    Azrafar got a reaction from Maebius in Build your own Drachorn   
    Hello.
    This is my first attempt to bake a drachorn!
     
    (Sorry, I don't have a proper camera, I made the pictures with my smartphone. If it is not good enough I'll try to make better ones.)

    And while baking: http://i.imgur.com/zsghM7w.jpg  (Yes, I only have a mini oven.)
     
    I decided to make one and experiment with "food art". It is not as easy as I tought  :))
     
    Well, the drachorn got a bit chubby. But it's skin is made of  dough mixed with tomato sauce and spiced with some oregano. His stomach is filled with minced meat, also spiced (It's a lie, it is made Lorerootian style with soy). His eyes are made of black pepper and his spikes from chipped noodle bits.
     
    I'll open him up and show the insides once I make sure the image quality is ok. http://i.imgur.com/lc6glyM.jpg
     
    EDIT: Oh, I forgot to state what reward I'm aiming for. I would like a Wishpoint. Yes, a WP not a drachorn. I'll eat the drachorn.
     
    Also I removed it from the tray:

    Issue has been there for as long as I can remember and is, in my opinion, what a new player will find most frustrating as soon as he or she realizes what it does.

    And yes, I'm sure that 1 attempt is not enough/fair because none of the participants were "correct" so far, in their first attempt. Yes, I know this is a quest in which there may not be any "wrong" answer, but I'll be judging it in a point system, based on how precise the answer is to what I had in mind, as well as the method (logical, simple, etc).

    Its just if there is one thing that breaks a game for new users it is bugs, spelling mistakes and occasionally (though I still see allot of Spanish speakers in English servers) language barriers. MD currently matches two of those criteria. The bugs I speak of has a pretty comprehensive list in the bugs thread so I wont list them all here and also spelling in some locations (though it has improved over the years) is not all that great. I'm not going to bother trying to help on this aspect because although I edit some of my friends writing I am more than guilty of using Google as a potential dictionary or plug the entire document into a reading program to find problems.
     
    The biggest lesson that I have learned so far has been from a small little known game called "Prison Architect" where they devote one month every few months of building features to looking through there bug data base fixing as many bugs as possible. To be fair they have a team of five developers and this is there day job but it makes a game in constant development manageable and the bug database doesn't just become a huge mess and the game is actually rather polished.
     
    My final thought is this. When A25 is launched move forward a step and devote a stage to fixes. Then the next major feature you implement could be stage 15. A stage or new release should mark a step forward. Moving forward without a huge or major change to mark it sends the message that you are done with something and it wont be worked on any more.

    I am relatively new to MD, but I would like to give feedback on the topic of FUN. ( I don't want to be pulled into the drama that errupted recently.)
     
    As a new player I am having fun. Mostly exploration, general questing and RP with people I meet. 
    Maybe the veterans here reached a point called "end game content". It is the point where people start to get bored. They played this game for too long and are starting to burn out. So making MD better sounds like "how do we add more end game content" to me. I'm not saying that there is no room for improvement, but new players have a lot of things to do and catch up to the old ones. The problem you are having only applies to the veterans (well, some of you).
     
    This is just an opinion of a newbie, just to add a different view on things. Take it as you will.

    Azrafar reacted to DARK DEMON in The Labyrinth Part 2 (and miniquest)   
    The Labyrinth is what can be called, in the simplest of terms, a broken mirror. It reflects itself... in itself. Not once but multiple times, in different ways, from different angles. Sometimes the cracks and broken pieces (of glass? something else?) form something new altogether, sometimes they result in incomplete paths or unexpected "edges".
     
    In other words, if it wasn't "broken", it would indeed not be a maze but clear cut paths, easy to travel through. If it wasn't "broken", it would actually have an exact center where everything would reflect, but that is not the case. The center does not physically exist, it is meant to be realized.
     
    ___________________________________________________
     
    The purpose of sharing this info is to encourage everyone to answer their questions (which will obviously be aroused after reading) themselves, if they dare to venture into the Labyrinth of course :D.
     
    Which is why I shall also create a mini-quest!
     
    It is very simple: PM me ingame or through forum, what you think are the coordinates of the exact center of the Labyrinth, and why. It may be very easy or difficult, depending on how you look at things :)
     
    I'll give out rewards based on how logical your answers are. The quest lasts for a whole month (ending on December 11).

    I think it couts if a person rickrolls you multiple times, but every rickroll must be a separate link. I guess. Unless you want to post the "result", because you forgot that a given link RR-ed you once before.

    Azrafar got a reaction from Kyphis the Bard in Favors and such   
    Rophs, I think people know that they should make the content, but not many are willing to.
     
