I gained RPXP for the first time yesterday, but still have not gained karma in 7.0 despite doing activities that should award karma. And due to the -100/day decay, I’m in the negatives which prevents me from spending my 25k personal karma, so I’m stuck at tier 1. My petition was marked ‘investigated’ with no comment, and later deleted without a solution to the problem, so I don’t know what to do at this point. As it stands, I’m permanently limited to T1.

It seems like a clear bug that karma debt will prevent you from spending your personal karma because it subtracts any negative karma you have from the pkarma pool. I have 25k pkarma, but since I also have -1000 karma, the game thinks I have 24k total karma and tells me I don’t have enough to tier up.

The sheer number of new systems and major changes is definitely a little overwhelming, but I suppose that just takes time to get used to. There’s a staggering amount of bugs that make it difficult to figure out how things are meant to work.

The AI NPCs are very impressive and I think that could be used in more places. With a grid as enormous as this, it would really help fill the city out, since it’s essentially almost totally empty outside of a few ever-changing hotspots. Haven has always lacked a meaningful NPC presence, and this can be a great solution to that. I’d love to see anything from interactive shopkeepers to summonable demons, even if it’s just for flavor and RP without any mechanical impact.

Windermere is a little plain and generic. The campus is almost too realistic and thus kind of flavorless. There’s no obvious gathering place, no hotspots, and having like eight entrances leaves the place without a natural funnel for for player traffic. The lore behind the sphere is also kind of barebones, but we can work with it to build on that with our characters over time. I had just hoped for more of a hook that might give the place some weight. As it stands, there’s basically no reason to ever be there outside of calendar events. The room descriptions are very pretty, but the place is a bit dull.
