Just an FYI but the info being posted on the calendar for the dev meetings has a typo. Under Content, second sentence the Word developers is typed Devevelopers.

I would like to have the option to buy back item(s) i sold to a npc as precaution for accidental sales.
Its a common feature in other games and would fit PS very well too.

Questions for implementation:
- Should the list be global or npc specific? (buyback only where you sold it)
I tend to make it npc specific as it makes sense and would prevent abuse (e.g. for transportation).

- Add a timer how long the buyback of a sold item is aviable? Its probably easier to add and lighter on ressources to keep a fixed global item amount then adding a timer.

- How many items should be stored to be aviable to buy back? In my opinion a global maximum of 10.

- Should there be an additional fee for buying an already sold item back? I’d say it would make sense. The NPC-buy price of the particular item could be used, since the calculation is already implemented.

- How does it fit into the UI? It could be added in the BUY-from-npc list of the particular NPC. It would only show up when there is something aviable to buy back, similar to how the SELL-to-npc list handles it now.

Any thoughts or ideas?

For an example.

In the Catalog of shields book, ‘Bronze Spike’ becomes un-greyed and therefor visible as craftable when blacksmith hits 15. but you also need many levels in shield making before you can actually make the item. If I push Blacksmith to 200 and leave shield making at 0, according to the book I can make every item in there, despite that clearly being wrong.

The skill checks being made on the crafting books need to look at primary and secondary and as many skills are needed to make an item to correctly mark it as something you can make.

As the title suggests you continue to get the system message you have gained practice when using a skill despite your practice level not actually increasing.

friends list does not display all friends after using command line without add/remove(onoff), may remove other entries.

starting with no friends:

‘/buddy abcdef’ = ‘abcdef is already on your buddy list’ (refresh friends window, abcdef was added)

‘/buddy abcdefgh’ = ‘abcdefgh is not on your buddy list’ (refresh friends window, abcdef is no longer listed, abcdefgh is not listed)

‘/buddy abcdef add’ = sometimes added, sometimes not

For some reason the buddies list uses a different font than all the other lists. I find it quite hard to read.

In addition to that the text color is red on a brown-greyish background. That makes it even harder to read.

I suggest using the same font and color as in the other lists.

After getting the quest from Roya go to Brado and tell him “You might find this useful to you.”. He will not answer (or rather the anwser is empty) and you can not continue the quest.

From game chat:

/tell Laanx Hi, Laanx!
> Laanx is not found online.

Current /pray command is a shortcut for /emote pray, but it could be interesting to have separate command to pray gods (or specific god) for miracles or even ask them about something.

“Miracles” should be protective / healing spells, casted on character or group, or offensive spells, casted on enemies.
Spell set could vary by god. Rate of success of appeal & spell power could be determined by character race, faction points, number of previous appeals (in the game day), sacrifices and also (maybe) current location, weather and time of the day.

If god name not specified, any god in the mood could answer to the prayer.
Also, appeling to the more ancient gods (Laanx, Talad) should have lesser rate of success, but greater miracles or revelations.

Any character (even have no magical abilities and choose to be atheist) could use this command.

Gods could be implemented as (invisible) NPCs.

Example command formats:

Pray: /pray [godname]
Ask: /tell [godname] [question]
Sacrifice: /give [godname] [itemname]

bright and murky essences are made by processing 1 of the 3 essence mixes resulting in 3 product.
with higher skill you can process 2 at a time into 6 product.
to process 2 at a time you have to cut off 2 from the stack and transfer them, very time consuming.
to process 1 you dump a stack in the container and shift click on it til they are spread out.

every other higher skill same process I have looked at gave more product per ingredient.
For example 2 crystal sludge –> 5 crystal essences
higher skill 1 –> 3

I crafted two bows, the NPC-Price for the Enkidukai Shortbow (needs lvl 20 in bow making and more material) seems to low.
Enkidukai Hunting Bow, Q170; 1588 Tria
Enkidukai Shortbow, Q193; 1531 Tria

When working on bow making at the Arena smith table: if you /use the table, when the progress bar shows that you are done, instead of being done with whatever you’re doing, you get a message that reads “You interrupted your work when you moved away” without having moved at all.

