Thanks Rias, it is nice to know you guys will look into adjusting things like this. I've been testing a bit and am getting some gains now, which is great. It's still very dangerous, but I feel like it's worth attempting now. Edited to add: Ow... You scan the area, looking for an opportune mark ... Y...

Actually, back in the day you could buy 1 rank every 30 minutes that lead to being able to get 48 ranks a day, if you had the money and never slept. I agree a bit that I think some of the skill requirements for thieves could stand to be looked at. To get 1000 stealth, or even 500 stealth? At this ra...

Can we please please please get some stealth gains for stealing from hiding? With sugar and all that too. I current don't get any stealth gains from stealing from a crowd. Considering the huge risks involved like getting attacked, killed, and losing rep in the town or getting arrested, I really feel...

Thanks for the clarification. I think that makes much more sense than what was originally presented.

I guess I don't understand why it is an issue that someone has a trigger that causes them to eat something, particularly when it's allowed to have a script that keeps you from idling out? That's basically the same thing in my mind. Consider this: 1 - It's not causing them any advantage in game. 2 - ...

Swordbreaker (idea)

Swordbreaker, specifically for two-weapon users. Swordbreakers are basically like a main-gauche, but typically wider and with a serrated side used to actually catch or stop the blade of an opponent by catching it. Leverage can also be applied making it possible to disarm, or 'break' the opponent's w...

Didn't have access to e-mail at the time. ;) So I did the next best thing to harrass you! And it's still not working for me by the way. Is anyone else having this issue or am I alone in this?

The "Play Now" link on the main webpage still doesn't seem to be working for me, though I can get to the wiki now fine.

I'm having trouble getting to the main webpage right now. Did the wiki poof?

Also: http://clok.contrarium.net/play/hmud This doesn't let me go directly to the game right now, it gives me a 404 Not Found error.

I guess my opinion is quite different. I don't really think that makes sense at all.

Oddities with layers?

I'm curious as to why I can't wear a jacket or coat with torso armor, but I can wear a surcoat or tabard over it, and a shirt under it.

So getting back on the topic of stealth, I tried hunting to raise my stealth again by hunting and here's how it went. - Hunt hunt hunt 5-20 seconds to find something. - If it's a deer/stag I never get a successful ambush, they're too perceptive. ( no !) - Pheasants have 1100 D for some crazy reason,...

Thanks for the responses. I noticed I don't get any gld points when stealing from a crowd. Is this intended? It seems like it should given that if I screw it up (which is often) there are some pretty nasty consequences. Also, are there supposed to be 3 constable copies in Shadgard? They make it a PI...

One more thing...can thieves get guild points from ambushing or anything else? Grinding the same task gets a little old really fast and amounts to basically the following: 20 breakins for rank 1 30 breakins for rank 2 40 breakins for rank 3 and so forth. Or at least some other variety in tasks? Like...

Thanks for the feedback!

I was also thinking... if you have an active warrant in a town, you should probably get a little bit of skill gains for successfully sneaking past NPC guards of that town, or the constable. So long as it is still a challenge for you, that is.

Stealth

In speaking to some folks, I understand that stealth is meant to be very challenging as it is powerful. However, I feel there are a few things broken with it that I wanted to address, and hopefully get some feedback on. Here's my situation: - New thief, getting Holiday skill gains, and regular train...
