Receiving repaired items in shops

It would be nice if we could receive these into held containers.

Re: What do you think...

It's a tricky mechanic. I'd say logically we can think in languages too, but there's arguments to be made for whether the language barrier is a mental one or a physical one, and it came down to being a physical one. You might think in one language, but the recipient(s) would understand it in their o...

Re: What do you think...

It's something that's been discussed before, but thinking is a pretty universal way to communicate was the conclusion. So languages wouldn't really make sense over ESP.

Re: About heavy armor, and roundtime

So, the GMs did a bit of testing on it this morning, and I did some tests while they were doing theirs, and I'm about 95% positive that the problem is with the queue (Not the queue that sets up actions while in roundtime), and I'm fairly sure the GMs know this too. Basically what is happening is th...

Re: About heavy armor, and roundtime

The lag topic again, huh? I can tell by people's posts that it's a confusing issue. And it really is. I've talked about it before, and it is unrelated to roundtime. It's unrelated to network latency. It's a delay in the processing of the game commands, in some form or another. It sounds like Jirato ...

Re: Skinning - progressions

I actually thought the skinning on coastal cliffs was pretty odd, myself. It's ridiculously easy for someone with almost no skinning skill to get good skins off of things there.

Re: Just some ability ideas.

I actually really like all of these ideas. Especially the varying "win" conditions. I'm all for mercenaries getting paid more, as long as their tasks reflect an increased difficulty, not just in terms of raw power, but in terms of tactical difficulties. There are tasks that do not NEED th...

Re: Generalized Abilities Concerns

I'm going to chime in here with this: With the game how it is now, I probably would not have made Barius a mercenary. He is now stuck this way, effectively, but I have not bothered trying to change this nor will I. It is unfortunate that new guilds and ability generalization has caused people to fee...

Re: Just some ability ideas.

Yes, Mercs getting paid more would go a long way. Currently, even Tse Gaiyan members get more riln per task on average than mercenaries of the Coalition do. For less work.

Re: Who List/Friends Verb Expansion

I simply find it disconcerting that the friends list dictates what my emotes do in the first place. If you want to be more friendly with someone, use more friendly RP verbs. I don't want to type "greet fred" and find out that just because I consider Fred a friend, I'm giving him a hug inst...

Re: List of all verb outputs

Very handy to see a list like this. Although I'm tempted to make criticisms on some of the verb echoes.

Cheer self. Is the "Tacky." commentary really necessary, for example?

But that's a separate topic. Thanks for posting this.

Re: Generalized Abilities Concerns

I don't really have anything of substance to say besides that it left a bad taste in my mouth when I started looking into getting some of my merc skills back and realized I didn't even have the skill requirements for some of them. It left me without any motivation to play. Raising the bar and puttin...

Re: DRY in front of a fire

There should e a really low chance, maybe like 1 or 2 percent that when you go to dry yourself in front of the fire you actually catch on fire, just so there's always that moment of hesitation when you go to do it. Is this the last time my buns won't be unfire? I don't like posts like this. I hope ...

Re: Two-Weapon Combat Changes

For what it's worth, I really like shortswords in general, and I'd like to keep them especially useful to those who use two weapons or want to go all swashbuckly with a sword and shield. Rapiers are quite long, and using two of them, I just imagine that can't be easy to do without getting them tang...

Re: Two-Weapon Combat Changes

I'm still rather unclear on the end result. Will there be an actual point to wielding two swords, or is the viability of that style being removed from the game? From my understanding of what has been Said, I believe that it will still be viable, just not the end all be all. Think how dual wielding ...
