  1. Protector Spells - Not Working?

    in Resolved Bugs

    Posted

    Upon testing the two spells with *BFH LIGHTHING* and *Clock Master* in the Marble Dale Park, we discovered that two protector spells do not appear to be working properly.

    The two spells that are damaged are prot-freeze and prot-nomulti.

    Could someone please check these? Are they not working due to the changes in the combat system?

  3. New Ggg?

    in General Forum

    Posted · Edited by Amoran Kalamanira Kol

    Personally, I see nothing wrong with young mp5 gathering together in a difficult to reach location for an hour or two to train their creatures. So long as it doesn't break any rules regarding alts or otherwise, there should be absolutely no reason to go and destroy what they are doing.

    I would like to ask the veteran mp5 to do something. Create an alt, train it to mp5, and see how well you do currently in the game. Many seem not to understand exactly how difficult it is to train as a new mp5, or how difficult it can be to even keep yourself balanced. You don't enter as a new mp5 with all of the fun toys such as drachorns or angiens, maybe not even booster creatures. You enter with basic creatures and perhaps a few shop creatures/shop abilities (depending on whether or not the young mp5 in question goes through a daily round of free credits) and are forced to face a group of experienced players who more often than not have tokens, who are constantly attacking you with big flashy creatures.

    Sure, maybe the GGG system has caused problems in the past, but a group of players who are simply attempting to get to a level in which they can battle properly should not be a terrible issue.

    I would suggest doing something like this only a couple times a week, for a limited amount of time, say.. two hours. That aside, I feel it is a good idea to have something like this occasionally.

    The veterans of old certainly had to do it the difficult way, but keep in mind that it is more difficult to tread through the game now than it was in your time.

  8. Rebel Rule

    in Questions and Answers

    [quote name='pamplemousse' timestamp='1289523056' post='71916']
    So, the chatban lasts for [u]4 hours[/u], so I'm told. That seems [b]INCREDIBLY[/b] excessive. I understand that only one person can be banned at a time, and that there is, or will be, a cool down. But for those that are not on MD for long hours at a time, this seems a bit unfair.

    Of course, those that rebel will have to lose some rights, but if someone is rebelling, you most likely have an issue with a King and that King might be more inclined to want to shut you up because you are rebelling, not because what you are saying is inflammatory or negative.

    Being a rebel has its price, but not being able to speak anywhere in MD chat for 4 hours seems like a brutal muzzle for those in opposition to the Authority, not a real way for Kings to squelch an uprising.

    *edit* I don't want to just state what I think is wrong and "moan" so I will also offer suggestions.

    I would think that a ban of 30 minutes would be long enough to be a deterrent to rebellious speech, but would offer enough freedom to still actually be involved in MD.

    Alternatively, the 4 hour ban could remain but perhaps for every 5 or so silences, there would be a deterrent for the King. As in,
    *half a point given for every 5 casts of the Rebel Queller.
    *or for every 1 cast, The King would also not be able to speak.

    I just feel there needs to be something to balance the 4 hour ban, but that is just my opinion.
    [/quote]

    I commend you for bringing up the possibility of abuse, and helping to answer a few of my own questions. I must say that I do agree with the fact that a 4 hour ban is excessive. Considering that we do not know, for whatever reason, how long the item will take to 'cool down', this could very well be a problem.

    If it is as long as my gut tells me it is, a king could likely use it every 1-2 days and silence the rebels while talking about a useless topic like.. say, toast.

    I find that to be a bit ridiculous honestly.

    I feel that there should be a penalty for misusing the chat-ban item, as being shut up for 4 hours for talking about something unrelated to your so-called rebellion is, in my opinion, not alright.

    It is well understood that being a rebel has it's draw-backs but... that item should be regulated in some way. Not just by mechanics and cogwheels, but by rules.

    As to what rule, I leave that for those in this topic to debate.
    This is just my small bit of input.

  9. Avatar Shop

    in Central Market

    Posted · Edited by Amoran Kalamanira Kol

    Information about a few of the avatars:

    Avatar 1 - "Weapon Master Aleron": This avatar was drawn by GlorDamar to represent Aleron, the weapon master/weapon crafter. However, it can truly be representative of anyone. In Glor's opinion, when he showed it to me before it was released, he commented that it was one of his better bits of artwork.

    Avatar 2 - "The wolf": this avatar was drawn by a very old and very respected artisan named Morrel. It is one of the older avatars in the game and one of the few submitted by him.

    Avatar 3 - "Smiling Fairy": This avatar is a generation 6 avatar, and I believe it was from a commissioned set by an artist outside of MD. I'm uncertain of this though, I tried to find information regarding the generation 6 set quite some time ago and had very little luck.

    As to the value of avatars, it's surely understandable that you have spent a long while gathering these, and that you may have dipped into your own funds to get them, but I would still consider the general value of an avatar. The avatars you buy in the shop are worth one credit, to sell them to the shop, you are given 3 credits. I'm not sure what this would process to in gold/silver/coin, but do keep the prices somewhat fair if you intend to sell them.

    Normally I would not agree to this sort of 'buying and selling' at all, but I am glad to see some of the more detailed works being revealed.

    These artists no doubt worked hard to create these, and I have said and will always say, let them be viewed.

