[quote name='Pipstickz' date='06 June 2010 - 03:20 AM' timestamp='1275790814' post='61105'] a) There are already a limited number of people to fight; perhaps it should only be active on certain days? b) What if you have high stats, but don't know how to fight very well, or don't have certain creatures? c) What if you have high stats, but use 0% slider? d) What about scaling for different MP levels? Strong in MP3 is very different from strong in MP5. [/quote] A) Now that would be an intresting idea, i would like this. B) surely that should be your own fault? since the system should be based on strategy and learning. C) That will mean tokens are fully active, and i think these should probably be scaled down also, since they are a major part of combat (to the point of people being able to kill without stats) D) either have different bands between the mindpowers, or make it a graduated band system, you slowly get a larger letter. [quote name='Laphers' date='06 June 2010 - 05:31 AM' timestamp='1275798698' post='61112'] Just a thought but what would happen if the relevant stats were divided by the active day count? Those who are active fighting/grinding will still be stronger than someone who doesn't fight a lot but it will mean that length of time in game will not mean that someone who is brand new can't stand a chance against the veterans. It also allows more focus on learning how to build rituals properly. As I said, this is just a thought based on reading the above conversations but I thought I'd throw it out there to let people think about it and respond. [/quote] Since people who are younger will have less of a cap, This will only effect people who are stronger at lower Active days, So in effect this will only help the Grinders who managed to train up really strong characters really quickly. I doubt this idea will be as useful since the grinders will have the benefit.

any specfic page? The login page doesnt have anything dogey loading from it, from what i can see.

What about tokens? because they can booast a normal persons stats, into massively stronger. And also, what happens if someone have a massively high stat? will that mean he is in one of the higher bands? I like the idea, im just trying to think about how it will work overall

[quote name='aaront222' date='05 June 2010 - 07:05 PM' timestamp='1275761137' post='61092'] Another recurring problem seems to be that the Vets are CRUSHING any new mp5. (this is an idea that will require lots of changes) Mp2,Mp3,Mp4,Mp5 stay the same. Then Mp6 becomes not protector but another fighting stage, Mp7 becomes what is now Mp6, and so forth. I understand you think the idea stated above is very dumb. It's acutally smart just hard to do.m It will allow the community to combatatively spearated enough so that the new Mp5 can survive and the Vets can fight vets and not PUMMEL the new Mp5 giving them little chance of gaining Vet-like power. If this post is quoted please quote all of it because if you chop it up the wrong ideas will come across. [/quote] What about the exp limits? if your new mp6 is the only limitless one then people will just get stuck on mp6. Your "help" does not change anything, it will only make a few more problems, let alone solve them. there are not enough players, to split players up so that there are even fewer is a hideous idea.

I suppose no one else is doing this, I dont really care about the contest but will be planting one sometime around September since that is one of the best times to plant trees (more of a reminder for me)

Everyone that has applied, please be patient while the final load of infomation is being written and affirmed. Iv been busy so it will take another week at max hopefully. Since it is a rather full on process, i will be doing 3 at a time, So some will have to wait your time. Thanks! Chewett

aha, i wondered what that trigger did...

[2009-12-25 12:58:03 - Alpha 9] Creatures with zero stats (or in rare cases missing pictures) are not yet released. That means, if you have such a creature, they are for collection only, untill they get officialy released and recruitable in a place on the map, then they will have updated stats and abilities. Their future power, abilities or rarity is undefined yet, thats the risk of trading such rare things. At this moment however they are rare and they will gather age starting the moment you got them.

GGG is sustained by two drasticly different parties, One group who protect GGG and one who dont come and destroy it. I see some of your points very well, i agree that 5k attk on mp3/4's is wrong, So i do suggest that like burns you come talk to us, protest by being unset or do what you wish. But the argument that some of you decided to have last night was both pointless and pointless (yes pointless squared). All it facilitated for people to get angry and attack each other, And since we are all a small community i dont think this is good for MD. It seems the main concerns is that: A) noobs are learning it as a way of playing MD - This can be fixed, i have asked everyone NOT to post stuff on the mood panel about it B) people are training massively overpowered MAIN accounts for mp3/4 - I cannot answer for everyone, but i dislike this and agree it is hurting MD, perhaps it needs to be limited for mp3/4 or totally removed C) people are not fighting properly - If the GGG was changed so that people were to use it to train certain creatures up or something, or to shut GGG down a couple times a week then people would also move around much more. I Think this would be a good solution but again, this is only my personal opinion. I am open to suggestions about what people think, i would like them, If the community wants GGG to change it will, since its a community project. But just running into GGG, attacking everyone, will just make both parties angry. Anyone can be a redneck and come in and attack everyone, but it takes someone with more intelligence to come and talk it out.

