Feature Request5701NoCraftingMediumNewrodrigo moraesBad user experience: automatic stacking and merging hig...18.12.201231 Task Description

I’m a new user and I just had a very frustrating experience, so I want to propose an improvement.

I requested a guild mate to craft me some chain armor, and when I got it done I picked the Arm piece i was wearing and tried to exchange by the new one. By the gods, the quality-50 armor merged with the quality-300 one and I got two quality-175 armors. Without any confirmation.

I think the merge-on-stack system is fine for many crafting situations, but merging armor stats is a unexpected one. I fail to see why one would want to merge a higher armor with a much lower one. This doesn’t even make sense: if you mix water and herbs it’s ok that you get an infusion, but you can’t mix a chain mail with another one to instantly get two different ones.

I requested a GM to revert the stats and he said that this is the same situation as when one sells or gives away an item by mistake. I think it is not the same thing. This is not a mistake; it is common to exchange items in the inventory to organize or save space, and having these “side-effects” in place can make a simple inventory management a surprisingly bad experience for new users like me. :(

TL;DR:

1. Please review if it really makes sense to merge armors or weapons. I don’t see the use for it, and it sounds illogical, but probably I’m missing something.

2. Please consider adding a confirmation to actions with clearly bad side effects during inventory management, to avoid the frustration, specially for new users.

3. Please consider adding a toggle/checkbox to the inventory to turn on/off automatic item merging (disabled by default to avoid sad surprises like mine).

Thanks for all the hard work, guys. :)

Feature Request6250NoUpdater/PSLaunchMediumNewMario RohkrämerJoe LyonTemporary privilege elevation during update?09.12.201431 Task Description

I hope it is technically possible to programmatically request a further execution of the launcher as administrator to be able to exchange binaries in UAC protected directories (%ProgramFiles% or %ProgramFiles(x86)% under Windows Vista/7/8…); and may it just be by the launcher calling itself as a new instance executed under the Administrator account.

Other platforms than Windows may require a similar solution.

Feature Request6821NoCrafting TransformationsMediumNewKaerli StronwylleAdditional jewelry metals31.12.201732 Task Description

Right now, the only jewelry metals available in the game are gold, silver, and platinum, which leaves Ynnwn out in the cold RPwise. Considering that IRL, copper alloys (brasses and bronzes both) were and are still used for jewelrymaking – it would be logical to add those at some point down the road, to provide at least *one* Ynnwn-compatible option…

Feature Request1590NoInventory/ItemsLowNewElectricsheepTrade between players should be visible to all in sight...24.01.201021 Task Description

How about making it visible in Main if Players exchange items?
A system message appears to the ones trading anyways at this moment.
the message to others should however have some less precision, like:

 "<PlayerA> gave <PlayerB> Weapons and some coinage in exchange for raw materials"
 for someone trading a crafted longsword, a dagger, 2 hexa and a tria against 45 platinum ore and a silver ingot.

this in order to keep realism (can all see how many circles and tria he pushed into the other persons hand?)
the message could use the item_category, and eliminate doubles, so it could be done without giant changes to the database.

the advantages I would see in this:

 1.) there will be visible interaction between players. no more pure tell-based sales that (imho) are pretty ooc.
     Noone IRL (and especially not in the middle ages) would go into a shop and whisper in the cashiers ear what he whishes to sell or buy.
     Instead people going into a shop (not a supermarket) usually say good day followed by a statement on what they seek to buy (maybe even some smalltalk).
     Neither would such item exchange go unnoticed by other people in the shop or near the exchange.
     So I think it would add to realism. Unless the character you play would be blind.
 2.) Stealthy and sneaky exchanges of goods would have to take place in dark alleys, like sneaky things should be done.
 3.) Hopefully the messages in main would encurage Players to take the general and casual trade-talk into main as well,
     instead of hiding it in tells in order to not 'disturb' other players. 
     If IRL there are others talking near you, you step away a little to give and have more privacy as well.
 4.) It also would surely add some spying capabilities into the game, as it then could indeed be seen to all around who trades with who.
     This will make it possible to IC-ly spy on others trade behaviours. This without the need of having to be telling or grouping with the ones spied on. 

