When during /dig or /fish the physical stamina bar reaches 0 (”you are too
exhausted to move”), you stay frozen to the spot forever. Stamina grows back
normally.

Turning, walking, /sit is not possible as if you are still exhausted.

/dig or /fish get the message “You cannot xx because you are already busy”.

Client version 0.5.1.1, tested on Vista 32 bit and Linux 32 bit

At the moment, the tutorial rats are very strong in comparison with most newly created characters, leading to a lot of frustration for new players.

As a tutorial helper I have witnessed several characters needing 5 minutes and more for a single rat with melee. With other players, I grouped, because they were not able to defeat the rat at all and got killed when they tried alone. My char is an untrained Kran (= one of the strongest newborn chars you can get) and can defeat the rats with melee, barely. And to get the hide neccessary for the quest, you normally need to kill several of them.

You can buy a dagger from Ibhaar before the fight, but at that point, you have not been taught yet how to do that. Neither have you been told about grouping. So most newbies face the rats alone and bare-handed or even wield their pickaxe which weakens their melee damage even further.

So in my opinion, it would be nice to have a weaker copy of the one-eyed rats for the tutorial. Maybe add a warning, that the rats “outside” will be stronger?

Not really a bug but extremely annoying:
The rogue in the house next to the bakery in Ojaveda (Akk-Central at ~ -73.5, 5, 33.25) makes the baking equipment there nearly impossible to use. He spawns so fast that practically each transformation step gets interrupted ba the fight.

I went ahead and made some jam, here’s what I found:

1 pound of Sweet Apple Mash transforms into 40×0.01 = 0.4 pound of Apple Jam
Since water evaporates while cooking, I guess that’s okay.

but:

Sweet Joopiner Mash (1 pound) → 40×1 = 40 pounds of Joopiner Berry Jam
Sweet Macca Mash (1 pound) → 40×1 = 40 pounds of Macca Jam
Couldn’t test the weight of Terevan Berry Mash/Jam because I ran out of berries.

Well, what the title says.

There’s a hole in the left shoulder, the right one seems okay.

When I try to fish with my left hand, I get the normal “busy” message and the animation. However, on completion, I get “You were not successful since you no longer have the tool.” Seems to be intended that fishing is only possible with the right hand, but the implementation is incomplete?

All kinds of fish have the same price. (NPCs give 4 trias.)
Yet, the description of crayfish reads “…extremely valuable…very rare and difficult to catch…“.
Also, the description of trouts (”moderately rare”) suggests that they should be at least a little more pricey
than ordinary fish and carp.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Log in.
2. Select an account.
3. Logout again without entering the game first.
4. Login screen still shows ping, but when you try to log in, you get “Your client has disconnected…“.

Win32 client on Vista32

Since 0.5.4.9 or 10 (I got them both simultaneausly today), the char display in the inventory (podium map?)
is way too big. I can see only parts of my char.
The display of the same map(?) in char creation seems fine.

(Vista 32bit, release client)

It still says:
“Your client has disconnected … check laanx.fragnetics.com”

Right now, it it possible to keep multiple accounts in the login screen by editing some .cfg file.
It would be nice to allow to do this via the GUI.

Crafting messages and messages from the Server Admin, use the same “channels”, i.e. they appear in the system tab and in bold green or red in the middle of the screen.

While I understand that admin or GM messages need to be as “loud” as possible, I do not need the game shouting at me that the eggs are done with the same intensity. Especially when you craft multiple copies of the same item at once, those message almost fill the whole screen. I have to wait until they are gone before I can continue.

It would be nice if we had an option to ban the crafting messages just to the system tab.

There are roads painted on the map, but they are not in the usual places. Instead,
they run senselessly up and down the hills. And where does the bright yellow rectangle belong?
(In black: Where approximately the roads belong, very inaccurate.)

During the quest “Making Leather Armor”, the quest giver tells you where you can get training for armor making. That’s nice of him. However, when you start at level 0, it comes too late, because you cannot arrive at that quest stage without training first.
Better have him say it when he tells you how to sew leather armor patches.

In one version of the updated quest “Harnquist is hungry”, he wants honey and bread. The quest text hints that both can be found either in the tavern or at the bakery in the arena. There is indeed plenty of bread in both places. But unless I’m missing something, there is no vendor for honey in Hydlaa.

Since this quest is supposed to be suitable for very beginners, please add honey to Hydlaa or adapt the quest to something that can be found in the city.

It seems that the cutting of apples was changed lately:
Before, you got one “Sliced Apple” from cutting an “Apple”, now you get 4 (presumably apple quarters).

