Isn't macroing illegal ? And if it's illegal... isn't that a confession ? Bal

- Your shirt / pants / boots fall in rags as you step on a small spider. - You try to rotate the camera to see behind furniture without moving there. - Your house is full of raw materials, ores, flowers, tools. - You always and only sit cross legged. - Your normal reaction upon seeing a rat is to kill it and keep the tail. - While tending your garden, you suddenly find yourself teleported in your neibour yard. - You try to heal wounded people at a distance. - You plan a trip in the Himalaya because you're convinced you can take on the yeti all by yourself.

By that, you mean that it is intended that there are ones 111 instead of !s ? Bal.

When the recycling center gets in EL and there is a determined set of materials for recycling x piece of equipment, upon failing, Tankel could at least give back the equivalent "recycled elements" of the broken equipment since you pay him for the repair (at least you can get back home with your scrapped junk)... Bal.

Coal is much faster to harvest than diamonds, and it would give engineering xp using only easily harvestable ingreds (ess + coal + tool)... that's enough motivation for me making them Bal.

Actually, you did get a reply... http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33376 Bal.

That would make a good low level engineering task, providing a new way to make diamonds. These diamonds could also be used for sandpaper, another low level engineering item, and air ess could be used for some interediate and advanced engineering items, thus creating a larger demand for them. Bal.

It might be interesting to know how much of those quantities belong to ppl who's accounts have been inactive for more than 60 days, 100 days, 360 days... That way, we'd also have an idea of the quantity of "potentially available" items instead of old and dusty storages. Bal.

Since the storage at store NPC is already sorted in categories, maybe it's not that hard to do. It's a great idea, but it depends on the priorities list Bal.

What if, instead of dropping manuable items, the monsters would drop an equivalent amout of money ? So, for example, if you hit your 1/xxxx chance of getting the rare drop, you get 30kgc (something like that) instead of a tit cuisse. The non-manuable items (books, for example) would stay as they are now. Then, fighters would have the money to buy (without changing the worth of drops they get), and there would be less manuables on market, providing better opportunity for mixers. The fighters would become consumers instead of flea markets. Bal.

Creatures on strike day : Desc : Monsters and animals are kind of groggy and bored today. They need a break and won't even notice what happens around them. Effect : Monsters will ignore everybody (like if everybody has MM), but players can still attack them. Bal

An easy solution for the brown day would be to double or triple the rec level for all harvests, so that for mostly anybody, harvesting will be possible, but so slow it will be discouraging. Bal

Hi, since I always have to click on "View all" to see the messages that dissapear too fast, i was wondering if there could be a client option so that you can set a number of lines that stay on the top of screen instead of making them all dissapear at (5 seconds?) intervals : If #lines > set# Collapse next line as usual each 5 seconds Else % #lines <= set# Leave on screen Bal

The messages dissapear as fast as they do now, but when there is (for example if you set it to 2) 2 lines left, they stay there until something new appears that make it 3 lines. Then the oldest line dissapears after the usual 5 seconds, leaving the two newest lines, that don't dissapear until something new appears. And since you can set the # of lines, you can set it to 0 and have the actual behaviour... Or maybe the "dying time" could be set so that the user can set the time to something longer than the actual 5 seconds. Bal.

Yes, but F1 covers the whole screen, and you still have to click or press something to see the last messages. What i'd like is not to have to click something to see the messages, thus the #lines stay alive feature... Bal

Good idea, maybe it could add x def or x armor against summons, but being immune seems too strong of an effect though. Bal

Another on imp thematic : The imp boss to the imp employee : -"Hey, you're fired" -"Woah, thanks boss ! " Bal

But then Uber players would have Uber positive effects, and new/reset players would have a ridiculous positive effect... The scaling of negative effects would be a good idea though. Bal.

Yes, i like that idea, it doesn't apply to all perks, but to some it might be a good thing and add goals to reach(like not beaming for x consecutive ingame hours in order to have access to scotty died, or making a quest to access some other perk, or dying 100 times in x hours to get hellspawn... ). And it solves the "You go at the wraith and start to glow without any reason" part. Maybe hard to code though. Bal.

IMO TPTPR is way too easy, too fast and too cheap with the spell. Bal.

Simpler : -No drops in arenas (no rost needed) so you can pvp safely (safely for your gear that is) -5 % or 10 % chance to lose item with rosto on pk maps, normal drop rate without. -non storable rosts OR rost takes 75% of your EMU Don't go in pk maps with things you can't afford to lose (anyway, even with Rosto, your item can break, so what's the difference). You want to be flashy with your uber equipment, then stay in arenas. This would also help average level ppl going to pk maps (for PK or other purposes) since there would be less uber-geared ppl there (what average player can stand against a full tit/COL/cutlass). Bal Yes, i do think Rosts are way too numerous in the game.

What if there was a ring of portals room, but no more spell of portal rooms (i know, i see all of you high level magic users rioting in WS with fists in the air). Then the ring of portals room would be very useful, but at a cost, and since it would be more expensive than specific rings, those specific rings would also sell for fast travel (since there is no more spell to do that). Just my thoughts, Bal.

Who's Bob the Gob's girlfriend ? Babe the Gob. Bal

A more reasonable and realistic way IMO : Instead of 50% chance of loosing an item, the rosto lowers that to 10%. You want to be safer, carry 2 and have only 1% chance of loosing each item. The rule is then simple : If you absolutely don't want to loose your stuff, DON'T DIE, period. You die and loose some stuff, don't cry, you're the one who took the risk. Then, if you succeed in killing someone, you have a chance to get some stuff. Bal

That's just an idea but : What would happen if the exp gained would decrease for a specific item as it does in fighting. That is, if you fight a 20 def monster with a 20 att, you get like 35 exp. If you fight the same monster at att 40, you get ridiculous 7 or 8 exp. So, if at alch 50 you make magic ess (req lvl 20) then you'd get only 7 or 8 xp instead of 80, but trying to make it at alch 10 would give you 100 or 120 xp. You wouldn't have the exp profit as a reason to flood a market with those, leaving this market for lvl 20 or so ppl. Instead of wasting your time on something that doesn't give much xp, you'd try to buy it from someone else. But then, the fail rate for these items would be grately reduced when you're at an higher level than the rec level since you gain less xp. Although this way would be more realistic in kinds of experience gain, there are still two big problems : -higher level products would have to give more xp so that ppl can still level up doing them, -and would need a market to be sold at reasonable price so that profit is possible. Just a little hand-waving at the situation... What do you ppl think, Bal.
