Random Tiny CODE Wants

[Synthesis]

Does anyone else find it somewhat odd that lost hitpoints, which represent physical damage to your character, can be recovered while standing...but stamina points, which only represent a little fatigue, must be recovered while sitting or resting?

Really seems like it ought to be the other way around.

[The7DeadlyVenomz]

Absolutely agreed.

That one can not regain stamina while sitting atop a mount, after all, your sitting.

I would really rather not know a certain PC is not my race just by assessing them. I would assume it's rather annoying to play a hidden half elf only to be assaulted by someone who just assessed them.

(In case you don't get what I'm talking about; If they are not the same race as you, the ass -v command will not show "He is younger than you.")

This was fixed a few months ago.
A half elf can now decide at chargen if he wants to look elven, human, or breedish.

Thanks again to the coders?

Noice.

[jstorrie]

Yeah, if they show as non-human they don't intend their PC to look human, so you're in the clear.

I played a half-elf passing as human one time before that switch. He was the darling of Tuluk for a month and starred in a play. One guy tried to pull that ASS -V SAYS UR A BREED shit with me, so I had the Legion murder him.

These days it's all fair.

[KankWhisperer]

I wish you could add people to your bank account like you can add people to your apartment.
They would have unlimited access and Nenyuk not responsible if they rob you. Most people may
never trust someone enough but my character has.

I think it would be cool if you could bury containers in places with solid ground (i.e. not in the air, somewhere with sands which shift too much, ect), and draw maps...

Burglars and scavengers should be better able to read those maps when stolen/found on a dead guy.

I'd say rangers, but rangers already get so much cool shit it's disgusting.

[Jingo]

Rangers and warriors are the dudes that protect the treasure hunter out in the desert.

Or kill him and take the treasure. Because I know someone here will bring it up.

Besides, they don't get the search skill.

[X-D]

I want mercy to be infallible.

It is a RPI let us decide when the mistakes happen.

At least then I can toss in a cool emote or something. It really bugs me, there is no reason why mercy on can't set it so you cannot knock somebody below say -8hp.

I guess mistakes happen, even in real life. I can see your point though.

I want dung mounds to allow brawling in the area.

I've killed PC's I intended to make a nice scene for.. I felt like an ass.

I think this would be the #1 change of the year if it happened, and there have been some damn good changes this year.

Heh, a long time ago, I was playing a d-elf and a sorc came along and [did something nasty that incapacitated me].  He was about to launch into his evil genius MUAHAHA! monologue when a halfling hunter NPC came in and smoked me.  I've always wondered if that guy meant to kill me, or if he was like *facepalm*.

Hahah, I've been in a similar situation.

OOC: ...Dammit...

[X-D]

Thats my thing, I almost always keep mercy on, even if I intend to kill, just so, hopefully we each can get that last emote, think, feel, etc in.

But mercy simply does not work with ranged at all, and the damage in ranged is so variable that it is not possible to be careful in most cases.

Shoot dude west, look west, bleeding heavy, shoot dude west, look west, bleeding heavy, shoot dude west, look west, nothing, w, w, corpse...ooc DAMMIT.

Get up there and stab 'em like a man, X-D. Bows are for elves and sodomites.

Nothing wrong with sodomites.

I hope you're not using sodomite as a placeholder for 'faggot' on the GDB, man. That shit will not fly around these parts.

Yeah, I agree. Mercy should either always or almost always work, or it should be a skill which is fairly easy to train and which at a reasonable level always or almost always works. (I wouldn't mind if you could 'fail a mercy check', and either check your blow too much or too little, once in a while. But not all the time!)

As far as I know, the mercy code is kind of messed up in regards to backstab (and possibly sap), as well. If mercy was more usable with ranged attacks (archery/throw) and 'ambush' attacks (backstab/sap) it might be easier and more fun to play a Zalanthan bounty hunter; I think that's reason enough to put it on the priority list, since bounty hunters are rad as fuck. As it stands, mercy seems to work as intended only when engaging in plain vanilla melee, and how often do you get in plain melee vanilla combat in Armageddon PVP?

[MeTekillot]

I want jstorrie to watch Mr. Woodcock so he'll get my reference.

anyway i'm not welcome in this here discussion since i have literally never PVP'd for reals.
