Ideas

[Seig]

I know I'm going to sound like a complainer, but I think that assassin's should get a move similar to impede. its too simple to cure the movement impairing toxins. I think we should get something like the ability to trip someone as they try to walk away, which makes them lose balance and fall to the ground in the room that they move to

[Silas]

Not needed by any means. Zombiewort powder, or even stacking zombiewort and mixtures of ixodes/celica is more than enough to keep someone in one place.

Not to mention, you can incorporate brawling and runic combinations to help impede the movement of people.

[David]

I think what Silas is trying to say is once you master your toxins the thought of an impede skill will become an after-thought.

[Seig]

yeah I get that I should be able to do that, but the big problem I ran in to today with Ilshara, is getting a powder in. they either 1)charge as soon as I hurl or 2) run before I can even start stabbing.

I would love to be able to decapitate a slain foe so I could keep there head as a trophy for a day or two

[Jaethor]

Just for reference, if it's a common and pretty much unique feature in IRE muds, chances are I won't code it. There are exceptions, but let's take it as a rule. Yes, it's a silly rule. I suggest you complain to Zycandos if you have a problem with it... That would help.

Lies, and artifice!

This probably sounds lazy, but I think it makes sense. A torch of some sort in public areas (The great oak, centre of the plaza of seasons, etc) that you can light without having to use your own. Maybe have it set so that it has to be replaced by the city every so often (though hopefully, less often than if you left a standard torch burning constantly) Just a thought.

Well, Golgonath does sort of have a giant, raging fire on a pedestal in the middle of the city...does that give off light? If not, well!

Elysium (at least I think) has their fancy altar in the Plaza, holy light for the win. Maybe require a Templar to chant some pretty hymns at it every once in a while to keep it lit. I'm probably wrong, but I thought something of the sort was in the description there. Maybe a statue?

Ysallyra...uh. Yeah, you're on your own there. Maybe a communal bonfire or something that needs refueling once or twice a year?

EDIT: Success. It's a marble altar with golden spires.

[Malic]

The Flame in Golgonath does provide light.

For Ysallyra I'd say they could have "Earthstone lamps swathing the area in a gentle amber light." sort of thing.

[Dimetrius]

EARTHSTONES.

DO NOT WORK THAT WAY.

But no really. That sort of gets me thinking, 'Why are we not just using big light crystals'. Everyone has those :/

[Alaxandria]

I dunno, maybe the mages should have a like uhh... "Ignatius Crystalis Magnis" or something, where you get 5 mages together and creat a giant public light crystal...

Oh wait, that screws Ysallyra over still anyway,

Btw: Thumbs Up Dimetrius. I'd click the like button if there was one.

[Dimetrius]

I don't think there are five active mages at all, with the three guilds combined.

I count...three.

Task Commands

I think a "task status" command for guild tasks would be very helpful.

- With the alchemist and shipyard tasks it could show the current state of the potions or sails.
-- The alchemist could taste each one and let you know if one of them is done already.

- For the scout tasks it could show where the scout is currently located.
-- "Last spotted in the Grove of the Druids."

- Intruder task, it could display the health of the intruder and/or where he is.
-- Also he will kill someone if you are too slow, yet you punch him. The scouts are friendly and greet you with a warm smile, but you chop them up. Just an observation.

It would also help if there was a static gnome in Nisse for the retrieval task so you don't have to run around the village trying to give the box to whichever gnome it was that wanted it.

Additionally, a "task forfeit" command could be useful so you don't have to wait for a task to expire before getting a new one. This could be used if you get a task you're not interested in completing.

-"Kill Songaar."
-- I am not interested in completing that task.

That said, I like the task system. It would be nice if they gave gold or crystal rewards but I understand that the market is considered gold-heavy right now, so I'm not complaining.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

This led me to the "If it takes 2-3 mages to use their biggest skills, why would it take so many to make a big light crystal" which then led me to a certain "How many mages does it take to..." joke.