I’ve repeated it multiple times working on a few different things, but haven’t tried at any other smith tables yet.

This idea came up in IRC.

When someone breaks a law, players can report it to GMs or another NPC guard. Then GMs or the guard activate an option that turns on the autoaccept duels for an hour, with a different color label. During that hour, players that find the outlaw can kill it (or people with X faction in guards), so that would involve some players acting like guards in town (and some outlaws would have to leave the city for some time to avoid being killed).

When you equip an item with “BOTH HANDS” flag an icon appears in only the left or right hand inventory slot, whichever you dropped it in.

As the weapon takes up both ‘LEFT’ and ‘RIGHT’ hands it would be clearer if the same icon appeared in both hands to make it clear that both hands are taken up by one item.

It should also be possible to deequip it from the icon in either hand.

At the moment two handed items appear in a single hand and use the animations for single hand weapons. There needs to be a new set of equip and attack animations for each race for two hand weapons.

It would be cool if players could buy bookshelves like the ones in the library. Rather than the player trying to set all the book items on the bookshelf that can be bought in Winch right now and making it look as if the books are on the shelf in the proper way the same dwarf could sell the shelves that look like the ones in the library. It would hold books like a container.

Instead of directly opening the book copy text, it would be nice if a book showed a regular info window first. Title, the authors name, and generic book description. If a Read button were provided, that then opened the window with the book copy text, perhaps an event could be generated so there could be read and unread books in ones inventory. Being able to carry and inspect an unread book perhaps gives some interesting quest possibilities.

For crafting book /use command equips book in mind slot - and it’s OK, I think.
But how to open crafting book for reading, as of RMB click in inventory?

Then dragging a book from inventory to shortcut window, /use command is created.
But /use command for common book just results in a book, equiped in righthand slot (in case it’s empty).
Book isn’t opened for reading nor writing, so where is no result of using it. So no /use…

After equipping a common book in a hand slot, /use [slot-name] command just kills the psclient… This one really unexpected :(

/write [item-name] command syntax not working on a writable book, resulting message is: “You cannot write on this item” -
but this syntax described in a Help window! And /write [slot-name] syntax works as expected.

I think it’s clear that /read command for a books must exist to make complete set. Some use cases:

* want to read any book - use /read [item-name] or /read [slot-name]
* want to write to a writable book - use /write [item-name] or /write [slot-name]
* want to equip / dequip any book - use /equip and /dequip commands

Sane default results for /use command:

* Crafting book - equip in a mind slot.

It's a reference book, to take a look from time to time in a crafting process, after all.

* Common book and writable book - open book reading window. Using a book in a real world means “read it”.

Other "uses" (as a blunt weapon, fuel, press-papier, etc.) are less common.

So the subject: book titles for crafting techniques are missing in 0.5.9.10 using “elves” skin (and other skins too):

But writable and setting books are ok:

Hi,

during my questing in the game, I found a book “The Derghir Menace”, located at Hydlaa’s library, which seems to have broken coding which causes the book’s text to appear together with the incorrect code tags.

See the picture in the link.

The are for harvesting Blue Cohosh Root is so small that you need absolute precision to harvest a second time, without “You cannot harvest in the same place twice in a row”.

It’s possible but takes longer to find the right spot, the area needs to be bigger.

If you take a heated blade out of your hand while hammering it the work will not be interrupted until the work duration if finished. If you return it to your hand before the work is finished the transformation completes successfully.
THis appears to only work if you replace the item with itself, substituting a different identical item or a completely different item causes an interruption.

If you fall off the dais where the fire carkerass is and you have max stats you do not die and you cannot return to the temple. To get back you have to commit suicide.

Nothing major at all, but I cannot change the severity. Is that up to the poster?

Anyway, just on the other side of the wall from Akk-Central -4.46 0.70 4.32, in the empty space, is a bit of grass floating around.

we need a facility to allow morph, scaling, settrait and related commands to be in effect for the current login -OR- persist across logins -OR- permanently change the base character. Obviously there should be appropriate permissions requirements especially for changes to the base.

