Why is it, no matter how good the camera, the skill of the cameraman or the amount of pixels per square whatever, no picture truly captures how bloody fantastic a sunset over the sea really is? Shame really...awe inspiring sight. Done pretty good on those though, nice shots. I still wouldnt have believed you about the concrete ship though if you hadn't linked it up...thought you was pulling a fast one.

we cant have rock throwing ingame I'm afraid, too many players living in glass houses.

Nope, i remember his ability to pop up out of no where, all too well.

They didnt last for 13 minutes and 13 seconds, presumably? On a serious note... I would love to see an intro video/tutorial appear between char creation and actual gameplay occuring, if that were possible, just to show basic icon usages, and where to find the encyclopedia. That way the "I dont read" crowd can just watch a TV show on how to play. And where to look for if/when they DO want to find something out.

Kusamara Jungle, tiger lilly. Coordination removal.

There's an Alchemic I know, changed his name to DuBro, Thought he'd buy himself a stairway to heaven. He would say"step this way", but it led into PK, That's how he paid for his stairway to heaven. Yes he tried to pay for his stairway to heaven. Ohhhh and he makes you wonder.... But it made DuBro think twice when Radu said no dice. You're not buying your stairway to heaven In one mighty shout Teh God gave his name out, And wasted his stairway to heaven. Ohhhh and it makes us wonder... Yeah...and it makes us wonder.... So now our friend DuBro sit on channel six with the pr0's Wishing he could buy back his stairway to heaven Let it be a lesson to you all, how the mighty can fall, Even when you think you're on the stairway to heaven. Just when you think you're on the stairway to heaven...

Holy testicle tuesday! and i thought i was old for EL player standards these days

VERY! Now try running 3k s2e to hydro and telling ME how monumentally mental I am. EdIT: It's an irony that I here quote a comment by someone named "forever". Back on topic, no way will hydro bars be put in as a chance to be mixed from other recipes ingame, even setting aside the effects it would have on the market and the whole "bomb a hydro miner" crew etc, there is the very big impact it would make to nexus buying that will stop this one from even being considered. Seridium, dvarium and wolfram bars are another matter though, wouldnt mind hearing they had some "other" means to come into the game.

Ye-es...planning something by any chance??

In actual fact, just a moon med can be used, although its real basis for being worn was originally to lower the effects of cavern wall damage (since an armour rating item that is equipped does just that), not increase chance to find stone, so that's that one cleared up. Some people actually use augs to not only lower cavern wall damage (armour rating) but also radon damage too. I havent heard this one BUT if I had to hazard a guess as to which exact cave this, I'd lay good gc on it being in portland titanium mines. It might be, but it is also very true. However, you will have to find it out for yourself.

Loved it. Personally solo'd some giants in kf despite strong opposition, and earned my first ever solo giant kills. great fun and gratz to blaze1, who SHOULD have had me on his kills as well, but was robbed by a thieving bunch of giants. would love to see more like this - PYE

Marketing: Into the wild strode the warrior bold, Sword in hand, as the bards' foretold, But they neglected to sing Of his tiny dingaling Or the fact he was suffering from a cold. Business: Into the wild strode the warrior bold, Sword in hand, as the bards' foretold, Til he found, lucky him, Rent-a-sword Jim, And loaned his serp out for a mere 10 gold. Tactics: Into the wild strode the warrior new, All in leather, with his fearless retinue, Whence upon a dragon they came, He drank speed hax, which seemed lame, Til he told his servants: "I just have to outrun YOU" Surprise: Into the wild strode the warrior grim, His armour shining, his vorpal blade slim, Silent he tred, Then was suddenly dead, As the trolls sniggered and said "saw him coming a bloody mile off" EDIT: OLDSKOOL: Into Grahms Village strode a mighty mage, His robes adorned with hemlock and sage, Around the carts he did look, But was so out of luck, Coz Raven had moved (by heck he's showing his age!).

