(Tue Feb 12 10:06) Schrade [newbie]: where is best place to make a suggestion that will be taken seriously?
(Tue Feb 12 10:07) Solar {newbie}: any suggestion anywhere can be taken seriously if the right people read it and the suggestion has enough ...

the wounding system is more of directed toward players than mobs in first place...and dealing faster damage makes it really bad for players getting wounded in combat

Good. Having a hole poked in you with blood coming out is something players should have to be worried about rather than being a ...

In addition, bleeding wounds should complete their damage faster. Since the majority of bleed damage is totally wasted in a normal situation. This is a standard problem with DoTs in all games, and definitely applies to Icesus wounds in their current state.

Not to totally hijack the main idea of the thread. But random glows could be disenchanted into totally useless "grey item" shards, which would have the same df/silver value as the item before it was destroyed. Only the essence would be near weightless, and a better option than lugging around ...

What do you think about such an idea to spice up the shifters:

Wounded:
1) More damage on wounded spots (depends on graveness)
2) Improve wound: improves the existent wound state


I think tweaking wounds in general would be a good thing, not just for shifters.

As it is now, getting wounded isn ...

perhaps i have missunderstood something, but what i am trying to say is that maintenance on a weapon should stick. yet no matter how many times in a row (without fighting inbetween) i still can work on my weapon over and over again and it says the same thing.

why would my weapon look like it could ...

While the internet is a confusing place, do not be fooled. The avatar means nothing, I assure you, that is not infact Chuck Norris giving out advice on how to melee properly in Icesus.

The prompt you get about the weapon needing maintenance is not a bug I think. You will only get that when trying to maintain a weapon which doesn't need it. (or when it actually runs out mid-battle) I guess the reason is that weapon maintenance removes the "sharp" status from a weapon, so it can ...

Awesome and elegant fix to the crappy random glow system

It has generated quite some renewed interest in players racing to be the first to get some decent shards which also can only be a good thing.

Was thinking about loot containers when I updated my gigantic looting macro. Most people carry like 2-3 looting sacks? Maybe even more on the B'rogh or Firbolg players.

Also maybe having a bunch of sacks is inefficient or spammy for the server, for example my looting alias.

Maybe a solution to the mid/low level eq problem is not creating eq mobs as such. But tweaking the glow system to now and then drop something fairly rare and useful to players. This system would save coding areas and eq mobs.

A drop system where "rare" and "epic" gear, which would always be useful ...

Stacking corpses has absolutely no effect on gained devotion.

Hmm odd. Two or three corpses would give more as a sliced pile than sliced individually. Perhaps the bonus devotion part of the code was remove recently, when sd_slice command was made automatic. But if it has always been that way ...
