"Oh, I know, why bother having to CR?
And why should we have to spend time memming? After all, that distracts from play time..."

And yes, I do play a mage as well, and I don't think scribe time is prohibitive. Get yourself a drink while scribing.

moritheil

Maybe there could be muggers and such assailing obscenely rich people. Enough for it to be an annoyance.

I think beyond a certain level of skill (say, near master) fumbling could just be turned off, if you wanted it to be realistic. I mean here's a level 50 warrior, he can kill roomfuls and roomfuls of orcs at a time, and he accidentally drops his weapon? Umm.... no. However I *do* think it's realistic...

Compare command is from other muds... I do think Bards should get Lore but it should help out in quests and stuff. That would make them more indispensable. I know it's painful for people to do this, but usually "examine item" will work wonders for telling whether one or the other is better. Also, yo...

moritheil

ogres are still in need of something to give their class that extra Umph! and make them unique and worth playing. Because they regen so slow, and aren't agile or quick, I think they should be given significantly more hps than trolls to make them viable tanks. And just like pally's have horses flank ...

moritheil

I still say conjies should be able to create golems... it would be a pet, and it would cost a lotta coins, but you could stable and reuse it. Different golems for different skill levels, or such.

moritheil

agree with Chez and Mplor, dying always bit the big one for me. (partly due to druid exp issues, which may or may not have been fixed). I see no reason to make death "more evil," or if so, certainly not for those below level 46. On a side note, because it's past 3am here, I don't understand why peop...

moritheil

Necro hps used to be too high, so they were lowered... altho I fear they may have been lowered a bit much.

btw, would it be imbalancing for necros to have more than one "heal undead" spell? Maybe something like "cure undead" at lower levels?

moritheil

the tiny roots should be changed to rogues - it makes sense that they could trip people, and then the exp could be upped. But it should also be made such that they can't wield weapons... I'd hate to be backstabbed by a root.

more zones for em = good thing.

moritheil

an elf head hacky sack.

Back in the day, Pril found a bag with the platemail of life and flaming earrings or something once.

moritheil

Think he means java page which used to exist.

Road Trip. . .

moritheil

Mal - yeah, elves used to be so tight-knit :P I daresay we were even more communal than trolls in some instances, passing on eq and advice, and CRing players unknown to us.

moritheil

hehe :P I did "enter sojourn" straight and missed out on the eq... the light didn't bug me as much because I grabbed one from my guild (yesh, we're speeeeecial :P ). But the 1 notch ac difference or so might have meant slower leveling for me

moritheil

I for one would much rather be able to tank better at high levels than to hit. Kelsiria - dunno about you, but my role was always the guy who casts random bonus spells (bless, bark, faerie fire) and notices things others don't. Why? Because my healing and my damage were both < others' :P Which was a...

moritheil

been away from the board for a month or so.

Isn't warrior/rogue what they were trying to avoid when they killed the Merc class?

Otherwise, sounds interesting.

well the ability to go afk might be useful in determining who should really be cut and who is likely to return shortly...

moritheil

Bring back griffons...
er...

but giving 'em ress might be too much :P

hmm Jaeron...
I think Toril was pretty balanced...
and what's wrong with SC balance? (I speak of the BW expansion) :P

moritheil

Hmmm... it could be a balance issue to prevent excessive dam. Or it could be that you can get one blade in but not the other? Hrm... that doesn't sound quite right. Gotta be balance.

moritheil

Hey guys, Just thought I'd post an idea that came to me in response to Rags post in another thread (I posted it on necros, but it has relevance to conjies). Basically he said there can be no soloing classes, since it would be unbalanced once said players got into groups. My solution was to have a pe...

moritheil

why can't someone use a 2her? I don't see the logic behind this... Can't long lances and the like be legitimate mounted weapons?

moritheil

I agree, Til's idea makes the most sense.

moritheil

just an idea... I think it'd be cool if at high levels the snakes could have a chance of proc'ing a random effect poison. Just like pris has a very small chance to para, the snakes would do a random poison (most likely one nothing or just poison as per spell, then blindness, then an enhanced poison ...

this is the way it worked all of last boot too, I think.

moritheil

Xaril! Heya! :P It was always my understanding (biased, cuz I'm a druid) that there would *always* be useless circles for every class, or spells that were in the wrong circle and thus almost never used. Does the staff intend to change this? (not sarcasm, that's just my understanding that the mud wor...

Yet again the tide turns... I led a group involving 7 pc deaths and 1 (purchased) pet death tonight. Very messy.

Yon average newb is not barb-worthy, at least not till there start being throngs of ever-helpful highlevel barbs. There is a message for EM, right? Saying you'll be cut off from help and exterminated by vengeful kobold hordes? :P

moritheil

hahaha... and druids group bark? Maybe "throng of tree spirits"? =P

moritheil

I have notched offense twice today (and that's 6 hrs of mudding or so, maybe more).

moritheil

Agree with the big slimy troll. Even ant farm isn't connected... I can't possibly think of a whole bunch of newly raised 40's doing too much in terms of spoilers. Plus, even if you're 40, if you're a newbie you're not going to be able to zone that well. A lot still depends on the MUDder himself/hers...

moritheil

bah warriors don't need int... you can be like a certain friend of mine who spent 20 min searching for a hidden entrance :P

moritheil

OOC in combat - yes! I'd love to see it.

DI 7th circle? What would people *do* ? it could be waaaay twinky.

blink is screwy, bolt is weak (as it has been for a while). Agree.

moritheil

just wondering, how many ppl actually remember 5k fires and such?

moritheil

1) mob backstabs have often owned players.
2) you don't have to exp on BS mobs.

As they say... enjoy.

Actually, experiments (involving condemned prisoners) have shown that the brain is alive for up to 30 seconds after someone is beheaded. So you'd be able to see a fleeting glimpse of your body above you. 30 Seconds does sound awful long, but I believe that was the maximum that the brain was alive......

Ragorn, A lot of highlevels togged afk when they didn't want to be bothered with random questions or the like. As such, I think the use of afk was understandable for those scenarios. AFK 24-7 would not be appropriate, but I didn't really see that so much as it was 'we're doing hell don't tell to us ...

Things like disguise, detect traps, and picklock would make a fitting part of the bard repertoire. I don't really see bards training and getting good at backstab, however. Maybe, though, due to their extensive travelling and studying people and places, they could sense when they were more likely to ...
