Wow. 1 whole crappy mage copper item.

Do you WANT me to list off the OTHER copper mage items?

Learn, then talk.

Dizzin

Agreed. Was gonna wait on eq changes, but I'll be an old man by then.

And Salen's right, the mage eq from there is the worst part. Even the crappiest copper items best anything else out there.

This needs to be fixed.

Dizzin

I've always wondered about this. Why cant people use the help files while in combat? I personally think that it would help newbies out in those early 3 minute battles against squirrels to read up on things as they come to them instead of having to wait for the battle to end and take up possible expi...

Namely, the help given by Staff after a crash. For Example, you're happily smiting in Seelie Court. Doing Faerie Goggles you have a half spank. You finish the fight, but half your group is dead. And just as you begin to ress, the game crashes. Now that means that half your group is dead deep in one ...

Dizzin

Named weapons should only be in the game as restrings. To this end there should, eventually, be a hardcoded way to get restrings that doesn't involve having to go through RP staff or any other staff aside from the actual restringing process. The rest of this thread can best be summed up in the immor...

Half the quests from YOUR zones Shargaas. Tattered rhemo leggings, platemail of forest, talisman of shadows/daggers could all use a fix. And just recently finding out you did Fire Embody somehow made perfect sense... And like Dartan said, the major quest eq from hulburg/ttf need upping. The quest mu...

Since it doesn't seem that Eating/drinking will ever come back due to attempting to save bandwidth, is it possible to have it just removed from code altogether so casters dont have that damn mem bug after boots/crashes/logging on that has it so you cant mem due to hunger/thirst. And no, just typing ...

Dizzin

You.. achexit!
Type.. "achexit"

Dizzin

That's all well and good. But 10th eyeing isn't the proc I was talking about. :)

Dizzin

Nope, I remember it too. I could swear we were told all instant-deathprocs without a definite save were going to be yanked in favor of different ideas. This deathproc remaining I have yet to see be saved against, except for the save the mob rolls to actually proc it :P. And the fact that it'll take ...

Dizzin

Make Spellcast Teleportation actually have an influence on whether mages fail relocate or not. (Duh?) Also, lower the lag on a successful or failed reloc by half. Can make it on just one of the 2, depending on how you look at it. Failing a reloc and just teleing around in your zone doesn't take as m...

Dizzin

Savras, you bring up the point that the first people to do quests actually DO do the hard work as well as take the risks to find out if they're gonna get screwed or not in the final item (2handed magebane with no warning?! haha). Also they have to work through quests not working right or some items ...

Dizzin

Yarash, it helps to be more up to date on the very top end in eq to make this argument. Top hp earrings in the game are 18 hp right now, AT LEAST. The top boots are 28 hp. The top leggings from SPOB I'm SURE are more than 15. Also, The cloak from BC is 50, so the total that snakes gain from stuff on...

Dizzin

Dont know if this has been changed in the last month or so, but as many people know, casting faerie fire on a rogue mob stops it from being able to hide. However, scarlet outline doesn't. This doesn't make much sense to me as both of them involve outlining the mob in flames and whatnot. Perhaps this...

Dizzin

With the introduction of new zones like Soul prison and Seelie court, it appears the equipment limits are as dead as the dodo. Boots that are 28 hp -2sv_spe pfa and levitate just blow previous top end eq away. And with these new huge jumps in equipment, the deficiency of yuan-ti continue to grow. No...

Dizzin

It seems to me that the dirk's proc only gives an extra attack when wielded on the offhand. Whenever I've had it as my primary weapon, I've never gotten an extra attack with it. So I'm curious why not? It's dice and hit/dam bonuses are extremely weak compared to any other high or even midlevel dagge...

Dizzin

It would make sense for Elementalists, and possibly even Illusionists to be able to cast Solid Fog. I see no reason why it's enchanter only. This will make no difference to goodies, but evils need a fogger or a squid in order to do a lot of zones and it certainly cant hurt balance to spread this ver...

Effreeti are !stun. Heh.

Just like to point out that in the incident described today.. the second group was actually the group that cleared the trolls since the first group had been in there from the PREVIOUS boot.

And I most definitely agree that the jot invasion rule is a dinosaur who's time is long past.

Dizzin

Heh, you've gotta be kidding me. As long as you can live as an ultra, Duergar make the best rogues AND clerics on the evil side, hands down. Also, since they can be elementalists, they have the most hp of any mage class. That's over 100 hp above drow at level 50, though admittedly can only be elemen...

Dizzin

Seriously, wtf is the point of these? Especially when you make certain items !id and !rent when it makes NO sense why they would be. I'm personally looking for responses from Area gods on this, especially Savras and Shargaas since BOTH of them have peppered their new zones with NO-ID items. To make ...

Dizzin

Shocked to find out you're still not playing Losh.. since the procs got revamped about 3 weeks ago.

