    I agree the price should be fairly low and for that to happen the price of furs has to fall so it would require plenty of furs, maybe its possible to have him haxed and increase the furs another way like make lenny run all day, or easier to kill or drop more furs (sometimes), in time the prices would stablize im sure , anyway thats not the issue here lets get the hax back 1st, in time the potters will establish a fair price.

    As many of you are aware i am the only person in game that is still able to run using the Speed Hax(at least as far as im aware). The hax was disabled a few months ago because of its LACK of use however i am amazed at the attention i have recieved in game by still having this ability, i have recieved many pm's asking how speed hax works and where they can buy the potions only for me to disapoint them by telling them they can't because it is now disabled. Many of these people did not even know Speed Hax ever even existed and most of these people where not newbies. Taking this into consideration i believe Speed Hax was not given enough time to take off before it was disabled so i am now campaigning to bring it back.

     

    I must make it clear that should it be allowed back it is very unlikely entropy will adjust the food usage or the recipe for making it, to those that are against the food consumption etc i would ask you to consider this: you have the choice to NOT use it. so please lets not whine about that here. This poll is simply about if it should be brought back so that those who want to use it can do so.

     

    Benifits of Hax

    Hax can improve your game and be an advantage to you and can be alot of fun too.

    You can get around much faster allowing you to complete your objectives much quicker which in my opinion pays back for the food consumption.

    With high EMU and use of the tele room spells you can be a awsome mule for guild events.

    It is also excellent to use for death bag recovery, i have returned quiet a few death bags in the last few months as i can be there very fast indeed.

    It also has great possibilties to organise new contest like races and maybe some sort of marathon, should it be brought back i plan to host some myself.

    Are you a bot owner and find your time is taken up by having to walk back and forth from storage to your bot? then hax could be what you are looking for !

    If you are a pr0 joker hunter imagine the possibilities while Haxed.

    Its great for doing hydro runs too making it much faster and does make it harder for "some" pkers to catch you.

    You can play your game the same as before, it is NOT true that while using the hax you can not mix ect, you should be aware that while you are stood/sat still the hax has no effect on food consumption, you just need to be sure not to let your food value go to minus 30.

    Im sure i could think of many other uses but i will leave it at that as this thread will get too big to read :icon4:

     

    Food Consumption

    The food consumption was considered the main problem by alot of people, i have to admit it was a problem to me too the first few weeks i used it as the slightest lack of attention could be very costly, i had to use 3 potions on my 1st day, before long i could manage a week, now months if not forever (10 pots in total). Regardless that it is only clicking i see it as a skill that developes over time, it became second nature and i no longer have to think about it hardly consentrating on the food at all.

     

    I find the best way is to use toadstools though i do not have the ability to use bones so therefore i can not compare. to get the stools i simply harvest mass amounts when im too busy doing something in real life to allow me to play el properly, like if im watching a movie or busy working in photoshop or even surfing the forums, sometimes i buy them too. antidote potions are not that big of a problem as the amount of times you are poisoned usually isnt that often and when it is if you know how to handle it you can run long distances only requiring 1 antidote potion... i have run to the hydrogenium mines 100's of times and only ever taken 1 potion which gets used at the mine and never died due to the poison infact i even made it there a few times without being poisoned at all, this is a good demonstration of just how far you can run.

     

    Feasting potions can be used though in my opinion this works out to be more expensive and if you are carrying a full load i found the odd toadstool is required.

     

    also remember that the food consumption is based on a percentage of the total weight in your inventory, i find if on running from votd storage to norcarn storage with nothing much in my inventory i can do it with alot less shrooms and less posion to deal with.

     

    Economy and game play

    Speed Hax can effect the economy in a bigger way than most people notice, it will make more sales in shrooms, antidote, bones, pof, sr, he, ingredience for these sort of items too. Also adds more fun for the lenny hunt. In conjunction with the tele room spells its possible harvesters can be more efficient

     

    Most importantly though is is the hax's ability to make the game more fun and exciting, since i learnt to control the hax my game play has been much more fun, exciting and more profitable than before and would like other people to be able to have that opertunity. When i 1st started playing el about 4 years ago one of the 1st things i was disapointed about is how slow the game was without the ability to run, i have seen it suggested many times from other people and im sure most of you thought the same. With this in mind i think at least hax is better than nothing right? at least those that want to give it a go can do right? I sincerely believe hax is one of the best updates el has ever had to improve gameplay if only enough people would give it a chance.

