Hmm. I'm distraught.

Seems you can't make deer or bear masks with runic properties.

Shitty. Seems there's more to the mask types than meets the eye. Methinks red's going to have more craft system nightmares.

I decided I'll just redo craft system, its just too much of a mess. RunUO people really fucked that one up. Booze/illegal drugs and programming DO NOT go together. When I redo the way AoS props work I'll most likely redo craft system too. I have HUGE projects on my plate for the future of AoV

I want to get going with my web hosting before I touch any of that so we're talking a good couple months 1/2 year before I touch the big systems.

Eventually we'll have most of the major RunUO stuff totally rewritten and we'll probably be able to officially call it something else and release it to public even, though I have no plans at this moment to release all the source code, perhaps parts of it, like the peerless system, maybe. (Not that it works out of the box anyway, depends on lot of other custom systems too)

They likely needed incentive and motivation and ground up some herbs then sang a few rounds of "Painted Black" before realizing they were supposed to be coding.

Either that or they have no excuse for the poor coding.

Okay.

SO.... how about....making the luna vendors slower or better yet, stationary?

I'm sick of dropping shit on the ground for annoying asshats to scavenge when I'm trying to do a quest or turn in a BOD. I can't tell you how many times, when I release the item or stack of ingots etc, the damn vendor takes ONE step away and my shits on the ground.

Wandering healers I can understand...it's in their job description.

Well, we could but NPCs get pissy and threaten to report us for violating NPC workers' rights for working in a non-stationary environment.

They're still trying to sue us for taking away those little white hats.....

I almost got in trouble already for forcing herbalists to stop taking so many smoke breaks. something about "infringement of personal needs".

Most likely not. That would involve totally redesigning the internal movement AI system. Best bet is just drop it as soon as they did a move, as they always stop for a few seconds then move again.

Probably not. Towns wouldn't seem as natural if they didn't walk around. Perhaps red can modify the code so that instead of dragging the bag, you talk to the NPC again and they take the bag.

Alright...pretty pissed at this one.
My char seems to be bugged to shit. all I can dig up is bronze and copper. I've gone around the whole Honor shrine part in ilsh and wasted 3 garg axes on NOTHING but copper and bronze.

Which leads me to the next complaint...

Copper elems reflect damage WAAAY too much. 95% of my hits are fully reflected. Basically another goddamn bloodoath effect.

They reflect 50% of the damage you inflict with melee. They will always reflect it. If you hit for 60 damage, they will reflect 30 of damage back to you. The trick is not to hit them with your hardest weapon. If you're using elemental slayers like bows and weapons BADDDDDDD idea.

Hit with smaller, less damaging weapons and concentrate on defense. Lethal poison is useful if you can inflict it as they will not reflect it and they have no immunity to level 5 poisons. Also, don't forget about using conflagaration potions, explosion potions and igniting coal to help damage them.

Fair enough.

Is there a way to see the current items and their amounts on the server? I'm curious as to how many Ruined Paintings exist, as well as a few other items.

There is. There's a tabulation system that's generated every so often (I believe it's daily). Runs a tally of all server items and their % on the server. I don't think the link is available to players as it's more of a dev tool to see if some items are spawning too much (Like the 50000 bandage incident that red fixed). You'd have to ask red if he's willing to post that link or not.

Ya, server stats were removed a while back. Forget the exact reason but I believe it was utilizing too much of the server.

I had made em stackable on my dev environment but there's more to them than that. Unless you want your pile of water gems to all vanish when you go to recharge something, then they'll take awhile

. There's also a change to davy jone's key that will be made so that's something else to add.

Moonstone's are a pain because of the trammel/felucca thing so those are more complex than they seem too.