[quote name='Pipstickz' date='04 June 2010 - 03:41 AM' timestamp='1275619313' post='60943'] New MP5 -> Average MP5 -> Veteran MP5Group A of New MP5s come in, and get beaten up for a while by the older MP5. Then Group B of New MP5 come in, which pushes Group A into the "average" slot, because they now have someone to attack. The cycle continues.Sanctuaries are there for a reason as well. How many people do you think actually USE sanctuaries? Why SHOULD anybody use them when they could be at GGG farming wins instead of just sitting there waiting for the regen timer?Back when there was no GGG, new MP5s got the hang of defending themselves well enough, but now that there's GGG, again, why should they?You, Poppi, are a perfect example. You've used your privilege to create alts well, because you've had a few, and over time, you've learned quite a bit, right? Does it really matter if you can't beat a few vets? Avoid them. It's not hard. At worst, you get a few losses and have to wait for regen, or use free credits, or ask your protector for a heal. [/quote] Its not that simple, at all. Age does not convey strength. GGG has helped me get a little stronger as i have been able to actually get wins on my Angiens. i would not have been able to train them elsewhere because my stats are just too low to beat anyone but a new mp5. Fighting would have had a lot less meaning if i had still been THE weakest mp5 around, but thanks to the GGG i have been able to recover from having no stats (the exp allowed amount was much lower back before). GGG has helped me, But i also know it has hurt the game. Surely a midpoint can be found? [quote name='redneck' date='04 June 2010 - 06:10 AM' timestamp='1275628211' post='60957'] you say i have farmed ggg if i have farmed ggg then why do i mnot even have 1k def xD i never farmed GGG [/quote] its most hilarious how redneck is always in GGG farming it, not only the other week did he BEG to be allowed back in so he could train. What a waste of space.

[quote name='Indyra' date='03 June 2010 - 08:34 AM' timestamp='1275550454' post='60852'] Would one of the moderators delete all off topic posts please [/quote] Yes My lord, i will do what you command If Tarq wants my posts removed he can ask us, and im sure it will be a lot nicer.

Better in public eh? its not as if everyone already knows that GOE is a public location and you can do what you want. Argos, No matter your good intention, the issue with you trying to do all these movements and such is that you dont really have a good grasp of the situation. You know generally some things, but people will not all come to fight in one location. Unless there is a good reason for them to come, they wont because most people are scared of losing fights.

I said this last time, It was the same when i won the HC. Excuse me, but ME one of the weakest players in MD managed to WIN hc. As i said before, HC for Mp5 is now a farce, Mur has done a bit to make it every 2 months, But its still going to be like this at mp5 each time it comes around... Something needs to be done so it encourages more people.

Fenrir and Watcher, Are you that childish to -rep someone for posting an offer! you should be ashamed.

That is because we DELETE your posts as they are usually spam, After checking the Trash can i notice 4 posts that are pure rubbish, For example in the Market section you posted "what does WTB mean???" on a topic, If you had read the "Welcome To The Central Market - Please Read Before Posting" Topic you would know what that is. However whoever was deleteing your post should be telling you after a couple posts. When posting, before you click post, Please read your post and decide "does this add to the topic? Could i get this infomation from contacting someone? Is this the correct place to post this?"

Topic Closed, Please stay this guideline when posting creatures.

