  1. I was just wondering if any sort of "balance" had occurred with the magic sword books.

     

    As far as I can tell there are three levels of pricing for the three levels of books:

     

    Generic Swords Construction

    40kgc (approximate)

     

    Elemental Sword Construction (Fire, Ice, etc)

    20kgc (approximate)

     

    Magic Sword Construction (Iron Sword of Fire, Steel Sword of Magic, etc)

    10kgc (approximate)

     

    My question: are the prices mentioned above typical from what everyone has seen? Is there any "normal" pricing for the above categories?

     

    I see those prices reasonable and fair, maybe with +/- 5kgc fluctuation. Overpriced books are too great luxury for poor EL economics IMHO.


  2. The formula should be somewhere in a book on c2, contests are a little unfair for the people who aren't on on that moment and have a fair chance to never know the ingreds of no one tells them ...

     

    Agreed, it should be some hidden secret books scattered around all Illirion to explore it, maybe most of them on new maps?

     

    Contests are very good and splendid to take part in them, however, only small fraction of players will be present when it will happen, which is not fair IMO, for all players live in different time zones.


  3. Heavyness is also measured in Newtons. Only the mass is measured in KGs.

     

    Translating (for me obvious word) from my language (with straightly specific meaning) is difficult.

     

    Of course we have two words for it too. it's just hard to translate it correctly, because dictionary offers me the same combination of words for each of them.

     

    Note: all science should use latin nomenclature as medicine does, do you know how easy is international medicine because of latin? :evilgrin:


  4. :evilgrin: I not against PKing. Just the concept of calling something an arena that is really a death trap with no rules. It is misleading to all new players and even us older players. It is a big lie on an otherwise great map.

     

    If you are scared of being trapped, don't go there then...

     

    And as for new players, there is a warning before they enter, if they choose to disobey it... (it's like crossing on red light, either you walk over safely or a bus smashes you, it's same here)


  5. Is it only me hallucinating, or everybody is against PKing these days? :(

     

    I do feel sorry for your friends (I was killed in arena many times myself), but...

     

    ...as I told in that suggestion thread, I think that arenas are part of the game, place where you can train, or watch spectacular fights of the top fighters. Removing them would bring even more decrease of PKing, which is bad IMHO. Arenas provide a place for easy XP but for a cost that you can be killed and potentionally lose some items. If you don't like arenas, simply refrain going in there, nobody forces you to do so. But removing them for a reason you stated above? :evilgrin:

     

    I suggest you for the next time (if you are not already aware of) to use combination of disengagement ring+teleport ring, so easy to use, so powerful it is.


  6. As a reply on scandium's request for formulae in new ency, Entropy has replied...

     

    These new items are advanced items, new players can't use them anyway.

    Which is why we want some surprise in the game as well.

     

    Which brougth an idea of mine.

     

    It would be nice, if these formulae remain hidden and only access to them (for limited time of course, let's say 2-4 weeks after update) was via NPC scattered in Illirion. That would encourage exploring and teamwork in guilds. (along with beautiful screenshots to personal collections :evilgrin:)

     

    If it's not possible for any reason, pretend I didn't say anything :(


  7. Agreed, there has been more special days than ordinary ones recently.

     

    Maybe this could be implemented:

    No more than one special day per 4 ingame days (24h IRL).

    The same day cannot be present again in less than 8 ingame days (48 IRL).

     

    That would ensure that special days are special indeed.


  8. well there are a lot of ppl for the lvl requirements... but entropy would have added it if it was good for the game I think... so he must be convinced otherwise...(if you could explain what the reason for not adding them is that would be a lot clearer)

     

    Hype

     

    I respect Entropy's decision (however I do not agree, but still I respect it) about that. He just thinks, it doesn't match his vision. It's his game after-all.

     

    If I say that I do not want to do something, it means that I consider that it does not match my vision on how the games should be, so it is not going to be implemented. Period.


  9. I have already suggested A/D requirements (here) on weapons/armor, and after a discussion, the topic was closed (on my own request), and this is what Entropy replied:

     

    And no, there will be no requirements for the armors. The requirements are intrinsic.

     

    However I am supporter of level requirements as well. I wish you good luck in your effort, although I think it will be most likely in vain :blink:


  10. Trading Book of Ice sword for Book of Fire/Magic/Thermal sword (fire preferably)

     

    Negotiations possible... (means that I'll throw in some gold, but don't expect fortune :))