Good question, and it's a totally blind guess here, but I predict the actual answer you get will be along the lines of: "for the same reason we don't have a ring of Nordarn" I could be wrong but I'd be willing to bet 5 fire essences on it. Wouldn't mind seeing it though..would you think it would be higher level than the current c2 rings in terms of crafting? Or would it fit in between somewhere with the existing rings, in terms of levels and ingredients? Edit: And to slightly skew the topic a bit here: How about bringing in teleportal rings that take you directly to a specific PK map/area/arena that isnt currently available ingame (but is a popular place for those who risk going to a PK map)? Although I'd personally like these balanced out with a negative side, maybe a 25% chance to lose 30 mana when you "use" it or something similar. Actually, make it -50 mana, since you'd be saving some mana/SR from teleportling into the map anyway by using a ring instead...so it'd be the -20mana fine to cover the teleport spell cost(that you would have used instead) + another -30 more to cover the negative side of using it to get directly to the right spot to PVP/PK.

It dosnt matter how many who make FE - its still the same chance of making an EFE. To prevent an abundance of a certain item radu changes the chance of an item being made if there already are too many in the game. The best way to increase the rate of making an EFE from an FE is to use up all EFE in the game then radu will make the chance to make an EFE higher. Its well known that sometimes the rate of getting a EFE has been 0. Ob Urban legend - TD and Hulda sto. I was anticipating you bringing this up...so..to my knowledge Radu has only ever been known to answer the question "what is my chances of mixing an EFE" with answers that are along the lines of "the chances of mixing an EFE are X in XXXXX"...that LOOKS like he's not saying each player has that chance, he's saying X in XXXXX amount of fe mixed ingame has that chance. No? Yes, each player IS a part of that equation but it isnt based soley ON each player, if you see what i mean? We still have a chance of mixing an EFE but it is a completely different view of what we THINK radu means when he gives out the percentage info's...he might not be quoting figures that are unique to a single players perspective, rather to the perspective of the chances to produce odds based on server wide calculations. WE ALL just prefer to bring it down to our own perspective and prospects of getting lucky because we're biased to our own chances. AND NOW, for the topic: If all the players on Seridia hit their Jump emote at the same time simultaneously, it triggers harvest cave-ins on the players in Irillion. Strange but true.

trade ban for SirJuan on passion bot

*edit: nvm, got wrong info, plz delete this post.

Glad you added that at the end, you wouldn't want your post deleting for being here instead of market section, would you? ON TOPIC: Titanium Axes can break BroD weapons in one hit. This is actually true...?

Did you cause this too guin? i am sure i recognise the handywork behind teh scenes at play in this incident..... Wid da ill behayviah Oh I also recognise you in alt form here on forums..you're Guest_mmo-player_* arent you? You're like the ebul rude Moriarity of EL.

Then let my post stand for the play-at-work stone-hunting harvesters then. Still plenty of those in EL

Do me a lemon, I'd sooner believe a growling rottweiler was just going to lick my hand than believe dear alchemidubro was really really sorry he was so successful at what he did. Seriously though, I have not got a problem with what he does to earn his gc. I dont personally like it but I learned a long time ago that I shouldnt judge how someone plays el and chooses to use the pk areas. I dont think he should get away with his choice of gameplay though, without some attempt to crimp his easy lifestyle, so am more than happy to support friends and allied bot owners on my trade network if they wish to ban him from trading. That's why his new name is banned as well. As for EP there, sorry mate but having ones new name announced if the intent was clearly to hide from ones own past misdeeds is bang out of order. It's exploiting the system by using $, and theres enough ways to do that without hiding behind a new name. Besides, technically he didnt waste his money, he still has the name he paid for, no? I dont think anything in the shop info mentions anonymity being a condition of sale, does it? That's just a curtesy of Radu that may or may not be adhered to as he sees fit. Alchemic, you profess to have teh balls lad, stand up and be proud of your ways, dont hide behind new names, that's too close to feeling guilty about it all, which we all KNOW aint the case. Your game morals just arent built that way, I should know, I am the exact opposite end of the game-spectrum to you. El needs its bad guys, if you wish to be one then sod everyone including me who wants to pk you for it. I dont respect, admire or even like your way of playing but I would fight to defend your right to play it as you wish, providing it doesnt break game rules. But don't expect me to believe this "turning over a new leaf" malarky, it just doesn't wash when you've got a storage full of ill gotten gains, lad. Having said all this, trade networks and diplomacy come first, and it is there that my support will continue, so the trade ban stands. However, I do not condone or support any action that is downright harrassment in nature, even if I am sometimes amused by it occuring.