disadvantages:

 1.) Anyone could see who would trade with who, people who use quest runners would have to find a reason why they would get items for free.. 
     (or take the trade to a dark alley).
 2.) Someone could 'spam' the main-channel with trade messages. (but that's easier by sitting and standing up, or by dropping items and pick them up)
 3.) some things I probably didn't thik about yet. feel free to add..

Overall I think it would rather add to RP then desturb it.
For slipping items to others unnoticed, there could/should be a ‘/givesecret’ option that would use the numbers behind the pickpocket/sneaking skills.

Feature Request1804NoLowNewQia FaskUse of containers holding liquids is unrealistic (mugs,...06.07.201322 Task Description

Mugs are a staple of RP for many people, but their use is currently quite unrealistic – you “drink” away a solid glass object.

What I proprose to fix this may not be purely realistic, but at least makes sense.

When an object is consumed, it should leave behind an “empty” (mug, potion bottle, jar, etc.) which will appear in the inventory. The cost of items which come in containers should be increased, as “deposit” or sorts, like when people buy pop or beer in real life. People would be able to sell the empty back to reclaim their deposit.

In the case of mugs of alcohol, they could be strewn about on the table as the drinking goes on, so people know who’s been drinking too much. There wouldn’t be any worry about “littering”, as there would always be someone willing to pick up after and return them to Allelia or Brado for the deposit money.

If this is implemented, it would also allow for future features like being able to return to Allelia or Brado for a “refill” without needing to pay the deposit. Same for potions and other items that are sold in containers.

Also the possibility of putting other liquids into the containers. It would be neat for example to be able to stop by the secret garden and fill up a bottle, mug or bucket with fresh water from the pool (it could be done by the usual right-click method on an object).

I feel these sorts of things would help improve the RP and realism a great deal.

It would be nice if it was possible to zoom sketches when looking at them. This would also be useful when you get a sketch/map which is too big for your screen and allows you to have the entire image on screen by reducing zoom.

The included patch allows the user to zoom from 1/10 to 10x the map increasing the size of every element on screen.
The buttons used for this are > and < if someone has a better suggestion about them or thinks that having the increase/decrease zoom on screen would be useful i could add them.

Feature Request2658NoInventory/ItemsMediumNewgiveitem command for players26.03.20092 Task Description

Syntax: /giveitem [PlayerName] [Qty|All] <ItemName> [Any]

  • Playername is optional, otherwise default to selected target, fail if none selected
  • Quantity is optional, default to 1, All gives all in inventory/equipped
  • ItemName required, quotes needed for multi-word item names as in “Platinum Ore”
  • Any is optional, allows items in containers to be given. Omitting this protects containered items from being given accidentally, allowing players to put things in sacks or other containers that they want to keep safe, same as the Drop command.

Similar to GM giveitem, but with the following restrictions:

  • player and target must be in touch range
  • player and target may be sitting or standing
  • player and target must not be otherwise busy (fighting/crafting/repairing/etc.)
  • no restriction for target being overburdened (available slot/stack/capacity limits still apply, see Caveats below)
  • similar to PVP, players should have persistent selectable option for receiving given item(s): Always Accept / Prompt to Accept (default) / Never Accept

Along with the command, make Give an option to context menu, which opens a slot window same or similar to that which one gets when giving to an NPC.

Justification:

  • Smoother and faster RP (P1 gives P2 a beer)
  • Merchant assistant holding extra inventory gives things to merchant for a sale

Caveats:

  • Makes using mules a little easier, as in an unattended mule with Always Accept can become a dump bucket for loot or Ore, however current trade rules allow this already, the only difference is that the mule must be attended to complete the trade, while not for receiving a Give. Eventual random spawns of monsters will mitigate this for loot, and miners still have to move all the collected ore to wherever it is to be processed or sold. IMHO the benefits to RP outweigh this issue, since miners have already worked around unattended trading to some degree, either by mAlting or dropping stacks while guarding in proximity.

