The MoM

second image? there's no player name... none I can see at least...

here's from the battle log : [attachment=4094:1.png] and here's my creature list : [attachment=4095:2.png] title says it all. I know that it's not that important or something, but still there has to be something wrong for that to happen, maybe it'll lead to something more major? also, I searched beforehand, found nothing...

technically, you missed it, but due to the.. very few people who did come (less MP3s and more non-MP3s) I believe we'll do it again sometime soon... for any MP3 who still wishes to go, pm me in forum or comment, and once we're a good number, I'll open a chat b/w us, and we'll see when's the best time to go...

alright, thanks Chewy, you can close this post...

Okay mainly this will be my 'refelection' or sorts on this, but I will add ideas in the end, and I want anyone who agrees/disagrees/has something to say to discuss it as well. I know that it'll probably never be implemented, whether it's good or bad, but I've had it on my mind, and want to discuss... Also, all suggestions I'm making are not because I feel it would make the game better, but rather, it'd make it more... logical and less 'game-like'... [u]Definitions :[/u] [list] [*]vital energy : it is your essence, your power, your energy, your... health? [*]value points : this, I can't get. If it is some type of currency, why does it regenerate with time? my closest guess is that it is a value that shows what you are worth... [*]action points : the ability to do an action [*]exploration points : the ability to see or understand something new and explore. [/list] [u]Reflection :[/u] [list=1] [*]ve and ap... It just doesn't make sense sometimes, to have a person full or energy and power and health... unable to move. The only case I can think of that is like that in real life is a disabled person, but then, how does he suddenly gain the ability to move and then loses it in about 10 minutes? if he really wanted to go somewhere, he could have probably crawled there, using his 'power' and depleting his 'energy', so here comes suggestion 1 : if, when a person loses all AP, but still wants to/has to move, he can, but each AP he replaces will be replaced by about 2% of his max ve (maybe..) [*]ap and ve... Something else makes no sense, if you have no energy at all, and are beat, your essence is depleted, how can you move? Idea : when a person is below a certain level of ve, each move he makes will cost double or triple AP (because he's tired and it's harder to move) and something about sanctuaries (just a random though) when a person reaches there, he becomes relieved... so if he has less ve than the safe level, he WON'T want to leave, but will be relieved. In game interpretation : lose all ap but gain some percentage of ve... [*]an issue of balance... and mainly here it's between ve and vp. I don't think I'm the only one who often runs with full vp but no ve, and also, suppose your vp ran out. You won't care much, it'll regenerate, and you don't NEED it. Now, suppose your ap or your ve ran out. Much bigger problem, right? I don't really know what can be done to fix the balance issue, maybe something like trade all your vp for a small boost of ap or ve (non-permanent and resets at timer) or anything else... [*]as I have not gone into the details of MD, I'm not sure how useful/useless ep becomes later on, but if it becomes void (almost only being used for creatures) I think it needs to be fixed also... [/list] All comments are appreciated. Try not to mock, please.

ofcourse Nava, that would be a lot of help... I even wanted to ask someone to be our tour guide, but didn't know who (from those coming with us) would be the most fit for it

for all of who want to go with us, how does tomorrow 2pm ST sound?

okay, the sword kinda makes sense, but what about armor? you can't 'misuse' armor, it's there are it protects you, it should increase your defense, not decrease it... right?

okay then, I'll try to make a list of bad reviews, and post it here. Or should I just PM them to someone?

in bad, I don't mean horrible, and in reality, BFH, eventhough it might be none of my business, there's really nothing we can do to appease these people but ruin the game... they don't like the game because of it's 'filters' '... didn't understand the battle system... ' '... didn't understand what I was supposed to do... ' the problem is that the readers will be... reluctant to join, eventhough MD is no place for the reviewer... so, how are we going to fix that?

For all MP3s who haven't been to the MDA (it's beyond the gate if you keep heading North from Wind's crossing) then this is your chance to visit another land (it should be your 3rd) in addition to : 1. getting your papers (hate list, personal papers) 2. getting to meet Awiiya 2. getting to see the MDA and the 4 gazebos 3. getting to unlock something (I won't spoil ^^) The problem is the 200AP cost for passing the gate + the high viscosity, so here's what we're going to do: we're going to gather as much of us as possible to lower viscosity, and we're going to solve some of Fyrd's quests for spicy pickles. That + voting = enough for the trip... Note for non-MP3s : you can also join us (it'd be better if you do --> lower viscosity) it'd be a lot of help for 'us' new kids optimally, I want 15 to come, ... anymore than 10 and we'll continue, any less... well it depends then first time around [spoiler] Time : Sometime this week List Of Attending (comment so I can add you) [7/10] : Master Of Mar Oqaab DARK DEMON Eara Magistra Vicious Chaossword The Warrior Plix Plox Generous Madmen **special thanks for DARK DEMON for doing a lot of the recruiting** **special thanks to Fyrd for offering pickles to pass through the gate** [/spoiler] second time : this time, I will only add MP3s to the list, eventhough higher levels can and are encouraged to come along. List (2 so far) : Oqaab Vicious chaossword

exactly (the removal of the arrow untill continue is pressed twice) I know that it's not a major bug as some exploits, and perhaps not as important to be solved asap, but I thought it would be good to let you guys know about it... anyway, that's about it, this thread has served it's purpose (ie, you mods now know) so I guess it can be closed, unless you see it fit to remain open

my old account is as good as dead because I didn't heed one simple rule everyone always says... "don't rush things" it gave me valuable knowledge that I will now use, but as a single entity, it is a beast which is useless =/

what happened was exactly what Maebius said... for 'vets' it's no prob, they know their way, but for a new player he might think 'oh, but here is my threat? what's happening... meh this game is stupid' and quit etc... by the way Maebius, I want to talk to you if I can (pm)

hello Eara, and welcome to magic duel ! Mur doesn't feed us here, so your food might be our only way of surviving! Thank you so much for coming :'(

if after you get your creatures, you DON'T go to the scroll, and simply go back to 'deal with the monster' he still says 'you don't think you can defeat me without an army' and then, after you go to the scroll, and click continue twice, the 'deal with the threats you encountered on your way' objective shows up, the monster STILL says the same message. Now, I know this isn't a big deal, but imagine what the new players would think? it is kinda confusing if you didn't know that there were shades you had to fight on old man's road and the rest....

Okay first thing first : I'm MoM (obviously) and since I've been gone for quite some time, and since I forgot near to EVERYTHING, I'm starting anew which is why... my old account has 2-3 angiens and a gold or so, sine I can't take them (no switching creatures b/w accounts right?) I want to offer them as quest rewards for anyone who wants to make a quest but there's a catch, the quest can only be for new players, and here's why : I was looking around and found some MD reviews, a lot were bad, ofcourse, the reason they were bad was because they didn't get the mechanics, thought it took forever to do things etc... now i know that we don't want people like that in MD, but the readers, who might be MD-material, will be scared off... so any noob quest can have my items/creatures as a reward. Now for the question : before I left (and I mean exactly before I left) I had won a creature from someone on a quest. I didn't collect the creature at that time, can I take it now, but for this character rather than for my old one which I won it in :S? I'd just like to know so that I don't break the rules. PS : It feels good to be back =)
