Classleads June 2025 – part 4

Hi all,

Just a small list of changes here revolving around the blackout affliction from report 3679. I’ll keep an open ear if anyone feels it should be further expanded, but I’m choosing to just keep it basic to start with.

Afflictions
==============================
– The ‘blackout’ affliction no longer hides target (2p) messages nor afflictions by default.
* Remaining default effects: hides health/mana/acumen, witness (3p) messages, room-based messages, and movement.
– The ‘blackout’ affliction now additionally hides how much you are bleeding as a default effect.
– The ‘blackout’ affliction now additionally hides the ‘shock’ and ‘burnout’ affliction and its message as a default effect.

Telepathy
==============================
– Telepathy actions on a target are now hidden if they have the ‘blackout’ affliction.
* Excludes friendly telepathic actions, Blackout, Command, Clamp, and Batter.
– Blackout cooldown lowered to 25 seconds, down from 45.
