For the 4th or 5th RC, I have given the exact same feedback, and have yet to receive any response... This new RC is no different for me... my Stewbaby character is completely invisible in the new client. The only way I know where he is is by the name and health bar. As this laptop is only 8 months old, I would imagine it should be "modern" enough, and I have the latest drivers installed that will install. Video card: Intel 945GM Vendor ID: Intel OpenGL Version: 1.4.0 - Build 4.14.10.4543 Sorry but this is frustrating, as I feel that a valid complaint is being ignored. Any suggestions at all to try to fix this? Stewbaby

So, on this "last Pre-RC" release, I am still invisible. Looks like unless it is fixed I will be unable to play EL.

Hi there, no crashes, but curious invisible character persists.

Hi... curious results. With both clients, On one character (stewbaby) the whole character is invisible altogether, although I can see the name and health bar. Other characters are all visible completely, as are creatures and textures. Only my character is invisible. Alts are all visible when I log on as another char too. #glinfo [21:02:26] Video card: Intel 945GM [21:02:26] Vendor ID: Intel [21:02:26] OpenGL Version: 1.4.0 - Build 4.14.10.4543 [21:02:26] Supported extensions: GL_ARB_depth_texture GL_ARB_fragment_program GL_ARB_multitexture GL_ARB_point_parameters GL_ARB_shadow GL_ARB_texture_border_clamp GL_ARB_texture_compression GL_ARB_texture_cube_map GL_ARB_texture_env_add GL_ARB_texture_env_combine GL_ARB_texture_env_dot3 GL_ARB_texture_env_crossbar GL_ARB_transpose_matrix GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object GL_ARB_vertex_program GL_ARB_window_pos GL_EXT_abgr GL_EXT_bgra GL_EXT_blend_color GL_EXT_blend_func_separate GL_EXT_blend_minmax GL_EXT_blend_subtract GL_EXT_clip_volume_hint GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array GL_EXT_cull_vertex GL_EXT_draw_range_elements GL_EXT_fog_coord GL_EXT_multi_draw_arrays GL_EXT_packed_pixels GL_EXT_rescale_normal GL_EXT_secondary_color GL_EXT_separate_specular_color GL_EXT_shadow_funcs GL_EXT_stencil_two_side GL_EXT_stencil_wrap GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc GL_EXT_texture_env_add GL_EXT_texture_env_combine GL_EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic GL_EXT_texture3D GL_3DFX_texture_compression_FXT1 GL_IBM_texture_mirrored_repeat GL_NV_blend_square GL_NV_texgen_reflection GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap GL_WIN_swap_hint On the positive side... no crashes yet ;^)

I installed the Pre RC 2 and the client will not start, displaying a Visual C++ Runtime Error.

The point you are completely missing is that the 177k of extra exp Ghrae got was exactly that... EXTRA exp. It is experience points he would not have had at all (well he would have had 10% of it) if he wasn't wearing his meds. If Att/Def, Alch or Manu had a 120 item limit, don't you think folks would be prepared to take whatever advantage they could get to advance that skill? Harvesters get told their skill is a "newb skill", yet it is the hardest to level, as harvesting is the only skill that has a limit (plus the maximum exp you can get for a single harvest is around 120exp... depending on rationality), so harvesting exp bonuses are very welcome, and sometimes it is worth paying for the bonuses. You cannot buy experience, but this comes close.

The point is that in EL there are players from all around the world, and although I say "Happy New Year" at midnight here, it seems to go on forever, because we are GMT +13. While we may get a little tired of hearing the same thing many times, we really have to be tolerant of the "slow people" who only catch up many hours later. So at last, someone in game (even if it is a bot) acknowledges that there are time differences for players... and you whine... as Spleen said - Get over it! I am still fairly sure you will not explode either IRL or in game if your valentine arrives "early" or "late". Cheers from NZ, Stewbaby (TC)

Really? bin Laden, Hussein, and Gaddafi are all "in charge"... they must be getting good by now by your logic Perhaps, as we have seen over and over again, "a dog returns to its vomit", and a bagjumper or scammer will often return to old habits. My advice is if you must use a bag, be sure you don't put anything in it that you can't afford to lose. Stewbaby

Maybe look here... http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=39471 Thanx DogBreath for the guide Stewbaby

Um... ever consider that you may just be unlucky? I have broken one alembic of the original 5 I made... on the third day after the books were released (3 days to read the Cinnabar mining, alembic making and merc extraction books) and I have extracted > 10k of Mercury in that time. For every tale of woe, wailing and gnashing of teeth, there are many who quietly get on with it and make their commercial decisions based on their own experiences. Good luck, Stewbaby

