  • I would definitely support fixing the bamboo tiles to function like the other tile sets which require you to step on the house to load the contents.
  • The castle voting is much more of a popularity contest than a design contest.  Simple as that. Personally I think they should just put the custom tool on production.   However, 2 changes that would drastically improve the current contest route wou…
  • Ikeelu said The Cu Sidhe is the only tameable with healing. Um... no it isn’t.
  • Ikeelu said: Petra is confused, by repercussions I mean finish the spawn or die and leave. No hostility. When you pop a spawn how many skulls do you get? 1? Well if I roll to a spawn you let go back to 1 skull I can’t start it with 3-4. Again…
  • In the beginning there was no such thing as insurance on any shard.  Gear was generic and easily replaceable.  Those days are long gone. Personally I think the extreme itemization of gear lends weight to the idea of a PvP shard that includes insura…
  • Food is essential to life... yet I wonder how many people in this discussion grow all of their own food. Most people are very accustomed to finding an area of work which makes a profit for them and using that profit to purchase other items.  This a…

  • My suggestion... .25% block and evasion chance reduction for every point of skill over 770 (12.5% reduction at 820 skill). Remove the dex requirement for block chance but make the dex requirement for shield bash to work at all be 80. Result is th…
  • What would be the point of playing in Fel if they were not eligible for any Fel drops or bonuses?  With insurance it’s not like Fel really has much risk except time as it is. Furthermore, having invulnerable characters working spawns so that the to…
  • They obviously had an issue with adding add-on type items to the moving crate due to it exceeding the storage limits.  Perhaps they could consider adding an “identify and delete” option.  Clearly the house knows something is still placed, so rather …
  • Here is my thought: All vanity mounts should be ressable with a bandage by anyone anywhere, so long as they have not been trained. VvV mounts should also be ressable by bandage by anyone in VvV.  The benefit of the VvV mount should be it’s substan…
  • Increase the drop rate of all artifacts and legendary armor dramatically.... but make them all spawn with the antique property. Higher end suits would be more readily obtained, would still be lootable if you kill someone and would still need to be …
  • If it can be programmed to be allowed on TC, it can be programmed to work in production. Low and behold they did in fact program placement to work on TC.  To argue to can’t be done on production is a red herring.
  • A couple suggestions: -Update the tool to support the larger plot size.  An example is the tool will not recognize a supported floor larger than 19 tiles which limits the size of open plan designs. -Add a little structure to the contest. Ideas inc…
  • The disappointing part of this contest really is the pattern we have seen for the part 10 years or so.... a decent concept with utterly horrible execution. Concept: add some additional housing choices in the keep and castle size footprints.  Allow …
  • I’m not sure how accurate some of these “no spots” posts are... I got on yesterday around noon and in about 10 minutes found a castle spot to place.  Obviously once I placed I didn’t keep looking but... just saying.

  • I’m sorry but until you are ready to suggest that every other class of characters armor/weapons revert to a characters bank box every time they log in, suggesting it for tamers primary armor/weapon is ridiculous. The ONLY time pet auto stabling has…
  • Petra_Fyde said: Auto stable is not a bug, it was put in to avoid people losing their pets when they lost connection for whatever reason. That's not just Kyronix's opinion, it's the TEAM's stand on the question, blaming Kyronix is just 'shoot…

  • Mervyn said: I know EJ accounts can’t gain virtues but can you still gain justice for killing a red that is on an EJ account?  Yes
  • There are several in game usable effects that survive death... whether you want to classify them as “buffs” is debatable. Personally I think of the city bonuses more like the luck bonus from an anniversary statues than a spell effect buff.
  • I love my Necro/Mage/spellweaver: 120 mage 120 eval 120 weaving 120 spirit speak 120 necro 100 scribe 20 med I run a 115+ SDI suit and I keep 120 taming/lore on soul stones. Corpse/flamestrike and wither (or essence of wind) are great.
  • Taming mastery doesn’t seem to raise Lore anymore (at least this was my experience on a recent tamer using a level 1 taming mastery to raise taming skill).
  • Gargoyle Disco/Tamer.   Start 50 taming/50 disco... buy 40 lore, magery, eval and vet.  Tame 4 lowland bouras (high physical resist) and put a couple in the stables to bond.  Hunt rats in the cavern of the discarded while training music, disco, vet…
  • Give this one a vote for worst idea yet in these forums. Lets play football but make it so you can only tackle players with even numbered jerseys... what could go wrong....