In the server list, you could have another “server” that’s really stored on the local machine. In this server, it starts the player in a pit with a bunch of NPCs casting spells over and over. Maybe 5 NPCs repeatedly casting magic light, and 20 casting random spells. The pit should be a “worst realistic case” scenario so that players can tinker with graphical settings in there.

I could have sworn when I created my Ylian character in legacy it had a dark beard, it shows up with a dark beard in legacy; in unreal the character’s beard shows up as blonde. Seemed peculiar

Be able to see several text lines in all chat windows after returning from a crash or logging out.
This was available in Legacy. Can it also be available in PSU?

There are many containers floating near the Coliseum. POS - hydlaa_plaza 162155.22 -294561.75 10322.76 //drive.google.com/file/d/1XPxOkuBlJ75aoq0OWJ0GnDCj0co0jwrW/view

Banded Mail Armor stores in MA category, trains MA but the description reads HeavyArmor under the weight/size/quality. So can we get it changed to read MA please.

Having a limited number of storage locations for sacks would be a really nice feature.

It would make it much easier for people to sort out their equipment without having to carry it everywhere.

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. :)

Platinum Mining is pretty much how it was in Legacy - at Mining 200, I succeed less than 40% of the time, and Q is between 80 and 115 only. With optimal mining gear this will not go above Q 130 or Q 140. It was planned to be made in such a way that there is at least a chance to get Q 200 for Platinum.
The success % is less disturbing - some things SHOULD be more difficult than others!

the inscription reads that “Talad may bless the souls” this implies that he also may not. “May Talad bless” or simply “Talad bless” would be a plea for his intercession. “Talad blesses” would be an affirmation to the reader that they are indeed blessed by Talad whether or not it is actually true.

While preparing Terevan Berry Wine Saauce (as part of Octarch’s Delight) The “Prepare” button picks either mortar and pestle as the container to be used or the wooden bowl, depending on where my character is standing (in Reffitia’s Kitchen).

Both are too small to hold all items that are needed to combine “Unmixed Terevan Berry Wine Sauce”. Maybe container size should be a criterion more than distance.

When using /item to create a lockable container, also create a key automatically and place it in the container.

At the every least, just create the (master?) key and put it in the new container.

More complex would be to alter the dialog to allow input of how many keys (in addition to master?) to auto-create.

when i start atack enemy that is little away and before i see message he is too away switch (with shortcuts /target nearest /atack) to nearest im in combat mode but dont see any system mesages and not doing any hits- it happend in other situacions too but that i know how to reproduce

its worse to aim enemy , i often see ‘you are to away’ in first try and without move next attack hit enemy correctly

When i open dialouge with NPC I get the speech option to hand in the 3 plat steel maces of high quality.

I get no information in the NPC chat box on the left.
I do get an error message in the Standard Chat box

You have too few plat steel mace.

I have tried a stack of 3 , 3 single maces
and I have tried manually giving 3 plat steel maces.

All attempts have failed to complete the quest

Hard to spot, but if you go to the location and zoom in and out, and rotate it shows, also as second screenshot shows it also extends to left.

Quality of life improvement. Please implement arrow tracking and recovery. NPC’s should should have a counter to track how many arrows they have been hit with. When the creature is looted there will be a dice roll to to determine the percentage of arrows that survived intact these arrows will be added to the creatures loot allowing the bowman to recover unbroken arrows from the corpse.

A while ago I spent some time fighting some enemies, like ~20 hours worth of it over a week or two, and my armor has never decreased in quality. I think this is awful for the item economy. There is never any need to create new and exciting armors since once you have the set you want, you will never need to replace it. Almost every other item you use decreases in quality. I suppose tools could also be lumped into this as they also never decrease in quality no matter how much I mine, harvest, craft, etc.

