You people making these suggestions should apply to become a coder here. Probably best to keep it simple.

I don't recall ever reducing tanks anywhere except the ak'nthet fight in SPOB, hasn't caused a problem in izan's yet. Not sure why trolls are getting owned. The bash rate on casters is mostly ok, I almost never get reduced when zoning. I only tell the group to get reduced/enlarged for the final figh...

Lilithelle

I don't really think that this is necessary, the way to fix it would be to make spells last a fixed amount of time so things can be timed. the fact that spells based on specialized skills can last an extra minute or two makes things difficult and spells to fall at different times. Can we make specia...

Lilithelle

No, police use tazers on people who aren't wielding a gun and when someone is wielding a gun they don't go for shots that just wound they don't want to get shot so they shoot to kill.

Though better education will help that is only the smallest part of the problem, alot of crime comes from the divide between rich and poor and people who feel alienated and trapped in poverty. What is needed is more equity in society. And the people breaking into houses aren't radicals, they're eith...

Lilithelle

Guns make it easier to kill, yourself and others. Why we'd want something that makes it easier to kill people around I don't know. If your worried about personal security its been shown that dog are the number one deterant to B&E, and your dog isn't likely to kill you or a loved one. Even if you don...

Larim falls in from above, landing in a crumpled heap!
Larim slumps to the ground.
Larim crumples into a flat, bloody heap. Larim is dead.
Larim is dead! R.I.P.
Larim is stunned!
Larim slumps to the ground.
Your blood freezes as you hear the rattling death cry of Larim.

Just one comment about getting coders, I wouldn't mind them getting restrings or something fairly ungame affecting for their efforts. But frankly I don't think you want coders who would be doing their job for rewards because those kind of people are likely to cheat and show favoratism. Lilithelle de...

Lilithelle

I have nothing against restrings, its just artifacts that i believe create imbalance. And though some will rise the the challenge so to speak to try to get them, I suspect more won't bother seeing it as unattainable or too difficult to break into the cliques or over come the prejudice of not being a...

Lilithelle

I believe strongly in egalitarianism and I think I have some skill. Its lack of egalitarianism that drives players away, you start giving out artifact and the like and those will be the people who will get into groups. Those people without will be marginalized, how are they to develop skills if not ...

Lilithelle

I think the only proper solution to this is the suggestion of a special state of combat where your not attempting to hit a mob. I do agree, personally I don't want to try to hit most mobs with my beloved seelie staff. If we allow mages to not become engaged in combat at all by areas it would make zo...

Lilithelle

I think its only come to replace someone once and they're were understanding since they needed to afk alot. It really depends on reason, people who are looking after children while mudding get alot of sympathy from me. People who are afk playing another MUD get very little. Usually I just get upset ...

Lilithelle

Why you'd write to kossuth for this i don't know, i don't believe this is his area, he's probably just the only god that can stand to listen to to gcc and respond to whats said. Amolol if i may ridicule you on gcc its because your attitude not the points of your arguements, though i tend to find tho...

Lilithelle

Your trigger to reply to tells should then retog afk to turn the flag back on. Personally I use the time command triggered of autosave to keep myself logged in. Though I'm rarely afk, I always log off if i know i'm going to be afk a while.

Lilithelle

I tend to agree, I'd really rather have a balanced mud so people don't pick sex just for game advantage. How about getting rid of all the sex biased eq, and maybe throw a few mobs into the game that charm female players only, like Incubus. Can drop some of them on ethereal, make the veil in oakvale ...

Lilithelle

It was 4 at most, not 6! But still rather frustrating.

Lilithelle

They're illithids, they eat brains. Should work kinda like oblivion, if you invoke it when the mob is just about dead you get psps back but doesn't have to be all the way incapped either. An illithid in jot should be like a fat guy at a smorgasbord!
Lil

Lilithelle

I agree with Stamm in that it can be over-powered and make some fights that weren't intended to too easy and I've seen illusionists solo or in a group of 2 serious own casters with stun. Perhaps it could be toned down as follows. I'm not sure what the stun is based on now, but if it were changed to ...

Lilithelle

I don't like the idea of remorts in general, sets up a system where you have two classes of people. The newer players who probably don't know enough or have the resources to remort and the older players who do and thus get access to the cool classes. Sorry Arilin, making fun of rangers is a bit like...

Lilithelle

I didn't like Seelie at first, since it does just seem like a long string of similar fights and all the same type of mobs, and the patrols at the start are sadistic if not handled right. But it grew on me, I like it as it is, if you bring a good group you can do it in decent time with minimal deaths...

Lilithelle

I think its a good idea, but no need to add new classes, they could just convert to an existing but useful class. They could finally figure out their class is worthless and quest to remort into a druid or warrior. Oh wait this option already exists, just select item 6 in the log on menu.
Lil

Lilithelle

I think evils could use a small caster race like goblin, and another race besides yuan-ti to use for some classes, another choice to orcs for some day-seeing classes, i know yuan day see but they can't be all classes! Adding Githzerais to goods so goods can have PSIs I don't really like, evils and g...

Lilithelle

Oh and just because you spend 500 hours learning a new and cryptic quest can't justify more points unfortunately cause after a while that information becomes fairly well known, people get the info handed to them and suddenly the quest is easy,well easier!

Lilithelle

How much is there to dodge at 1 west?

Lilithelle

I think the point here thats being missed is, Gormal started this thread and his opinion doesn't count. Eq can't have too good a stats just cause its rare, I do agree with that unless its by other factors like have to go through x beholders just to get it. And its not that hard to get a group for MH...

