stealing thread for a sec As foreign as this may sound, I don't recall many people playing invokers on Homeland. there was a reason for that, they were boring. they had no solo ability and not many spells to entertain yourself or walk around the mud easily ie no gate/fly and think no tele either. a...

Pontle Liliopiliopier (Strono, Bavar, Kuyar Ravenwolf, Casne, etc.) cool to see lots of familiar old faces.

Most high level zones could benefit from some sort of boss calling. Not all of course, but most. I think it removes some of the twinkability, although I'm sure there are those out there who will find a way (not that it's a bad thing) to twink almost anything. In this case, by "twink", I mean to crea...

It already does that as it is. (Reports how many notches from specified each roll is.)

One of my favorites... What's a rhemoraz? IC1/2 both. :) The cloak too. :P I did an Internet search on both spellings, remorahz and rhemoraz, to see what I could come up with. It seems that they are both used throughout AD&D related literature. Authors evidently spelled them differently over th...

For some reason it tags player's name at the end.

Probably should be the player's name and not woman or man.

Hurm...what if you made Jot invasion call all or some of the grid mobs to a certain valuable fight or fights. You'd then have to clear grid in order to do those fights. How crazy would it be if you were on second gatehouse and all the beards came rushing in?

Text sometimes goes by too fast, Burma. It's called highlight. Not difficult. Learn it. Use it. Also, use gags for melee combat. If you're not, you're insane. You can also gag most of unrelated caster spam, i.e. necro pets, clerics, spammy ass ghealers, etc. There's simply just no excuse for anyone...

I never announce over gsay what I'm casting. If you're not intelligent enough to watch the screen and pay attention to what you've been assigned to cast, then DIE! I can't tell you how many times I've aborted spells because some other offending invoker was casting something he/she shouldn't have. Th...

Burmadapig

Yah Shevy that's just the basics...it's far more involved as you well know it can be. The high level stuff is fun too.

Burmadapig

That was kinda tongue-in-cheek Vigis. RessFX here has always been looked at as a balancing factor from what I gather. I doubt seriously we'd ever see it go away, but you make a good point in its favor of staying.

Burmadapig

Maybe instead of having to repair items, tradeskills could work hand in hand with the !rent items someone else proposed and what you said Kiryan about how conjurers could do. Kiryan, you hit the nail on the head as to what I have been trying to say about tradeskills, but couldn't quite articulate. Y...

Burmadapig

Would you trade your level 50 wearing maxed out equip to a Homelander for their bright and shiny new (possibly well-equipped through player generosity) level 1?

Burmadapig

been there done that...funny as hell

Burmadapig

ROFLMAO KIRYAN!

That so owns!

Burmadapig

We don't need stone + stone nor heal + heal. In my opinion it just makes the game that much easier. Adding the offensive combos or creating new offensive combos could be fun and interesting, but I don't think players need anymore defensive help. Why add any offensive combo then? Invokers > All The ...

Burmadapig

<rant on> Why does it even matter what the Toril only players think? They aren't the ones having to start from scratch. They aren't the ones who have lost anything. The only thing that concerns them is that for whatever reason they seem to think that if Homeland players are given a level for level, ...

Burmadapig

I'd think that you'd only have a slightly more powerful amount of damage using it targetted instead of as an area. It would never be the equivalent of a targetted spell. I think it would be most useful when you wanted to area without hitting a particular mob, such as a questor that happens to be in ...

Burmadapig

Essentially you are saying to make area spells also multi target spells. Sounds like a cool idea. I think all you'd have to do is make all area spells targetted if they have targets passed to them, otherwise they would remain area. Target code exists, but would have to be tweaked to accept multiple ...

Burmadapig

Kill tasks are similar to quests as they are assigned by a questor. Kill tasks can exist for any level, but in this post I'm going to focus on those for levels 1 - 20. The coders are crafty enough to code this, so I'm not going to try to plot that out here. The general idea is for the questor to off...

Burmadapig

Cool, that's where I wanted to end up anyway. Hehe. Had to play devil's advocate and err to the side of insanity. I wouldn't want my stuff obtained from zones to wear out to the point of replacing it either! Now, if tradeskills are implemented, I would like to see that stuff wear out though in order...

