  1. Sly Fox (Let's Go All the Way)

    Why have a rare drop on it? Why not alott of something common? 100 fox fur.
  2. ticklemonster would gain from the suggestion if only enhanced uni meds did not keep breaking so fast. nathanstenzel woulf gain from the suggestion for book writing if only he could find more book ingreds. IP fast regen spot and numerous other fast regen spots would be filled to capacity alot more of the times. FR folk in fast regen spots would probably benefit alot. Amber prices may drop. Trice feathers and other book ingreds would probably go up.
  3. Game change announcements on @6

    You can't save all of the bots from people taking advantage of a good price. Some people will not update their bots very often. Announcing things ahead of time, would help some bot owners, but might make things worse for others. I suppose this is part of the price we pay for having bots.
  4. Game change announcements on @6

    http://www.eternal-lands.com/manufacture.htm will often be more up to date than the client's recipes on at least a few things in the year, so it is well worth it to have it bookmarked.
  5. EL on a tablet?

    http://www.howtogeek.com/116637/htg-explains-what-is-windows-rt-what-does-it-mean-to-me/ Wow. MicroShaft locked out all applications that are not approved to go on their appstore. It is essentially a copycat of the iPad setup. If you were to get EL running on that Windows 8 RT system, it sounds like you would have to find an emulator app on their appstore.
  6. Inguild ranks

    Oops. I forgot to mention that they need to be online. Of course, the side effect of that is that you can test to see if someone is online that way.
  7. EL on the move

    You may notice we are shifting to OpenGL 2.1 with the features restricted to those in OpenGL ES. SDL, which EL uses for rendering and such, is getting an upgrade too. We might actually have ipad, iphone and android native clients by the end of the year if things go well enough. I do not mean remote apps either, I mean the rendering and the entire game client would be on the portable device.
  8. PK/combat summoner

    I don't know if JRATS actually pk's with any of his summons, but when it comes to summoning for invances and invasions, this guy rocks. When it comes to what type of critter you summon, I personally think that lower level summons could actually help. I summoned simple brown rabbits to keep an MB spinning between the fighter and my summons. Oric said it helped quite a bit. I figure if you summon one or two strong monsters and then either tank rabbits or something really simple like brown rabbits, the weaker summons will help your stronger ones even if they poof quick. As for what rabbitman said about p/w/v, does not sound too bad since you will have high toughness, lots of mana, some carry capacity, some rationality and some charm. I once had an alt that had monstrous rationality, but no carry capacity and while his magic and mana rocks, he could not haul, so you definitely don't want to skimp on the carry capacity. I would probably suggest doing the p/w/v like Rabbitman suggested and then work on coordination and instinct. I am only summoning 35 and I didn't build a character from the ground up to summon, but it sounds logical. I would advise you to know strategies so that your summoning build does not go to waste. For example, summon from the north because summons seem to almost always spawn to the south of you. For pk, I imagine you would want to walk away from where you were or people would know about where you were. The distance between the summon's spawn point and you is probably a relatively fixed distance.
  9. Avatar Eyes

    I remember talks about this from 2-3 years ago. Good luck with it Roja and whoever helps her out with it.
  10. Inguild ranks

    If I recall correctly, you can #rank playername for anyone that is a lower rank as you that is in your guild and you will get their rank as a reply.
  11. Daily time left

    A #daily_finished command to get the last finish time might be easier since it could be done client side without knowing if there is a special day effect decreasing the wait time between dailies.
  12. good way to level magic

    Using magic in combat is often good xp. If you want to fight multiple critters on a multi-combat map, you can can a harm/life-drain/mana-drain on something. Casting restore always gives decent xp. When it comes to the bears, just make sure you figure something out where you remove more emu than you gain during a round. I often train summoning and magic at the same time with the help of bears. I summon boars and cast shield while doing mana drain. on bears. Once a person summons bears, they can drain their own bear and have it help them kill the real vear.
  13. Little dragon Blue idea

    I would not doubt it if it dropped a small scale instead of a normal one. Small scales have existed in the game for a while, but don't have any use right now that I know of. Of course then, maybe Radu was planning on having the small blue dragons summonable.
  14. Mage/healer class, reloaded

    They probably don't want the mage to be strong unless the mage is "on their side".
  15. New item - Rostogol Ring

    Ok. How about this? Have a colored rosto that gives you a message with your coordinates in it, hyperspaces your db and replaces itself with a key to open the hyperbag with. The effect would of course trigger when you die. You will need to run to get your bag, but at least you don't have to worry too much about someone stealing your crap unless it is a pk zone and then the pker will have to gamble away a key to find out if you dropped anything worth picking up.
  16. New item - Rostogol Ring

