Could you change the location of autopull in score? Instead of having it in the upper portion, please put it in the lower section where autogold, autoloot, demonbank, etc... are.

already done.

Failed surge shouldn't cost you the full mana... should only be like 2/3 of the mana that the specific surge takes normaly.

disagree.

"AEton calls God's lightning to strike his foes!" this spell is so useful, i'm shocked we haven't replaced it with a new worship-related message

Spell being 'call lightning'. Level 2 fix. Interpret god names into line.

force reading help setmin or show a banner when reaching level 35 about setmin/out. often people ask about it, just think this would be nice

level 2. add a banner for level 35 telling them of their new fun setmin/out.

Dragons go through molting periods. Their Skin could be a container. while molting for about 5 tics whenver their dex is down since their skin is weak. Their shedding could be used as a container. Thought it would be neat. Thanks. :)

an x-ray vision type spell. when used on a container, it shows what types of items are inside. when used on doors, it shows whether or not the lock can be picked, if there's movement behind it (wandering mobs) or stationary objects behind it (sentinel mobs). when used on mobs, it might show any weak areas a mob has (which could be aimed for with vital shot, etc)

no thanks.

give a message to all in the room if a target receiving comfort is healed fully.. Soandso is fully healed by Tul-Sith! or something.. might save multiple clerics over-comf'ing the same target

Change death shroud to self-only. Sorcerors would not be willing to assist others in the reduction of exp loss. They would more likely be willing to increase other's exp loss and even further reduce their own.

Fine. Level 2 change. Level 3: Death Contract - A contract can be made with a minion so that in exchange for some added power (+damroll calculated dependent upon caster and victim level), the minion's potential death will produce untold benefits to the Sorcerer. (The Sorcerer will gain a random thing for the death of a groupmate. Dependent upon the victim's level as well as luck.) Requires groupmates be within the room at the time of the death and still grouped. Legend level until it can be evaluated for abuse.

public scrying pools. players can use them to scry without casting and with less lag. a few "underpowered" pools could be scattered among the major cities (up in the mage tower, etc) which could only scry into that area. then there could be one or two "full power" scrying pools that are hidden in remote or hard-to-get locations

no

all groupies except the tank should be able to stop fighting anytime during combat. Also, if someone is doing something ie. fletching/sharpening they stop automatically getting hits while they are in lag for that, or make them have to reinitiate fighting

this is complicated and as you can tell...a mess. I'm going to hold off on this one.

just a thought what about a new stat that affects magic, spell accuracy etc? Much like Dex affects warr ability to bash and samsh

I agree. I'll keep it in mind for future developments. I believe it is assumed to exist but it could be given a value.
Orinoco

Perhaps make it so that you arent able to harness the chaos of battle when you dont have any mana, seems a bit odd being able to cast a spell using chaos channel when there is no mana to successfully cast the spell.

Level 3. Have casting cost calculated prior to the message for chaos channel. The message output will be determined by whether there's enough mana.

FIRELEASH, mage spell cast on self, while active, mobs fighting the mage or it's group get "leashed" and if they flee, the mob can be damaged by fire. Probably same duration as Sanc, the leash automaticly "catch" one mob at time.

Change the gear zap message to bright yellow or maybe bright white please. It will make it easier to pick it out of the rest of the spam on some lord runs.

Monk Mods for gloves, similar to how archers get mods for them. Since most of a monk's attacks are done using the hands, the gloves would definately have some effect (affect?) on things.

they would. I'm going to wait however.

each god should provide a skill that could be practiced.. would add nifty pantheon depth, possible a god-based CD for each class, then there would be more worship diversity...

maybe. that's a lot of spells and skills, you realize. We'll start small and have prayer result in different things as well as sacrifice and move up from there.

i think charge shield should have some chance of going off when u bash a mob, i mean you are hitting the mob with your shield.

already discussed.
Neyne

2004-01-06 01:24:14
if a mob has some sort of extra weak spot, add a secret vital shot keyword to it. aiming for that location gives the "very weak area" hit, but most type of mobs has their own unique extra keyword (for example: wrist, spine, wings, eyestalk, tail, or some other irregular anatomy)

that would require lots of code. no for now.

change flee xp to be more in line with what the mob is worth..pretty sad when you can lose almost double what the mob is worth

the experience loss is due to YOU, not the mobile. The experience should be more if you flee from someone weaker, eh? That's the only way I'd go and it contradicts your request.

have water rooms give a penalty to melee fighters, since it's harder to swing a sword or fire an arrow through water. this could also be used to make a room or area require more caster force.. maybe for future areas?

Level 4. Terrain bonuses and penalties to to_hit and to damage in regards to different fighting styles including casting.

apparently if you cast a spell between 22:56:17 and 22:57:17 system time, they are 24 tics long instead of 72. not sure what happens to heroes or immortals, but this has occurred several times to lords.
