Re: VBU First Impressions

Ok, now that I have full use of the game, I have been trying to venture out. 1st - That compass/map in the corner is useless. It should be able to toggle off or be much smaller. 2nd - The text window is also in the way, if I can see through it I should be able to work through it. What I mean is, ea...

Re: Attributes

This version of the file doesn't link the cells up to show the formulae you used to derive your "efficiencies", so I can't say. Edit: Opened in OpenOffice and now see them. I'll take a peek. Edit again: Humans spot patterns in nothing. It makes us see faces in clouds, optical illusions wor...

Re: Attributes

I agree with you, and that's why I'm being so clear with information about attributes. Obviously, noone needs to know the actual calculations, but people should know exactly what their attributes are going to do for them. We want to remove the complexity of Illarion, and make choices obvious.

Re: VBU First Impressions

Damage is mostly based on strength and skill, also based on dexterity and perception to a much less significant degree, and how good your weapon is. The Lead Attribute is the attribute which governs skill gain of that skill. In terms of actual effect in damage: Str (major), dex and perc (both minor...

Re: VBU First Impressions

A map! this game needs a map! with the hot key M. or perhaps you could buy a world map and use it too find your location. It's rather hard to find your way to places that quests send you. Yeah, the reason a map isn't implemented yet is because we didn't think to bind it to the key "M" ;) ...

Re: VBU First Impressions

another question. When the game sometimes relogs and sends you back in time about an hour everything is reset except the quests. Is this going to be a problem in completeing them?

Re: Errors with new client

Your graphics card is either not supported, or more likely, you need to update your graphics drivers.

Re: VBU First Impressions

Morbius, I just had a long think about what you said, and I do wonder before I act on it what your attributes are like. If I increased the importance of skill on damage and decresaed global damage slightly, this would mean noobs get owned even more. In the fight you mentioned, how many more skill po...

The map is huge. It would be impossible to know every single spot you could walk off something and get stuck. I don't understand what you are suggesting we do.

First, make sure you're on Java 7. Then try this solution. I had a similar problem on the TS and this worked. It's a bit long though. Windows fix that worked for me: Step 1: Go to where illarion is installed (probably C:/users/yourname/illarion/) and there will be a file called "bin". Dele...

Cheeky bit of Trap. Decided to get into the genre after my favourite dubstep club played 0 dubstep in a 6 hour set the other night.

A lot of mages act like they're omnipotent. If in the process of doing that, they managed to piss off half the island, then, indeed, they may well be in danger. That's called a consequence.