Extending the idea, add a die-roll chance for target and near proximity observers to be made aware of the exchange. Giver’s Int. and Agility should apply, and Target’s Int. and Observer’s Int. should apply but I’ll leave it to devs to work out how to implement. Any exchange that is more than 1 single item should incrementally raise the chance of being observed. One might still have a good chance of slipping a couple daggers into someone’s pack, but a stack of 20 Ore would be nearly impossible not to notice. Sleeping target might also factor in.

A further extension might be an optional Sneak parameter whereby the Giver attempts to be especially discrete in the exchange, thus lowering the chance to be observed by the target or near proximity observers, but this should be mitigated by quantity as above.

Feature Request3553NoEngineMediumNewPascal DetraitIdea proposition for Drawing skill16.02.20102 Task Description

Hi,

the Drawing skill is not yet available.
I propose the following idea for developpers :

   Each save could rise the skill experience
   Each new created sketch could rise the skill experience, significatively more than the save function
   Each rank could rise the number of allowed element in the sketch
   Each "special" rank (defined by developpers) reached could allow new elements (ie. curves defined by 3 points, new icons, symbols, legend, several pages in the same map ...)

Best regards

1. The “Cone” On the Energy Arrow Is faced in one direction As in the visual effect right after the energy arrow hits the target (Im sure im not the only one who see’s this wrong?)
2. When Dropping Stacks Of Items Like Pants There is an extra “ES” at the end. Alot Of Items Have The Extra “ES” at the end, that should not be there.

I Had A couple Questions and Requests :)
1. Someway to Turn off the red dropping notifications like.>”You are to far away to attack” and ““**” Has nothing to be looted”. maybe a way to just have it in the system tab.(Asked in help tab, unknown, If someone knows how please tell me lol, thanks!)
2. An NPC Or something In Game That could tell you detailed Information about weapons/quest items and things of that nature, (I have seen the Book in the musium, but I haven’t really studied it yet, and maybe incomplete?)

  It would be really cool if you could go to an npc and hand them what you found, have them give you 2 lines about the sword and what it does. Or even a book from a quest where you can i.d it, have it unidentified untill you take it to an npc and pay them a really small fee to i.d it. (Not complaining at all but I have kept all of my named items I have looted since I have started playing. they are awsome! :D But I want to organize :) please? :D I want to sell them but I dont want to sell something for 10,000 and find out that it was really special. haha with my Inventory im sure I could write the book!

If you want to comment on this aswell, up to you. I will be blunt to the point:
I have seen leather working Implimented But Famiel Is the one and only charature I will have. But He is Forbidden to work with Furs/Hides other then looting for sale. he wants to start making his own armor, so I ask/Hope there is a way to bypass leather armor and make Medium/Heavy Arms/Boots/Gloves when it gets implimented

Bug Report5790NoQuests DynamicsHighNewVenalanQuest menus dissapear to quickly to click on responese.15.10.20142 Task Description

Bug Report5813NoModels and MapsMediumNewRoman YagodinAbacus icon in "Kilas wants his Abacus Back"09.02.201321 Task Description

1) Abacus quest item in “Kilas wants his Abacus Back” looks like some sort of globus…

2) It is not clear from Crosh’s explanations, that numeric base he uses with 7-th beads abacus. It can be both 7 or 8, so right answer may be 64 (base 8) or 49 (if base 7 is used). If base 7 is used, the whole beads line is moved back (left) in same operation with moving its last 7-th bead to the right. Same alhorithm is used in real Russian abacus, which have 10 beads in a line for 10-th base calculations.

