  3. Public Altcheck Request

    in General Forum

    Posted

    Evening all,

    I like to keep an eye on things in the game, especially now that some better players than me unfortunately don't have the time to play MD as actively as me. In the past I've raised concerns about alt abuse, for example what was dubbed "triangle trading" - where you use an intermediary to either transfer items to your alts or otherwise using alts to benefit your main - think using them to win a quest for someone else and have the winner transfer a cut/fee to your main.

    I usually raise these privately but I've decided to raise this one publicly as I feel there are a few people skirting a bit too close to the margins for my liking - and they keep doing it, despite the consequences I have personally tried to heap on them over the last few years.

    I believe Aamon is an alt of a player involved in this series of trades, with the spellstones (screenshots attached). Therefore, I am asking for a GM to run an altcheck - I hope I am wrong and I look like an absolute plum, but I have a gut feeling on this one.

    Most importantly, I feel that Confused Santa is not giving us presents becuase there are naughty players around. I saw this and this looks very naughty. If we punish this maybe we will get our presents.

  13. Christmas Tree presents review

    I would definitely tweak the creatures that are given out from it - removing most of the current B&W ones (except the Drach and Scout) - maybe improving the odds of premium crits and adding buildable or generally rarer B&W crits to the pool.

    Crit slots are tidy, even if just a few every year.

    Some common RP items, limited to a pool of "usable" ones, so ones needed for the toy chest etc.

    PS: It should give out an achievement, like the Anni ones we had before - or maybe a collectible coin/ornament etc. instead.

    Ah so the quest was just to complete Exuberant Youth! Makes sense now, I never was good at reading comprehension...

    The issue I have is:

    • My scrapbook was not empty when I last checked
    • It is now
    • It still is
    • I apparently cannot jot down any images in my scrapbook as I have no spare magic paper

    PS: Looking forward to completing this one, I now require many, many WP's ;)

    Just want to make sure I am not being daft, but previously I've been stuck on the second book thawing, figured it was me so left it for a while.

    I've come back to it now and even though my scrapbook is empty I can't fill it, as I don't have any space.

    Is anybody else getting any sort of issue? I did try the key reset on all my images, but that doesn't seem to have done anything.

    What steps exactly are you taking?

    Have you

    Spoiler

    placed 10 Marigold Nectar in the crypt, waited a few days, and received Fermented Marigold Nectar?

    From your post it looks like you are but I can't see you getting that item in the MDA logs, but I have no idea if it would show up there.

    If you don't have the item in your inventory, I don't think the bees work.

  24. MP6 "The Protector Stage"

    Not easy in the eyes of a newbie.  Without lifesteal, and with GWI citizen defenses, it takes a long time to get to 380,000 heat scars-- thousands of battles (x2 worrying about balance), which for a new player, is discouraging.

    {But not relevant to this thread.  Sorry.}

    I'll be honest that is somewhat surprising as I was able to get a new account to MP4 in a few hours of playtime without leaving GWI not so long ago. No lifesteal either!

    It used to take a few weeks to advance to MP4, there should be no need for people to rush through the game...

  25. MP6 "The Protector Stage"

    in New Ideas

    Posted

    An interesting topic, it probably was a good idea to split from the old one as it attracted a lot of negativity for some reason!

    It took me a few hours but I've now read the post, here is my feedback on your proposals.

    Spoiler

    HEAT

    Currently the heat system with mp6 is complete chaos. I've had some worshipers pray heat so fast and so much I couldn't use it all near enough. I purpose a suggestion that a player named Else stated here in another topic I am involved with concerning MP6

    👇

    https://forum.magicduel.com/topic/22855-various-complaints-personal-comments-about-ledah-and-blackshade-rider/?do=findComment&comment=197671

    I think what Else purposed in this other MP6 topic is a great idea to the mp6 system. Some way for a protector to store and use the heat prayed to them for a later use when needed. 

    I am not a fan of allowing MP6 to store up infinite amounts of heat. There are quite a few items and other mechanics in the realm that have been balanced around players only being able to hold around 4000 at once - you also already have Erolin devices. I'm also curious as to how it would actually work - would they only have 4000 effective heat for things like combat rewards? If you have so many people actively worshipping you and each spell costs 500 heat to cast you can already cast 8 spells - is it such a problem if some heat is nominally wasted? I just can't understand the purpose behind the change.

    Spoiler

    IN this we could also add a system for the worshipers based on another one of Else's suggestions of ( tele to prot, chase prot ect)

    A worshiper that is loyal should be rewarded from time to time yes? Maybe if we have said spells worshipers can learn as temp spells non Regen (without a protector) non stoneable as only gives 2-3 casts..

    An example would be .... If said worshiper prays 25k heat to their protector them they unlock a said temp spell such as "tele to prot". A spell such as this only useable on one's self and would tele them to their protector. 

    The more this loyal worshiper prays the more different spells they can learn to help them maybe "better help their protector" or maybe some small weak spells that can help themselves in a sticky situation if their protector is not online. 

    This is actually interesting. I'm not a particular fan of teleport spells in general, I think a few years back - or maybe even a decade ago, there was some serious talk about removing them but rewards for worshippers performing is something I can get behind.

    Spoiler

    Attacking

    Mp6 currently can only attack and be attacked if you are in an alliance. I feel this should be changed as MP6 as a Protector can't help some people due to this. Such as MP3 and MP4 and mp5 of no alliance. While yes we have some players who keep alts on hand to try and help, this can help take a small burden off them if we allow mp6 to be attacked by all MP lvls and not have to be in an alliance. This can also help the worshipers a protector may have that are mp3 or mp4 to train and make it to mp5. 

    I am unsure if I can say the heat scar requirements to surpass mp6 but know it is very high up there.  I feel mp6 should be able to have this ability both perm mp6 and temp mp6s

    No.

    For one, combat is not all there is to MD. I understand and have no issue with people helping others raise their Mindpower level, but it should not be done via MP7 or anything like that. The ability to attack MP3 freely has been abused before by people who are trying to help - themselves in that case. As it is, players can easily get to MP4 currently and if they wish to join an alliance can go down that path.