A little tip in regards increasing your personal chances of finding a stone when harvesting, since this thread seems the logical place in this section of the skills forum to post this: If you want to increase your chances per harvesting trip of triggering a find-stone event, simply remove your excavator cloak and do it the slow way. 2 people with 300 emu each harvesting a 1 emu ores, if one wore exc cape they'd have 150 chances per trip, the other would have 300 chances to trigger the happy event per trip. NOTE: There is ALSO greater chances of triggering the not so nice events too..cavern walls, beestings, MN etc etc. You have been warned. If you got the perk instead of the cloak, however, then tough luck, sorry, you will just have to "get lucky" the usual way.

What about an alternative to the excavator cloak? one that instead of doubling the amount harvested, doubles the speed of harvesting instead? Obviously, it would have to BE instead, not as well as. Mini events etc still affect the wearer so the abuse factor by afk harvesting isnt an issue, even less so since they'd spend less time afk if they filled quicker. Make it a high level tailoring item only, and give career harvesters something for a change. EDIT: Just realised, taking the excavator perk would HAVE to prevent this cloak from being equipped. Edit 2: Perhaps a small chance to break this cape whilst harvesting/mining, as per Harvester medallion, would be in order, to prevent too many being created and a price drop occuring at some future point. If necessary, you could even split the cloak into different types again, and have specialised versions that work only on ores, others for plant harvesting, and a third cloak type for mineral extraction. Third and final edit: No doubt, it will occur to some of you that there doesnt seem to directly be a benefit to someone wearing this cloak instead of the normal exc version, since a double speed would seem to equal a double items harvested cloak. Wrong, for those who prefer more chances per harvesting trip to trigger a possible removal stone event, this cloak is clearly the one they would choose instead of the normal exc cloak. Those who are not bothered about finding a stone and just want to get their stuff asap, can have the normal cheap exc cloaks now ingame. Is that all the bases covered?

trade banned on passion also. other bot owners will no doubt follow before long

At first glance I love this idea, seriously think it's great. However, from a different point of view, I'd have to ask, what effect would this have on seeing people walking around with the normal versions ingame? Would they eventually stop wearing all the normal cloaks, once sufficient combo-capes were around? How would this affect the build up of cloaks in storages? Yes I know some normal capes would end up as being ingredients, but would it be enough to counter the normal influx into the game? or would an actual build up occur eventually, somewhere down the line? I think in order to prevent such a thing happening, there would have to be specific cloaks that could NOT be combined with others, just to ensure there isnt a potential mass buildup later. That taken into account, I still love the idea.

which would also confirm the idea that only a single test is made vs a single outcome occuring, regardless of the number of people doing that same thing simultaneously, then. if it was per person, it would not be the same chance per person, as the formula for calculation of the test would have to take into account the volume of people doing that task in order to prevent an increase on the probability of a positive outcome, and vice versa for smaller volumes of people decreasing said probability overall. it stands to reason that 200 people all mixing fe's would bring a much greater volume of efe into the game if checks per person were applied, than if a single check was done on any given second to see if one out of 200 people was "lucky". Since the efe rate we actually KNOW ingame is omgzorz-rare, it is more likely to be the single test method than the per person method, no? infinite monkeys need not apply.