  12. Week Long Quest Extended! - Scavenger Hunt!

    in Quest Archive

    Posted

    Public Log Scavenger Hunt!


    [size="4"]Explaination[/size] - This scavenger hunt is mainly aimed at the younger, newer generations of the realm. It is designed for the new ones to 'meet' the older generation, or those who may aid them well in the future. So, instead of simply hunting for names to receive a wish point, hunt for conversation. This is meant to be enjoyable, not your usual boring "seek and find" quest.

    Those who wish to participate must seek the owners of each of these 25 public log entries. Make a list of names as you find the owner of each public log, and wish each of these people a friendly hello along the way. PM me the list of names for judging.

    I will not answer whether anyone is correct, but the first one to complete this correctly will likely get a wish point. The second may gain a creature, and the third may gain some silver.

    Answers and prizes will be distributed at the end of the festival, or the time allowed for the quest may be extended depending on how many join.


    [size="4"]Rules for the Scavenger Hunt[/size] - I am not certain if there is a specific way to 'cheat' at this, however.. if I find that anyone who has previously completed the quest has cheated.. you will not receive a wish point, and you will be banned from participating in any further festival events.


    [size="4"]Reward[/size] - One wish point to the first person to complete this quest correctly or semi-correct.

  17. Fall Themed Artwork Quest

    in Quest Archive

    Posted

    @ Mr. Mystery: It can be made in any way, as long as it is considered an original work.

    @ Dst: There are the themes of a full moon, a cup of wine, an ritual knife, and a withered tree. Essentially that is an altar with a prepared ritual. These themes work with autumn.

    There is a classic ritual that relates to paganism or wicca (I forget which honestly), I believe which you are supposed to do during Samhain (hallow's eve, halloween) where you are supposed to bathe before the ritual and use a glass of red wine as a tool during the ritual. It's partly why I included wine as one of the themes of autumn.

    Here's a quick example of the ritual, I think it can be modified for personal preference according to the user:

  21. Fall Themed Artwork Quest

    in Quest Archive

    Posted · Edited by Amoran Kalamanira Kol

    [center]The Artwork Quest is finally here! Due to a large number of questions concerning the last artwork quest that was held, I have decided to create a fall themed artwork quest which will be a part of the Children of the Eclipse's Autumn Festival!

    If you wish to participate in the Quest, please check my quest page for more information.[/center]

    Examples of fall themes: Harvest moons, autumn leaves, acorns, wine, pumpkins, gourds, purple grapes, fire, blood.


    [size="4"]From quest page:[/size]

    [size="3"]1) [/size][size="3"]Explanation[/size] - This is an art contest for those of the realm who seek to show their ability with a pencil, pen, or color anything. It is a contest in which those who participate are expected to send in one well drawn fall-themed work of art. It can be done in any medium, and the person who does his best with it will receive a wish point.

    This contest will last all week, and.. depending on the amount of entries sent in during the week of festival, for the rest of the month. (In this case it may last for a total of 2 weeks)


    [size="3"]2)[/size] [size="3"]Rules[/size] - 'Cheating' is difficult for this contest as well, however if I find that anyone has plagiarized a work of art (used another artist's work as their own), they will not receive a reward and will be banned from participating in any festival events. All entries must be original, I do not mind 'copying' a work as long as you make that work your own. Copying a pose, or a stance, or taking an idea and working it into something new is fine in my book, so long as it is creatively done. The entry must be YOUR ARTWORK.


    [size="3"]3)[/size] [size="3"]How to send in art [/size]- There will be a thread made on the forum concerning the festival, you may post your artwork in this thread.



    * In order to participate, you must have access to a scanner or some type of image producing technology (Example: a camera, webcam, etc.).
    * Please do not spam this thread with nonsense.
    * Enjoy!

  23. Absence - Family Matters.

    in Say hello, Goodbye, or something else

    Posted

    Update: I woke up in a really poor mood this morning, expecting that as I opened my eyes, I'd be drug off to the hospital with barely any time to get ready to watch my father get dissected...

    And instead, I woke up at noon to: "The surgery is postponed."

    They have decided to wait and inspect my father's surgery, do some nerve tests to find out if there's a way they can do something simpler that uses less 'hard ware' as they put it. So this time my absence has been postponed, I will be available more in the next couple of days.

    So, that was unexpected and strange.. but they're good doctors, they would rather not have my father make a major life-long decision if there's a simpler- more reasonable way to do the surgery.

  24. Goodbye

    I am saddened to see one with so much potential to create leave the realm. If this is what you feel you must do, then do it and know that you will be missed by those who consider you a 'friend' in the realm.

    I hope there are ways for people to keep in touch with you outside, maybe drop in for Christmas. Who knows?

    Either way, I wish you the best and do hope to see a visit someday.

  25. Absence - Family Matters.

    Posted

    I will be leaving for the next few days due to a family emergency. My father is going to be having surgery on the 19th, and I will have to be there for him.

    I will try to check into the game if I have internet available, but I will not be able to spend much time. Mostly, I will log in to check PMs and messages, and remain updated.
    If any of my adepts or worshipers have any questions, do not feel bad about sending me a message. I will answer as soon as I am able.

    If I'm needed for any other reasons, again, please send a message. I'll do what I can, but my goal during the next couple of days will be to spend time with my father.

    Thank you all for understanding.