Anywho, still think this minor addition would at least make sense and couldn't possibly hurt game balance. :P

Dizzin

Normally in any type of fantasy, a mages first melee weapon is a quarterstaff or a 2handed staff of some sort. With the new airship staffs that actually proc nifty things, it'd be nice if all mages were allowed the 2handed bludgeon skill. Maxing out at 50 or something of course. This would enable us...

Dizzin

Pretty much expected these replies, so just a couple more things that you guys brought up that I shall refute before I bow out and leave it up to the staff. Verarb, the hide cloak has been nerfed again recently. Most likely after that person you're talking about basically singlehandedly CRed a nasty...

Dizzin

That's exactly my point. The ONLY people who use it are people with volo boots. And they use it in a way that throws balance out of whack. Now I understand Tia items have a way of doing that regardless, but this can at least be balanced out by the removal of Camouflage. And frankly, yes, I'm fugging...

Dizzin

This spell is one that most illusionists will never bother casting, especially now that you cant do it in combat. Illusionists have a multitude of other spells that allows them to escape a spank or other possibly dangerous situation, so much so that casting camouflage would be more bother than it's ...

Dizzin

Europa Universalis 2 blows away the first one. I wish that the WW2 game that was done by the same developers would be released up here in Canada. Been searching for it and been rejected mightily every time. :(

Dizzin

Heh, Feeblemind goes through globe fine and dandy. You've prolly been seeing feeb bounce off of mind blanked mobs.

That is all.

Shrug, It was a nice start. Snakes now have gnomeish int and elvish agility to go along with our human stats. A shame they're still missing 20% of their eq slots though.... I still say giving us a chance at startup to choose between pureblood and halfbreed would be cool. Heck, Purebloods could have ...

Oh god, I noticed Shev is replying to many of the most recent posts, so I'm bumping this mightily in hopes of a response from the Supah Codah!

Dizzin

Haha I could swear Thanuk is one of the warriors who was saying: "Shieldpunching used to be the only way to stop !bash casters casting, but now mages have stuns and makes warriors even that more useless!" And so when a pain in the ass quest is added to increase melee's ability to stop casters castin...

Dizzin

Well, Seems registering worked for me too. However the time was changed from GMT-5 hours to GMT in that same stretch. So I'm not sure which did it.

Dizzin

I'm having the same problem with not having the colors change when new messages are posted. I figure maybe it's a problem with the timecode..?

Dizzin

Shrug. You just proved my point for me. Here's something you might actually understand though: Hey guess what Thanuk, I've been involved in the final fight for Kern, and for that fight, good lord! All the stuff we got was soooooo overpowered!! Oh wait.. you mean there was other stuff to do before th...

Dizzin

Thanuk, Respectfully, until you actually *do* the magebane quest from start to finish, you have no clue what you're talking about and I'd suggest that you shut your hole.

Dizzin

Okay, I went through the time to test yuan-ti against other races and this is what I discovered. Yuan-ti have the same Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution as Humans. They also have approximately the same Agility and Intelligence as Half-elfs. They also lose 4 eq slots. There are only 20 slots on a...

Dizzin

Well, that was pretty much my point Ash. As a drow, it never takes more than 3 searches to find. As a snake, I've spent 10 tries and more. Snake intelligence needs looking at, along with snake agi, snake dex, snake missing of 4 eq slots, etc etc. And please dont tell me that tail slot means much. Ev...

I honestly dont remember either way. I think it's happened when I haven't cast it within the previous hour or so etc, but it's been so long, and I rarely keep track of stuff like that.

Dizzin

Not quite sure what you mean Iya. If you mean have I ever cast the spell before, then yes, this was on my level 50 enchanter who's had the spell since 2-3 weeks after the quest went in. I'll admit usually it lasts a decent amount of time, but every once in a while it poofs almost immediately. And no...

Had this happen a couple times. Here's my worst one yet though.

Utterly agree with Iya about Faramir. This was supposed to be a man of the old, strong blood. A person who was prolly the greatest man in Gondor at the time, and they had him kidnap the hobbits basically instead of setting them free as in the books. Frankly, it looked like they wanted to make the ho...

Actually, Chrono Trigger with it's innumerable endings and New Game+ feature (which was the first game I'd ever seen that in and absolutely LOVE the concept) will take forever to truly be "beaten." Though you're right only takes 20 or so hours to get the better endings. Hehe, Loved that game. All-ti...

I had never thought of actually totally removing Invokers from the game before Glorishan brought it up. Frankly, I can see how it would help bring balance to the mud. Like Corth has pointed out, we've all done the zones without invokers before and still can with some increase of risk to justify our ...

Can something please be done about this? Failing 5 flees in a row in rooms with 4 exits is *really* starting to get tiring.
