Thank you thats what iam talking about... sorting/managing waypoints to have always a clean map!!

ok i capitulate ... there is nobody who understands me iam not talking about pathfinding or setting a path.. i talk about MANAGING the Waypoints. Giving the user the possibility to sort the waypoints and fade in and out a waypoint or waypoint category to get a better overview... but nevermind ... how i said i capitulate i cant resist this much of ignoring the point of my posts.(maybe its my english). And if i make you a little bit angry plz. dont kick me out of the game . i would be in future the little player without an opinion. So close this thread, its a waste of time.

We have rings, you can walk, and there's the occasional teleportal shortcut. Anything else becomes too easy. Why... ahhmmm WAYPOINT System.. This is only a way to manage Waypoints. Not to get Faster from one place to another one. I have posted an Image to make clear what i have in mind.

He what about my postet Waypoint-System Suggestion?

exactly thats what iam talking about ... it would be attractiv to players to have an eyecandy thing. i know that some players are liking rudimental games... but this is a 3d game so i think beautyfull things(useless) things are good too get players... or not?!

Did you try CS? Did you see it in action? What about it? it only visibly to the player right? If yes... why dont ya use the same technic to put more animation into the game?

I cant hold myself ... this i have to answer what about crystalspace? What about the F9 key?

And another suggestion to the Advanced Teleport to Range thing. Maybe it can go like this: 1.) you have to be Magic Level 35 2.) read a good high pricy bood 3.)Then you have to make a Special Waypoint. This want a special spell ... lets call it "Curse a place" (whatever) 4.)Then you have to make a daily donation to the Magic-School to focus the magical force to this point. The Advanced Teleport to Range Spell want maybe a special Sigli lets call it "kitoen"(KirktoEnterprise) this sigli will cost lets say 10K gc and you can use it only 10 Times. Ethereal Points Cost... all of them 5% Chance to go to Hell 5 % Chance to go to a differnt place ... maybe pkmap and after that you damn hungry too. And you need a cigaret

Instead quoting and give an comment to all post, i think ill make a real suggestion to stop beating me. Waypoint-System This is only a 5 Minutes Work.. but i hope it shows what i have in mind.

This is the sort of answers i like... unfortunately iam a java programmer not a c/c++ programmer. But i would be happy to help with the modeling and texturing.(its my new hobby to play with high-end 3D Modelling Software) thats what iam talking about... maybe its easier not to make the whole combat complete interactive... maybe more like deciding a tactic with the possibility to change that one or two times during combat

What should i say ... you are right? Do belive you that really? He THIS is not WOW ... omg.. i never said i want a game like warcraft, by the way i never played wow and i never will. I think iam not the only one who wishes a little more of... whatever that are things the community and the Devs have to think about .. maybe a crafting/manufactoring window or something like that Good ... i dont know i dont have the statistics A question ... why do you quote the whole text?

i have found only a cvs patch ... ? Very usefull for players without experience in compiling C programms But if theres a usefull version ... tell where where i can find it

I know the title is a little bit provocative but i think it hits the point of the pain. Ive played during my last 4 years of lifetime almost 3 years StarWarsGalaxies and one year Project Entropia. My Person: Computer Specialist, Java Programmer, 3D Design (Maya,Blender), 34 Years old. (Thats only for the little Critters here, which are thinking iam a fool who dont know what hes talking about) So now to my Suggetions/criticism (or whatever you want to name it) 1.) Graphics: LowPoly low Texture: -In the 21Century with Computers which are on an average of more then 1GHz and good OGL Cards. Hmmm Isnt it possible to improve this? Its all about the Client ... The Server has nothing to do with this. I know how difficult it is to create good LowPoly Models and i know too, the difficulty of good Texturing, but out there are so many creative People which where pleased to give their knowledge and time for a good challenge. (Me included). 2.) Interaktivity/GUI/Figthing and so on: - For Example ..Harvesting. The Character Stands arround and is harvesting. The Point .. standing like a statue. A little bit more action would be a great improvement. - The Map: A Good Waypoint(WP) System whould be great. There is a Map, where you can set a point as WP but if you are marking points, lets say at WhiteStone, you go do a mark, your futher set another mark. After while you are loolking at your map. You can see that your waypoints are becoming useless because their are overlapping. My idea is, at the Map Display you have a Feature where you can blend in and blend out the Different WPs, maybe a Categorie System like a tree. - The Maps are not very sophisticated. Lets take Portland as example. Their is a Harbor(surprise,surprise) and the Map? Its more the map of a little Fishermans town. Wheres Harbor there is life, action (a redlight disdrict ). - Fog of War ... you can see almost everything important on the map. Shure its cool to download a map where is all marked. But wheres the fun of exploring? - Fighting: What about special tactics, special moves, more specific Fighter Classes... there are so many possibilities to improve, to give the players more fun. Ok i can do spells, wearing special armor or weapons but this isnt real interactivity. - Magic: Teleport to Range ---> what about Teleport to WP ---> higher costs on a high level maybe magic 35 and all of you Ethereal Points - HUD Ok its cool ... but hmm, more slot, more slots. - Hexagon Walking: Its a pain to see my character walking like C3PO. - Walking over Bridge... The bridges are an arc... i cant see steps ... so why my character i walking over a bridge like he has the hiccups. - Manufactoring/Crafting/Alchemy/Potions ... again ... Statue At Last: Eternal-Lands is a free game, the Developers are doing a great job without payment at their spare time. So Thanks for the Game. The reason why i do this criticism is because i think we are going to loose players in the future.. there game named "Ryzom" they want to make it OpenSource and free like it happend to Blender(NaN), or Guildwars without monthly payment or Project Entropia its Complete Free(maybe not ). So i think we have to improve much more on EL to dont loose the race. I love EL , ... i want to see the game alive. So now you can start beating me or you can think about it and maybe we can start a good discussion.
