I personally prefer my suggestion to be based upon player stats, because all players will have different base stats. If you base it upon sv's then that's sort of pointless because then everyone starts off the same. The key is to allow the players to have their stats tailored somewhat in order to pro...

Rivi

Silsateur Your recommendation is different from my idea in that I'm presenting it as a positive change, where as you're presenting it as a way to downgrade a class. In addition, whereas your suggestion was to downgrade a class, my suggestion was to vary a class. To give players a choice in how to ma...

I've thought of a lot of things to say to morithiel, but I think this sums it up the most. Don't take what I'm posting as finalized ideas, what you need to do is to take my ideas and see what venues they can open up and how they can change gameplay. Consider the various possibilities such an impleme...

Rivi

And that exactly is the crux of the idea http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/wink.gif The idea is to allow for MORE equipment variety. Right now, an eq with +stat is such a joke. The only important stats are +hp, +mana(to limited extent) and _maybe_ +int/+wis. With other stats so firmly intertwined between ...

Rivi

One of the major unbalancing factors right now is how much magical damage can do. Now a lot of people have thought of various ways to limit this however. Usually this involves a downgrade for this class or that class. I'd like to propose something different. If you take a look at melee classes, all ...

The problem was having soul bind hit on the final round of combat which didn't let the spell "stick" onto the mob/corpse.

Rivi

I never said that doubled should be the final solution, doubled was just an easier example. If you take a look at the ring situation on the mud right now, the giantkind ring(?) seems to be highly sought after by certain classes just because it has an ac bonus to it, even though it has fewer hp bonus...

Rivi

Root of the problem is equipment variety. Right now you're still thinking of it in terms of low numbers. Another example to the change of thought possible. Suppose 1000/1000 was the max possible hit/dam a character could have. Suppose you have a weapon that is +500/+500. Do you think someone would r...

Rivi

Evil group composition doesn't require Dires to tank. If it ever comes down to that, it's time for the group to bail. Hence Dires are needed there for "melee" damage. Can they do anything else? Yes, do they need to? No.

Rivi

After looking through the abilities of mobs and what counters are available spell wise, it appears there isn't any counter for procs at all. Would be nice if doppleganger, or some kind of clone spell gave players this kind of benefit. Coding nightmare, sure, but players have been living the nightmar...

Why isn't the number of chances linked to Level, both skill and/or character level?

Rivi

Well, if you don't want to reflag everything, just "crank the melee adjustment knob" (something some imm said they had a long while back, few days back? who knows :P) down way low, and drop in some new zones with the equipment stated way up. Piss a lot of people off who think they now have the "uber...

What ever happened to discussions about remort for other classes? I can't seem to find an "end" thread anywhere.

Rivi

Having played to 50 a couple of times. I can tell you that around 41-46 you've just about maxed out the potential for the class. It's not always a new zone that keeps me interested in the game. Largely it's the different character class/race combo that keeps me interested. Each combination plays som...

Rivi

YES finally someone understood my muddled english, thanks chandigar!

Rivi

Bah, you guys are still totally thinking of this in the wrong way. What I'm saying is to scale the current 50/50 hit/dam on a PC to 100/100.

Rivi

The theory of conservation of power does not apply to mud abilities. What goes down doesn't necessarily have an up to it, and vice versa. That being said, I'd have to agree with todrael that having your pets heal a PC isn't all that special. If your pets have the time to heal you, then you are most ...

Rivi

I guess I wasn't clear in my post. I'm not saying to upgrade warrior equipment. What I'm saying is to keep the effectiveness of the hitter equipment, however to increase the range of the equipment. That is to have it so that a current 5/5 is equivalent to a 10/10 under the new scheme, however becaus...

Rivi

Why was it decided to limit the amount of bonuses that could be found on items implemented that low? For instance the max hit/dam roll on a weapon is like 2/2 for a one hander, or something along those lines. However the way I see this is that it's limiting the equipment variety. How many ways can y...

