    [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]hm... that might be. situation: i logged off, made few new characters and tried to get them all through story mode. some of them managed to lose vs shades, and with each of them i kept getting that ban-warning msg for cooldown time.[/font][/size]

    [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]you can test this by losing the first fight with shades on your way back from aramory (for the first time with new char).[/font][/size]
    [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]it shows a threatening message about getting a ban instead of "you need to wait for X minutes till the next fight" (i guess).[/font][/size]

    [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]should be pretty important, we don't want to frighten new players, do we? :P[/font][/size]

    [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif] :D:D:D i was about to cry even without Rendrils explanation. I love the way you fix bug's, I really do! but try to understand the ordinary man's thoughts. it's like:[/font][/size]

    [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]- you bought one cup of tea, but you drank two![/font][/size]
    [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]- (wth?!)[/font][/size]
    [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]- pay for them!..[/font][/size]

    [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]i'm not sure about implementation, but c'mon, i'm pretty sure you can put "$activeDays = '(select whatever from whatever)'; if ($activeDays == 0) $activeDays = 1; else { (ordinary way) }" instead of skipping else statement :D[/font][/size]
    [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]and yeah, i know, it's way more complicated, but believe me - i'm not judging your voluntary job or something, it's just a friendly teasing :P[/font][/size]

  8. HC Contest

    in Resolved Bugs

    [size="2"][font="Verdana"]
    heh... so here's that joke about skiing championship...

    three skiers come to a hotel in championship town to take their reservations, but it appears that a mistake happened and the only one single room left free... newly married ones. you know - one huge bed, lots of red hearts, flowers, etc... welp, skiers need to sleep somewhere as early in the morning they need to take a competition. so they do agree to take that room and sleep in one bed. oh, forgot to mention, naturally they were all from different countries. no offence, will pick them sort of random. so, they were german, french and russian. as night comes, they go to sleep. german at one side, french at another and russian in the middle.

    the morning comes, they all wake up. german yawns and starts talking: "guys, you won't believe what a dream i had... i've met such a gorgeous woman here in hotel, we talked a bit, came to my room and we had an awesome sex! that was really something...". french: "oh... i had a pretty similar dream too, just with three gorgeous women, and yeah, sex was terrific". russian sniffs sadly: "well... i had a wonderful dream too, just the ending i really didn't like... so i am taking a part in our contest, holding my skiing sticks firmly, going at full strength, nearing to the finish in the first position... i add up the last bits of my energy, i already see the finish line, i hear the crowd screaming! few more pushes, and!.. skiing sticks melted..."

    welp... what i want to say by this story - i feel almost the same as that russian. few meters left to the finish line and now i can just look as my score is melting. sad, heh :) i hope at least i helped to make this HC a bit fun and pleasant for some of you. not like for that german and french, but still ;)

    huge thanks to everyone who helped me! huge thanks to all who made me to learn! cya, time to sleep ;)

    [size="2"][font="Verdana"]if the browser is still "alive" you will, but if you close MD window or the browser itself - it wont. but anyways, better to do that manually to be sure :D[/font][/size]

  10. HC Contest

    in Resolved Bugs

    Posted · Edited by duxie

    [size="2"][font="Verdana"]what i've noticed is that if player logs off (dumps stolen heads), his trail disappears pretty quick (~ half an hour, hour max).

    the same happened to me, i've lost ~400 heads. thought a bit, here's what i came to:

    1. you should look at your score too, not only at your head count. if it decreased - you were logged off; if not - you were hit and robbed. not sure about Guillak, but i'm pretty sure i saw Princess Katt offline this morning.

    2. idle checker on MD is implemented pretty strange... this is more for Rendril or Mur: i think your idle checker on server-side should move people into idle status, not into logged off. "logout" should be more manual action not "go idle". it's pretty confusing if you leave your character logged on and close the browser, or shut down the comp - in few mins MD understands that you logged off. welp, not for me to decide, but this might be the problem confusing people. in most browser based games first you move idle, only then you're logged off :)

    in short: if you want to be sure you're idle - do that manually, click "go idle" link, or wait till "idle" screen shows up. otherwise you're risking that MD will log you out. pretty sure that's what happened to me and to you two :) try to remember if you saw the "idle" screen before going away from comp? :)

    oh, and thanks to Shem for pointing this out! ;)

  14. MD Script Learning for Beginners

    Apostrophes in clickie titles...

    Use & then # then 39 then ; (five characters in a row - when I put it here, it turns into an apostrophe!)