Maybe, 2) is not a bug, but it requires some more “out of game” explorations, than player may expect, or just “brute force” enumeration of possible aanswers. So, Crosh’s explanations about his calculations must be more clear:

Now: “When they’re all to the right, I move them all back and move bead in a second line…“
Must be like: “When they’re all to the right, and I need to count one more day, I move them all back and move bead in a second line…“

Feature Request6029NoCraftingLowNewHirene PenifurNew skill: creating magical scrolls19.08.202226 Task Description

I think it would be nice if mages would be able to make magic scrolls, on the same patterns as you can enchant gems, you could enchant a paper by spells.

Then anyone could use that scroll to cast magic without magical knowledge, so a crafter or fighter character could use identifing, healing or other type of spells.
The power of the spell and the duration would depend on the quality of the scroll, and that on the way level of the mage who created it.

Scroll would be crafted from papers on the same way as you make enchanted crystals from gems.
It could use an ‘intermediate object’ or multiple glyph enchanting on a single paper would do it too.
For example, if a spell is a 3 glyph combination then the crafter would need to use those 3 glyphs (in the right order?) to apply the spell on the scroll.

Using the scrolls would work through the /use command.
/use Scroll of Healing Flash
/use Scroll of Analyze Dweomer
/use Scroll of Fist of the Volcano

The script should consider what is targeted, if an item is targeted, you could use identifing, if a mob or player has been targeted you could use the spell on the target too for attacking or buffing.
You also would be able to cast spells on other players that are only allowed now to cast on yourself like Dome of Perfection.

I already discussed it with weltall, who doesn’t see technical limitations in implementation yet.

Feature Request2631NoMovementMediumNewElvors AmenorasRunning up slopes should be more taxing26.03.20091 Task Description

I consider it unrealistic how terrain is (not) interacting with movement.

As far as I know, in real life, every meter up is as taxing as ten meters across. (The factor of 10 is from a schoolbok, it might be a good idea to verify this from a professional source.)
Going downwards requires concentration to avoid slipping and falling, and a surprisingly large amount of strength to absorb the shock from “falling” the height would lose with every step. (Walk down 250 metres of a moderately steep slope with a backpack on your shoulders and you’ll know what I mean.)

In terms of game mechanics, this would mean:
* When running upwards, the speed should decrease and stamina loss should increase, and the cumulative effect of these two changes should be drastic. It’s possible to trade one change for the other: keeping the speed unchanged and massively increasing stamina loss would force players to rest, keeping the stamina loss constant would call for a massive speed reduction. However, I think it should be a little of both since that causes interesting effects (see below under “game experience”).
* When walking downwards, there should be no stamina loss (you can make the physics work for you), and you should be faster, but you lose mental stamina. The less your mental stamina is, the higher the probability of slipping and falling. If you fall on a too-steep slope, you continue skidding. Falling should do damage that’s proportional to the total weight (character + load), blunt damage (not much help from armor); skidding should do damage-over-time, armor protecting fully (essentially this is abrasive damage, which is similar to slash - but don’t give characters armor training from that).

In terms of game experience, this would mean:
* Getting up on a slope is a time-consuming experience, and almost never worth avoiding the walk around the hill. People will stay on the paths in the valleys. This will cause more interaction between normal travellers (and make Cutthroat Lane work better for the Cutthroads, too). It will also make people who leave the road more likely to remain undetected.
* The Settings team can make NPCs less accessible and less likely to be found by placing them on a hilltop, or in a valley behind mountain pass.
* Players with maxed stats have less issues with upward slopes than newbies, but they will still avoid slopes unless they have reason to.
* Hilltops will become a tactical advantage. An attacker will need far more time to reach a defender on the top, and expose himself to ranged combat for a longer time. (Take this into consideration when reducing the effectiveness of long-range combat spells; ideally, a mage would win against a fighter from a hilltop, and lose against a fighter on even ground.)
* Hilltops also become a bit of a trap. Defenders forced to flee from a hilltop risk falling and getting overwhelmed.
* Pursuing down a hilltop is problematic due to risk of falling. Defenders might want to hide a pursuit team in a nearby valley that’s near the height of the route of the attackers, though that would force them to split up forces. Decisions, decisions… which means tactical variation, which is a Good Thing when it comes to making the combat aspects of the game interesting :)
* Reaching the Eagle Bronze Doors takes a lot of time already, making them even less reachable will no doubt make many players very unhappy. An alchemist that sells stamina regeneration potions at the bottom of the path up would help with that.

