Ok. Reading through all of this, I have a skill to propose which may help warriors out when they're solo, without changing the high-end game to make it so much easier for a zone group. Read on: Physical Mastery Reflexive Skill Warrior/Paladin/Anti-Paladin Obtained at level 33-35. Possible Quest Skil...

I think the whole comparison between warrior skills and caster spells is fundamentally flawed. Casters: every 5 levels they get new/different spells. Warriors: Get a lot of skills early on which don't work very well (yet). With practice, their skills get better and better. Casters have a lot of spel...

I'd say about 75% of the number of times I go zoning, I'm the only enchanter and usually have more spellup targets than I physically have spells to cast, never mind the time spent casting em. If I actually spelled everyone up fully like they would like to be, my first spells would have ALREADY faded...

Those of us who have are keepin' the secret to ourselves, Kiryan. :-)

There's a number of places where the exp is as good or better than where everyone flocks to.

You mean the job of an enchanter isn't to learn how to type ~120 wpm as soon as possible and keep it up for hours on end? *boggle* Someone show me where this dream world is, cuz I want in. Kinda sucks when sometimes I'm too busy typing to even grab a drink of water for 5-10mins at a time. If you too...

Only explanation I can come up with that seems at least a little plausible is that the spirit won't flee unless engaged, so it fled again as soon as you engaged it. That doesn't really make a lot of sense though, could just be general weirdness being caused by the way it's implemented. (summary: I'm...

Xebes

You ordered it to flee twice, so it fled twice... copied from the news: - You can now order pets regardless of whether they can currently fulfill your command. When you order a pet now, they will perform the action as soon as they are available. No more spam-ordering that rescue! -xeb --------------...

Xebes

Yeah, kiryan, I agree with that. My thought was at least two of the pieces cycle through some of the less-done zones, while you could put a piece on zones that are frequently done (so you eventually gather some pieces just in your normal zoning cycle) I don't think you always should need a full grou...

Xebes

Kiryan- I like most of your idea, what about still making the pendants in parts though? Say the quest is a mob way off somewheres, needs to bring together a certain four pieces to complete the pendant. Then load the _pieces_ on random mobs within certain zones. It makes it still a quest, but adds a ...

I'd think lost knows wtf he's talking about when the subject is rangers. We're not discussing XP situations here, at all. In most difficult zones I wouldn't trust a ranger to bash anything essential, just because the skill caps lower so it really isn't as reliable from what I have seen. Now, what yo...

How about a high-level mentalist spell with a LONGish chant time, call it melt or whatever, that saves you from thrym proc or other para. with like 10-15* chant on it, it gives something else a mentalist could be useful for without being able to cast it super quick (so it wouldnt unbalance current f...

Some of us are used to casting 'spell' me to get a spell affect on one's self. Would it be possible for some of the spells that don't need a target to also accept "me" instead of complaining that a target was given?

blacklight works fine, if it were 7th or 9th it would suck royally, I already HAVE damaging spells in those circles. it seems to do at least as much damage as fireball, so it's not completely !damage.

One definite argument for the use of python in this case: It reads very easily and as Elseenas mentioned, has a short development cycle. My vision of what we're looking at here is to create something _quickly_ in python, then gradually replace parts of it in C. What would be nice is if we modualize ...

heh, TF's decent as a zone, imo.

*rofl* That's the whole point, Sniz... it doesn't really matter if you don't have _perfect_ stats. How you are as a player makes more difference than stats ever will.

Another thought would be (after enough code has been written to produce somewhat sensible area-files) to work with us on creating a test suite to insure that what we're making creates zones that the mud isn't going to choke on. And as it looks like Toriledit most likely isn't under active developmen...

Todrael: I was in a 3-ranger group in CC last night. It took upwards of 2 hours, and very much wasn't the fastest I've seen a group go in there.
