    I just watched this interview and I just want to elaborate a few low level player things I would like to see.

     

     

    1.) Low level monsters need more spawns and/or more mini-caves that have good monster density. I find myself roaming a lot more than killing. Some spots are decent, like northern desert pines in the woods is a small areas with reasonable spawns but a zone like White Stone, you kill 1 mob then run 2 minutes before you kill another. Would be cool to have more spawns but also a bunch more mini-caves (Kinda like rat cave in noob island) for monsters like white rabbits/beavers/brownies/skunks/wood sprites/deer...    Same goes for monsters like male goblins. There is that gold cave in Valley of the Dwarves, its a 1-man camp spot and its usually taken. Tested Naralik, again, camped... There is just not enough spawns even though the playerbase is low. (Some games use channels to help with this but adding more spawns or adding more caves would do the trick)

     

    Some Spawns are better then others, and some are hidden away.. Explore......

    2.) Horse Rental as another option. Daily/Monthly/yearly rental.  The current dropped horses are 15000 steps which could be changed to 1 day. Then if you want monthly/yearly, could be cash shop only. So you can still find horses as drops but if you want the convenience of a longer duration you can pay more for it.

    You can buy more then one at a time and they stack in inventory. Horses are not going to be changed.

    3.) A way to "note" items for purposes of selling. Runescape uses this so if you have 900000 iron for example, you simply note it and it has no use other than for trading. So in Eternal Lands, if you note an item, the only use for the item would be to trade or sell to the NPC until you un-note it (deposit into bank). I'm starting to craft in bulk, if I had for example, 1000 leather helmets. If I want to sell to NPC, I have to run 1 inventory at a time until sold.This is an example of how combat is way better than crafting for gold. Combat you just attack all day and get drops. Crafting, you do marathon runs to harvest, then another marathon to mix, then another marathon to sell 1 inventory at a time to NPC.

    Maybe you are doing it wrong.... think about it a little....is this the most effincent use of your time and resources?!?!?!

    4.) A repeatable quest (not daily) for gold only reward.

    Examples: 

    Kill 50 rabbits, rats, beavers, etc... for X gold.

    There is no lack of gc in game.. It is up to you to figure out how to bring value to the marketplace.

    Reasoning: When I started playing, it felt like the only way to earn gold was to sell drops to the NPC but the drops were also used for crafting. It felt bad because I also wanted to craft. If there was a repeatable quest, it would grant another way to earn gold as well as give direction. Don't know what to do next? Well, do more repeatables! Then you can use that gold on crafting or buying potions. 

     

     

    Keep learning about the game, plenty to do, plenty of grinding ahead of ya

    I was able to reproduce this, it looks to be only an issue on Ubuntu 18.04.  It is due to an uncaught X11 error on that platform so will not effect Windows or MacOS, and apparently any other Linux.  Anyhow, I've fixed it.  If you do "sudo snap refresh" you should get the update (your system may have already updated).  The client still shows 1.9.5p7 but the "snap list eternallands" should show 1.9.5p7-1.

    This seems to have resolved the crashing issue. No crashes since updated

     

     

    Thank you

    Sorry, just to clarify.  Do you still need to hold ctrl-U down while summoning for this to work?  Or does it work as intended, that after the summons, you can press ctrl_U and type to open the menu while the creature is in view?

     

    It works as intended for me after now. At first it did not work for tank rabbits, or rats, But I tried holding down cntr U while summoning a rat and after this it worked as intended to.

     

    The crash started happening when I installed snap P7  previous client was P2 installed from installer on website

    I'd never used a summoning stone but I had one on the test server.  Looks like you do not get a message from the server about the summons when you use one.  The client could detect the use of the stone (as for the counters), then use that in the same way it uses the normal summoning message.  I guess I'll need to buy some stones.  Are they all called "<creature> Summoning Stone"?

     

    Aisinn, to open the menu, the client has to send the actor ID of a creature to the server.  The action only appears to work on your summoned creatures and so, for the ctrl-U to work,  the client keeps a record of the last summoned creature.  It uses the sequence of seeing a summoned message, followed by a new actor with the correct name and guild.  When it sees that sequence within 1/4 second, it enables use of the ctrl-U key.  Pressing ctrl-U at any time after that will open the menu by sending the stored actor ID.  If the creature is removed from the server (it dies or you change map), the client forgets the id and will not open the menu with ctrl-U.  I think the behaviour you want would need a server code change.

     

    Wizzy, were you using a Summoning Stone before when ctrl-U was not working?  There is no reason to hold the ctrl-U down while you summon, all the detection code takes place independently of pressing the key sequence, holding the key down will have no impact on whether it works at all.

