Chewett

Since Nov Grido and I have been planning a new LHO system to introduce them. This will include a guide, and some basic questions and answers, including a mentor system for new LHO's. The process would be that, when a new LHO is appointed they will be assigned a mentor. This will be the person that will look after them and someone who they can go to about everything. It would be expected they talk to their mentor weekly or so and report back many of the things they are asked and any problems. This would keep a new LHO held nicely above the water. What content do you think should be in this new guide? Do you have any other comments about the process?

A number of people have raised concerns about rules applying to LHO's, lets dig further! There are a number of LHO rules meaning that they get harsher punishments for doing bad things. For any rule that people think is bad or needs changing please post it here and we can discuss it and hopefully make the system better!

Ask Koshu, I think Mur and I have replied to all the questions.

This is why you ask questions, through Koshu.

The majority of that we have access to freely. Please ensure you have read the topic throughly, we are looking for people to document the technical aspects. E.g. instead of giving us a list of creature names and their stats (something we can get from the db in one query) we want stuff like a list of the abilities and how each ability works. How you can add more abilities/creatures into the game etc.

While guesses about how the system works are amusing, they are in the end pretty futile and can end up spreading misinformation. So personally I would discourage guessing and telling people these guesses. Simply put, when the system was set up (PC - Pre-Chew) the tradelogs were stored with the items and means that on using these tradelogs are lost. There is a plan for a system which would change this, and make the tradelogs much more useful (and less likely to break) but this involves converting over a large amount of data, or writing a hack between the current systems. So its all planned out, I just havent decided when I will eventually implement it. Since there are a lot of things vying for my time I dont know when this will get done, but its all planned out and noted down. So, it works like that yes, its not that great, but thats how it is.

I didnt say "they are coded differently but should be coded the same" I said specifically, "they use exactly the same mechanism so should act exactly the same". They should probably stack. But that code needs some changes since it works really oddly.

Iv no clue what this means...

Both of them use the same "method" to reduce the timer, so both should act similar. I think thats because when you "come back" it calculates all the stuff you should have gotten while you were away. But it doesnt remember that you had X effect.

No visc changes will be made for this festival. Visc is now currently mainly a negative force on AP (it makes it lower, negative as in the number, not the feeling) and I dont see the 20 additional AP it can cause problematic. People complained last festival about it and I see no major compelling reasons to do so. Since then we have had the reduction in the max AP damage it can cause and the cartography skill to reduce AP requirements even more. Thanks to no one for pointing out the changes since last festival, for me to steal and summarize.

Its also considered bad luck to post happy birthday before the offical (aka servertime) birthday! Please remember this people (unless you want to give bad luck BOO!) Happy Birthday Murry :)

Sign up early, teams will be given specific instructions of a number of things to prepare in advance.

Chewett Trivia is best trivia! Saturday 18th, April, 14:00 I will be hosting a trivia session, with a twist. For part of the trivia you will need to be in pairs. Find a partner! Please list your partner on this thread. If someone cant make it and want to, mention, we have the whole day so I could shift it around :) BIG PRIZES More details, including confirmation of the time will be announced nearer to the event. Consider these provisional for now.

Its probably better to give it to others. Im sure he is recieving payment.

All role items :D

Neno Veliki is apparently drawing all these images. IaB give him all the silver :P

The one who draws the images will also get repayment from us :)

Im working on combat right now as a note :) Im not sure if this got announced but its been discussed in chat quite a bit at GoE

We still have a number of people who have not confirmed their days. If you have not been added into calender Admin PM please re-contact both of us so we can discuss with you.

There are a large number of daily attacks on the website trying to access the server and use it for nefarious purposes specifically from that IP range. It is causing us some issues. This is a drastic measure. In actuality, the message I received from Mur said he was blocking the access to our server, and I dont believe that will affect the access to the game, etc. I will contact him. This is complete rubbish. Please do not make guesses like this.

So, as bored points out, the image needs to be 140x140px

I would further question what is being clogged up, There is no technical issue with adding more creatures.

Ideally you get someone to design the big one, scale it down, then get a pixel artist to alter the small one. Currently we dont do this, but we could make the small alliance images look so much better if this practice was done.

WP's shouldnt be hard to get for your or any quest, just ask TK, or me. No one seems to do this though so... They arnt given out... Why do you care so much about these collectables? They are just that. Why should they be discontinued? I dont see any reason... I really like them, they look cool.

No WP's, you should not be able to buy them. Rare creatures, 1 ticket per rare unreleased creature. All tickets should be "flair" items, that have no impact on the game.
