Random Tiny CODE Wants

[Goldberry]

Poison evens the odds.  I like this.

[Synthesis]

Meh, I think poisons have gotten a little out of hand lately, thanks to the pretty easy availability of the more dangerous sorts.

[Sephiroto]

Cures are more easily attainable too.

[Wolfsong]

"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.

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

Winner gets to call himself whatever the hell he damn well pleases.

Quit the derailing. You guys are making this thread useless for its intended purpose. Also, arguments about who are the "greatest" are just dumb and pointless, because you don't actually know. And those of us who could look at stats and skills to figure it out don't care. So knock it off.

I wish all sparring weapons were bludgeoning weapons (but still used/trained the appropriate skill).  Or I wish there was some other way to make them not get bloodied or bloody your opponent's armor.  I understand that Zalanthan sparring is rough and breaking the skin wouldn't be uncommon, but I think the "bloodied" equipment tag really is just for serious, real wounds.

5. Deliberately derailing a thread (posting nonsense, disrupting the topic etc) will be treated as trolling.  Idle commentary and discussion that is off topic belongs in the OOC topic forum.

While I wouldn't push to ban people for the typical 7 day period for this in a lot of cases, I will if you do it directly after a staff member requests that people not derail a thread.  Please keep this thread relevant by keeping it limited to code discussion of random things you'd like to see implemented.

[Malifaxis]

I'd like to see it done so that if you 'behead' someone, you can then 'skin' the head to get a skull of that race.

That'd be damn nice.  It'd also make it a bit easier to return a head for a bounty when the bounty-payer isn't online.

Damn.  Nice.

[BleakOne]

I'd like it if more herb shops sold (and bought) cures.

[Synthesis]

I'd like it if more herb shops sold (and bought) cures.

I think most of them do buy them.  The problem is, they pay so little for them that it isn't cost-effective for PCs to sell the cures, because in most cases you can sell the raw herbs the cures are made from for more than the cure itself.  Ergo, nobody sells them to the shops.

Simple fix would be to adjust the value of cures upward.  Of course, then you'd have to pay more to buy them, but I think I'd rather have something expensive and available than not available at all.

On the other hand, it may be by design that the staff don't want cures easily available, since it would render most poisons useless, other than for killing NPCs.  On the other hand, it's always been pretty easy to get cures from other PCs.

I don't think staff would think with this approach, and I also don't think that having cures widely available in NPC shops will render most poisons useless. What makes poisons effective is that they're delivered by surprise and in a way to where having a cure is practically useless, anyways.

Heh, yeah....

I've had it happen a couple of times where I died to poisons that I had a pocket full of cures for, because I was stuck in, "Oh shit, I've gotta get away, wait, fuck, where'd I put those cures?!" mode.

Same with corpses, plz....

It's a bitch to get a newb head collection when they disappear every time I log out....

I really need to get an apartment one of these days. >~<

I'm pretty sure heads disappear on reboots anyway, so an apartment wouldn't solve your collection problem.

Well fuck!

[X-D]

There is a way to collect heads though and not have them go away:)

My random want, Blood trails to be vis without using the hunt skill.

[Synthesis]

Visible blood trails would pile on yet another pretty large risk, predominantly on newbie characters who are a) less likely to be in a clan, b) less likely to be able to afford an apartment, c) more likely to get fucked up in the first place, d) less likely to be able to bandage themselves effectively.

There are plenty of ways to die, already.  I'd rather not add "every curious passerby" to the list.

This reminds me of the Sims. 
...And, I think most of my characters would be anorexic since I ignore being hungry so often to maintain continuity. o_o

[Gunnerblaster]

If you have the hunt skill, I'd like to automatically see trails of blood in a room, ie: a trail of blood leads to the east/west/south/north.