The number was changes, but the item weights and following recipes were not.
Issues I found so far:

1.)
‘Apple’ weight 0.250
‘Sliced Apple’ weighs 0.200 , making 0.800 in total
I suggest to keep the Apple weight and make the slices lighter, maybe 0.060 ~ 0.250/4

2.) The recipe for Sweet cinammon apple slices:
Combine 1 sliced apple with 2 dash of cinnamon and 1 Scoop of strimptor - this now equals 1/4 of an apple, not a whole one anmore
Mix cinnammon apple mix into 4 sweet cinnamon apple slices - those slices must be tiny now!
Suggestion: Combine 4 sliced apples with the rest.

Complete cooking gear in Gugrontid. Yay!
Sadly, every container I tried (preparation table, stove, various bowls) gives me the “This item cannot be added” message.

When you type /report and for get to add a name,
you get “You must enter the text” This is rather confusing. I suggest:
“You must enter a name.”

The key bindings for Brightness Control are under
Options→Controls→Keys→Movement.
Shouldn't it rather be
Options→Controls→Keys→Camera instead?

It says “bamboo rice cooking”, same as for the cooking bamboo rice.
But the cooking is already done at this point.

The screen with the motd has an additional text message in the lower right corner.
When the text in that box is too long, it becomes cut off and a scrollbar appears.

But you can’t scroll down, because you can’t use your mouse in that screen.

Adult Gorweal: “You see a Sapling Gorweal in front of you named Adult Gorweal” Elder Gorweal: “You see a Sapling Gorweal in front of you named Elder Gorweal”

Also: Why a adults smaller than saplings?

A small niggle about the very first text box in the tutorial:
“If you need help from our staff, use the Help tab.”

This might give the wrong impression that all advisors are GMs, leading to
possible disappointment when we can’t help right away because no “real” GM
is there but just mortal advisors.
I suggest simply leaving out the words “from our staff”

(I can’t set the priority, but it looooooooow ;) )

You smell an overhelming stanch and you are nauseated.
Should be:
You smell an overWhelming stEnch and you are nauseated.

You smell a powerful stanch but you resist its effects.
The nauseating stanch fades away and you feel better.
should be: stEnch

Yay, tribes! I spend an hour playing catch with the eagle gobbles at the carp pond near Gugrontid. <3

However, their less friendly serpent gobble cousins at the other side of the pond are slightly hindered by the new behaviour.
When I approach them, the following happens more often than not:
1. Serpent Gobbles says: Bad, bad. You bad.
2. Serpent Gobble attack (where’s the “s” btw?) Kryolus with normal stance.
3. Serpent Gobble resumes frolicking around without trying to hit me even once.

If I stand around long enough to be eventually attacked and defend myself, he cries “Enemy! Enemy! Alert!” But this also does not change the behaviour of his two friends.

My “dishes with fishes” says:

“Mix Cleaned Bream into 2 Filleted Bream using Wooden Bowl with a Wooden Spoon.”

That’s a rather interesting way to do it.

In the recipe for Clamod Perch and Rat Stew is a combination step that does not work:

Combine Fried Stew Mix, 2 Water Pouchs, Diced Threestem Fruit, Pinch of Salt, between 4 and 1 Pile of Diced Rat Meat, between 4 and 1 Diced Perchss into 1 Uncooked Perch and Rat Stew.

(Apparently the same issue as with Kikiri soup in #5891)

I just accidentally drank my whole stack of mana potions. Only the first one affected me, the rest merely vanished ("nothing happens"), so that part is as it should be. The accidental disappearance of the rest of the stack is rather inconvenient, though.
It would make more sense if you could consume only one item at a time.
(Game version 0.6.3)

A 500g loaf of bread gives 5 50g bread slices = 250g.
I remember that it was 10 slices before, which would fit
with the weight and is also more a more realistic number for a
whole loaf.

Both icon and model are blue, despite the name.

One that slipped through:

Barberry Root (weight 0.100) → 25 Pinch of Barberry (25×0.500=12.500)

(Book: Dishes with Fishes)

Only a small detail (0.6.3):

I just "ate" juiceberry juice and felt more robust. Changing the system message to "You drink …" as it already seems to be for the teas would be more appropriate.

At the end of his quest, Xargon suggests, that there is more to learn in the tutorial,
especially a bulletin board.

I’ve met several new players, deperately looking for said bulletin board or other things
to do.

I suggest to leave out that part, until the bulletin board or other things to explore
are actually added to the tutorial.

In the custom path, when I select a birth month, the description
below doesn’t match the selection in the list.

For example:
When I select Azhord, I get the description for Unodin.
Byari actually gives the description for Byari, though, I can’t see a pattern here.

Abelia still asks you to tell her “give me a quest”.
But when you do, she gives the “sorry, might ba a typo”-speech.

She should rather tell you to right-click and select the mouth icon now
to reflect the changes in the quest system.

(Found no other problems in the rest of her text.)