Burmadapig

So if items didn't wear out, the idea of having to maintain them to strengthen the economy and add some realism might have some merit?

Burmadapig

I agree, but the casual person (15 minutes at a time) will take an extremely long time to achieve master level.

My main focus of talking about tradeskills is because I found it something fun to do on DAOC. It is only secondary that it helps the economy by being a plat sink.

Burmadapig

Nope, breaking means it's broke and you can't use it any more. Lesser stats and not repairable to its original condition is not broken and is still usable.

Burmadapig

Nope, never said one thing about breaking equipment. I said wear out. I said at the very worst it would get to 70% and/or after being repaired a certain number of times be no longer repairable and keep only a few of its stats. I never once said it would break. I DO count on guild halls being a conti...

LOL, I'm sure you better plan on spending the weekend with her and stock up on beer and toothpicks to keep your eyelids open. I doubt seriously it would be any less and would hope that she takes far more than 12 hours to do.

Look at a FR map. Bloodstone belongs about 1000 km to the east of where it currently resides. The existence of it near Greycloak needs to be completely removed altogether.

Burmadapig

I guess the reason that Vahok and others seem to think that "we don't need any more noobs at 46" is because they have never played on Homeland and don't know the calibre of players that were there. Even if the players were just the average mudder, Vahok and others seem to think there is a significan...

Burmadapig

This post isn't about weapons or instruments breaking. It's about items needing repair. I can understand why you equated wearing out to breaking though. I was around when instruments broke as well. To me, it made getting an !break instrument something to look forward to. We're moreso talking about u...

Burmadapig

Kiryan, I think we're saying the same thing, just phrasing it differently.

Tradeskills = Time sink and Cash sink

You're right though. Some people will master it just to say they did.

Burmadapig

for annoyance or realism sake whichever you prefer :D mostly for plat sink hole to help make the economy have some value, although when guild halls go in that will be a huge sink hole in and of itself. The thing about tradeskills and having player crafted equipment wear out is that player crafted it...

Burmadapig

I think it should be SUMMON MIGNON as in Filet Mignon! Man that would be kickass! I love a good filet!

Burmadapig

What really would be the point of giving a HL player a level 35 character with buffed out eq? They still aren't going to know the land here well, they still won't have top tier eq (and if they did, then I would be pissed!), and the still won't zone often due to being unknown. They will tinker aroun...

Can't necessarily do identical race, class because many races and classes that were on Homeland do not exist on Toril.

Sure it does....Just needs a lil chEEze.

Level Restrictions i.e. That scroll was too powerful for you to use. BOOM! Welcome to Toril! i.e. That armor is way too high level for you and will degrade quickly. Every item on DAOC had a con (color coded level) somewhat the same as mobs do here. Based on the con of an item would determine whether...

LOL, with ancients the way they are do you actually think Tiamat would be doable?

Speaking of Tiamat...hey Homelanders...I wonder how Torilites would react to maggots!?

Burmadapig

I think he's referring to stockpiling potions, which was the problem when certain shops sold limitless quantities, etc.

Burmadapig

Therein lies the greatness of discussion. Just make it a cash sink instead of making it to where the equipment is no longer repairable. If indeed this was not implemented with tradeskills, that would work for sure. If implemented with tradeskills, then make it to where only player crafted items wore...

Burmadapig

I like this idea too. After my first encounter with SPOB, I liked everyone who won being able to quest class specific items. If the rewards, how many zones with treasure vaults are out there, would be class specific based on who opened a chest or something like that. The people who like having a spe...

As foreign as this may sound, I don't recall many people playing invokers on Homeland.

Burmadapig

rer, can we take 25% of your levels and give them to a Homeland only person so they can add it to the midlevel 30ish character and be close to 50?

Burmadapig

The idea of tradeskills goes hand in hand with equipment eventually wearing out. It is a great way to foster a working economy. The time investment to skill up make it to where not everyone is going to have a top level crafter and therefore makes it to where the crafters can control their prices and...

With the influx of Homeland zones and the rearranging of zones to more closely reflect FR, wouldn't a basic AD&D altas give you all you need to know? That's what we tried to do on Homeland.
