Muratus del Mur

I would like some feedback on some things i want to add or change in the shop, to know if they are ok to be added to the shop, how deep, how many, etc.
Please understand that my account is messed up with all sort of tests and changes and i might not accurately know what some items do or how they really influence you , thats why i need your feedback on this.
stock changes are already in effect
 
(id9) Bronze Avatar - removed for now, the interface no longer supports this
(id20) Raw energy - loads 1500 heat, i want to change this to 1 heat stone
(id21) Overcharged energy - gives 2500 heat, changed stock from 10 to 50, planning to make it give 4400 heat (max the erolin can hold active at one time right now), or load all heat orbs.
(id30) Mechanical Movement Aid - change stock from 4 to 20  , planning to increase ap boost from 50 to 500
(id33) Goblet of energy - change stock from 2 to 5 additional heat slots 
 
(id25) Sack of Gold (gives value points) - change to give more vp but also 1 silver.
(id24) Map Activity Overview - not sure what it does now after flash change, but i am thinking to make it show the online playerlist that is now scrolling under the map
(id48) Map location of online players - does this work?
(id54 - mp2) Mass Heal Creatures - heals 16 crits now -  i plan to make it heal 40  
(id53 - mp2) Illusion points -  increased from 10 to 20
(id36) Sacred Goblet of Energy - gives heat slots, increased stock from 2 to 6 
(id91) +50% AP Boost - increased stoc from 12 to 20
(id95) Token Removal Gel - increased stock from 20 to 50
(id8) Great Concoction of True Self - increased stock from 8 to 16
(id1) Vitality Elixir I - increased stock from 4 to 16
(id31) Gold Bottle of Learning - increasess skills by 3 permanent , stoc increased from 1 to 20
(id32) Bottle of Alchemic Gold - gives 800 max vitality pernament, increased stoc from 1 to 10
Regeneration Ritual of Youth , Regeneration Ritual of Vengeance - regenerates 8/16 crits and gives a modest boost, i want to make this percentage boost not fixed, for example instead of 60 attack, to give you plus 60% attack, its temporary aftrall
 
increase tokens stock - changed to 20 
 
I want to put enchanted stones in shop, i am waiting for suggestions, what would be ok (not to powerful but not to little) to have in shop?
 
An other things i am planning to change, is the number of shop items you can see at one time. Right now the "slots" where designed to match 1 stoc items more, but over the years i added more and more items with multiple stoc, so i will increase the shop slots of items you can pick from , by at least 1 slot. (opinions?)
 
Let me know what you think
thanks
 
 

You have some very valid points, i might change my mind about the change. However i would still like to fix the original issue that made me want this change, maybe you have ideas how to.
The creature prices for old players are meaningless, this allows absurdly easy farming of crits. Filling your creature slots should be increasingly difficult, not easier. The advantage given by Wi and more creature slots should mean you can grow more crits, but not faster or at basically zero cost. 
The way it is now, it takes away the challenge, and creates exponentially faster growing creature farms, so to speak. 

If this is the new one:

 
I like it!

Whatever solution i will find for this, needs to be something that works nice on any screen size. Having the bar on the right slide up and down when its already sliding left right, is not an option.
 
I'll think of something, keep sending suggestions , i might see things from new perspectives
 

as i was preparing work for this i named that file Winertia ... what do you think, is it a usable "original" word?

worldly inertia or profane fluidity?
like this negative vp makes more sense, because its not a form of debt, or anything monetary related, but more like when you get entangled in everyday financial concerns, its the feeling, not the value, you get my point?
creatures you dont "pay" to recruit, as they are not mercenaries, they get bound to your soul as avatars to represent parts of who you are in a fight.

I have a wild thought...vp (value points) is clearly at a concept at conflict with other  things refering to trade/monetary value , such as coins. 
Vp is not really behaving like monetary value at all, you can't use it for trading, and it doesn't have a rarity based value...it is more like vitality but more static, nothing like a resource.
How about renaming it and giving it a different perspective to better reflect its behaviour?
We have heat, thats obvious, vitality, that is decision influenced (think of why i say that), and..vp..that is a sort of anchor into the material, .a ...."worldly inertia" or .."profane fluidity" ..i like both but the first better.
Does it make sense what i mean? Like this i could integrate with new game sections and give better use for vp..and i could put ve and "vp" at same level of display importance in the interface.
 
Or is it a change too difficult to accept after so many years and acustomed concepts? 

Mur, take it as a sign of love for another interface you designed. Undying love, even.
 