     

    I have not seen a crash on copy like that.  The code for that has not changed in a long while.  Do you have any other information?  Is it a large copy?  Has the client been running for a while, is there a lot of text? Anything would help with debugging.

     

     

     

    Hi, Cntrl U is working for me, I tried both stones and natural summons before and it did not work, but like I said above, since I did this by holding it down, it works every time now with natural summons.

     

    The copy crash happens even when the client is running a short time, and even just a single line of text.  It happens randomly, not every time I try to copy text. and as soon as I hit cntl C or the copy menu client crashes and closes.

     

    Output from terminal when crash

     

    X Error:  BadWindow
      Request Major code 25 ()
      ResourceID 0x4a00a63
      Error Serial #1037

    Ok Bickering Bettys! Enough bickering here xD

     

    Since the teams will run at different times, I don't want the later teams to have a clear advantage or disadvantage from going first/last.

     

    So Here is the outline of contest...

     

    Everyone to meet at ida store.. everyone get naked and and empty your inventory

     

    1) Ida Scavenger Hunt (Main map)

    2) Ida Mines Invasion and Mixing challenge

    3) Invasioner Storage Contest

    4) Bethel Fill the barrel challenge

    5) Sedi Ranger/Mage Monster kill challenge

    6) Melinis Hyperbag challenge

    7 Hurquin Neno and badaran challenge

    8) SRM Summoning and Potion challenge

    9) Mount Sorrow Seek and destory challenge

    10) SRM dragon challenge

     

    Each challenge will be scored by points (and some such as the scavenger hunt are timed) There will be points for partial completion, team with the most total points at the end will be named the winners.

     

    Team Bacon is running at 3PM EST Sunday Nov 3, and they will be the first to run the gauntlet.

    Ok Oct 31, all charaters are locked until it is your turn to run the course.

     

    I am hoping to do them all this weekend. I believe I have some time tomorrow evening. So 4-5PM EDT start

     

    Saturday 3-4PM EDT start

     

    Sunday 3-4PM EDT start

     

    No one will want to go first.. but there are certain parts that each team will have that is not exactly the same. So there should be no real advantage to being last/ or first.

     

    Please post below which time you would like to have your team online to run the contest. 

     

    If we have to go into the next week or weekend,that is ok too.

    Are you up for a challenge?????

     

    To participate you will need to start a new character from scratch and include your team name in the naming of the character. (Example  New_Wizard, or Sia_Fighter)

     

    You character can only trade with the members of your team. You are not allowed to trade with your alts, or main, you are not allowed to trade with bots,  (including bag trades) However, you can trade with NPCs  found in eternal lands. The player owned NPCs are also not allowed to be used. (I will ask Radu to monitor this.  (Mod team will be checking logs and cheating will result in punishment to your whole team, so don't cheat!!)

     

    Edit: PK killing another player for their drops will be considered bag trading for this event. So you cant just pk your buddies alt for his stuff..........oki

     

     

     

    Shop Sales are permitted only for the following items

    1) Vanity Clothing

    2) P2P races

    3) Rostogols, Bindings and Enriched Essences

    4) Horse Whistles

     

    This is a team event and the rules (are not so simple)

     

    You will have to form teams of 5 people. Each team requires to have 1 person with each title

     

    1) Fighter

    2) Mage

    3) Ranger

    4) Summoner

    5) Engineer

     

    It is also highly recommended that characters specialise in a skill as well, as there may be challenges of then just fighting such as

    1) Manufacturing

    2) Crafting

    3) Potioning

    4) etc

     

    Edit: Question from player "Can we pickup bags that spawn in maps,  such as Merc in NCA"      Yes you can.

            Question from player "Can we log in on each other characters"   Yes, you can use each other characters to prepare for event if you choose.

            Question from player " Can we use an existing guild we own for the event"     Yes you can

            Question from player " So for the halloween event, its allowed to help with your main for novac?"     Yes, you can ask a friend to help you with Novac,                                                   or use your main. 

           Question from player " Can we pick up death bags we find?" No, too easy to cheat, only your team mates death bags.

     

     

     

    RULE UPDATE!! An Outline of the event will be posted on Halloween Night! (October 31) 

    Participant characters will be locked just before this happens and will stay locked until it is time for your team to do the event.  This is to ensure Everyone is on the same footing and there will be no big advantage from going first or last in regards to your storage and preparation.

     

     

    You have until Halloween weekend to build your 5 person team, and your characters, and your storage's and we will have an invasion event where each team will have to complete a series of UNKNOWN challenges

     

    There will be prizes, glory and FAME for the wining team! 

     

    (If you would like to donate items and gc's to the prize pool, contact me in game)

     

    Please post below your team name and names of those on your team.  Thanks
