  1. Charm of Annoyance

    But entering PK map is voluntarily, when some newbie with low A/D enters them, it's his/her and only his/her problem. Noone forces him to go there. It's a dangerous map and people should have accept the consequences of entering such a map. If one want to go to such a map, well, go there, it's one's choice, but don't cry then, when one get killed, for it's his/her "fault" to enter such a map. And this is a statement from an unexperienced fighter, if you want to train, hell. there's plenty of monsters here, if you want to PvP, go and find quiet arena. But do not restrict or punish players for doing the most natural thing in PK maps, which are there for that purpose... EDIT: typos
  2. Fixing some of the economy

    Don't you think that manufacture has slow process already? It's one of the hardest skill. Limiting the production won't help IMO, you need to find some use to products, e.g. the swords are kinda useless these times except titlong and serp.
  3. Update pereliminary test

    If you take the boat from South Redmoon Island to Idaloran, it's okay, but you land just before the boat to Melinis (which doesn't work in addition as Acelon said before). [FIXED]
  4. SSOTW: Pk fight shots!

    God's battle, Thor and Loki (the most n00b PvPers screenshot )
  5. SSOTW: Best shot of Animals!

    A contrary between polar bear and desert chimerians on the forgotten isle (invasion on 1st June)
  6. Invisible killer :o

    This could also mean, that someone may be guessing your password. (It happened to me and my friend too, those login/logouts that fast while we were robbed ), better look out...
  7. Shield Other

    Another point: why do want recover MP as fast as they are decreasing in PK? I just thought that is the point of PKing, to reduce MP below zero. With that suggested spell, that you can recover as fast as they are decreasing, what's the point then?
  8. Shield Other

    If we are talking about magic, I find magic immunity spell too powerful at level 30. Hell, you have 100% immunity with it. It should be 50-75%, not 100%. When you have level 30+, it's pointless to perform magi combats...
  9. I'm playing a...

    Allarounder too.
  10. I have done alot of thinking before posting this. From recent threads, I got impression, that P/C and nexi system is bit unbalanced. We can see lots of newbies with full plate serping the goblins in VotD gold mine. So I make this suggestion, just to begin general debate. My point is, that armor and weapons would require certain Physique and/or Coordination attribute to be equipable. I put some examples to make it clear (DO NOT take this number literally, they are only as examples) Armor Leather armor would need no P/C as it is the basic battle gear. Iron chainmail/iron shields would require P(10) as they are heavier and more expensive. Steel chainmail/steel shield/iron helm would require P(16) as they are the most common but still formidable gear. Iron plate mail/cuisses/greaves would require P(20) as they are heavy and currently the best armor available. Furthemore armor would get more P of course in due course... Weapons Iron sword/Staves would require no P/C as they are basic weapons. Iron broad sword is heavier, thus some P(10) needed. Steel long sword is more difficult to handle, so P/C (12/10) Steel two edged sword is heavier one, P/C (14/10) Titanium short sword is lightweight weapon, P/C (12/12) Titanium longsword as one of top weapons, P/C (16/14) Titanium serpent sword is the best sword, only the experienced warriors should be able to use it, P/C (18/18) I left axes and hammers, because this post would get too long Now, as said before, DO NOT LOOK ON NUMBERS, they are only as a description, I don't want lot of pages arguing b/c of P/C for certain items. I just want to know, what do you think of this system in general. P/C numbers can be discussed, if this system will be approved to use. Thank you for ALL opinions, but please do not chat here EDIT: forgot to say, human nexi for items would be maintained the same they are today...
  11. A/D requrements for battle gear

    OK, case closed, suggestion denied. Lock this thread.
  12. 24 seconds on FP? Can you imagine making diss rings with 36 food needed? Even with 10 seconds, I have to wait on another FP. The food as you posted it is just fine, but FP is pretty well balanced at the moment, no need to change it. And lesser price? Just count the ingredients price and food consumed. I have level 40 in potions and still I rather buy FP than make.
  13. Players playing monsters

    Hehe, mighty Hardcore shapeshifts into a rabbit, then noob comes and kills him.
  14. Shield Other

    I'd like to have paralyze/freeze spell, can be fun at chasing someone on PK map. On the other hand: accelerate/fastfeet spell. Or Fleshrend spell, when you hit someone and the spell is upon you, your opponent lose life continously (like a poison, but shorter period of time and more life loss)
  15. A/D requrements for battle gear

