5/20/2011: The Temple of Osano-Wo

[Jay Luo]

Following the great battle in the north, a number of samurai have retired to lives of quiet contemplation at the Temple of Osano-Wo.


(Some ideas borrowed from Kakita Shinji's wishlist post.)

[Hida Joji]

Awesome location as usual!

One snag, another max Taint 99 action with no min 100 taint action in sight.

Plz devote some time to this issue. Spider guys and ppl who got taint are losing content and not making a choice, an interesting one at least.

Once again, thx for hours of fun!

[Shoju]

I'm perfectly fine with not being able to enjoy missions. But then.... Max Taint 99 Might as well me Max Taint 0 for me.

[Hida Joji]

I have 269 because I had no idea it wasn't a tradeoff... I'm not spider so I can't "hide" it... I?m stuck in no-man's land.

[Shoju]

You have 2 options.

1.) Endure the process of reducing your taint in Crab lands.
2.) Embrace the taint. I'll give you a cookie.

[Bayushi Haruka]

We've already been talking about future taint lowering needs.
Naturally you're going to complain because there is something to complain about.

You're tainted and you want to chill with people who just want to retire to a nice holy lifestyle.
All other 'WAH I'm tainted why can't I do holy things' will be thusly disreguarded.
Thank you and have a nice EE.

[Hida Joji]

Not the point.

I'm tainted and I would embrace it if there where a path to take besides increasing a number. I would gladly do missions in Festering pit, temples of whatever, I'd have a picnic on the back of the first oni. But I can't.

[Hida Joji]

Once again, AWESOME work being done here. I love it and appreciate it a LOT. Really I'm only speaking because this is a major point IMO.

Are you so tainted Shoju? I didn't notice...

It's balanced out by the huge number of missions tainted people can do that people who choose not to be tainted cannot Joji-san. If people want to stay low taint or no taint, they are basically missing out on a lot of the content in the Shadowlands... plus all the new tainted mines, tainted geisha house, the maho action at the Field of the Dead and Shiro Chuda, the missions regarding the disease in the Crab lands, and others besides.

Yes it's different than a choice in a way, but at the same time it's a trade off most certainly; exclusive missions for staying honorable and missing out on all the tempting stuff to do for drops, rings, and xp, or give in and miss out on the tiny number of missions tainted individuals cannot do.

I know a lot of purist people, I am not one of them with 800 and something taint, have pointed out the huge number of missions that give taint and infamy as well; one or two things is a fair trade off to me.

Sorry for the long reply but very well said Tadaka! I think this all put our earlier thought together about taint and non tainted job / subject / ... Jay seem to be well aware of is players ans try to content everyone. THANKS!

[Kakita Shinji]

;D I am deeply honored!

I'm gonna loose some glory here now

[Kitsuki Yuushahime]

Lucky Shinji! Very nice!

And major thanks to Jay. Lovely actions plus it's always great to have someone listen to the players a little. I for one am overwhelmed. Wheee for EE~!

[Toku Hirotomo]

Well, there it is. If I'm going to switch over from Kenpachi, I'm going to go the route of the monk. Great job, i really like that addition.

[Tsuruchi Ishla]

to Taint or not to Taint..hmm
Yes wish more Jays were in the world as far as Game designers are concerned ..but my impression of Jay-san is he's a kick-ass Bro

[Doji Naetaru]

An excellent addition. It is what the EE needed, just to give it a great boost in monk flavor. Plus, it shows that the mods take ideas from our posts as well :-)