Lilithelle

I think alot could be accomplished by simply removing the human race from the mud. Worst race ever, barbs too cause they're just tall humans with worse BO. There are several kinds of elves, we could add wild-elves, moon elves, gold elves etc. With the addition of elf illusionists and spiritualists(s...

Lilithelle

Could we delay the move till Belleshel gets tired of the lag and leaves?

Lilithelle

Nice that charm got its charm back, but it was a bracelet that wasn't too hard to get for good/neutral folks. The rare load stuff for silver bands quest was changed to just delayed load so it can be quested once per boot but decent wrist wear for goods, sylph and marble bracers of defense, are 1 in ...

Lilithelle

We just need people to try leading, sure forming up isn't a whole lot of fun and trying to get people to the zone and doing what their supposed to but after words its very satifying having successfully lead a zone and helped people get some eq they wanted. I usually feel pretty good after I finish a...

Lilithelle

Nah Moritheil just wants to use evils as well targets for his own reasons :P Good for getting to the auction.
Lil

Lilithelle

Your problem Hyldryn is that you tank too well, I drop heals on tanks when I notice they need it. Better they tank than me, I'd rather they not die. When fighting dragons and such I've noticed mages flee out and stay out because another area will kill them, where as a druid can flee out, heal up a b...

Lilithelle

Thats a lie and you know it Belleshel, Rylan was never a man. Unfortunately its too easy to alienate people with handouts. Even penalizing people for bad performance is subjective and possibly biased. I might start giving consideration to people who have failed past bids in future bids so they have ...

Lilithelle

Yes shifting is faster for getting people to the fire embody fight, getting back the dead is a complete pain cause they have no prot gas, prot fire, or fly. How it can be faster than the 3 shifts an illithid would need i don't know. Not a problem for getting the group to the zone, its only when peop...

Lilithelle

Anti-paladins don't have to be the opposite of paladins, perhaps they could fill other roles or have other strengths. And maybe for paladins to have a place more than just as fillers that warriors will have to make a bit of room. They will not be made obsolete by what I propose.
Lil

Lilithelle

Or this is a try 1.0 to get this working. Just because its not perfect doesn't mean the whole idea should be scrapped. It still seems an aweful lot like sour grapes complaining about what evils get and goods don't. My only issues with good vs evils in transport spells is that evils can easily get pe...

Lilithelle

Human mages take a 25% penalty in mem time over gnome and elf, gnomes are bashable by fewer races due to their small size and still get human hps. I think only a lunatic would pick human for mage. And maybe people will pick human for cleric, but if you check my response to Moritheil's post on humans...

Lilithelle

You chose to be obsolete when you picked the half-elf race, just as people who pick the human race do. This will not be the end of demi-human druids because the superior choice for druids has been and will always be grey elf. Why you ask? Innate elven sneak. I often walk around muspel and jot, who n...

Lilithelle

I don't care what 3rd book says, some of those druid ideas are loonie! Druids should protect nature, what humans do is an abomination of nature. Farms are sterile environments where just one kind of plant lives and wild animals and insects are discouraged, except maybe bees. And farm animals are bas...

Lilithelle

Evils gaining access to dooming druids could be balance by allowing Moritheil into evil groups (he's half-elf I think). Ok, that might be a bit unfair to evils, but they shouldn't get only benefits from these changes.
Lil

Lilithelle

So whats wrong with paladins being better tanks than warriors but only of evil aligned mobs? Their god is supposed to protect them from evil, should be more than just innate prot from evil :P As it is now they're just poor delusional humans thinking their god will help them, he won't, he doesn't car...

Lilithelle

Probably based on the giants level, if the giant is low enough level ogres can bash it. I have heard people talk about ogres being able to bash races no one else can, not sure which they were referring to. And I expect some support on my human eradication plans, down with humans!
Lil - Elf Powa!

Lilithelle

Actually it was aristan that was getting owned, I guess it could have been chanter not keeping him spelled up, or some other factor. I just wasn't impressed. Was Aristan and Rolaz in the Seelie run where both near spanks they died but Larem lived.
Lil

Lilithelle

Yup, I typod, i editted the message. I did not mean to say the gods are dumb. I meant to say they are not dumb, I appologize.
Lil

Lilithelle

I agree, try to give constructive suggestions and when the gods make changes don't complain right away let things play out and see. Things get adjusted the gods are not dumb, not always possible to forsee what changes will do.
Lil

Lilithelle

Ashiwi and Treladian are both right. And as a druid I hate humans too because of their ways, farms, natureless towns, clear cutting, etc. I associate with humans reluctantly because there aren't enough elves to battle those creatures even worse than humans. Things like the undead that are true abomi...

Lilithelle

Humans are a poor choice for most classes, so I don't mind if people want to pick human to group with evils. I couldn't stomache it myself. Wouldn't be a bad idea to give some races a minor wisdom upgrade so those picking human cleric do pay a price for doing so. Its clearly better to play a non-hum...

Lilithelle

I realize druids have far more cheese potential, its mostly for a straight up fight that cleric and druids might solo with similar difficulty. A non-tracker in non-nature for instance. And it depends what zone your in as to how intense the need for healing, sure you don't need it for zones like TF w...

Lilithelle

Remove well from druids? Why not, we wouldn't mind! Its a misconception that druids are transport providers, we're nature invokers! Like normal invokers but way cooler. Personally I don't invite paladins to zones, zones like clouds and seelie destroy their alignment. Zones like seelie where bashing ...

Lilithelle

Elementalist are presumably meant to be a pet class, i find most of the time its better to tank myself and just earthblood, flee, earthblood, flee cause keeping elementals alive is too much work. Big mobs seem to just hit through stone. A mage class with healing is certainly cheesey, though I don't ...
