No, two of the trips were today.

True, she didn't parry as much... but the armor didn't get severely damaged and certainly not destroyed.

Her staff did though... -.-

The armor Maggie is wearing right now was 'slightly scratched plate armor' I believe when she got it. I have been sent to the cross by skeletons, in addidition to fighting three of them, and made at *least* five trips to the mummies. It is now 'average rusty'. Armor may deteriorate faster now, but i...

Up! Everyone get in game!!

Yes, it freezes my client too. Most annoying.

down?

I had so many wonderful scenes yesterday, I know I'm going to leave out someone who's RP was wonderful... but I'll try... As always, Aristeaus, Gwendolin, Conner, Athian and Baurus were all wonderful. Pharun was quite amazing too, such a dynamic character, I'm glad I finally got to meet him. Cawdor ...

'wipes off' sound perfectly correct to me.

Of course, I'm from the South, so my perceptions might be off a bit... but I've never heard 'wipe off' as a term for destroying something... 'wipe out', yes, 'wipe off', no.

It can't be because of the music... because I don't have the music set to play. But yes, I have noticed it seems to be from going too fast from one target to the next. And it isn't the end of the world, but I thought it hsould be mentioned somewhere that someone familiar with the scripts can see it ...

I have noticed one thing that might want to get checked out. Every once in a while, when I Ctrl+click a 'bad guy'... I'll hit once, then the target/combat quits. Click again, one hit, it goes away. I can't seem to figure out a pattern as to when/why it does this; it seems to be completely random. Us...

As others have said, welcome to the game! And yes, we are all insane. And, from what I saw on Furcadia... well, it just isn't in the same league as Illarion. Illa is actually a *role playing* community, not an online mulitplayer video game that a few select people try to act somewhat in character. I...

The new client gives me no end of troubles because my computer is so slow. However... I won't go back to the old client. No way. It is *very* worthwhile if you can get it to work. And not just because of invisible wolfies... it's just so much easier in general, not to mention being windowed.

And up again. Yay!

Seems that way. Groar!

I think this is a *fabulous* idea. Especially concerning the languages, since as far as I know there is no real way to learn a new language right now. (Or did I miss something?) It would *really* enforce RP instead of 'powergaming' as everyone loves to throw about. You could interact with a group to...

Exactly. Ask, for example, 'Can anyone help me learn to carve?" or "Could someone help me with beginning to learn to fight?" Someone will amost certainly take you under their wing and show you around, and insert the OOC commands in an OOC whisper. Now, if you are using the new client,...

The best recommendation is to get in game and ask for help. As I've said before, most of us will drop almost anything to help out a newcomer.

I'm still taking around 30 hits to kill a pig, with slightly blueish green concussion weapons. But, my weapon is not that great at the moment, so that may have something to do with it.

There's definitely something off... I went to go see how things had balanced with the pigs, and there were 16 of them instead of 4.

Is there a way to adjust how quickly a *certain skill* makes you hit cap? So that the fighting skills don't add as much to the total as, say, the crafting skills, evening them out in the end. A way to compensate for there being so many skill used in fighting? Or, perhaps, have a seperate skill cap f...

So, here's a question: Are there too few low level monsters for beginner? Another one: Do you think you hit the skill cap too fast? As to question one... there may be *enough*, but the problem mainly lies in accessibility. It will take some experimenting, but I imagine the deer and maybe even the r...

I created a new fighter to see how training up from nothing was. I skill capped twice before tactics showed up.

Does the way you face your 'opponent' make a difference? IE, facing them, turned away from them, attacking their front/back/side?

I'm not just raging against it being unfair. I even said that it's *good* that even wonderful fighters would have to 'gang' up on more powerful enemies. If I sounded like I was just screaming that the new system sucks, it wasn't my intention. It's that it is now verging on impossible to *become* a g...

Before the new system was implemented, Maggie was quite capable of going down to the mummies, and taking them on 3-5 at a time without ever really being in danger. Pigs were 2-3 hits. After the change, pigs were taking 20-30 hits, maybe more. However, when the skeletons showed up randomly in the squ...

Speaking from some amount of 'real' experience... A fight between people of different levels of skill can be very quick. But a fight between very closely matched fighters can take anywhere from five to ten minutes, if not more. I have seen one fight go on for over 45 minutes, without a single blow l...

::cries:: You *hope?! You take it away for a full day and you only *hope* it will be back tomorrow?



J/K. You guys are awesome, and I'm sure the changes you are in the process of making will be too. We love you all!

Cain... I quite agree. My point is along the lines of the 'give an inch they take a mile' theory. The more lax we let things get, the more lax they will get, and then things will be pushed to be more lax in the next area, and so on. And it has long been clear that whenever possible, OOC should be ke...

I can't speak for anyone else, but as far as I go... The reason I get onto people about OOC conversation in 'populated' areas, is because if nothing is said, people will get more and more lax about it, until you end up with a Tibia or Everquest like mishmash of IC and OOC, to the point where you can...

Just to play devil's advocate, *sometimes*, especially when dealing with a large grup trying to sort something out, it is unavoidable to speak OOC in-game, without whispering (as whisper can only travel so many squares). *However*. If such a situation arises, it should be taken somewhere where it is...

I can think of a few possibilities off the top of my head: 1. Your computer is (or is running) too slow. Try closing some other things, if you have been playing on this client before, and if you have yet to get this client to run, try 'downgrading' some of the specs, like making the graphics resolut...
