  1. Ronaldinho_pl and woof

    Well PK maps are obvious in this, they are something you can call: free-for-all. On the other hands, I think that arenas were made to provide a place for PvP fights, promo fights for audience and such things and thus so they should or could be bound by some basic code of honour (such as not interfering in fight, blah blah, so many times said before). But rules are to be broken according to some... (I disagree with that, rules help to keep on track). But it's almost impossible to prevent that happening, instead of it, consider PK map as free-for-all map, where you can be killed by ANYONE (even your friend), you WILL NOT get your things back and it's YOUR FAULT, because nobody forced you to go there. I understand that you are upset of being scammed/killed/robbed (it happened to me too) and you want to punish that no-good-doer who did this to you, but you are in "no man's land, where no rules of honout are being upholded and friendly environment is not present". You are on your own there and you are responsible for yourself not to get killed. Train harder and when you have opportunity, return the killer that favour of yours... <sarcasm> Maybe there should be some KRAP (killing responsibity agreement policy) before entering such a map </sarcasm>
  2. new cloak

    What happens to polarbear/leopard cloaks idea? I liked that. Polar bears even drop furs and leopard furs is in some EL image file as well. So when they drop (or will drop) these furs, why not make some fancy cloaks out of them? Perhaps?... Polarbear fur cloak Ingreds: 3 polarbear furs, 1 snow leopard fur, 8 thread (needle in inv) Attribs: +6 cold protection, -4 heat protection, +1 armor (its heavier and warmer than wolf one) Leopard fur cloak Ingreds: 3 leopard furs, 1 feran fur (if possible), 6 thread (needle in inv) Attribs: +3 cold protection, -1 heat protection, +1 accuracy (as it distracts opponent with patterns on it maybe? ) -no need to model new one, just change textures in the old fur one (hope it's not too difficult)... The wolf cloak looks good, but there is no varitety, I have been also thinking about chimeran cloaks when chimerans are about to drop fur some time, attributes are not important at the moment, but they may serve as a trophy's to chimeran hunters (also the desert/forest cloak could protect against heat, mountain/arctic against cold, but this doesn't matter now). I know this has been suggested many times, but it seems that it always vanished without explanation or decision such as yes/working on it/no/we'll see...
  3. Ronaldinho_pl and woof

    I think, that he was not complaining about being killed in PK, but giving a warning to others that some people may scam you (talking in general), which this is the right place to post in. It's like some sort Thyralax' warning perhaps...
  4. FUBR "honarable?I THINK NOT"

    I agree that it's definitely annoying to lose items while PvP, but there is a simple advice: Wear only items, you can afford to lose, no EFE items, no capes, no CoL... I have been killed few times while PvP (mostly by red tags, so I can't complain and I won't), but by obeying this simple advice, my losses were low enough to replenish them in few minutes. And it's also good to wear a combination of disengagement ring+teleport ring, this will give you decent chance of not getting killed. Arenas give an opportunity to gain the most fastest XP but this is at cost that you can be killed. No pain, no gain, they say...
  5. Sound

    [ joke] Never EVER talk about dwarves like that again! We are honorable, hard-working blacksmiths and extraordinary craftsmen, not just some fairy tales beings! Our axes and hammers are deadly! [ /joke]
  6. So why do we need monsters?

    Awesome idea on contest! Good job
  7. What is your favorite C1 map?

    Best: Nordcarn (resources deposits, Glilin's temple, overcrowded storage ) Worst: White Stone (vast, storage far from everything)
  8. observation#22

    I changed my name from "ThordinElement" to "Thordix", people were upset when they were to type PM to me, bad for business
  9. Need Some Frames help

    The menu is looking good, but I too call for less bright colors, this would make some people to hurt eyes if watched for longet time... And good job. BTW: never, NEVER EVER use frames, they won't be supported long, according to W3.org. Use CSS instead, cleaner, easier and nicer CSS positioning will do the job better and it's more controllable and more precise.
  10. SSOTW: Best shot of...flowers :)

    The goblin walking away in front is the candy on the cake
  11. pookies

    Don't you just find it childish arguing about some "possible, maybe, not sure, etc." things like small kids? C'mon people, it's just a game, do not take it too seriously.
  12. SSOTW: Best shot of...flowers :)

