Title: small quality of life changes request
Post by: Akhulas on July 22, 2024, 09:37:24 am
1. show experience penalty in help race and help class (now you can see experience penalty only while creating char, if type "help" command)
2. turn on autosplit, trust group on by default
3. scroll set default to 40? or even 0 (current default 24 - too low to modern displays)
4. full heal hp/mana/moves on level up. speed up newbie ranking a bit
5. sleeping pets hp regen boosted already. how about boost they moves regen also? for mounts.
6. add different messages for detect magic and detect invis (now for both its shows "your eyes tingle")

add an exotic weapon or staff to glade of beginnings with obj_prog that can be used as a damaging skill.
You wield a large hip bone of a brown bear.
You feel like you could 'smash' with it.

Just gives an additional attack per round for levelling for lowbies. Can smash only if below 15 lvl. After that it crumbles, since smash was too hard.

if possible please add message to room when affect ended so it easier to keep buffs on teammates and track debuffs on mobs:
Haste
Soften
Slow
Shrink
Enlarge
Bless
Frenzy
Fly
Resists acid/fire etc
Eyejab
Blindness
Blind by smoke from flaming weapon
Bleed
Boneshater
Cross slice (add message that bleeding was applied as well)

^ perhaps only for the group? It may give away too much info in PVP


Title: Re: small quality of life changes request
Post by: Raider on July 30, 2024, 01:22:54 pm
It should be consistent.

If everyone can see that the target was hasted, then everyone should see that haste ended.

Why do you think it will be too much info for pvp?

We can see when dirt kick affect ends now. Why blindness or eyejab is bad?

Allow autosac in all forms - just a QoL change


Title: Re: small quality of life changes request
Post by: Raider on August 13, 2024, 01:06:03 pm
Idea - make detect magic show some aura if person or mob has spellbook/manual on him.
It will remove the need to spam #loop 5 {glance %0.}

I feel like books are harder to find than before


Title: Re: small quality of life changes request
Post by: disaster on August 13, 2024, 10:33:18 pm
maybe some other names for mercs?
for example, knight would buy draconian merc and draconians are evil by default, or to me more complex thing is when he wants to level in draconians then it is easy to make mistake and attack minion instead of draconian
or someone neutral  with elf mercenar goes to elves and bears and attacks charmie instead of elf in bear forest

for example, hired swordsman, manatarms, archer, blademaster, gunslinger or by ranks elite mercenary, veteran mercenary, aged mercenary, rookie mercenary,
or enlistee, private, lieutenant mercenary, captain mercenary

there are often books to find but, as usual, for different class :)
as usual, you find them when you are not looking for them :)

This is very true

To my knowledge only tiger and lion can sacrifice items.
Not autosacing corpses is somewhat irritating and require annoying triggers for groupmates.

So would be nice to allow all forms to sacrifice. (transmutters, druids, beast assn rage, strange girdle).
Maybe pets as well?

Pleeeeeese, let all forms sacrifice corpses. Some forms can and some not. This fact has no background reaons at all.
