The number of members in the Sylvan cabal is > This is not a whine. Okay, it is a bit. I am honestly interested in what other players think of the "new improved" Sylvan Warders. One of the reasons they have almost unbelievable powers is that they don't use them to kill everyone, right? Well, times have changed. Now their numbers are huge, they do nothing but hunt, and they are successful not due to any skill, but due to their cabal powers, and that alone. I have seen no, and I mean no roleplay from almost any sylvans as to why they attack, and as to why the forests are dear to them. This is not my opinion based on one character, I have others, some quite close to warders. Is there a point where the immortals step in and say, what is going on here is absolutely wrong? Do we tone down their powers, do we up the powers of other cabals? Insect Swarm? Deadly, no way it can aid nature. Wall of thorns? Deadly, no way it can aid nature. I love the warders as a cabal, and have had one in the past... but there was no way we were anything like they are now. Please, some comments. And no typical bullsh*t that... ohhh, you don't see our roleplay.. ohhh, you don't see how we aid nature... oh, this is the pot calling the kettle black... please, only valid, well thought out responses. I have a little character who I was going to make a warder, but man, I don't want any more gangbanging idiots with little roleplay. Flame on.
about the same as it's always been since I
took over. It just so happens that the
handful of sylvans who are around right now
play at the same times quite often. During
other times, I rarely see any of them. So
to say Sylvan is "huge" is ludicrous. They
are relatively powerful right now, yes. It's
due to a combination of many factors, which
include but are not limited to the sylvan
player's skills, the disappearance of many
Master or Empire heros, and the lack of skill
generally in the Master cabal. A few months
ago there were the same amount of players in
the sylvan cabal, who had the same powers,
and had the same general skill level. The
big change has been the opposition and lack
thereof. Hell, sylvans now are fighting more
with ragers than either of Masters or Empire!