@peeps: two days ago I met an angry VorniC at GoE (scene still on flash); the scene didn't load for him and he was on phone. He was like 'nothing works, why isn't MD focusing on fixing these things'. I told him to come back in a week  
I, too, found only one viable browser that supported flash on mobile and I don't know if it's still available. It's not like Mur woke up one morning and decided to f*** up MD and upset a bunch of players...so instead of complaining, try to say something like 'This looks great, but could you perhaps...'. 
I, for one, think more about stuff like quests and some other things that need our attention. There's a lot of work to be done.

Oh but MD needed this and quite badly. 
I am happy people give me feedback on the interface, i qm just not happy that i can't satisfy everyones taste with it 
To make it clear , without flashless interface MD would have permanently died in just a couple of months, making it impossible to migrate later. Flash support is being dropped by all browsers permanently, and is already disabled by default.
Without a wider interface we would have been stuck in a pre 2000 style design, unable to add anything new and usefull to it. 
Without mobile friendly responsive, interface MD already paid a drastic price losing more than 70% of its audience.
Without more space for tools and interface, the tools wpuld have been difficult to use, and they are md's future in what the gameplay is, and what things are being created for its players, by its players.
All this made this new interface absolutely mandatory, and i am saying this for years, i just intervened now before it would have been too late.
If this stagnates soon, it is already something anyone else would have taken many months of work to accomplish as it is now, and thats no overestimation.
I don't afford to hire a couple designers to make a look everyone would like, and a coder to code it, and me alone this is what could do, Chew does his part as well, thats it, Period.
I was hoping to get constructive observations, not the feeling that i disturbed you by creating something absolutely unavoidable, that you think its just my passing mood.

You people complain that the elements are not centered but then complain why the edge panels are so far away when they are.
Word by word what you are asking is the old interface, (that is still available under old-layout.php btw)
Screens of that size are wide for a reason, otherwise they would have made them vertical not horizontal. Why would i try to fit everything central and on vertical when there is so much space horizontally?
 
Are you sure its about not liking the new layout and not actually about not liking change in md in general?
I am sorry, maybe later i will do other layouts  md fully suports variable layout..but now ita just crazy to do what you ask when entire design moves in the opposite direction, i am actually sad i can't make something you all like.
Ps. Fang, mallos was showing me the wings in the scene, i asked him for that scene screen..so your comment made no sense

I just checked my messages, apparently some are shy to reply here, but i received some articles already. 
I wasn't expecting the articles before talking about what they should contain..but its a good start.
I shall review what i received and prepare them for seo in the next days
 
Thanks, Ungod

I want to start promoting MD again.
I am planning to start a SEO campaign and post some articles with links to MD allover the web, to help us get some more players.
Is there anyone here that can write some 700 word articles about browser based games (half about such games in general and half about Md) ?
This would help me greatly, i will handle the posting and adjust keywords and links myself, but i need something to start from. 
I need multiple such articles written in different form, so i cant write everything myself, and if multiple people write a couple, or at least one, it would be just perfect.
Thanks
 
Ps. Ofc there are rewards for your effort involved

Not sure if i can add this via shop, but i could add it some other way and make it cost lets say 1 silver to change a crit name, ..does it make sense?

i've decided to change it more, i will upload a new verion soon, This one i will use for the creature slots probably
Thank you

After setting a mood panel status using the rightbar, it seems to open the mood panel in the middle panel.
 
This was a sideeffect of having anything that opens in the sidebar popup depending on resolution. Its a lot of complicated js work there, and i just got it to work, i wont mess with it anymore. In a way i kind of like how it behaves, i dont consider it a bug, just a bit strange, but easy to get accustomed to. If you can fix it better without breaking the way this behaves on mobile, have fun 

Using a basic slider with a little CSS would probably do wonders
Again, see email, Im assuming you want me to wait until you have finished and written up a design document so I can follow the "old mur style PHP"

Ah I have found the steps to reproduce:
Unpin the bottom panel. Reload the page, Open the panel, it will expand but not expand the inner content.

The Message Sorting cloud (a premium feature) seems to have gone. We probably need to remove it from the shop if it is still there. If it isnt planned to be returned we probably need to refund those who purchased it.
 
Explenation:
The shop feature buys you a different interface for the labels. The cloud might be gone, but its functionality is not. All the cloud was, was a fancy way to use predefined labels.
Considering the interface looks better for who has the message cloud option active, i consider this "bug" closed
 

Some creature pages are clipping quite badly as the height isnt transferred to the page: crit  10382
fixed, also fixed issue with crit missing image breaking the page entirely
 
Its possible other crits might have issue, there are 4 page templates for them , this was just one
