I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in the frustration with bots that claim to be buying items but don't have the gc or the inventory slot to buy them with. I actually wonder if it's possibly even against game rules, since the bots advertise on channel 3 what they are buying, and afaik, fraudulent ads are not allowed on ch3. I think the best thing would be for the bot coders to add a test in the code and only offer to buy what they actually have gc for. What do people think of this?

Hi all, I've had a problem on Linux that middle clicking to rotate the camera can use an item if you misclick in the inv window. I asked on channel 6 and windows users don't seem to have the problem. I've made this patch to make using items in both the inv window and the quickbar require using the left button only instead of allowing left or middle. http://www.reptileroom.net/elstuff/item-use-left-click-only.diff Hopefully this can be accepted. Thanks, Q

That's great too. I just wanted to make as few changes to existing behavior as possible. I wasn't sure what would/would not be wanted. Thanks! Q

I don't have any on test but can loan you one on main if you want.

You can still cast it from a quickspell icon. This bug is in the magic spell window itself. It must be searching for image ids instead of names or something similar.

I like the idea of allowing for more use of magic in the game, especially with more spells and spell types such as area effects. However, boosting harm damage to nearly 200 (some people can already harm over 100 with existing attribs, etc) sounds too overpowered. That's a 2 harm kill to most players, even wearing rdholam and mol. Boosting rem heal a lot would be very nice too. @teotwawki - in order to think of everybody, you have to think of what it enables higher level people to do against everyone else, not just how it would effect them independently of higher level people

Stop the crying. The huge number of pears you've already found is payment enough. You keep making claims that it's nothing but non-pear hunters "against you". Hey, guess what? I've hunted pears and I voted for cooldown. Stop making false claims about whether or not people have hunted. You don't know that, and can't accurately state it. I believe I'm being singled out here yet again despite not being the "best player", nor ever claiming to be, just on equal footing with a few others who also were willing to put in the effort to be good at it. And gee, why do you think you are being singled out? Is it perhaps because of your king of the world attitude? Maybe it's because of the way you treat people? Once again a statement you can't back up.

I've done some pear finding myself and understand what Burn means about the race part of it, but really it's just being found too fast. I voted for a 30s cooldown. This is enough to keep someone from checking 10 maps in under a minute, but still keep it from taking too long to check all maps. 30s cooldown would make it take a maximum of about 40 minutes to check all maps, which is still pretty reasonable. On the "teamwork not being profitable enough" - I call complete BS. LNX has found it a couple times working together and I think everyone was pretty happy with the results. You divide up the costs and efforts, and divide the eventual profit. Assuming efficient teamwork that divides the work equally, the time/risk/reward ratio is exactly the same, just divided by the number of people. And really, with more people working together, the risk part goes down since the chance to find increases. I'm sorry if certain people in this game are complete misanthropists and can't stand to do anything with other people, but this is an MMORPG, so teamwork is supposed to be encouraged.

You could still get attacked up there if you tried to range from there in an invasion. Monsters ignore vertical distance (z axis) - only horizontal distance (x/y axis) matters to be far enough away not to get attacked.

The "pk crap" is completely appropriate as an example of your willingness to discuss subjects YOU know nothing about. Yet all I see is you ranting about other people talking about pears, claiming they shouldn't because they don't know anything about it. They are merely pointing out the hypocrisy in your statements.

One of the many reasons to always have tele essences on you

I voted no, and yes. My no vote to the first question is only assuming "even though there are multiple ways to still help". For the end of the 120+ invance, there is no way for a lot of the lower level people to help. They would just get in the way and cause problems if they either can't tank dragons, or can't be useful shooting them (full AP and decent range level). However, as long as other mobs are still left people should be fighting them instead of standing around doing nothing. Regarding min equip - I would say min steel instead of tit for 120+. I normally go in BD torso/cuisses and ID greaves, but if I didn't have drag, I would prefer going in steel vs tit because of the higher armor value. Tit is only better for the heat/cold protect and no -2 acc penalty, and no -1 def. As rokk mentioned, very high level people can help a lot by tanking without armor, allowing others to join the fights. There should be some sort of exception to allow for that too. I'd say tit short, steel shield, and augs for 40-60. I went with that equip with my alt several times and think I was pretty helpful doing so.

I hope the tele to range can be restored to 24 steps. The original problem with the hydro can be easily solved by making some of the tiles unwalkable in that area.

[radu @ 6]: nvm found the bug [Aislinn @ 6]: that was easy [Raz @ 6]: gratz! [radu @ 6]: the problem was that only the first player got the exp [DarOH @ 6]: \o/ [Devnul @ 6]: that was fast [radu @ 6]: the next one got half, thne next one 1/4, and so on That was ~5 minutes ago. I assume the next server update will fix it.

I'm busy some nights, but will gladly go when possible. I've been on a few WTF already. 130/128 a/d 48/48/18/14/4/18 attribs range 66, WH perk mule level 12 I have all the equip needed of course too. With neutral or better astro, I use therm too.

Time is not terrible! thats under 2 minutes That's 2.5 mins actually. My best time on the intermediate (larger map) is only 118 seconds

Hope you are having fun playing For camera movement - have you tried clicking and holding down the middle mouse button? That gives you a free view to set the camera as desired. Since you're a new player, I also want to take this chance to warn you about instance enter scams - some people (check disputes forum for more info) have scammed people by luring them through the rooms in the MM battle hall. Just to warn you, all 3 rooms in the battle hall are PK rooms - instances are entered from the NPC in the first part of the battle hall only. Don't trust anyone that tries to get you in the back rooms.

It would really depend on what else was fixed along with the wipe. As long as gc sales and char sales still are allowed we'll eventually end up in the same situation anyway imho.

to think that people will stop selling gc, or that people will stop buying it is ridiculous. Sure he can ban most people, but there will be some people that will find a way around or do it for a while without getting caught ect. Just because you can't eliminate a problem 100% doesn't mean you can't drastically reduce it.

Nerfing the brod effect by reducing the chances or making it more breakable will still not solve the problem. It needs to go away completely imho. No matter how low the risk, as long as the possibility exists, many people will avoid it all together. I know I basically never went to KF at all before the mage pants. I didn't want to have to fight with a cotu instead of my NMT. I still don't go often, but I'm at least willing to go with mage pants. They still break though, and then you can get brodded if you don't either replace the pants with another pair or quickly dis/tele out. Giving the current brod some other use or effect (I have no idea what) could be a good solution. Having the NPC buy them back at the orig price could be another option.

One thing I worry about with these suggested changes is the impact they would have for PVE. Considering that PVE is the main activity for a very large % of the player base, changes to help PVP/PK that hurt PVE are probably not a good idea. For example - most people kill nasps using a FA in melee. If FA become unusable in melee (regardless of how much sense it makes), then nasps are going to be MUCH harder to kill. Current tuning of the number of nasps in instances, etc has been done with people being able to use FA on them. Harm spells are another example. Being able to do 200 damage with a harm in pk is grossly unbalanced. But in PVE, considering the cost of the essences, mana, etc vs being able to do the same damage w/ ranging, it's pretty well balanced already I think. My basic point is that I think for PVE things are pretty well balanced already. I understand and agree that PVP changes might be necessary to balance things better - let's just not screw up other aspects of the game in the process.

I only use them with very bad harv astro too (red bar). No events = no breaks. This is why I decided not to get the child of the stars perk.

@DrtyDevil - If you want people to read your posts, try using some punctuation and maybe even capitalize the first letter of each sentence. Your current run on posts make me not want to even read them.
