Random Tiny CODE Wants

[Bilanthri]

Pshaw...block is already weaksauce. It seriously does not need to be nerfed.

Hmm...I must be missing something. As far as I've seen, shields are rock-solid.

However, there does seem to be an overwhelming number of people who want to play the whirling blade-storm; a fact the crack in my shield can attest to.

[Sephiroto]

I've seen two warriors go at it sword & board and be pretty matched, only to have one of the warriors drop his shield and change to etwo style and kick the shit out of the shield user.  I guess it really depends on a lot of things.  I've seen no reason to change shield skills.  I certainly don't want to see them lowered, that's for sure!

[perfecto]

I purpously "gave" my key to the key-holder of my building as I said my final goodbyes. (this was -after- my rent was overdue)

So now when I try to leave they ask me for my key... and when I try to go back in they tell me I don't rent an appartment here.

I suggest you make all the "renters" non-acceptant.  Don't let us give them anything; and this wont be a problem for anyone else.

Timer that lowers the probability of blocking after a succesful block.  Just enough to give dual wielders a little advantage in overwhelming someone with high block skill.

Strike from two places at once.

I think that if you find fighting someone with a shield to difficult, you rethink your own strategy as oppose to looking for a change in code to fit your frustration.

Also, it also depends of proficiency with a weapon/fighting style.

Trust me, you'll notice a big difference in a Master Shield Use Vs. Master Dual Wield but if your dual wielder is below advanced dual wield vs. master shield use, chances are - You're going to see a good deal of your attacks blocked but also keep in mind you're 2 weapons vs. their 1 - So you have a greater chance to actually strike and/or parry them.

Dear Staff....

STOP WITH THE BLINDING SANDSTORMS ALL NIGHT EVERY NIGHT
I really want to have a chance to mug other PCs in that tiny window of opportunity.

   Yours truly, Qzzrbl

[MeTekillot]

Qzzrbl, there's about one night every 15 or so days that isn't a blinding sandstorm, when the moons are out.

[Nyr]

Weather is different in each part of the world.  Can you be more specific, or was that hyperbole intended to just be venting?

[Synthesis]

Nah, it's almost always storming at night in Allanak.  It's not pitch blackness, but it's dark enough that you can't see people enter and/or leave.

Although...I wonder if the 'watch' command would allow you to at least see figures moving toward your location?

[Scarecrow]

Also, as of this moment in Zalanthas, the greatest warrior in the known uses dual swords, not a sword and shield.
I've had a master shield character, they can deflect and block a lot, but also suffer in attack power. Keep in mind also a master dual wield master parry warrior would be parrying like all hell, and might not even need a shield.
Dat's what I think, anyways.

[MeTekillot]

How do you know who the greatest warrior in the Known is, Scarecrow?

Shields are rad. So rad that I think subguild guard is one of the best subguilds.

I disagree about just who's the Biggest Baddest Melee PC right now, but that's not a kosher avenue for discussion. Let's move on.

Erm, yeah....

It's Allanak.

Like clockwork, every time, BLINDINGSANDSTORMLOL from Late Night through Before Dawn.

[Clavis]

He will be the best until someone knocks him off his pedastal.

One word Luirs

[jstorrie]

Welcome to the city of Allanak! I hope you brought desert navigation.

[Nyr]

Ok.  I can look into Allanaki sandstorms.  I wouldn't say you can't mug people because your PC can't navigate or can't see at night in the city, though.

[Qzzrbl]

Ok.  I can look into Allanaki sandstorms.

Cool, thanks.

[Malifaxis]

Unfortunately, Nyr didn't tell you that most everyone's sandstorm dials go up to 10, and they're all set to 8 or 9 right now.

Nyr's, however, goes up to 11.

And that's what he's turning it to, now that you've gotten him to look at the problem.

A Whirling, Maddening Sandstorm of Unknown Force
   You can't see anything here, because your eyes have already been ripped from your sockets.
   You feel your bones getting rapidly exposed to open air and sand.  Then the pain sets in.

Your world goes black.

You think:  Mommy.

How do you know who the greatest warrior in the Known is, Scarecrow?

One word Luirs

Yes, because, as we all know, no player ever misses an RPT put on that dusty little burg.

I thought he meant Luirs was the greatest warrior in the Known.

[Scarecrow]

I ain't gonna say it, but everyone not two hours old and been living under the Silt Sea knows who I'm talking about. I would also suggest  anyone who disputes otherwise to step up and challenge him, I think you'd get smacked down, and hard.
Just my opinion.

[Gunnerblaster]

Enough IC penis measuring.

"Greatest warrior" is all perspective. Just because someone's tough shit in melee doesn't mean they won't go down like a heavy sack of shit after some poisoned arrows punches a hole through their neck.

[lordcooper]

My character has the biggest penis.

Seriously, I had to spec app for this.

Wouldn't that be Bestest Archer of All Time, instead of Greatest Warrior, though?
