It would be absolutely lovely if successfully dodging an attack prevented any accompanying afflictions from sticking, as well. Ablaze and freezing from Spellshapers, and blackout from villagers, just as examples.

Gwenith · July 2014

I would like if you could differentiate between your own attacks and other peoples attacks with a different colours. I know it would be pretty easy to write a script but.. meh. We're allowed to dream here right?

Definitely check out GMCP CombatMessages. They're not something many people have experimented with, and we frankly have a ways to go on the conversion side of things, but the end goal is to give you really simple flexibility with things like this. Something like 5 lines of code could do what you're asking for.

Ishin · July 2014

@Oleis - I use the CombatMessages. I had thought I wouldn't like them when I first heard what they did, but in reality they're really pretty handy and simplify things a lot.

Yep! For most clients, the GMCP is getting parsed no matter what. Might as well shut off the full message and choose how to display it with your scripting vs. trying to capture, gag, modify, replace, etc. Glad you like!

Gwenith · July 2014

I have to learn to gMCP?

Zsadist · July 2014

GMCP isn't that difficult. Its hard to learn but its fairly simple. I rather enjoy using it when I need to check something

Reux · July 2014

There's nothing to learn with GMCP really. The only thing difference between it and any other line you receive is that it's difficult and impractical to try to base an act off when you receive GMCP information - should only use GMCP to gather info, and pull info from that collection when you want it.

Zsadist · July 2014

Here's another idea. I like the idea of the cloaking gem artifact hiding you on QWHO, but if you have the gem yourself, that (like 2 people having hood) should bypass the cloaking mechanic and thusly you would be able to see all gem-cloaked members on QWHO.

Just a thought.

Haven · July 2014

@Zsadist: Nooooooooooooooooooooo9oooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

That effect devalues the artifact with each purchase. The day everyone buys a hood artifact (lol yeah right) is the day the artifact ceases to be useful at all. That artifact really needs changing or more preferably die.

Erzsebet · July 2014

Especially given how common the gem of cloaking can be. I have two or three on assorted alts that I got via giftbags or lotteries or whatever else.

Areka · July 2014

I would love it if the hood/elusion had its own key word that would toggle it on or off, that way I can wear it and still see other people with it, but not be hidden myself.

Rashar · July 2014

I second that.

It's very very rare that I want to be hidden. I mostly bought the hood to find hidden people.

Toz · July 2014

Trigger: You are now wearing a veiled hood of elusion.

send("remove hood")
disableTrigger("Hoodie")

On all farsee/scry/whatever aliases, I do this:
sendAll("wear hood", "farsee "..matches[2])
enableTrigger("Hoodie")
if hoodTrigKillTimer then killTimer(hoodTrigKillTimer) end
hoodTrigKillTimer = tempTimer(.5, [[killTrigger("Hoodie")]])

Manually put the hood on for group fights etc. and remove afterwards, this trigger won't bother manual wearing.

Areka · July 2014

Areka is here, furiously whipping her cloak on and off as she squints into the air, mumbling beneath her breath.

I get yelled at to shroud, during RP events. LOOK MA I GOT A HOOD I'M GONNA WEAR EVERY 2-4 SECONDS.

Nalor · July 2014

When sipping frost it gives us the Temperance defence.

You have gained the temperance defence.

When in Daru. If we track skills upkeep from GMCP the 'temperance' skill interfers with

Usage: EVOKE TEMPERANCE
Using the strength of your Inner Spark, you temper your body against
physical damage.

MY question is, Can we change one of the names? So when upkeeping them on defenses neither of them interfer? Granted the evoke one doesnt have a You have gained x defence but when tracking from gmcp, it tracks as temperance too.

@Oleis or @Razmael‌

Melantha · July 2014

Can the auto-stand toggle in FirstAid be tweaked to account for Kipup? Would actually make bashing viable on mobile, which would be greatly appreciated.

Moirean · July 2014

Any chance we can get a way to view the PREVIOUS quota's contributions? Because of how turnins work - the new quota immediately becomes active - it's impossible to see who did what unless you're the one doing the turnin. It would be nice to be able to reward people for quota stuff, but it's a real headache with the current contributions display.

Rashar · July 2014

Mists are a bitch to reward, man. I'm with some of the other leaders who've stated that the system rewards itself via tokens and gold.

Moirean · July 2014

Yeah, I don't give rewards because ugh. But if we could just do something like QUOTA LAST and it showed the tallies for the previous quota's turnins, it'd be a lot easier.

Gwenith · July 2014

Make lit hookahs last so much longer! AT the moment its only a couple of minutes, should be at least 20 minutes.

Solaria · July 2014

It would be nice to be able to see your designs still after you give up a craft. I'd have loved to renew some of them, and then share them with people who could make them. I can see them expire, but can't see which ones did.

Moirean · July 2014

Why would you ever give up a craft??!?!?!

Jensen · July 2014

I gave up forging for reanimation

When you've switched classes/sides enough, it happens. It's not a favorite choice, but priorities and such.

Moirean · July 2014

For the spar breakdown in COMBAT STATUS show what class each person was in.

Add in a SECT STATUS for sect arena duels.

Ashmer · July 2014

Could we have weapons like Luminary's mace and Indorani dagger actually be referred to in II and IH as "bonedagger" or "spiritmace," to differentiate them from "dagger" and "mace?" I'm asking this considering the very very specific uses these two weapons have.

Tentatively changed the template to do this. The latter may cause some weird messages (but bonedagger is appropriate either way). We'll just have to keep an eye on it.