    This is because there are two kinds of people and two kind of decision that can be made.
    There are people who are capable to make (good) quests and those who are not capable. (capability isn't related to skill, but also "social status" and other factors)
    Then one can decide if he wants to take the effort to make a quest or not to.
    the mix of these gives the following results:
    1) People who are capable decide to put effort into making quests.
    2) People who are not capable decide to put effort into making quests.
    3) People who are capable decide they won't try to make quests.
    4) People who are not capable decide they won't try to make quests.
     
    The 1st option is prefered, though there are always people that belong to the 4th category (no problem with that, I consider my self to fall in that category too. I am bad at organising events in general, so I prefer not to do it ).
     
    The goal should be to move people from the 3rd category to the 1st, and filter out (and solve the problem, rehabilitate) the ones from the 2nd .
     
    I think there should be a more strict procedure on how one can get help for a quest. Like Council first. They may go to Mur if necessary, but mainly recruiting the needed help. A more strict "chain of command" if you will. This way the issues that get to Mur may be cleared of accusations (like begging).
     
    (Again, these are just suggestions and the way I see it after reading up on things here in the forum. Since I don't have time to read all the comments from the past years, I apologise if I suggested something that you already tried or discussed.)
     
     
     
    Ailith, I think every multiplayer/online game has end content. I encountered this term in gaming. It is the last stage of the game. For you veterans I guess it is the quest you make for each other.
    For newbies there is the implemented content (from mp3 to mp5, Loreroot guard, some puzzles...), exploration to get through. Once you feel that the game is geting boring that is the end game. When there is nothing new. ---> End games have end content, some are more some are less interesting.
    I don't know how to phrase it better. Just look at other games and what is their end game/content, and look at MD and try to determine what the end game is in MD.
     
    Since this is a social, RP game, the "end content" is the player made quests. Of course these quests can be accesed by new players too, but that is the unique structure of this game (players constantly create new content for each other).
     
    The problem might be that for veterans the new content might not come quick enough (since they explored everything, done all static quests etc.). 
     
    Also under content I mean things like implemented quests, but also player to player interaction(RP) is also a content. A rule of online/multiplayer games is that players are content for other players. (In a multiplayer shooter players are targets/teammates for each other, like the AI characters are in single player). 
     
     
    Uhh, I got tangled up in writing all this down, I hope it makes ense. I need to improve my reasoning skill...

So making MD better sounds like "how do we add more end game content" to me. I'm not saying that there is no room for improvement, but new players have a lot of things to do and catch up to the old ones. The problem you are having only applies to the veterans (well, some of you).
     
    This is just an opinion of a newbie, just to add a different view on things. Take it as you will.

    Here's the fresh log from tonight.
    I forgot to give you homeworks, but next time you have no escape.  :D
     