Just my 5 cents :)
(and no, I don’t expect this to be implemented anytime soon :D )

Feature Request2667NoUser InterfaceLowNewTimmehAdd [Away] tags to /who list28.06.202213 Task Description

It would be convenient if you were to do a /who Timmothy and I had autoreply on it would return

Timmothy [Away] Guild

Currently, I find the /away command rather useless, as you’d have to /tell the person who’s away, not knowing for sure if they’re even away. But with it in the /who, you can find out if someone is away, then send a /tell to find out the reason/how long.

Feature Request2721NoUser InterfaceLowNewAndyPlayer shops - Trade functions for guarded items28.06.202211 Task Description

Function to set a guarded item as sellable, with price.

/sellitem name price

Confirmation for sale, confirming price to purchaser.
Confirmation text message/description in main when sale has occurred.

Would need at least a button visible in context menu to initiate sale.
Set item for sale and price could be command-line, that’d still work.

Feature Request2767NoUser InterfaceMediumNewAndySaving throw commands for Roleplay20.02.20091 Task Description

Saving throw commands for Roleplay

Example:

/dodge

ROLL =< AGI results in “[player] dodges.” ROLL > AGI results in “[player] does not dodge.”

/jump

ROLL =< AGI results in “[player] makes jump.” ROLL > AGI results in “[player] misses jump.”

/sing

ROLL =< CHA results in “[player] sings a lovely song.” ROLL > CHA results in “[player] lets out an awful screech!”

ROLL = random(200)

Might also be expressed like…

/saving agi dodge dodges|does not dodge
/saving agi jump makes jump|misses jump
/saving cha sing sings a lovely song|lets out an awful screech!

Variations on this are almost endless and could apply to any stat or skill. Saving throw commands are designed to be used by a single player, with the results shown in the channel originating the command.

Feature Request2777NoQuests DynamicsLowNewweltallRizinShared Quests12.07.20091 Task Description

There should be a way for players in groups to share quests they are doing. So they could talk with others about them and do them together. All will get the quest complete when they complete the task given by the npc (and maybe a copy of the reward for each one): this could make quest allow players to socialize more.
The biggest problems in implementation could be the case in which quests might overlap, the fact players might want to chose the quest they want to share and the variations which could be in dialogs when talking with a group of people versus a single one.
The players will get the shared quests added automatically even if they didn’t have them provided they have the correct prerequisites

Feature Request2778NoQuests DynamicsLowNewweltallGroup Quests01.04.20101 Task Description

This is an entirely new class of quests where the person or persons who originally get the quest are asked to form a group to solve some more complicated task or martial challenge. Once the quest is completed each member can then “turn it in” or go to the originating NPC for a reward. Unlike shared quests, it will be impossible to finish grouped quests without the aid of other players. This is intended to promote teamwork and to give a more deep and realistic experience to players.

Feature Request2951NoGM SystemMediumNewA. Kiefner/petition improvements28.06.20221 Task Description

1. Ability to teleport to the player from the petition window
2. Player side: /petition should open the petition window with a short introducing text (in another text window?) how to use the petitions (not to post wishlist items there, how to use (possible) categories..)
3. There should be a drop-down menu for selecting a category [Not Specified; Movement; Bugreport; Name; Event; Harassment; Quest; Miscellaneous] to classify the report. This could be used for statistical purposes post-process as well.
4. A button to mark the petition as URGENT which will add a parseable <star><star> URGENT<star><star> (<star> = *)to the header of the petition so our post-processing tools (aka gmbot) can forward/poke outside the game. (This is important!)
5. Before the petition is finished there should be a preview to check everything again, to make last changes.
6. As long as the petition is unassigned the button shows “claim”, once claimed the button shows “release” to unassign the petition again.