I have to say that it would be absurd to introduce a cap that would make me... a miner/harvester who has NEVER hit another player or been hit by another player in any map... into a pinnacle predator due to high p/c. I have no interest in any attributes but P/C/W, and once they were maxed, I could consider I had "clocked the game". I like what Moe said ("if it ain't broke, don't fix it"), and I would even go as far as to say that to introduce a cap to try to make the game more nice for PKers may not make the PKers happy, but it will distribute the unhappiness evenly. I vote "NO". I also somewhat dislike the way the poll is stated, as it appears that either you vote "Yes" and are a sane, well-balanced individual... or you vote "No" and are an ignorant n00b fluent in l337 and nothing else. Not exactly an unbiased presentation. Still, I am but one Stewbaby in a sea of other babies. Cheers, Stewbaby

I installed as per the instructions, including sound, and despite all the scary posts of the last few months about Laptops with integrated Intel graphics not being supported... I have PERFECT gameplay!!! (well, as near as you can get on a laptop) Only problem I had was with the counters and spellbars... I followed the instruction to put them in a /data directory, when they should have been in "my documents" (a MS constraint I have successfully avoided being chained to since 1993 when MS introduced it in W95beta... until now!). Anyway... full steam ahead, and I install the linux version under Ubuntu Gutsy in the weekend. Thanks Ent and other developers/testers. Stewbaby

I like this idea... after logging in and after 10 minutes in the game with no warning, walking into the mouth of a Black Dragon in Idaloran, then today being online 13 minutes with no GIWS announcements at all, then seeing an "Invasion is Over" message. Given that we paid for GIWS initially, and still contribute to keep it going, perhaps this could be extended to give 5 minute updates, or mybe even tell someone when they log in. Thanx for the suggestion DB Stewbaby

I voted Saturday, as when the "Sunday No Drops Day" began, it was 7:15am on Monday and I was just about to log off and go to work. I always miss the big things cos they occur 18 hours late

Well, my project before last was to make 500 of each C1 ring... harvesting and making all ingreds myself. Then 5k each of SR, FP and BR (almost all by myself... a bit of meat donated by Matty27) Now... 1k each of Iron Sword, Steel Long Sword and S2E. Requires 160k of FE, 220k of coal and 370k of iron ore. May take a couple of days ;^) Next I want to make 1k of cabbages.

UTC +12 (+13 in summer) a.k.a. NZST and if you are interested, it is mid-winter now, cos we be south of the piece of string around the middle of the Earth. Cheers, Stewbaby

LoVE! But that is sadly gone. Now only myself and LochnessLobster and Lord_Vermor (and sometimes MooIIBattle) play. Then Guildless, now (TC)

Um... will the new features be available for users of laptops with recent Intel graphics chipsets? I only bought this laptop a few short months ago, and I can neither upgrade the video nor can I afford a new laptop each time the game moves forward. I would really like to continue to meet with the folks I have met and interacted with in the EL community, and am not looking forward to being excluded through stringent hardware requirements. Peace,

My 3 month old laptop supports the "bare minimum" and as I have just got it... I don't see me getting another to play a free game. Disappointing but that is life.

Gratz on the sale. Even better... gratz that your auction wasn't screwed over by uninvolved, non-bidding passers-by. I wish I was allowed to auction mine in the same way. Well done! Stewbaby

I was fortunate enough to find a Human Nexus Removal Stone whilst mining... sunflowers! I wish to auction this puppy, and I know they are rather rare. So... The starting bid will be 500k, with increments of 10k minimum. Leave your bids here, or contact me in game, either PM or Gossip (if I am sleeping). I will close the auction when I feel the price is right. Happy bidding folkses Stewbaby

OK... Item is withdrawn due to folks screwing up the auction. Sorry if any *real* buyer wanted it. Might hold it or sell it privately. If you have a *Realistic* offer, please PM me in game. Mods, please close this thread

LOL... some schools simply don't stress reading and comprehension enough... So I am ready to hear valid, serious bids.

Gee... are we not all so glad you didn't want to "come off whiny" or anything. I am sure that you succeeded in that goal almost as well as your search for the new stones. I guess you must really hate folks like me too... cos I was lucky enough to make only 17 SRs and get an EMP (Potioning being one of only 2 skills I have less than 30) . I guess newbs like me don't deserve luck in your book, and perhaps we should only qualify for these elements of luck when we are an OA over 80... oh, wait on... I am... maybe over 100. I say... get a life and keep on playing. Some folks are lucky and others are not... your turn may be coming.