     

    Sorry for the huge post but this is my only shot at getting the hax back and i feel strongly about it and i had to get across things you may not have considered :P

     

    P.S if you feel strongly about it too why not help me in my campaign by spamming the url in your guild channel a few times for me so that i can get as many people to vote as possible :D

    @robotbob .. i had the idea a few mins before i went to work so was in a rush, search did my head in with

     

    One or all of your search keywords were below 3 characters or you searched for words which are not allowed, such as 'html', 'img', etc, please go back and increase the length of these search keywords or choose different keywords.

    and

    Sorry, the board administrator has enabled search flood control. Please wait at least 20 seconds before trying again.

     

    and if i had found them its unlikely i would have read all that just to find the idea's where similar and if i did i would have then had to kidnap someone elses thread causeing people to read more than they have to , and besides the possibilties and attitudes of the game change over time as the game and games possibilities change... its always worth mentioning some ideas even if similar was mentioned in the past :o (example) how many times where people shot down for having ideas to make running available in game only to be answered ..search is your friend and besides its impossible.... yet it happened and became possible :) (then didnt lol) on my 1st day off work i will take the time to read the other suggestions maybe there is ideas there that could be added to this to make it even better.

     

    i also agree now that the exp would not matter.. like i said i was in a rush and hadnt thought it through completely .. sowwy :)

    Just an idea but one thing that puts me off pk is the fact i always get gang banged lol, would it not be possible to make some kind of arena where it is no drop and impossible to escape once the fight has started, ofc no exp could be gained in the arean so it wouldnt become a haven for pvp. and it could be even better if there was some npc that you could maybe type the name of the 2 people intending to fight (for maybe a small fee) this way people could agree to fight to the death with the person chosen.

     

    i also think it could help encourage non pkers to give it a try and develope pk skills they otherwise wouldnt have because in my experience they get pissed off with pk before they have a chance to develope any skill, in time once they have the skill maybe they would venture into normal pk more often.

     

    i think this could also be cool in the sence that it could attract an audience for big fights. and would suggest NC arena would be a great place for it

     

    if its a dumb idea i apologise in advance im a mixer and harvester not a pker, though do find pk interesting.

     

    edit: the npc could maybe even charge a higher price and half the gc goes to the winner the other half leaves the game

    i doubt this would be done, and non bought chars should be allowed access to c2 if they did do it, but i certainly understand your frustrations, need to play hard 12 hours a day to even have a chance to catch up and for most of us thats impossible.

    Why was speed hax removed ? i did a search and the only thing i could find was a post saying entropy says not enough people use them, is this correct? i really liked speed hax and have used it from day one, infact im still running (is that allowed untill i lose it?) i know a few others who ran too and im sure in time a few others would, speed hax was also starting to make imbroglio more popular for PKing too because they where there for runners like me they would also drop on the walkers and cost them rostogols and more. Does it really hurt the game if only a few people run ? aint that the whiners problem for not using speed hax themselves?

     

    Maybe there is more to the reason why they where removed but if it really was because not many used them i think it should have been given more time, Speed Hax was one of the best updates ever, ever since i started playing EL i always wanted to run im sure more would have in time.

     

    Also if Speed hax is never going to be brought back what do i do with the 59 i have in storage?

     

    P.S. plz bring back Speed Hax :w00t:

    For starters make sure that the people donating always get some credit otherwise they will stop donating ... in the past i donated expensive items like rosto's and never even got a mention while that host got massive thx and became famous for it ROFL..

     

    stop favouritism, example someone well know like magpie lee wins a contest his name is up there in blue, if a nub like me wins they just say grats to the winners :) (this happened alot in the past, i rarely enter anything now)

     

    How about the host of the event donate themselves huh? or at least themselves and thier guild? seems wrong to me ask for donations from the public.. i meen if u want to host an event surely you should .... get it?

     

    Why do most mods that host events always come from the same few guilds? seems to me its become a case of who you know and not what you can do for the comunity. So make more mods out of the nicer people of el and maybe you will get more events :)

     

    i will not accuse anyone of cheating but many of my members in the past got rather pissed that one certain dude always won, even in random events like annatira's events, as a result they screem its FIXED and swear to never enter again.

     

    just my honest opinion i hope i dont piss mods off :)