    Pink rosto, huh? That does not sound too bad. I would rather lose my dis rings and HE and SR so the others can use it than lose my weapons, armor and medallions. As for the original idea in here, the rosto ring, it sounds like it would not be too bad as a supplement, but not a replacement for a rosto. It could be made perhaps more useful if it actually killed you and sent you and your gear to the underworld. With such a tweak to the affect of the ring, it should probably be called the go to hell ring. lol
  17. More use for amber

    Heh. It would be nice to have more use for amber. I have a stockpile of 257 amber.
  18. Updated Knowledge Tab

    Some organization would be a good thing in my opinion.
  19. New Special #Day - No Nexus Day

    Actually, I was referring to having just enough nexus to make leather helms, making 1 million and then being able to make the cool stuff on the day if it gives too much nexus.
  20. New Special #Day - No Nexus Day

    There are some items that take little in the way of nexus to level up a skill. Giving too much nexus during the day would mean that leather helms for example could train a person up to a manu level for steel plate or something. I was quite the mad hatter myself. I have mixed well over 1 million leather helms in my EL lifetime and with good rationality and/or emu capacity, the xp really adds up. This post is an added thought to my previous post. It explains how I think a person could get away with not spending much into nexus when the item you desire to mix is within the nexus bonus of the #day.
  21. New Special #Day - No Nexus Day

    How this would affect me: I already have nexus for everything but perhaps the top potions, but that might actually be skill that I lack and not nexus. (I have 5 vegital and over 30 nexus total). I would be able to train summoning via bear stones and make fluffy stones for myself. I don't currently have the nexus for that (I need 3 more). I would be able to save on nexus transfer stones or not have to wait to gain extra nexus. I would get less business mixing people's weapons/armor because they might be able to mix it without the nexus. Only my SKILL would keep business for me. A slight change in the wording of the advice I give to newbs. How this affects others: OMG! I built a fighter build or I am a newb and I can Attempt to do these wicked things on this day! I am high enough in skill to make this item, but never had the nexus, but this day changes it. I don't need these people who build their char to let them make it. Hmmm....so this is what I can do with more ______ nexus.....maybe I will transfer some nexus to this or put pickpoints into it. Nexus is for losers, I will buy attributes with my pickpoints and worry about non-human nexus that I need for using other skills later. If you put in the #day or not, I could live with the decision. I might recommend no more than +3 to a nexus (-3 to the requirement) though, just to avoid the notion that nexus else than human nexus is worthless and then everyone makes a fighter build and waits for an elusive #day to do anything else than fighting.
  22. Bigger Channel Limit

    Pro necro. I still want a higher channel limit too.
  23. Ever notice that there is either a large gap or intimate closeness when you sit on a bench with other people? I think doubling the x,y precision of the game will fix the problem. If you can sit half a space away from someone, there would be a comfortable social gap between you and the other person. The game would have to disallow someone from being within 1 square of each other. They would have to be 2(or 3) squares away. One side effect of this is that for what is currently a 2 square wide walkway, a person or monster could block it by standing in the middle when you have double the current precision. Some walkways might be recalculated to more than x2 (or x3) the amount of current squares. The increased precision would make a small change in the strategy for invances/invasions/etc and would allow things like archery slits. It would also take the game away from having a chessboard type tile placement system which would greatly increase the realism of the game and make the terrain system more effective when it is put in place. Optionally, damage could be reduced for some mines/caltrops if the damaged person/critter did not land directly on it and the sizes of those could be adjusted. Oh....and rats and smaller things could probably slip away from you easier since you are big and they are small and take up less spaces. That might have to wait longer though unless Radu can get the server code changed so critters actually take up more space. If he can make that change, this whole thing might be alot more likely to happen.
  24. Horse Ranch

    A horse being a separate critter....Interesting. It having stats might mean it is too weak to carry a rider that has too much stuff on him. There could be a dot on the map taken up by the rider and a dot taken up by the horse. The player would have to try to defend his horse too if he does not want to end up on the ground. A strong horse could try to protect a weak rider, but the rider would not get xp for anything the horse does. If the horse gets hit, it could throw its rider and maybe even fall on the rider (ouch). Of course, any of my idea and any of your ideas would probably need to be implemented a little bit at a time since it would not be a simple change.
  25. Is Global Quest Possibly Broken?

    Grapes were replaced by black dragon scales, I believe. New quest. Improved the stats of all the axes. Replaced grapes for global quest with black dragon scales. Some bug fixes.