Several area of effect spells (Healing rain, dazzling light, icy ground, tire, probably others) send multiple system messages based on the number of targets affected. For example, with healing rain “You call forth healing rain” is sent 4 times if 4 targets are affected, 8 times if 8 targets are affected.

when hunting in group popup window asking winer to allow loot is annoying, i wish leader of group have options that
1 allow to share loots
2 disable shares and the one who take loots keep it
without the annoying window that popup every time

I would suggest a specific hunting skill to “loot” animals instead of the current lottery system giving hides, claws, eyes, and whatnot.

Currently, anybody who can kill something can get enough parts by slaughtering a big amount of creatures. The skill would clearly separate the warriors from the hunters. Anyone can probably cut a rat’s tail, but skinning the animal is a bit more complex. And so on, some beasts will be more difficult to skin than others. Even proper meat is not obvious to extract from a carcass.

As a side effetc, maybe a killer could carry back the entire beast to a person capable of skinning/cutting it, if he doesn’t have the skill himself (it looks like some people can carry 400 kgs out there).

This incidentally could create a real market between players, akin to the economy currently existing around ore and weapons. Obviously, some PCs are going to be cooks, leatherworkers or alchemists.

This of course doesn’t apply to looting rogues, unless one can think of using human parts in some dark alchemy, or just carrying ears or heads as trophies.

I have often experienced that people come close to my character, trying to interact with me without trying to use tell. So they do not get that I am actually away, they may just assume that I am or (in the worst case) think I am rude because I am ignoring them. So what is needed is a way to show another character the own away and-/or sleep-status. Though I am not quite sure which would be the best way to do so.

Here are some possibilities:
- add “away” or “sleeping” to the players label when one moves the mouse over another character
- This status should be shown always, no matter if the user has activated the display of name or name/guild in options. Or at least there should be an own setting for it, in case somebody absolutely do not want to know about this status.
- To make it a bit more icly, don’t separate between “sleeping” (activated via “/sleep”) and “away”. In both cases use “sleeping” as a players status.
- A possible extension could be to set auto-sleeping like on irc. Say, the user hasn’t done anything for half an hour, he is automatically set to “sleep”-status.

I think this would help to avoid confusion like what I described above.

I would like to see an Auto Guard system of some sort

I recently Made a mini game on PS and went to a GM event to have things Engraved but im running into A problem that if I somehow lose connection I would be subject to an OCC Robery of these items, And they are food Items So someone could pick them up, Eat them, And log off. While im still trying to log back in. weather it be from an enemy or A fake Alt.

Not only that but I placed a book on the buildboard to look for a guard to help me guard the display, a couple hours later it was gone. A player shouldn’t have to ask a GM everytime they want to place a book…. Ask Any GM and im sure they will agree with that!

ICly I could put a spell on something or report it to the guards, but these might have little effect other then a sure solution.

I will list some solutions, umm… Tell Me what you think? :)

1. Create A spell For Players To Lockdown there own Items/Command (time period Has no meaning Do to Bad weather that lasts hours)

2. Lol I donno… Number 1 sounds like the only solution Or all the others tye into it. I’ll Try to think of more and post them in comments

The next day I hear people in Gossip channel talking about someone taking a book so Its effecting All players

While the tavern’s kitchen in Amdeneir has all the smaller pieces of equipment, the tables and stove they are standing on don’t offer any interaction to open an oven, a grill or a preparation table respectively.

I’d expect there to be at least a preparation table accessible.

The bed’s canopys in Amdeneir tavern are too low for anyone/race to use the beds.

Picture depicting Vakachehk being to tall to get under the bed canopy

You might be able to use them if we could some how have a lying down command and be able to scoot over. Or right click the bed and click ‘Use’ and our character’s automatically lay on the beds. However they’re unusable at the moment.

It might make sense that an Ynnwn has to crouch in order to get through a Klyros built door, but when Klyros are struggling to pass many doors in their own city, that doesn’t make any sense.

Many doors are too narrow for my Klyros character to pass through. Same holds for some of the decoration, like the kiosks in the market hall with an awning that is too low to look at the wares on the table.

I think 20-30% larger scale would be sufficient to remedy the major trouble spots.