    This was supposed to guide people thru A/D system, not prohibit them. What is the point, if newb buys himself a full plate and serpent, he feels powerful, he goes to kill goblins, they kill him, he feels miserable about loss of items. Remember that not even grown up adults play this game. Also the people aged 11-14, do you expect of them to be reasonable? To get A/D maths well? Of course they don't, they get frustrated about it. I never meant to prohibit people, just to give them help and some guide, perhaps some motivation. Of course we DO like it. If we DID NOT like it, we WOULD NOT care to post here. This is only discussion, you don't need to get upset. I just wanted to post some feedback, some remarks I made in this game. If I didn't like this game, I wouldn't care playing it or posting this "shit" here. Now someone better close this, before we get into a flame war EDIT: grammar typos
  16. A/D requrements for battle gear

    Not a bad idea too, can you please work that deeper and more specific and post it here, so we can discuss it? And happens something I was afraid of: dividing people into two different groups: on the one side are more experienced players, asking for some system in equipment, on the other side are newbies, who are screaming to not take their toys away. The problem is, that people don't want to foresee. They want everything NOW, not realizing what to do, after they have it. There is no simple solution to this. One way or the other, there will be unsatisfied group of people, now we must to decide, which is bigger, which has future and what solution we choose. We can let this thing as it is and we will be hoping, it works long enough. OR We can try some improvements, hoping, it will make people stay here, not only new ones, but also the older ones, and further broadening the community, which will lead to better economy, perhaps better interaction and maybe more people to give USD for some stuff in the EL shop.
  17. diff color for #gm

    Everyone in the guild are supposed to know, who GM is, kinda pointless, no? But I agree on mod messages, they should be more highlighted...
  18. A/D requrements for battle gear

    Thats true. I have been trying to complete a guild quest for my guild and the reward is a serpant sword. If this happens all my hard work won't get me very much but of course it benifits the guild. But, it's shortsighted! What motivation left for you to get better equipment? Now, you may feel great that you have one of the best weapons, but sooner or later (hopefully later) you'll get bored of it... And FYI: i have full plate mail, titanium axe and CoM, if this would come in use, I shall be restricted as well with my stats of 33/37 in A/D And this is OPEN TOPIC, if you have better idea of your own, just post it here, but IMHO this issue shouln't be left without anything...
  19. Players playing monsters

    But during invasions it can be fun for they can act like Mortos' servants, more intelligently than attacking closest target they encounter, but it's easily abusable by teaming up on certain player to kill him and your mate picks it up tho
  20. A/D requrements for battle gear

    I was about that when I created this thread, but since this was my first thread, I was afraid to put a poll in it
  21. A/D requrements for battle gear

    I suggested this before. If you do not wish to restrict them totally, just take my numbers as recommended levels and below this levels, player would get penalized by lowering attributes of item (the greater level difference, the greater negative effect) For armor let's say: more food consumption, no protection, slower movement For weapon let's say: bad accuracy, lower damage, chance of getting hurt themselves by it But having ultimate armor and powerful weapon after few hours of gameplay, that's something bad really, no motivation at all after that...
  22. Burns n00b time waster

    Ice serp for 1gc is a scam like no other, totally obvious...
  23. A/D requrements for battle gear

    He won't actually be able to do this. A newb with A/D around 5/5 cannot kill goblin even with full plate and serpent sword. I understand that you do not wish to frustrate players by restricting anything, but catering newbs is maybe even worse, it frustrates older and experienced players that they have equal armor that the noobish "fighter" serping rabbits, which are almost killing him. And goal to kill better monsters? Hm, not much, if you ask me, but when someone sees you in the ultimate armor and powerful weapon in your hands, well, that means something. Something he earned, he worked hard for it to get it. Not just sit few hours at lilacs/blue lupine bush (two weeks were exaggerated, six hours is enough) and then get those plates bought then he drops DB at first agressive monster he encounter and get frustrated to lost it eventually. Not to penalize them, but to motivate them. QUOTE FROM WIKIPEDIA (bkc56 posted): "Many games have item restrictions that prevent new characters from using high-level items and upsetting game balance; for instance, Diablo II implements ability score and level requirements. "
  24. Village soundtrack or Hero soundtrack is playing on Winamp regularly when I play EL
  25. New map editor wishlist

    I love it, it seems almost like StarEdit for Starcraft, which I am familiar with. I hope is did not end in the rotten pit of past, can anyone post here, where it is, after he finds it? EDIT: I already tried to find it, yet no succes
