I'd like to see more achievements.

Maybe for hitting certain level of stats, for visiting certain amount of scenes, for visiting a scene a certain amount of times, ext.

And make them ALL accessible with hard work and determination.

Some, like the Spell Doc one, isn't even possible anymore.

LHO, is not available to 95% of MD.

[s][b]Morph[/b] - 25 GC[/s] (for the record - 18 GC + 10 SC)
[b]Supercharged Heat Stone[/b] - 5 GC
[b]Weaken Stone[/b]

Other offers considered, but please be reasonable.

This may be a radical idea, but perhaps the fact that mps are so strict is a bad thing.

What if you could move up and down in Mps (mostly between mp3 and mp5) freely? What if you could go back down from mp4, just like mp6 and mp5 are a constant balance?

And the mps could factor in recent activity (logging in), fighting/winning, heat, stats, etc. In truth there are mp5s don't deserve to be mp5s given their recent battle history.

Also I would like to see some of the other mps open up (mp2, namely... mp1 should remain as is, for I haven't seen another mp1-esque player).

I think mp2 could be a stage that one gets to simply by giving up their self for good - no creatures or stats or avatars, just illusions.

And yes, the fight system needs a serious reworking. Also the Alliance system - there's a lot of potential that's just not being tapped.

Mur has become inactive. It's time for the players to take some control of the direction. If we get it wrong, then he'll come back and correct us, but some experimentation is better than stagnation.

Awi

I would like to see a revamping of the inventory.

Especially with the images. Perhaps, if the item is useable, allow the items image that appears on the top of the inventory be a link to the item's "Use Item" function?


Edit: I just realised that this is already available... O.o Just never had a picture for an item that has a function until recently... lol

Tom- As BFH mentioned, there is somewhat of a "filter". Magicduel is an experience, and it's really not right for everyone.

Focus: More long-term quests. Ones that require planning, not the 1-day activities (I'm not saying they are bad). Adventures, so to speak. Maybe ones that a group/alliance/land has to complete as a whole. Things that will spark creativity and are open to interpretation.

edit- I came right when the AL ended, so i'm not entirely sure what that would entail

i would personally like to see "everybody can beat anybody" again, cuz atm combat is all about stats

so combat system redesign is wut i say

Work on citizenship, no one can become a member of a land without joining an alliance, and with all these takeovers and tools requiring loyalty its entirely stupid not to have some way of becoming a normal citizen.

aha thank you for clarification then, i retract my statement about TB then. I was under the assumption it was off limits due to its high ap requirement.

soo, do these rules about restricted areas also apply to Eon? Since hes currently going to win the BHC, and his ghost is all over TB, Eon doesn't have to apply himself to the rules??

Well, I didn't know he was in the BHC. And I intend to mess up the BHC for Eon. I'd rather LS or LW or someone else got the SD.

While I do think the quest/challenge has quite some flaws, well... it's not like there's a WP reward in this. If the reward comes out from Seig's own pocket then IMO it's all his right to do whatever he wants with it, including unfair quests/challenges/whatever. If this is a TK quest though, I'd agree that it should be more.. 'fair' to all MD players.

There are several threads concerning BHC currently on these forums. They have some overlap and to make some points in these threads I’m tempted to argument things that’d make them go off topic. In an attempt to avoid this, I have written the following here:

The general consensus appears to be that BHC Is a contest for the ‘elite fighters’ as a display of skill and strength. I’d assume the aim of participants ought to be to win. As a side note I like to think it’s supposed to be fun.

Let’s first have a look at the fighting part. Back in the day having to get a victory was introduced to make it more challenging (Ann. 395). Through time the challenge has become smaller and smaller, angiens, unholy priests and tokens have resulted in the stronger players simply being able to crush the weaker ones and get a victory out of it. The ritual I personally use I’d also be likely to use in a tournament or torch contest in outgoing fights for the best chance at beating my opponent. Those that are weaker than the one they’re attacking generally use mirrorritual which enables an easy victory. Frankly through, there’s not a lot of fighting going on.