Rivi

How about an anon feature that is visible within a certain range level. +/- 5 levels?

Rivi

I'd like to propose a few changes to the spell. I'd like to have this spell changed so that this spell CAN work on preserved corpses. However in order to reduce/eliminate the twink ability of this feature, make it so that the corpses timer is reset to 2 hrs. or less. This makes it so that even if th...

Rivi

I don't see how that differs all that much than what is implemented here. If it does a set amount it still favors the mob a lot since they have way more hps than any cold/fireshielded pc could ever get. Thus overall they'll take less damage while the pc overall will take more damage.

Rivi

All your swords in one scabbard for rp huh? :P

Rivi

They already have scabbards, so why would you need sheaths? they do the same thing don't they? It's just that most people would prefer not to "waste" a slot for an item like this. I believe the item is also a container so if you want to "rp" it then you can remove the sheath and put it in there.

Rivi

That would be humans have longer mem time

Hm that is interesting, how long is a yuanti tail. How many tail plates can fit on that tail ^_^

Rivi

I think getting the lowest hp when leveling is the same for all classes/races under certain conditions. I'm not sure what conditions are but generally if you get to level 10 in 1 hour's play time you'll have gotten the minimum for your race/class combination. I remember having some power leveling eq...

Yayaril my plea is that the ogres should have one distinct advantage in some kind of race/class combination that makes them more desirable than any other. Also if you're going to post with that kind of attitude please don't. At least look at the arguments presented and comment about those. You act l...

might be fun to see a yuanti with no hands!
how would you wear eq on the other slots then??

Rivi

I remember reading somewhere that Yuan-ti are abominations of snake and humanoids but that the malformities aren't consistent. Could this somehow be reflected in the character's choice for races? Or how about one or more random equipment slot being available when the yuanti is created that reflects ...

Rivi

Glarec you want to elaborate on why you think they have more tricks in the bag that are necessary in a zone? I don't even think the embodiments are all that necessary or useful. It's nice to have an extra vit but not necessary. (maybe with a lower level/equipped group it may be necessary) Being unba...

I'm curious as to why the need for xp was continued? What's the purpose to XP?

Why is it that almost non o...

You should be crying for all Americans, the average American gets 13 days per year off. You can barely take 2 weeks off in a year let alone a whole month.

Ogres don't tank well because their agility is really low. Thus they get hit very easily regardless of their AC. As for barbarians only having two classes, well there is only one shaman choice for a good race and that is the barbarian so they're not that neglected. Also they make a fair shaman since...

Got to see the elementalist in zone action yesterday... or rather I thought I saw him do something! They're like a one hit wonder. Elemental embodiment for the main pc tank....

Would it be possible to implement a dot form for item names?

Rivi

What exactly would the problem be in letting an ogre 1h a two hander and wear a shield at the same time? If I recall correctly, ogres in their current incarnations really are horrendous at tanking anything. a shield would add - some extra ac - bonus to bash (they really don't fail using a twohander ...

Some snake players like the fact that it takes exactly one ration to fill their hunger. No leftovers to shove back into the bag, no leftovers to litter the floor with.

Who in their right mind would light a weapon :P
Well, unless it was for some rp purpose, but to rely solely on an illuminating weapon.... that's sort of scary.

I understand that it's supposed to be more difficult to play an evil race, but at what point do you stop? By your logic Gura, it would be okay for the immortals to implement a scenario, for Tiamat that would make it easier for good raced players. For instance, the dragons outside of Tiamat's chamber...

Isn't the mud color coded for information? I coulda sworn everything important was highlighted properly with good use of color. You know, like the ansi for FOOL, the health condition of targets, etc.

I haven't been playing in a long time, but I heard from a friend that tail items are in right? How about allow some Yuanti island quests to change boots to tail items. Or maybe some combination of feet/leg items into tail items.
