I like your option 4 as well bluap. It would leave the default behavior for everyone while providing an alternative to solve the problem I mentioned.

Since the most recent crit damage / break formula update on December 8, I've trained a total of 72 mchim. The market price for HE/SR usage was 2294gc. Total drop value from the mchim was 4484gc. I degraded my bronze greave today on my 3rd mchim. I replaced them for 35000gc. I'll need to train a little over 1k mchim w/o any breaks now just to break even. This isn't a whine post either, rather an observation. I'm a mixer as well so it's not a bfd to me, just slightly annoying.

Yes, real horse whistles. radu handed them out on test yesterday and I think some also had them in storage.

I'm not sure if this is related, but I've never seen an error message like this with either test client prior to our testing. I see this message in my console when exiting EL (I snipped out a number of resync messages before this error and the lengthy memory map after it:)

Here are two issues we found. I don't know what caused the first one, the standing ranger pose issue, but once my character started doing it no amount of map changing, toggling off and on the horse, etc. would correct it. The second issue seems to happen if you are attacked in melee while ranging, e.g. if you are ranging a mob and it comes up and attacks you while you are in the ranging animation. As far as why all players don't see the problem, that is very confusing but greypal may have some more input on the issue. When I aim, my character goes into the standing ranger pose as opposed to the seated pose, but only for me - other players saw the correct animation for my character. Also as you know, we ran into the issue where the character detaches from the horse, but it is strange in that not everyone sees the problem. In this screen, greypal, tropatropa and myself see tropa detached, greypal and tropa see me detached and everything looks fine for anamir and finja.

The door to exit the tavern in Emerald Valley is not visible from the inside of the tavern, I have to pan the camera around and click the door on the outside of the wall to exit. I verified that this is not the case with the 1.9.0 client. I wasn't aware that stuff like this needed to be tested, should we be exhaustively testing doors etc. again on each map?

I have not yet read the hydrogenium molding book yet I am able to mold hydro bars into crowns. Edit: Also noticed I haven't read wolfram molding yet either and wolf bars are also an ingredient in mixing crowns.

They're in the armor section in storage where meds are in magic. Either way, they are items that require 1 hydro bar & 1 wolfram bar each to mix.

The book descriptions: Hydrogenium Molding allows you to melt Metastable Metallic Hydrogen and convert it to various objects, such as weapons & armors Wolfram Molding allows you to melt the Wolfram and convert it to various objects, such as weapons and armors My knowledge (the output of #know molding:) The day: The mix: Crowns are armor so I think the crown books should not be readable until hydro & wolf molding are read (or some other way of including them in the requirements to make crowns.)

You need smelting books to make bars and molding books to mold the bars into items.

I don't understand how weapon breakage compares to what radu has explained for armors, but it seems like some weapons are breaking often based on my limited knowledge of breakages.

Can you be more specific? What do you mean it's not being displayed properly. If your character looks strange, it might be the animation program (Ctrl+O>Adv Video.) If the ground, trees, etc. look strange, it might be shadows (Ctrl+O>Details) or shadow mapping (Ctrl+O>Adv Video.) If you mean simply that the resolution or size of the window is incorrect, then close EL & edit the contents of your \my documents\eternal lands\main\el.ini file to change the video mode & restart EL (changing resolution or toggling between full-screen & window mode from the options dialog within the client often crashes the client in Windows.)

No, I mixed them November 21. There wasn't a Scientists day at all during the month of November according to el-cel. I'll also have ings for a few more here shortly & will mix them as well.

A little over 1k mcw since November 27 and I just now broke 1 Staff of Protection. I didn't train all of them with sop either; I alternate between tit long & short & sop depending on astro.

The only time I've noticed this is when I'm training a/d and harvesting between respawns and I leave a bag of a few of some flower at the harv location so I can click it and often walk right back to that spot. Each time I walk back to that bag I drop another 1 or more flowers in to keep it alive and maybe 2 out of 100 times the contents of the bag are emptied into my inventory simply by clicking on it and walking to it. I sometimes use home to flee while training but I'm not using home to walk onto the bag. I do click getall to get the contents of whatever the mob dropped each time prior to walking back to the harv bag. I do experience regular lag on my connection. Honestly it's not a huge deal, especially if no one else has a problem with it and it's a potentially complicated timing issue.

I looked around a bit and couldn't find it so maybe it was a channel 6 conversation, but I believe radu at one point had tentative plans to make some interesting variances between the dragon armors similar to the radiation malus ice dragon armor has. I only mention it because one of your poll options sounds exactly like this.

Um... guys, before you go too far...

I played on test for about 1 hour rather than breaking gear on main. I'm assuming based on the test server uptime that it's running the same code base. In any event, 18 fchim at 120 def with 48 phys & 20 vit, 1 aug pants broken. I have 10k fchim on my counters on main and not a single piece of broken armor or a medallion. Honestly neither of these is a perfect scenario, but something appears to have changed. Edit: There is a difference in the uptimes between test & main. Either way, I'm happy to do more testing if/when it's warranted.

Click the New Player button instead of Log In on the welcome screen to create a new character, otherwise it's true, you don't exist.

As Korrode said, you don't have to compile from source itzman, you can add bluap's repository to your apt sources and download & install EL the debian way.

You are correct.

This in general is really a pretty nice thing: small groups of people doing things for the community as a whole, even if it doesn't work out perfectly for everyone. Let's not turn it into another reason to flame, outlaw and resent each other - I think we already have enough.

There is a script that radu runs at his discretion to delete unused characters that fall within some set of criteria that can be described as "unplayed" and "unleveled."