So what does happen? Well other than the spells being thrown about making people unable to attack or attack the way they intend there’s a lot of movement. Back when I participated in the normal HC what you’d do if someone took your heads is either hit them back right away or wait. There wasn’t that many places they could go and if you waited you might be able to take the more efficient path. They’d never get that far as AP counts were low as well as other people going for the heads. Now, it’s different though. Because of certain items and high max AP counts, people don’t run out easily. Assuming two players click at the same rate, you’ll need to chase to the end of the map to have a shot at catching up. This is not a huge problem with people hiding in Golemus or Loreroot as they are essentially a circle and you could catch up from either side with multiple contestants. Necrovion is a bit harder but manageable.

The edge of the map is a long way with the current size of it. Most of the new scenes available are located in the tribunal. They have high AP cost and it takes a long time to get through the tribunal even if you use all the consumables you can produce. There is one exception to this: People with tribunal land loyalty. With enough of this they can go all over with barely any AP limitations. This makes it near impossible to catch someone who does have plenty of land loyalty there. The difference in AP cost is just too big even if you were to chase with several people.

As for the rewards, personally I’m not really willing to put in effort for the difference between first and second place. Don’t get me wrong I’d love to have a BHC medal and an extra morph for the collection does look fancy. However, I considered skilldamage a downside to winning first place, a price you have to pay. Second place offers a tainted, which is worth roughly the same as a morph according to recent sales, is a lot less effort and the BHC medal versus the skilldamage is a close call. In addition to this I don’t really find BHC in its current setup enjoyable.

Why don’t I have fun in this contest? It’s boring. There’s hardly any action, head balls get picked up and shipped off to remote locations, if you approach the location the people there have an advantage and are gone before you get there. When you get the heads, all you can do is sit somewhere and wait for people to come for you. You can’t hunt heads because you’d enter territory with high viscosity making you run out of AP and turning you into a sitting duck. I don’t find it enjoyable to merely be able to refresh my screen every 15 seconds or so to see rather someone is moving towards me. The contest is way too long to be able to maintain that as well. It will take a long time before anyone hits 400k. On top of the value difference between first and second place in my opinion is so small, I’m rather content to just pick up second. Currently, I appear to be able to do this while hanging about MDP.

BHC has become a test of endurance; most people can’t compete because they lack the creatures or spells. Amongst the remaining there’s hardly anyone finding it enjoyable and for the time required to be invested should it really be a competition the rewards are lacklustre. BHC is currently merely grinding higher return than your investment. A test of endurance. It should, however, not be mistaken for a contest of strength or skill.



[color=#808080][size=2]I’d appreciate people out to discuss certain specific points in detail to open a new topic and avoid derailing this one.

Should you have need for clarification on what I’m trying to say, a PM would be preferable to a post as it avoids cluttering the topic and makes it easier to read. If needed I will edit the clarification into this post.[/size][/color]

Looking at BHCs, normally a reward is skilldamage for first place, which is alright and all, but not everyone wants to inflict harm on everyone they attack. Eon fairly won his ability to use Skill damage from a BHC and there is not much we can do against it, so why can't there be a switch between reward for skilldamage and skill damage block for First place? Or even the option to choose between the two. It'd give players a chance to at least counter Eon's reward for themself a bit by winning the same contest Eon has won. I for one would be more motivated to go for first if I knew it'd help me maintain more stats than get rid of other's stats.

