Suggestions & Ideas / Re: PK Ruthless (split from Challenges)

« on: September 13, 2011, 05:45:18 pm »

Would be nice if clan halls were opened up to everyone.  But by open I mean heavily guarded... so if you really wanted to PK someone they could hide in their clan hall.  And you'd have to ask your other buddies to break into the clan hall to kill them.

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Game Design

« on: September 13, 2011, 02:40:47 pm »

1. What kind of the game do we have presently?

Honestly, IMHO, one that isn't newbie friendly.  Either xp from mobs need to be increased for the lower levels, or the first 5 remorts need to be reduced some.  I know I have a GM, but also have alts which I tend to shy away from because of the xp tnl.  And trying to find places to level and actually get gear to be able to go to harder mobs is lacking to.  I try to help out newbies with a few decent pieces of gear, but it's like those few pieces for a newbie trying to get themselves would take so long or they'd get one shotted.

I think newbies need to be better educated about how to quest.  Even with perhaps adding to the questing pamphlet 2 aliases that would help them out greatly in questing.  At least they would have to read the pamphlet.

2. What are the things that we specifically like and specifically dislike with our current game?

I like the fact that the game never ends... ie you can remort forever.  Love the Grand Master aspect.  Love the quests though I despise them dearly.

What I dislike about the game? I don't like all the currencies that we have, gold and only 1 other type of currency for all the extra special stuff is needed.  We already have gold, tokens, Trade Points, RP award Points.  And if I had to chose 2 from all that I'd go with the Trade Points.  Because if we still see people roleplaying we can still award them Trade Points instead of the RP Award Points.  And it might actually encourage more people to RP, knowing that there is a chance that they will be able to get something more useful to them to use.  Or they could just use the TP to purchase the login/logout message feature, or the other features currently with the RP rewards.  But would still be nice to be able to trade the points like the tokens.

Suggestions & Ideas / Polymorph

« on: September 13, 2011, 01:48:58 pm »

Btw just want to say... Polymorph was in the game once before... and than was taken out cause I dunno why people thought it was hilarious to actually polymorph everything in sight, especially other players and make them make animal sounds for the duration of the spell cast until it wore off, also they were transformed into I think 1-4 different animal types.

PS.. I miss polymorphing everything in Olde York!

« on: July 25, 2011, 07:48:39 am »

Most likely to the point when you can just sit at your computer and watch text fly by while waiting to see if an imm tries to talk to you

IE... don't setup triggers on kill to track to another mob to kill it...
Don't setup triggers to repeat like farming...
Deff don't setup triggers to repeatably crash the mud, but the imms really love when you do that *runs and tries to hide from an inevitable slay just for thinking/saying it*
I'm sure sometime the imms will throw in a few more don't setup triggers

Some mud use cha for how many people can follow them... it's just really like a charisma factor the prettier you are the more people that want to "follow" you.  but cha shouldn't affect spells wis/int should.  so really all stats should cap at 22.

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Player Wipe (PWipe)

« on: November 17, 2009, 10:51:30 am »

Oh, I forgot to say I'd play again, because I"d have something new to do!

If you want something new to do start a new charater, or RP, or build a new zone, find something to do.

I don't support a pwipe, never will.  I don't like to spend my time on achieveing something just to get it all stripped away.  From my experience on another mud it took months if not years to get enough quest points to get gear from those was like 15K points to get an awesome weapon, and being active in questing each time to achieve that point of getting that all from like 10 to 20 points per quest, was something I enjoyed working for.  But, would I want to do that all over again? No, and I just feel that's the same way here, and mind you that mud had about 10-15 ACTIVE players (not counting their multiplayed chars) which would bring up the boot time highs to 20+.  With one pwipe killed the mud.

People probably still wonder why I still haven't bother to remort Riley yet.  I would, but I don't want to lose any more spells or skills than I already have with the stupid trainers...

Whether or not you do a pwipe to set us all on "even" ground (even used lightly cause nothing is ever fully even unless the whole mud was redone). That won't draw in new players like you would expect it would.  Old players will leave, new players might come, and what really changes?  Instead of a few level 50's sitting at recall you have a few level 1's sitting at recall cause they don't want to work to get anything else done, because in a year or two there will just be another pwipe.

Once upon a time in a dimension far far away.  There used to be great trainers that could teach you everything.  Than one day an egotistical Tyrant came and killed all the GREAT trainers in the realm.  Thus killing my fun in leveling. The End of the SECOND GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD!

Suggestions & Ideas / 4D where is it headed?

« on: February 27, 2009, 10:46:04 am »

I feel like some peoples opinions are like never heard, or perhaps like no one wants to speak up for fear of being hated or disliked or other reasons.  I'll try to keep this as mellow as possible.

Imho there are like 3 types of people that mud.

1) Those that just want to talk
2) Those that are your average gamers
3) Those that are going to meticiously rip apart the mud to find all it has to offer.

I pretty much fall into type 2. But of course like everything you can't just classify someone into one category.  So of course I have bits of 1 and 3 too.

I haven't been here since the beginning of 4D like some others have, but like over the course of 4D history there are some things that I have liked and others that I haven't liked.