Permanent Stats - If someone has finally managed to get MDscript access, then already they have done enough hard work to attain the whoever many wishpoints to be able to buy it. If anyone wants to influence permanent stats, Then surely they should be allowed to? If they want to abuse the abilities they have worked hard for, then they will be punished accordingly. And once these people have had their access removed, and other such things then surely MDscript is safer as those who abused the script would be banned from it. But then again, it would depend who would be able to check all the logs, if Permanent stats were to be allowed it would need a log and some people looking over it, Say perhaps in the MDA Log room. But then i think perhaps the second point might be better, Tempory Stats - This will be similar to permanent stats, But much less abusable as it would only be tempory, Both stat + and - could be possible so if an item casts a spell it would reduce some stats, Something to balance out the item. But then again, if you had a lot of temporary stats it could be abused so again you would need some people to look after who uses these tempory stats. separate functions - I think this will be needed to normal MDscript clickables are not used for things like an item would be. THis will mean that items are able to do more and more special things, which adds value to them. heat - heat can be gained relatively easy, But then it still needs action to be gained. So i think that things like spells can be used like this, But i think any spells that would be cast from items should be weaker than the normal variants, and require more heat.

With the new rules Mur implemented Cutler has removed the Astral Plain.

Please learn to READ announcements [quote] [2010-05-30 23:30:56 - Stage 10] New shop feature: Creature Sorting Feature A new shop item was added under the extra features section, that will enable you to sort the creatures page based on several things like id, transfer count, experience, creature type and more..

Have a nice birthday Granos, im still hopeing you will come back and cause some oldtime havok again.

It could not easily be automatically coded in because the scenes co ordinates do not match up to orientation, Some scenes are totally wrong orientation wise. Still, it would be a lot of work, and im not sure the benifits would outweigh the amount of work for each scene

You can check the amount of times that a player has visited a location, This can be used to check if a player has visted certain locations if you are showing content that would be a spoiler if the user had not visited the location. This would be needed to comply with the new rules for MDscript. The function is: [code]mds_location_visits('1_0x1_1')[/code] If you assign that function to a variable you can use it to display the amount of visits for example [code] @va = mds_location_visits('1_0x1_1'); echo "Total visits here: " . @va; [/code] you can use any location id in the format as above, but you can also use 'current' to display the visits to the location you are currently in [code] @va = mds_location_visits('current'); echo "Total visits here: " . @va; [/code]

it would be useful for a new player who doesnt know the layout of magicduel, Which would help people to navigate, But for people who have learnt the art of moving, Then it really has no use.

'Register' is spelled 'Regester'.In the won fights and lost fights page, 'too' is written 'to'.You should really fix these things, and for making the game a bit more popular, you gotta do some other things to. [/quote] Spelling is a VERY minor issue, the owner of the game is romanian and his english is VERY good. I would ask you how good your romanian is? Also if you looked in the forum you would see a post i made [quote name='Chewett' date='13 February 2009 - 09:12 AM' timestamp='1234512725' post='25142'] [b]Spelling Yes there are spelling issues. But all the english ones are hardcoded. Meaning only Mur can fix them. So they wont be changed. However if you want to compile a list of spelling errors please do and email it to Mur[/b] [/quote] [quote name='AMLJ' date='29 May 2010 - 07:19 PM' timestamp='1275157199' post='60593'] Get a forum for yourselves, instead of this, a web address like forums.magicduel.com exists, but it is redirected to this place. You should change that. [/quote] Have you any idea about forums? You think that we should make our own forum? This is the offical forum. Please clarify what you mean because what i currently see you saying is stupid. The current system works perfectly well. [quote name='AMLJ' date='29 May 2010 - 07:19 PM' timestamp='1275157199' post='60593'] Also in game development status page, the word 'I' is used, I think you'd better act as a team and not as a single person. [/quote] Thats because up until now it WAS one person making it, Only recently has Mur allowed another to help, So the I is perfeclty correct. [quote name='AMLJ' date='29 May 2010 - 07:19 PM' timestamp='1275157199' post='60593'] And get some more servers, name this server 1 and get some other ones too. [/quote] Again, do you have ANY idea about MD? Why would we need another server? the idea is everyone plays together, This ISNT runescape. [quote name='AMLJ' date='29 May 2010 - 07:19 PM' timestamp='1275157199' post='60593'] *These are my suggestions and I want to know what others will think about them. And I think this way because all popular games I've seen are like this. This is how we'll have more than 10 million people in a game, and here we only got a couple hundred. The game is nice, but things like this make it a bit unpopular* [/quote] I would recommend playing MD a little more before you start giving people advice, MD IS NOT a regular game, its not designed to have 10 million players. Look at runescape, they have however many players but most of them are Assholes.