Sorry for horribly written, hope the point came out clear enough.

shit thats funny, wuts next complainin why casinos (organizator) are on favored side of any gamble game they host? if one football club organizes region tournament at their home stadion they should be forbiden to compete? wtf ppl i can find tons of examples where ORGANIZER ACTUALLY COMPETES IN HIS OWN GAME be it with his own rules (like casinos) or without

so pls save us again of usin eon as excusse, oke he is overpowered but he got there by himself, while everybody else in this game had to lick somebody else's ass to get where they are now

now ya can say things like eon just bought his stats, well then why nobody complained about shop unfairnes ???
then ya can say things like "if eon was in our position he would whine too", in this i can tell ya, ya are bein wrong, even if anyone of ya were in eons position and eon in his, i am tellin ya eon wouldnt be usin excusses like "that dude is OP, bla bla bla, we cant do shit, it takes too much effort", ya knuw wut he would do? he would suck it up and work hard to bypass ya regardless of how long it takes, but most of ya say "screw it, we are too lazy" and so ya quit, congratz to those few that are still tryin, but still whinning wont help ya, it will only hurt ya, so shut up and train hard

ya all dunt like eon becoz of how he got wut he has and becoz how he is usin it, ya are all jelous, hypocritical, weak and pathetic

this game has turned into "use eon as excuse for everythin", so thank ya very much for makin "magicduel" become "blameeon", soz folks i didnt signed up for that game

edit: oh yeah ya can also say "screw ya lib ya dunt even play this game actively wut gives ya right to speak about those things", well oke, ya are right, but regardless of how much ya dunt like wut i said and hate to hear it, ya all knuw its true

Excuse me for the cursing:

DAMN IT NO. D < NO NO NONONO.
YOU CAN'T GO DAMN YOU. NO.

I expect to see you on skype, or else face my furious wrath!

Eon, may I suggest further clarification in your initial post (and future bhc threads) as you have since offered in your replies to this. Perhaps that would abate further matters.
That i understand it players must not be present in the restricted locations at any point during the bhc. I would however like to ask, with my not actually taking sides regarding this, something that has been mentioned previous - if someone is summoned by use of spell or leash/such to a restricted location, which they cant prove happened, would they still be disqualified?

[quote]
It doesn't matter if he didn't plan on staying there, he was still in a location that was excluded from the contest.

What happened when Phantasm went into the TB when I said it wasn't allowed? He was removed from the competition without warning.

What happened when Nadrolski, which is someone I don't have a good relationship with, decided to go into certain locations I considered restricted but I didn't specifically put them on the thread at the time? I gave him a warning to leave those locations.

When Shadow was hiding at the Fields of Fear in the BHC he won, i made sure to get confirmation from Mur that Shadow had access to the location and he wasn't using a bug.

When Manda was at the path keeper I made sure to get confirmation from Mur that Manda had access to that location.

I check all these things. I don't care who you are, whether I like you or not, you'll follow the rules like the rest of us.

I've been running things this way for awhile now, and for the most part things run smoothly. When people break the rules and get kicked out they always tend to come on the forum saying it's not fair, but have I ever been punished for it? No, no I haven't. I won't be punished for these things. My rules are pretty simple. Iggnus can claim he was only there for a few seconds at a time all he wants, an excluded location is an excluded location. He obvious realized it wasn't a location he wasn't supposed to be at, otherwise he would have stayed there longer. Unfortunately for him there's a little LHO button that showed me Peace had been at the Fields of Fear while Ignnus kept jumping from the labyrinth. It seems to me like he didn't think I'd ever realize he was at the Fields of Fear, and he'd get away completely free as long as he was quick enough to avoid detection. That's not how things played out, and he was DQ'd for it.

If you feel it was unfair then start a trial against me. I have nothing to worry about.[/quote]



Actually this whole post sounds like pretty guilt ridden to me,So I got all these score because I was there like 10 seconds today,then got removed fast,you have everything to fear,keep on cheating when you don't like the scene and you'll see

It's not about whether or not you'll be punished, because you are the authority. I assumed you'd be the first to realize this, but apparently you're not. The Council's only going to step in if you do something incredibly stupid, or they're feeling incredibly nit-picky. Using the fact that they have not stepped in yet is no excuse for your actions. If you're going to enforce a rule, you'd better be sure that people know about it before you do, and it seems to me you just threw your rules together sloppily and called it a day. Leaving rules open to interpretation is unacceptable, if the consequence is disqualification. I stand by my statement that ignnus did not break any rules, because your rules have so many obvious logical loopholes.