A collection of bugs and nitpicks I found in Naeve’s tutorial quest.
(I hope there are no doubles, the search function doesn’t like me, I can’t find some bugs which I know are there. :S)

1st quest stage:

• a typo: “Your <playername> right?” should read You’re / You are instead.

2nd stage: “How to use furnace”

• “Go to Options, Controls, Keys. /For mouse Ctrl-Click set the button next to context menu then save.” The context menu entry is under Options→Controls→Mouse, not keys.

• “Now you need to open your inventory with the icon found in the middle of the furnace window…” The icon is on the left-hand side in the present default gui.

• “Now, feel free to have a play, but don’t actually melt anything will you.” Why not? (If I remember right, in the old version, you even had to melt the ore and give it back to her.)

3rd stage: Mining. No niggles.

4th and last:

• typo: “Anyway, good luck with the crafting and dont forget to have fun!” should read “don’t”.

• On top of the rockpick (wich she mentions), Naeve also gives you 20 Octas without saying it.

Did not find much here, but anyway.

• Player says: Are you the one who can teach me how to fight?. ← an additional full stop

• Excelent! should be “Excellent”

• After you kill (or not) the rat: “That wasnt to painful, was it.” → wasn’t, and there is a “?” after “was it” missing, I believe.

• “Ibhaar Senad hands you a new short sword.” Actually, he lets you choose between a short sword, a dagger and an axe. He also gives you 20 Hexas without mentioning it.

Here’s what I found in Xargon’s dialogue:

• Xargon Guurn says: As a very simple example, the game displays the names of other players you encounter above their heads, so, you, the player, knows (should be “know”) it.

• Xargon Guurn says: On the top of your chat window, you should see a ‘Help’ button. Buttons are on the left in current default gui.

• Xargon lets you choose between a sabre, leather pants and an Air Glyph. Since you get an Air Glyph already from Orphia, this would be the second one. Maybe offer another Glyph instead?

• Xargon Guurn says: Now, there is more to be learned here in the tutorial area./Xargon Guurn says: If you wish to continue learning, just explore./Xargon Guurn says: I suggest you check out the bulletin board. If you have finished all quests up to here, there’s not much elso to do or see in the tutorial area at present. I looked long for the bulletin board and even wondered if maybe he means the forum at hydlaaplaza.com here, until Pizik informed me that it was planned but doesn’t exist (yet?).

After talking to Jefecra for the first time, you can go immediately to the suspect and ask him about p, skipping at least one stage of dialogue. Also, Both J. and the suspect refer to that missed dialogue.

Some of the missed dialogue can be heard later out of order e.g. from Miss A. A.

Player says: Hereâare the crystals.
… Jardet Forsill says: Once he shows you what the ritual should look like, come back and tell me that Azarnith showed you ritual.
(missing “the” at the end) (fixed on test server)

In the quest “Chrosor has difficulties training” Tilavi seems to have Reffitia’s dialogue as well as her own:

After I talked to Fruntar, Tilavi had two dialogue options to tell her that “Brado found a *beep*.
One of them provoked a text “…and goes back to her cooking….”. Since Reffitia is the only one cooking
there, this must be her text.

(First bug report, I hope I’m doing this right…)

A Saffron weighs 0.2 weight units, after measuring it into pinches, I get 40×1 = 40 (!) weight units.
Three other spices I tested behaved a lot more logical. (Can provide a list if requested and/or test more).

I noticed several oddities in the preparation of Tinga tea:

1. For one mug of tea, I need 2×1 = 2 pounds/kilos of Tinga Leaves. That must be some strong brew!

2. Those two pounds costs 2×27 = 54 trias when I buy them. And Reffitia pays 4 trias for a mug of tea.

3. Unlike most food ingredients, the item “Tinga Leaves” does not have to be cut, cleaned, scooped or otherwise portioned before further use.

Taken separately, 1. would likely be just a typo, 2. imbalance and 3. an intended feature.
But taken together, it looks to me as if a portioning step for Tinga Leaves was planned
first and then forgotten. At least this would explain all three issues at once.

Found another database error:
carrot weighs 0.2
sliced carrot weights 2.0

(This is most likely another missing comma, just as in #1537)

In the tutorial (female Nolthrir, quick creation),
Abelia Aruine repeats her greeting “Welcome to Planeshift….
say ‘Hi’ when you approach her to get the book for Neave.

This might be confusing for new players, because at this
point, the correct answer to her is not ‘Hi’ but asking
for the book.

Tested this with bread slice and apple:

On the right table in Refitia’s kitchen are three wooden bowls.
Only this one accepts the food, the others say “This item cannot be added to this container” http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u301/Minks_bucket/shot46.jpg

Same at Orchibaly’s. the picture again has the working bowl highlighted.