Grouping with involement - I liked this very much, gave people the opportunity to group with others are be able to spend more time with others and be able to have much more deeper connection with those in the game.

Well than grouping got changed for the worse.... people left....  powerleveling was destoryed.  Experience was given out in proportion to how much damage you did....

Grouping was changed back to semi what it was before, but now you can't set the involvement.  At least grouping is better.

The new Training System.... ugghs...   this is almost like the worst thing that any mud can really do.  And why?  Go back to my 3 types of people that mud.

1) Well they really won't care too much they are really only here to socialize...
2) They want the most out of the game (and having the skills that are available to all shouldn't be held from them), but if they don't get the best gear or what not it's not going to bug them.
3) Well this type of person is going to be the one that is going to be the master of the game.  Any questions about the game you could ask this person and they would know *Permitted that if they could tell you they would, but we all know quest info being told is a big NO NO*

For the newbies the Trainning System provides a major problem, they are new and don't know there way around the mud.  Sure it's a great way to learn your way around but who really wants to be force to venture out in the world and try to get... *dies*   Let's try that again... to get a skill...

For the average player they might know a few places to go find trainers, but the average player most likley has not explored more than 50% of the mud..   Face it we just want to have fun, and there really isn't a leveling game out there that holds spells and skills from people that level.

For the people that know the game, there isn't a nook and cranny that they haven't explored, so they know where everything is.

As for me I would continue to level if given the chance.  I work from 9-5 and I play at work.  It's a great way to pass a boring day, but what am I to do?  Let's see well I could remort.... Well that's outta the question cause I'm not going to go track down needed trainers... Well how about power level newbies.... Well that's nice and all but shouldn't they go through mud school and quest academy first and LEARN how to play the game first?  I could sit in recall and talk... what's on the agenda today Politics?  I'll pass.  I could go questing....  Yeah like I want to spend 2+ hours trying to weasel my way into thinking like another human being that did the quests.  I don't mean to say I don't like questing but there are times when I wanna throw my laptop out into the middle of the street cause I can't figure out a quest.  I am actually happy with the quests I have figured out but others pretty much let the type 3 people deal with.

As for the new fighting system that people want implemented imho WHAT IS SO BLOODY wrong with the current system?  It works fine, and seriously the people that want the change how long are they going to stick around?  A week, a month?  Than what get bored leave and let the rest of us suffer?  If the people want change that badly, get on the cases of the builders that are in the process of building their zones, and what about the subskills?  There's only a handful of those implemented and in game.

Setting Recall Point

You say, 'Perhaps I should give you something easier to kill'

Ronib asks, 'Are there more people you want dead?'

Faeryl mutters, 'hmm...'

Faeryl says, 'Actually perhaps not kill'

Faeryl mutters, 'Kitolani has been...'

Ronib whispers to Faeryl, 'I'd do almost anything for you, love.'

Ronib states, 'Kito, eh.'

Faeryl says, 'Can we go someplace more quiet and secluded'

Ronib rubs his chin thoughtfully and goes 'Hmmmm...'

In A Pitfall

Eeeek! You accidentally stepped into one of the nice little traps that the

Hopefully you didn't get impaled on any of the pointed stakes thrust into the

Ouch! Your left thigh is caught on one of the sharpened poles.
That really did hurt!!!!
The blood is squirting from the wound! Better heal quickly!

Ronib stalks up.
You follow Ronib.
South Trade Route

Faeryl states, 'As I was saying Kitolani has been very elusive with the drow child that Riley gave birth to when she was
 confined on the altar of Shartrance.'

Faeryl says, 'I've been trying to get my hands on that child for some time'

Ronib states, 'Problem is - Kitolani know I'm yours.'

Faeryl frowns.

Faeryl asks, 'What if we broke up temporally?'

Ronib rubs his chin thoughtfully and goes 'Hmmmm...'

Faeryl asks, 'and had nothing to do with each other?'

Ronib says, 'We'd have to part with a bang'

Ronib says, 'I think'

Faeryl says, 'I want to get that child'

Ronib mutters, 'How about...'

Ronib says, 'You attacked me'

Faeryl exclaims, 'and she refuses every time to even give up anything!'

Faeryl rubs her chin and goes 'Hmmmm.....'

Faeryl says, 'I'm listening'

Ronib states, 'You hurt me bad.'

Ronib says, 'And the story is you think you've killed me'

Ronib states, 'And you go bragging about it.'

Ronib asks, 'What do you think?'

Ronib states, 'Nobody will suspect anything then.'

Faeryl says, 'What if I put you in a spiderweb at Recall with a little note'

Faeryl says, 'I'm sure someone would save you'

Faeryl grins.

Faeryl gives Ronib a kiss.

Ronib states, 'I hope there is no truth in it, though.'

Faeryl says, 'Depends on if you can manage to get that child'

Ronib smiles wryly.

Faeryl says, 'but I won't hold that against you too much'

Ronib puts everything he can into the bag of Aeolus.

Ronib stops using the claws of Rahkz.

Ronib stops using Robin Hood's Official Greencoat Dagger.

Faeryl says, 'since I've failed in my attempts a few times myself'

Ronib sits down.
