weird spot I don't actually like. I'd rather there be no gemmed and Keredet instead sanction Psionicists, especially if there's an academy (Especially especially if you could get in as a non psion). When I think Dark Sun I think 'Psionics are A okay' and we've yet to get a Dark Sun Mud fully do that.
But yeah the setting is good/fun. If you liked the Dark Sun-bits of Armageddon, you will probably like the increased Dark Sun bits of Apoc.
Edit: Also Apoc has rogue instead of pickpocket/burglar. It's basically both, but without parry. So you kick ass and also suck at the same time. The lists are basically the same as Arm, find the skill list thread, but the branchings are all changed. Merchant only has to branch a handful of things and not every single thing, for instance. Rogue gets different abilities from different things (Getting sleight of hand from stealth instead of steal, for instance)
You can see the full skill lists, but not how high they get their skills, by just typing 'Help -class- branching' in game. You can't access this off the web though and posting it all here would spam the fuck out of the box so just use the lists on here and if you want to see branching just look while in game.
Nothing branches in a way that's too hellish/annoying though.
Edit 2: Literally just ignore Triste and they will go away. They haven't realized that coming back and pointlessly arguing isn't a show of strength, it's like watching two teenagers at a restaurant get into a slap fight behind the counter while you wait for your waffle that's been in the system for 30 fucking minutes. You don't accomplish anything. Just go to McDonalds.

triste is an embarrassment One for one insult: you're a talentless loser. Fun fact about Apoc, one of the staffers passed away while working on it, and the fact that it lives again probably makes him proud from beyond the grave.

I'm sure if you wanted to ask, you could hop in their Discord and ask if a class/sub combo had x or y set of skills you're after.

and you're triste, lol
on topic: atm the playerbase (which is like, in the low 10s at peak) works in the game's favor because it's a lot smaller than arm and less spread out. this is me trying to be optimistic. more optimism: apoc isn't run by sex offenders

I've seen more people in Shetno (There's two towns, both small, and only two bars [We don't talk about the elvish outpost]) than I have in Armageddon
In Arm I've walked around Nak and not seen a single fucking person
With like 30-40 people on
In Shetno I've seen like 4-5 people in the bar at once with only 10 players max.
There's also a hunting event this friday. Literally called a combat event so if you get started now you probably won't be set to do it, but you could show up and loot the people who die.

Just got a call from myself (self-employed) and I'm now making $12,000,000 monthly. Nice little pay bump! Anyway, how's everyone enjoying Apocalypse?

I make no passive income unless you count dicking off at work. But I'm salaried. Ya'll are silly.
What about Clans? Does Apoc have any coded clans? Joinable noble houses?
What is the total room count? I mean, how big is the world? I wandered Shetno for about 10 minutes and I really liked that it isn't this sprawling, overly-complicated place with no one to fill it.
Honestly, I like that I mostly know this codebase. That is what turndd me off of HL and Arx. Fuck a lot of learning the peculiarities and awkward syntax of a new game.

Apocalypse had more players online than Armageddon for a little while. Steam does seem to be picking up. I'm pretty excited!

Also, RPT announced for Friday, so if you were looking to get into the game and get a feel for things, this'd be a good time to get involved.

ApocalpyseMUD: Armageddon Reborn! Why not? I don't think the name is taken.

23 people on tonight. RPT was rad.
I went into Apoc with low expectations but came out pretty damn satisfied. Hard recommend to everyone still thinking about it.
