Re: Training areas?

It's not what you fight, it's that you fight. Once you get too strong, you will stop learning from weaker monsters, so you have to keep moving up, but fighting a demon will give you no more skill than fighting a wolf. Technically, monsters who hit slower, you will learn less dodge and parry from if ...

Re: Traveling merchants

No I mean physical bottlenecks. Like bridges. Or doors. Or cave entrances, or other places where mouse control isn't very good. I don't understand why that should be a problem. You can run diagonally onto bridges. If a monster follows you onto the bridge from the other side (which he normally won't...

Re: Traveling merchants

What bottlenecks? I run 2 HD 6850s, a quad core clocked up to 4.7GHz on air and 16gb of 2133, my primary drives are SSDs and my internet connection is great.

Do you mean if the server lagged?

Re: Traveling merchants

I've run all over the map and a monster has never even got close enough to hit me, let alone kill me. You ever tried running between Bragon and Zelphia's shrines? Requires running through trolls, dianosaurs, two bridges, a bunch of skeleton archers and a mage or two. Yeah you can run from most thin...

Re: Traveling merchants

Other thing about merchants is that you can not always access all towns. Some ban non citizen from entering for some reason. Though perhaps this is on purpose so that merchants have to choose a town? :S (A bit unfair for runewick citizen though, people come from other towns and use their resources ...

Re: Magical discussions

All the runes are still stored in the database, but the new system almost certainly won't use runes. We don't know the details of the new system yet, so it's pointless to speculate, but we'll keep in mind how good the mages are. More likely than not, the runes will just get wiped and the skill will ...

Re: Why are certain age ranges blocked?

No thanks to the idea of people who are magically immortal straight off the bat, Qeewee. Right up there with werewolves, half-demons and catgirls.

80 is the max age of characters in illa. Once they become 81 they die of old age and the char is deleted.




Just kidding.

Re: Armor types

We're discussing our options with armours right now, and how they fit into the fighting system. We'll tweak some more things with the fighting system, and then once it's done tweak the armours so they're balanced better. Then we can think about having some indicator about how light/heavy an armour i...

Re: Bad guy dos and donts

I won't discourage you from roleplaying anything provided it's within the game rules, but that sounds like a generic PK build. "Good guys" have Player killed many times. You should avoid killing, regardless of if you are a GOOD GUY or a BAD GUY. That is the difference between being a good...

Actually, they don't ;).

In Illarion, monsters and NPCs are distinctly different entities in terms of code and capabilities. NPCs can assign HP reduction, but they won't fight you.

I agree with you Adrian, but I wish you wouldn't use "killing people" as a metric. I understand its relevance for the example, but killing shouldn't even come into question when we're talking about Illarion. PKing is NOT a measure of how evil your char is, AT ALL. You should avoid killing,...

Re: Bad guy dos and donts

Personally I think lawful evil is the best way to play a character in Illarion. To me, the best kind of bad guy doesn't kill, or dress in a cult robe and sit in the corner of the tavern with his hood up. He isn't hated by all, or anti-establishment. He manipulates. He doesn't need to hide, because h...
