Hunger and Thirst

Freo · Post by **Freo** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 1:51 am

dude your completly missing the point, what I was saying there was that it isnt life-life, as you so put it in the message before mine, to have a bar telling you when you are hungry or thisty.

Stag does have a point though. It's no less life like to have a bar telling you you're hungry, than it is to have a bar that is telling you that you have been hurt so badly you're about to die. Or for that matter, your spell power is getting low. In RL you would feel this. In Illarion you can't, as yet, feel anything. Until we're all hitched up with full cybersuits a bar will have to do. I dont dislike the idea of a hunger bar and I can see how it would aid RP. Is it necessary? No.

I do not know if this has been posted yet but suppose apples/cherries would only slightly raise your hunger bar but stuff like cake/cabbage would greatly increase it. So if a person was hunger they could eat tons of apples or like one cake bought from bakers or farmers. It would increase the farmer and bakers profits.

Kilrathi,

i dont know why you do this, but belive us, you can only make good Proposals when you actually can play the Game.

What you just proposed is already in the Game.

And please, dont insult me beeing a Fool, thats not the way a mature Person speaks to another.

Darlok i was posting a reply to this message board i did not know what was in the game but i do know what was posted on this board and if you act like a Fool you will be marked a Fool by me or somebody else. O and that whole fool thing on the other board is my signature not ment to insult anybody but the person on the other board took it the wrongway not my fault only his.

@Kilrathi
You should seriously watch your tongue. You're making a lot of enemies, and they WILL find a way to get you back you know. Murder is only bad if it is WITHOUT an rp reason, and as good a player as both Darlok and Grant Herion are, by jove they WILL find a reason. And mind your little childish name calling, I just posted this to help you out,

As for the hunger/thirst bar, that would be ok I guess, it would make a better market for farmers and cooks, but the real question is what the hell do druids have mana bar for? I know it can't be taken out because you choose your path as druid or mage AFTER the character interface is put with your chara, but I would just as soon see a smiley face or a "back in 15 minute" sign, as I would a mana bar that I can't bloody well do anything with. Just a thought you know

Oh there is no way talking to you Stubborn.

2 Things.

First, if we all would play the Game entirely on the Boards, than your Proposal might have some vaule.
But we play this Game, and its already like this.
So you just wasted Time, Space and some of my Nerves.

There is absolutly no need to fill Postings with Things that are absolutly useless for the Development of the Game.
And thats the Reason of this Board, and not to repeat the Things that are already in it.

Second, we are currently on an absolutly OOC Board, no Sigantures here apply on the Character, so you (i suppose that) tried to insult other Persons with that, and thats a clear Break of the Rules.

You should really start to look for your own Faults and not accuse anybody else that they do you wrong.

Shoni yes i am making enemies and i have no problem with that.
But let me ask a question if Darlok and the other dude are great players do you not think that they have more enemies than friends so if they do get me back all i will have to do is find enough of thier enemies to get them back for getting me back and if i do that i will have a great rp reason to kill them dont you think. Even a weak player with enough people on their side is strong. A strong man alone is only as strong as himself a weak man with many is as strong as those many. O and Darlok i type my signature out always from now on

Off Topic-
I don't think Grant has that many enemies... Niether does Darlok, we are just despised...

On Topic- I like this idea and hopefully it will be implemented later on, but I do not think it should be a top priority since we already have a primitive hunger system already.

So, you are talking about fighting against the Charakter Darlok, or did i understand something wrong? If you talk about this, i dont think that there are a lot of people who would fight against him.

isnt beging despised same as having enemies all the despisers need is a push in the right direction.

Back to the topic wouldn't hunger and thirst be more realistic.

Grant Herion · Post by **Grant Herion** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 10:11 pm

Off topic- no no, Kilarirth, we are despised, and not liked, but I don't there are any people who really hate either of us... Except Viola, but she just hates Grant, and she doesn't count.

On topic- This implemented would indeed seem realistic, but it isn't vital to this game so it can wait, I think more plants and the reblancing of the fighting system is more important.

Shoni · Post by **Shoni** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 10:12 pm

I think Kilrathi is trying to post jibberish as much as Paul. And the only reason Darlok or Grant would have any people to attack them would be because the people are stupid. And seriously, how do you know that 5 weak people could take Darlok in game? You're not even in game! And btw unless you put in your account request about a week ago you'll have to wait a little longer, they stopped it untill next month I hear.

On Topic, that sounds really realistic, like if you starve then you die. But that would suck extremely if you went demon slaying or something, you kill one of the strongest monsters in the game, and live. Then on your way back you die from hunger, and your stats go to hell. And isn't it a hunger/thirst bar? About the only thing we drink is potions, that would make the druid's life a very rich one all of the sudden. This all sounds good for the economy, but kind of harsh for players who don't think ahead, which it should be harsh for. I just don't know where I stand on the topic, there's a lot of good OR a lot of bad can come from it. Let's just sit back and watch

Kilrathi · Post by **Kilrathi** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 10:13 pm

I have never said that hunger/thirst were top priorities but they should be put on the to do list.

And if people despise you they are more likely to attack you than shake your hand so if you give them a reason they will attack you

Reply to Shoni if Darlok and Grant are as good as you say they are then you would get 10 people to attack them and not all of them will be noobs because the older players are more than likely to have greater reasons to attack Darlok/Grant

ps if you wish to compare me to Paul so be it i am trying to post things that have to do with the board and if somebody starts talking back to me i will "fight" back.

Crocket · Post by **Crocket** » Sat Jul 26, 2003 2:01 am

I was on just a minute ago and I got a message every now and then saying "You feel tired and hungry." Or something like that. I would eat something and just a little while later I got the message again.

Maybe this is going to help the roleplaying a little bit. :cheers:

It's a pain in the neck when you first do it and realise you have no food left because you ate it all BEFORE the change

It's all very well these new changes but I think that when someone fires an arrow, or begins to fire it should come up with the message

Someone (*****) fires his bow. or fires some arrows.

This message need only come up once per person but not everytime they fire. I hate the damn snipers and I would feel safer in town if this was implimented knowing that snipers would definately be caught.