    Lecture 3/4
    [spoiler]lashtal: Anybody awake?
    Rikstar: I am
    lashtal: *nods* Very good, I'm about to start
    lashtal: Last week Ary Endleg showed me a very interesting video, something that nicely fills the gap between the past lectures and the new ones.
    lashtal: While we wait 5 more minutes for others to come, please take a look at it:
    lashtal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSKtTBjSBg0
    Rikstar: I will do.
    BFH the WHITE: Community Event (hosted by lashtal) : College of Darkness - Fear pt.3. @Howling Gates NOW
    lashtal: Oh, and another one:
    lashtal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyiAR2BXtKU
    Rikstar: (I am a person who can't watch horror.)
    BFH the WHITE: message will dissappear in a while, i leave now
    BFH the WHITE: cya
    Rikstar: (Those movies stalk me for weeks.)
    Rikstar: (So I have learned to not watch them.)
    lashtal: Thank you BFH, see you
    : lashtal grins at Rikstar
    lashtal: I understand, but sometimes fear teaches us much about ourselves.
    lashtal: Some may say it's a pity not to hear such a lesson.
    lashtal: Allright, welcome everybody.
    lashtal: If you're done with the videos, maybe you got questions or comments before I start?
    Rikstar: I do agree with it.
    Rikstar: And I think that I can't disagree with it since it is a fact.
    lashtal: Tonight's lecture will introduce the concepts of terror, horror and the role of imagination.
    lashtal: Although often confused, terror and horror refer to different states of mind.
    lashtal: Terror is the feeling of dreadful anticipation that precedes the experience.
    lashtal: Such a state usually sharpen your senses, making your body ready for a "fight or flight" reaction.
    lashtal: Terror can be a valuable source of inspiration too, for it may bring our conscience to un-experienced heights.
    lashtal: Horror, on the other hand, is the feeling of revulsion that usually occurs after something frightening is experienced.
    lashtal: Horror is what can freeze you and leave you unable to react.
    lashtal: Terror is characterized by obscurity, indeterminacy, it shouldn't be dressed with too many details.
    lashtal: It is precisely THIS indeterminacy which is amplified by the imagination of the victim.
    lashtal: Imagination is what fills in the missing details and regardless how skilled you are, you'll never find a better dread master than your victim's imagination.
    lashtal: Speaking of this..
    lashtal: I can't help but notice the affinity of such concepts with a mysterious technique that might have to do with fear itself...
    lashtal: I'm talking about Black Water.
    lashtal: I'm about to reveal something many would consider "spoiler", but since it's our 3rd gathering...
    lashtal: Page 4 of Black Water states:
    lashtal: "Black Water isn't actually a real element. Its reality is in the imagination of the user and is amplified by the vulnerability of the subject.
    lashtal: The user of this malevolent device shouldn't keep memories of using it, for those memories would turn inside his body."
    lashtal: As of now, I am not sure Black Water has to do with fear, if it's some sort of conjuration of our dark thoughts... But I can't avoid to relate them.
    lashtal: I'll give you time to ponder on the implications, and the possible relations Black Water has with fear and the role of imagination.
    lashtal: I'll conclude this lecture with a quote, from a director I always appreciated.
    lashtal: "Keep your eyes and ears open.
    lashtal: All we can do is try to frighten you with some fancy powers.
    lashtal: But it is only when you close your eyes, or look away, that we get a grip on you.
    lashtal: Because fear is in your mind.
    lashtal: Behind closed eyes, is where the real terror begins."
    lashtal: [Lars von Trier]
    : *Eagle Eye* failed to cast a spell
    : lashtal was about to sneeze
    AmberRune: Need pepper?
    : *Eagle Eye* smiles
    *Eagle Eye*: Is failed i wonder why?
    : [Spell] screams
    : lashtal eyes Eagle Eye, then Amber
    lashtal: No thanks
    *Eagle Eye*: I cast without your name FAILED
    : Rikstar cheers
    : *Eagle Eye* cheers
    *Eagle Eye*: Lot of heats
    *Eagle Eye*: Thats why failed:)
    *Eagle Eye*: Not allow to cast 11 players Heats Needed
    lashtal: I thank you for being so quiet during the lecture
    lashtal: If anybody has anything to say, I'm here to listen and discuss
    AmberRune: That's why I haven't been playing zombie games late at night in a while
    TheRichMerchant: (i hope you have read the lattest from Princ, fellow marindians)
    *Eagle Eye*: I used to lie in bed in my flat
    *Eagle Eye*: and imagine what would happen if there was a zombie attack.
    lashtal: What would you do EE?
    *Eagle Eye*: Shout and Scream
    lashtal: 'Till they come and get you?
    lashtal: Wouldn't you organize some defense?
    Gljivoje: shout and scream, unorganizations in clutches of horror what might happen, but it still isnt
    *Eagle Eye*: single def
    lashtal: Single def against zombies? Which creature? :-)
    Azrafar: Zombies are just shambling corpses. I wouldn't worry about them too much.
    *Eagle Eye*: Vamfire Priest
    lashtal: I'm with Azrafar
    Rikstar: Other humans are a greater threat!
    Azrafar: I can just outrun them and wait for the military to clean them up.
    Rikstar: ANd if there isn't a military?
    Gljivoje: you must include emotional horrors, variations of current situation
    Azrafar: Then I'll hide, fortify and go hunting.
    AmberRune: Pool cue
    *Eagle Eye*: Culture is just a shambling zombie that repeats what it did in life; bits of it drop off, and it doesn't appear to notice.
    : lashtal looks Eagle Eye in amazement
    Azrafar: I would disagree with Eagle Eye on the culture analogy.
    *Eagle Eye*: :)
    Azrafar: Culture can stagnate, but it can also evolve and adapt quickly if necessary.
    lashtal: I must admit I enjoyed the image rather than the analogy..
    *Eagle Eye*: Culture makes people understand each other better
    *Eagle Eye*: And if they understand better in their soul, it is easier to overcome
    Azrafar: I feel the conversation about zombies and horror just got derailed. :)
    *Eagle Eye*: :)
    : Eon throws the dice and gets 1
    *Eagle Eye*: Hello Eon
    : Eon passed Silver coin to Azrafar
    Azrafar: Thank you, but why?
    *Eagle Eye*: Anyway, Lorerootians up coming training ground you can joined if you like soon
    *Eagle Eye*: back to Zombie
    *Eagle Eye*: We fear death so profoundly, not because it means the end of our body,
    *Eagle Eye*: but because it means the end of our consciousness-better to be a spirit in Heaven than a zombie on Earth
    Eon: .
    Azrafar: True.
    *Eagle Eye*: :P
    Azrafar: I'm tired, so I'll be going now. Thanks for the lecture.
    : Azrafar bows and leaves
    *Eagle Eye*: take a good care
    : *Eagle Eye* bows
    *Eagle Eye*: See you around
    lashtal: Thank you all for coming