Request from  FS#3092 :

“In the GM petition window, there should be a button ‘Guidelines for petitioning’ and when you click it, it gives just that. Guidelines for petitioning.

I recently filed a petition and didn’t know what to include, what was superfluous, whether it was too long winded or not, etc.”

Request from  FS#3101 :

“We need enhanced petition system to allow adding several notes and note titles, as well as ability to review closed petitions.
The ability to add several notes to a petition would also help us handle an issue, then log off, but leave notes for other GM’s to review what we have done and pick up / complete.”

Feature Request3081NoGM SystemVery LowNewRizinTeleport Mod (Or Event)28.06.20221 Task Description

Possible addition of the ability to teleport all PC’s enrolled in an event at once to avoid accidentally grabbing a passer by with the area option.

Feature Request3511NoEngineMediumNewSeytraIdeas for inventory accessibility15.02.201011 Task Description

While sacks and other containers are good for bulk storage, they have the significant drawback of making the inventory harder to navigate, and sorting as well, especially since one can always only have exactly one container window open.

To fix this, one might consider the following ideas:

1) allow any number of container windows to be open, so one can simply put stuff from one container into another, instead of having to put it into the main inventory first.

2) instead, make the container window, once opened, refresh by what container you click on, instead of having to go the rightclick-select-open route

3) instead, make any containers append to the main inventory slot space, but replace the first slot with an image of the container, and clearly separate the appended areas from each other and from the main inventory space by a diferent frame style (could be different for each container type), or at least some additional space. Also, slot spaces that are not provided by a container should remain blank so that a container always starts at the first (second) slot of a fresh line.

When selecting a container, the appropriate window / slot area frame should flash or something so that one sees which container has which window.

4) Let container windows be resizable, and possibly more compact by default.

Mounts

Having each mount have an own (player-accessible) inventory would allow:

1) armor / other enhancement slots for the mount
2) mules that actually are mules, not PCs
3) easier inventory handling

Maybe most of the extra inventory (handling like above) should not come from the mount itself, but from the saddle or whatever one uses on it. Without saddle, there would maybe only be two inventory slots or something.

After executing a dismount, I end up underneath (and partially inside of) the mount rather than beside it.

Feature Request3981NoInventory/ItemsLowNewElvors AmenorasDisallow adding to forge/furnace if impossible14.02.201011 Task Description

Dropping an item in the forge or furnace while hammering something results in a message similar to “You can’t train your skill while working”, with the item sitting in the container but never heating up.

Instead, the item should refuse to drop in the forge/furnace (similar to the situation when capacity, weight, or slots are exhausted).
Alternatively, the item could drop normally and start heating up.

I have two reasons for requesting this:

  1. It runs counter to immersion. Stuff sitting in a hot place heats up in real life, it should do so in Ylliakum as well.
  2. It is a griefing opportunity. Start hammering something, fill up the forge with stuff, and watch crafters despair. Since the stuff does not heat up, you can even continue crafting - you can take stuff from a slot normally and immediately replace it, the 300 ms lag will make sure that you can fill the slot before the other crafters even see that you freed the slot.

Feel free to change to Feature Request, I cannot know whether the current behaviour conforms to developer expectations or not.

Bug Report4236NoGuilds/GroupsMediumNewRlyDontKnowdr updates sent for group members without actors14.02.201411 Task Description

the server send DR updates to all group members even if the actor causing it is not in range and therefore the target client doesn’t have an actor associated with it.
this results in a “Stat request failed because CelClient not ready for EID:xxxxx” for each movement of the group member that is out of range.
