Small Ideas - AIN'T NO COMBAT THREAD

Haven

Can we change the newbie channel into a toggleable "Information channel" that's for helping all players currently online and not just newbies? The guides can remain and stuff to help the newbies in particular but I think it'd be nice to have an in-game resource to ask quick questions to things that might not fall under RP or IC stuff. That and not everyone desires or even knows to come to the forums or wiki for additional information on things.

Jensen

That would cover the huge array of things I should know but don't

Erzsebet

Or the huge array of things that people run into when they quit for a long time and used to know but don't anymore and need to re-learn now that they're back.

Teani

Hey, I still ask questions on the newbie channel even if I'm not (technically) a noob. <.<

Yeah but isn't the newbie channel only available to mentors/guides/newbies? Or did that get changed?

Moirean

That got changed a few years back.

Oh. Well then. The more ya know! Guess we could just do what Teani does.

Jensen

Or just make a newbie alt and ask such questions as "How do you leave the broken ladder drop outside Ayhesa without flying?" or "How do you start the fame line quest in Scidve?"

Jensen

would it be possible to add a siblings option to bloodlines? IE you dont have player parents but you're brothers/sisters

Rashar

Trager and I tried that, and I'm pretty sur Raz told him to pound sand. Probably not worth the coding effort, or something.

Parker

The option to use the pose command on minipets.

Areka

Is there any way to have sigils be searchable by sigil type? I'd love to be able to DIRECTORY ALL FLAMESIGIL and only look at those, etc.

Toz

A citymute command. For when 'be quiet' fails.

Gwenith

@Toz: You need to make a special hammer and call it "Shhhhhhh" for those situations.

Moirean

Could the credit price for customization be considered for lowering, perhaps down to 15 credits? You can buy customization certs for 10 ICs, so there would still be incentive for people to buy coins but it wouldn't feel like you're being ripped off if you elect to just pay in credits.

Gwenith

Could we have the website client looked at? Loading it up full screen makes doing things like moving room, looking at your current room, Info here makes it freeze from anywhere between 10-60 seconds. Seeing as this would be the introduction to any new-new players to muds and Aetolia it wouldn't be a very good first impression.

You can get around the freezing at ever room refresh by making your screen very small when you hit the play now button but then you aren't able to use any GUI boxes or able to change any settings or script.

Kerryn

I'd love it if COWHO had a way of denoting members already in the order so you didn't have to compare OWHO and COWHO to see who still hadn't progressed into the actual order.

Maybe color coded or even display their order rank.

The following members of the Congregation are in the realm:
Name Status Rank
------------------------------------------------------------
Kerryn............................................................. Overseer
Atticus............................................................ Procurer
Jami................................................................ Cartographer
Rashar............. Congregation


Edit: Can't get it to space correctly.

Slyphe

Pfff @Rashar in my congregation, get out of here with your blasphemy.

Areka

The following members of the Congregation are in the realm:
Name Status Rank
------------------------------------------------------------
Kerryn............................................................. Overseer
Atticus............................................................ Procurer
Jami................................................................ Cartographer
Rashar............. Towel Boy

Fixed.

Gwenith

Ways to purchase race track tickets IG? Either make it a gold sink or people can do it with credits earned?

Rashar

I think it is way too easy to win for them to do that.

Also.

Shouts full? Anyone?

Toz

Remove shouts, make yell reach slightly further, put a big horn at NoT that costs 100k a pop for global shouts. Maybe then I'll have some peace and quiet.

Rashar

And make it do 1 damage to you so we can consider It cause and go fight people over it.

Aishia

people do know about shoutsoff right?

Erzsebet

There are a very small number of shouts amidst a sea of useless/annoying/immersion-breaking ones that it is beneficial to keep shouts on for.

S'why I keep it on, anyway.

A config to turn the customized shouts of people off would be awesome. >.>

Like what?

Erzsebet

The useful ones? Things that pertain to you/your organization and/or things which are a threat to you/your organization.

Jensen

The irony of Haven asking

Haven

I dunno. I'm pretty silly.

Toz

It's somehow WORSE when all you can hear are godshouts - which I think do go through shoutsoff. And all the reactions on clans. If you've ever sat next to someone on a bus while they yammered on their phone, there's a primal sort of rage that overcomes you the longer it goes on. Shoutsoff does that, basically.