    See this small little bushes on the left side? But this was a beatiful spot to lay my dwarven ars.... umm.. legs on
  13. Dreamweaver

    ROFL, but true either. I quite enjoyed HomeSite 5 and now I'm very satisfied with DW8, so version 8 is my pick...
  14. Flower/Economy Problem

    It needs to be done very gently, otherwise, it will overshoot and there will be too much money and very big inflation. Slow, gently and well-thought steps are required, tested and if proven beneficial to the game, then finally implemented. I agree on that issue that there is almost nothing bad with money bushes, but in issue, that you cannot earn more money by harvesting more advanced ores such as titanium or diamonds, which is very wrong IMHO. Let the flowers for the newbs (or PP greedy fighters ) and encourage advanced miners to harvest advanced ores/gems/whatever. The issue of selling everything makeable to NPC has been mentioned many times, it's not that easy as it seems, it must be balanced and very careful, otherwise it will cripple economy even more. In addition I disagree about NPC buying prices higher than prices of ingredients to NPC, players should be main buyers and not NPC, you can play single-player RPG then and chat over ICQ/MSN/whatever... . Interaction among players is essential and must be maintained. And to be honest, I tried to make couple of Kgcs from money bush and I experienced that it is incredibly BORING and I get almost no XP/hour! So here is a choice of having either gold coins or experience gain. And guess what is more fun? EDIT: typos
  15. Rusted armor

    Or make monsters drop unfinished parts of armor, so (me ) the manuers can turn it into 100% armor?...
  16. request

    Green day=no harvest (I hate this day almost as Labour day(=no mixing))
  17. way2kewl4u does not know how to "upgrade" armor

    Very, VERY FUNNY, lol, i've taken time to read the log carefully, it's awesome. Btw: removing sparks from EFEs for free, get rid of those and get a regular 100% FE for free
  18. New Charm suggestion

    I think that 3% is a bit too much, 1-2% would do the job same, but it would keep the decent chance to PKers either...
  19. Update test part 3

    I don't know if it's intended but EVTR blacksmith (can't remember name) is turned backwards to customers/anvil as he is looking on the door. I know it's not maybe the true bug, but shouldn't he stand turned face to face to customers/anvil direction?
  20. Screenie from pk contest last night

    Now that's the way to rescue hostage: via underworld Hehe, this has made my day, sooo funny, good work L&O
  21. Flower/Economy Problem

    You have to think how to solve it in general, tweaking one bush won't solve anything, it needs system change, just like I suggested, or if some of you have better idea, come forth with it...
  22. A co takhle česky a slovensky, he?

    On tu byl stále, jen byl zahrabán dole pod aktivními, takže nebyl vidět, toť vÅ¡e
  23. I think too much on PK

    But if there's no risk, there cannot be any gain, think about that. I liked that idea that rost would protect 100% sure the items in equipment slots and only 75% sure in inventory slots, then you could have some drops even if you kill someone with rostogol on. You could protect the most expensive things you have unless you are carrying more than one thermal swords or whatever.
  24. Flower/Economy Problem

    First of all, did you think on newbie players? Flowers are one of the best thing to level up in the beginning, just to harvest them and to earn some money for the start, you did that certainly too when you started playing, didn't you? Flowers are essential for making potions, so making harvesting illegal is not the best thing to do IMHO. But I see your point, blue lupine bush in PL for instance There were many suggestion on drastically lowering NPC buying prices at flower shops, the problem is following: either we keep it this way, so newbs will have some starting money income as well as starting experiences to level up or we tweak the prices, thus hardening the process of making money for the newbs. I have some idea, feel free to work on it deeper: Make NPC price dependant on harvest level, the higher harvest level you have, the more advanced you are, "so what the hell are you doing on the flowers?! go get harvest something advanced!", the less money you will receive from selling the flowers. This will keep low harvest level players on flowers to get money while high harvest level players will stick to titanium/silver/gems/whatever. And if you say something like: "but high level player can hire low level to sell the flowers for him!" Here is an answer: "it's cooperation, both will recieve some money and I see nothing wrong in enforcing players to cooperate."
