Lame. Guess I won't bother.

Wow, that's a bold statement. I get the same feeling from Mad Men, probably due to the shared heritage. Guess I really should check Breaking Bad out after all.

Agreed on Mad Men and the Walking Dead. I've been meaning to catch on Rubicon too. I wish they'd put some pants on the Breaking Bad dude in the promo shots though. The ubiquitous shots of a weird dude in his underwear never really prompted me to give it a shot. I'll give it a try one of these days t...

That would be a nice addition, and we may do that in the future. For the current aliases, they'll all be viewable via the new "powers" command. With that command, you can list all of your powers and show info on them which includes the alias. Here's an example of what detect invisibility l...

Back up now.

Here's the list of the first converted powers that will be coming in with the new framework. To reiterate, these powers will be available alongside their existing versions for testing purposes. In other words, "cast 'haste' touk" will still use the old Haste spell, but typing either "...

version 1.0 of the Powers Framework has been deployed to the Testmud

What's the timeframe for 2.0? *duck* :)

Nice one! :)

Spells can grant temporary powers.

so an example of this could in theory be that arcane spell that turns the mage into a warrior temporarily? because i can already see this being put to use!

That would be an extreme example involving adding many powers at once, but yes, that would be possible.

It is fixed.

Read this for information on the new Powers Framework.

Comments, questions and constructive feedback welcome below.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm currently finishing up another project but will target some tweaks for the enchantments afterwards. Any other feedback would be appreciated as well.

There are still rules and they need to be followed. The problem with having the non-admin people enforce those rules is that they spend their time doing that instead of building and maintaining content. If you have an issue with one of those rules, this is a public forum in which you can argue wheth...

Sure, I'll take a look at it. For reference, it was turned back on over a year ago so if it's not functioning now it's a bug of some sort. It should increase the effectiveness of spells regardless of your class, but it only works on the spells with the same type as the focus of course.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Any more detail? Email or PM is fine if so....

Thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of giving them something else to enter combat with especially.

Check this post for more information on the stats.

As for the vamp sword, the intention was to keep the rate where it was but double the healing amount. I'll take a look and see if I gummed something up. Thanks for the feedback!

Original post updated with some explanation of the identify output.

These attributes apply to the old enchantments, yes. However, the damage enchantments are unaffected by the duration and modifier fields. Those are intended for effects like blinding and stunning, not for straight up dealing damage. It's possible that they could be used for something like what you d...

If we really want to get the issues with the Rimi dagger addressed then let's keep this thread to that issue. If everyone just needs to vent about other balance issues then by all means go ahead.

If you want to start other threads though I promise to read them. :)

Damage is the % modifier to the standard damage. 200% means it does double damage, 50% means half damage, etc. I'll work on adding the base damage too so you can see exactly what it's doing. Frequency is the chance to fire each time the enchantment is checked. So for a burst enchantment that goes of...

The following items were added in the 08/08/2010 game update: ⋅ Weapon Enchantments : Enchantments have been updated to allow much more flexibility and customization. All enchantments can now have their damage and frequency modified by a percentage on each weapon they're used on. The new...

Updated!

I'll fix the rebooting issue this evening - sorry about that.

Sorry guys - I came down with the flu last night and completely forgot about this until just now. Thanks for stepping in Annam!

Yep they're both really nice. The Marvel comics app is pretty slick too.

That was pretty much my stance too...until about 9am this morning when I realized that I wanted one anyways. :)

Works great for forum reading too!

Got a 64GB this morning. Anyone else?

There's certainly some differences due to the size changes. I'm going to be taking a look at the base sizes in the near future and making some adjustments. If you have specific concerns please let me know what they are...

Is it still broken for you? If you mmail or petition we can swap it out for a new one which should fix it.

The cool-down is in place because the intention is for these spells to be used tactically, not just an "always on" buff. In other words, I want you to use it when you need it the most. That said, I'm totally open to adjusting the cool-down to make it a little more palatable. I will take a ...

Done - see the front page.

Sojourners,

On March 3rd 2010 Shar and I had an 8lb 9oz baby boy. His name is Edric and we are all home and doing great. It's been a hectic couple of months but I look forward to seeing you all online soon. :)

I'm fine, thanks. Big project at work is taking up a lot of time, but I'm still checking in and have some code in the works...

Thanks for your patience - we should have these kinks with the enw server worked out very soon.

Coming up again now...sorry about that.

I'm open to adjusting the cool down - any suggestions?

And keep in mind that you can type "recharge" to see the status of all your cool down timers.

Today it's my fault. Working on a long term solution as well...thansk for being patient.

I will take a look at it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Have fun with your squid. Everyone is right that there are easier choices and there are more powerful choices, but you should play what you think is fun. There's no harm in experimenting with other races and classes either, as there are a lot of choices and no limit on how many characters you can ha...

More consistent behavior sounds reasonable. The weirdness with the mounts should definitely be addressed. I see no reason why the timing should be predictable though. The Narzugons and their dragon mounts are ultimately there to protect Tiamat, not the black dragon consort. Danger and unpredictabili...

Why/how should they be changed? I certainly don't see any reason for removal.

How is once every 24 minutes the same as once every 12 minutes?

The problem being that you only have 5% fire? Am I reading that right?

Also - has anyone had any further issues with dragonbreath since the last update?

I haven't forgotten. I'm working on it.

As always, comments, questions and feedback are welcome and encouraged.

Ok. I will take a close look this weekend and get it fixed up.

I noticed that too - it will be fixed soon. Thanks, Kegor!

Dartan speaks truth. Check out the 2.0 combat threads in the Announcements forum for more detail...

Ok. Are you saying that it granted protection from things other than Environment? I can't see any evidence of that in the code-base, but perhaps I'm missing something?