    This is then interpreted as html.

    Thanks for the tip, Chewett.

    btw - chewett says use code tags in the forum, and it will let you spell such things out. That's [ followed by "code" then ] then the thing itself then [ followed again by code, then / and ]
    [/quote]

    [size="2"][font="Verdana"]about code thing: you can use "Code" style from drop down box at top left corner (near fonts, size). you can even mark a piece of text you want to make as code and then select that style ;)

    btw slash thingie "/" must be right after "[" in closing tag part like in any other closing tag ;)[/font][/size]

    [size="2"][font="Verdana"]I don't like the last one, but that might be the matter of taste. And not sure about the one before the last :)
    I love the one with shades. Overall they're nice, tempting. Interesting background, hehe :)

    I think it's sad that MD seems to be boiling in its own vapours and majors research results do not result in new insights and features but recognize that some door that were opened for everybody should be shut... And if you joined the game later - well, sorry you missed the bus.

    [size="2"][font="Verdana"]
    xrieg, one experienced player once told me that something like 2-3 months before I joined the game, they've been sacing Angien eggs for max VE (4K he said, if my memory doesn't lie to me). I can't confirm that fact, it might be just a rumor - elders can tell us. But how would you feel to miss that train? Lets not forget GG drachs were easy to get at some moment, we missed that one too. New mp5's could complain they can't max their crits so easy as it was 2 months before - they sure missed that train. Everything's changing, but MD prevails. That's the fact and it talks for itself.

    [size="2"][font="Verdana"]*shrugs* if to talk about combat - not like Angiens do really help newbies nowadays. If you know how to use them properly - you're not a newbie. I have a good example of me and lone wolf pup ;) It was my mistake to lose interest in Angiens, but the situation in MD really helped here - I was too concentrated in getting and understanding more rare creatures, hence I worked way more to get into and understand other lands then explore MB.

    Anyways, I had 0 friends in here when I started playing, I was/am a total newbie, not like few of you against this idea :P You knew where you're heading to from the very beginning, I had/have to find this yet, and the mystery factor does work here at least for the kind as me.

    I love backlash ro post, hehe... "It s not enough that all of the contests,quests(mainly the good stuff) go to the old players" - only in combat situations where most of the old players are mp5-6, which has nothing to do with newbies. Everything other (contests, quests) in fact help newbies to get closer to elders, makes them more equal, stats/creatures/mp doesn't help here, which is... what you want, no? :)

    Not like Angiens will become a rare creature after this. There are what? Thousands of them in our pockets? They might become hard to get for newbies, this is true, but also newbies will be way more anxious to get such a reward. You wont be able to get rich on newbies - they don't have the buying power, and every elder has them, so no money for Angiens this way too. But there's a lot of players who don't really care about another piece of silver and they will support contests/quests with excess of Angiens, which is great - more pleasant reward = bigger interest in quest, and quests are what elders use to move newbies around... or keep them attached :)

    Be fair, Angiens will still be way easier to get for newbies then drachs... not talking about GG one, to buy a drach from the shop you need to become mp4 + spend > 250 days in MD which doesn't make you a newbie anymore for sure. And no newbie will pay a $ for the game he hasn't played enough to like it, which again doesn't make him a newbie.

    bleh, sorry, made it too long... :)

    *claps* IMO correct motivation and a good start.

    I just would put the entrance to the Angien's Shrine inside Sage's Keep (boat or tunnel *shrugs*), so it is still in a reach, still draws attention.
    That way it is more interesting, more tempting, more mysterious then the banned one. Also I would think to put a WP payment for that entrance, so only really dedicated to the secret people would want to take it. That might look the same as to put 3WP payment on the current boat, but from my small experience I would say that Sage's Keep has the least popularity comparing to other "secret" places in other lands (I might be wrong, but that's just an opinion). So that way you would have 2 secret places in MB more wannable to research, and people use to stick to the places of their purpose.

    That's just an idea, tons of alternatives are possible. All i want to say - things are way more interesting when they are hard to get, then impossible ones ;)

  24. Spells to put post-its on scenes

    in New Ideas

    Posted · Edited by duxie

    [size="2"][font="Verdana"]could be a button before "Players online here:X" called something like "Brief scene info", or just "Info".
    when you click it - new on-top panel pops up with info about the room. such panel already exists with some info about this and that in some scenes, you just need to press a clickie.
    would be useful for those who needs the info, and not disturbing for those who don't.