Excluded means you can't go there. If you jump there your still there. Simple enough to understand.

Hopefully now you realize there are consequences to breaking rules.

It's time for another BHC again. In this BHC fighters will battle all throughout the realm, excluding locations like path keeper, Fields of Fear, Inside the GG mountain, and any other area that isn't normally accessible. I'll allow WP locations.


[/quote]

Mrs, Mr, or its Eon you warned me to get out from the place that i was resting i was idle so no fast answer, you WARNED ME AND WAIT AT LEAST 3 Hours, so in no place says you will automatically exclude from the contest

Yet another brave soul has lost it's living state here in the Center of the realm! Oh noes!

Since I have been contacted by a number of people regarding the "heat voting clickie" that was used successfully to restore Life in the past, I have accepted the request to re-activate that..... with a twist.

In order to actually allow a "vote" to be more accurately recorded, there are TWO clickies setup to collect your active heat.

The hidden orb vine, can be accessed using the phrase "[b]Revive Spartiatis[/b]" and will function exactly as it did in the past. This is located in the corner of the steps, as circled in the image below. You can safely check the clickie without using Heat, as it will only drain it when you use the button inside the clickie to allow that.

The large rock can be used to represent a desire to keep Spartiatis dead and buried with the same sort of "heat storage" utility if you use the phrase "[b]Spartan stays dead[/b]" on it. (also circled in the image below)


[img]http://everthorn.net/Misc/images/GoE_image1.png[/img]


All your Active Heat will be drained if you click the button within these clickies, and it will record a running status of it's current Active Heat.
This Heat drains away at the same rate as other heat storages, such as your Erolin device and Heat Jars.

Speaking of Heat Jars, it is unfortunately [u]not[/u] possible at this time to use Jars to store Heat and transfer it to the voting clickies. The Heat must be [u]your[/u] own Personal active Heat, at [u]this[/u] location.

Let the Will of the Many once again decide the fate of the One!

I think adding a "negative vote" like this is quite in line with the spirit of the "Heat vote" concept as mentioned in the announcement!
[quote][color=#CCCCCC]Ann. 2206 - [2012-02-17 22:33:18 - Stage 11][/color]
[b]Heat Voting (concept)[/b]
There is a method used so far to show the will of some for something to happen, by loading heat into an item and reaching insane heat amounts. I believe this method is a good indicator of collective will power and can be used as a voting method if something should happen or not. To counter it with a "negative" vote, an additional item could be used to load heat and show a group of people is against that something. The ability to raise heat is directly proportional with the skills, age and by that with the popularity of a character. The fact heat drops is also relevant when considering that a certain matter might be seen by someone that can do something about it at a later time. In other words it is a vote that slowly fades away if not sustained and has as only "enemy" the "forgetting" of that cause...and that is in a way very realistic.[/quote]


[b]Also note:[/b] I will NOT be using any Prayer Heat from my Worshipers, unless specifically asked to. For now, I'll refrain from voting one way or the other, unless I am sure it's my own Personal Heat released by my stored Erolin devices.

Every little bit helps. That is 1 gold and 7 silver so far.

Also, anyone who has an item for reviving and will be willing to use it for payment, please speak up or contact me. I have contacted one or two so far and would like to get the best deal possible to get this done as quickly as possible. So the cheaper the better. I believe the standing price as of right now is 20 gold. Which is quite a bit.

Yay awesome sauce!

I am thinking of having it at 00:00 and maye another time before or after. I spoke with innocence, and we wish to put the stories up in a seperate section on the MD page, so if you guys could e mail your stories when you get them, they'll be put up!
