![]() In the past, it was more common for cabals to be founded around a single order, but that's no longer the case in the modern world. Just how they operate depends on their local representatives, but more than anything else they are like magical guilds that train and guide a mage, providing a philosophy for handling anything a mage might encounter (well, not everything.). Orders are like all the things you mention above and more. Regardless, recruitment into an order often precedes membership in a cabal, but it doesn't have to. The less zealous ones might recognize that you'd be a better fit in a different order and offer you over to them (the Guardians sometimes do this for prospects that just aren't up to snuff by their standards). Why does the Balkanised mage society have mages coming together in cabals and then on top of that, linking in with the special interest groups of the Orders, specially if they're so paranoid and protective of their secrets? How are Orders the bastions of the lost fragments of Atlantean heritage when it's not clearly defined how they interact with mages/cabals/consiliums? Are orders like political parties? Trade unions? Special interest groups? Philosophies? For example, if I join the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dusk cabal, am I then introduced to 'the secret, cabal-spanning mega-cabal of the Mysterium? Or if a local mage awakens, and they're taken to the consilium, how then do they get in touch with the Orders if each Order only exists through a number of like-minded cabals?Ī: Generally, when you Awaken you'll be approached by a mage who will try to recruit you for his order. Cabals appear to be the driving force in the section on Consiliums there's no mention of Orders, but plenty about cabals. Q: Could you clarify how Orders work within the context of the setting? I'm confused. Acolyte is now a word used to describe members of the Circle of the Crone.) I think the term is now used in Vampire somewhere, maybe something to do with the Ordo Dracul.Ĭ: (Note: This term is used in the Mastigos path description, and should probably be replaced with Sleepwalker. Q: Was acolytes just the pre-development name for sleepwalkers? When other books mention acolytes, do they mean sleepwalers, or are they something else entirely?Ī: Yes, it was the original name for a type of mortal who could be enchanted to witness magic without causing problems. Having someone know your real name isn't the end of your magely career it just makes it more difficult. There are still penalties based on the connection, the Mana cost, and other concerns (like the fact that the target can cast spells back through the conduit). The benefit for knowing a real name isn't that great, though - sure, it's easier to cast sympathetic magic, but that doesn't make sympathetic magic easy. Those that don't risk other mages uses easily gained knowledge about them against them. Besides doing funny things to a kid's psyche, though, there'd still be the name he was first given that would probably still act as a real name even if he doesn't answer to it (unless another name was used with more frequency during his formative years, in which case that becomes the real name).Ĭ: For this reason, most mages tend to withdraw from everyone they knew, beginning new lives. ![]() I assume that you could conceivably raise a child using many different names, not sticking to one long enough to give it a strong sympathetic tie. Shadow names and other adopted names don't have the same tie. Q: Are we going to get a clarification on what exactly one's True Name is?Ī: Well, there are no "true names." Instead, your real name - that is, the name you were given at birth or by which you were called during your formative years - has a significant sympathetic tie to you, and so it can be exploited easily.
![]() Like 5-10% play, because they unlocked the OSMAW (the rocket launcher - the ultimate answer to hackers/p2w) and just blow things in their path. Thats pretty much describes the current players. Other few play because they have already invested hundreds and thousands of dollars in a bid to be competitive. Mostly newbies will think its them (their skill) to the new game and not the fact that other issues are making the game more difficult for them. Its still fun if your not aware of the p2w, server performance part. Why some people still play it? Because ignorance is bliss. Client performance isnt any better either. The russian publishers do a better job and provide much better server performance. Their server performance is trashy too, instead of improving their service / servers, they choose to change the load of the server (ie something which has no cost impact). It only gets worse such that they change the performance of p2w weapons over time to make them less OP than the newer OP armas (their cash shop) exclusive weapons. Before that, weapons were released at $40-60 rates. ![]() They release weapons with lower TTK (time to kill) and recoil in ridiculous gamble boxes (where you have a 2-5%) chance of getting the item and not in any other way. If there is a definition of a Pay 2 Win game, its APB. Still playing every now and then (though its mostly dota 2). Ive been playing the Reloaded aka Gamersfirst version since beta. Saying that, you will always find one in either EU1 or EU2 at early hours of the morning in one fight club district, probably trying to livestream while I'm tk'ing him There aren't as many hackers as there were a few months ago but they are still around. I still love the game, and I love the Reloaded team, but G1 suck so hard it made me annoyed with the game. They've been re-balancing old ARMAS weapons and making some cash shop available to earn in-game so the pay2win'ness isn't so bad now.Īsylum just got released so played it til death now just waiting for more content which happens once a year with the small dev team. Things have changed a bit with the dev's being more involved with the community which results in more efficient conclusions to problems, but the proper G1 support is still a joke. Pure pay2win winners of contests and events are made to jump through hoops to get their prizes, even if they're only virtual prizes support is non-existant unless it's a report of a cheater. IMO the game is absolutely fantastic, but it's run by a company that doesn't have very good ethics. Example Code This is the function for the APB Reloaded Triggerbot. After you download the APB Reloaded Hacks and AutoIt, you will be able to run the script just like an executable. I still play it with a couple of clan members sometimes. Without this function, the APB Reloaded Triggerbot would not be able to functions properly, and we would have to find a substitution for it. Played it intensively for about a year, then died down this summer when I got into other games. ![]() The 7-color breathing LED that glows through the cracked design is fancy, but it’s the plug-and-play functionality and DPI optical tracking technology that really sells this accessory.

The colorful mouse is an aesthetically pleasing design with contours for a comfortable grip.

The flashy and decorative design is about as intricate as this mouse goes, but its easy-to-learn layout and low DPI will appeal to newcomers to PC gaming. Some, like the LIIR G125, is about accessibility for more casual players. ![]() – No programmable features for in-depth gamingĪ mouse doesn’t have to feature a ton of options to be a gaming mouse. Two side buttons provide some added convenience for certain genres and the center DPI switch gives you the access needed when it’s most crucial. Though its 6 buttons are not programmable and the DPI tops out at 1,600, the adjustable weight, anti-slip surface, and ergonomic design are enough to make this worth considering. ![]() The Interceptor has room for improvement to become a high-end option, but what it does provide is enough for casual and semi-serious PC players.
