When looting a monster, it’s possible to stand close enough to open the loot window but too far away to actually loot the monster. If you open the loot window while standing too far away, it will appear empty even if there are items there. If you move close enough to loot the monster and click “loot all”, you are able to loot the items even though they do not appear in the loot window. If you close the loot window, move closer, and reopen the loot window, the items appear.

Talad’s Note: move the open window from win_interactUI to the PlayerController receiveloot message, so it opens only if there is loot.

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.

Cutthroats on Oja Road 2 pathing seems problematic. They do not attack back when attacked and repeatedly teleport to this location even while standing here and do not appear to be able to move from this location: ojaroad2 469297.69 -333307.041 5554.62

Font size in settings for “Speak with NPC Text” or “NPC Response Text” cannot be changed.

If you fall from a height, fall damage and body development is not calculated while on a mount.

you can walk on water at this river: cup_of_laanx 717636.88 -659357.94 10930.61

When swimming underwater and looking through the water to things above water, everything has a water blur effect except for the leaves on the tree located here: ojaroad1 322214.06 -357065.16 15257.09

Working with Stock and Working with Rare Stock books are missing the recipes for heating ingots/stocks in the forge in 0.7.39.

Death animations play inconsistently for several NPCs. ex. Rogues in Oja and Cutthroats on Ojaroad, forest aragama on the road between the magic shop and Hydlaa.

Sometimes the animations will play, but most of the time they do not.

The fishing animation for the female stonehammer reels in the rod with the right hand, but the reel on the rod is for reeling with the left hand. This may affect other character models as well.

For crafting where the container automatically starts working when an item is placed in it (stock casting tank, forges, furnace, skillets etc), allow the “prepare” button to place multiple items in at once either through selecting a quantity at the prepare stage as a stack and/or adding a “fill container” option for things to be placed until all the container slots are full/the player runs out of the required materials.

ex. When casting stocks, after clicking prepare, it moves the first set of sludges into the stock casting container, but then if I click prepare again while the item is still in the container, it won’t let me place another item until it’s removed even though I can move another stack of sludges in manually. it would be nice to be able to automate that as it will remove a lot of clicks and reduce the time needed to process materials.

If you are in a location that has both fishing and harvesting available, if you successfully harvest an item and do not move, but switch to fishing you get a warning saying “You cannot fish in the same place twice” even though you have not fished at this location.

If you successfully catch a fish and do not move, but switch to harvesting you get a warning saying “You cannot harvest in the same place twice” even though you have not harvested at this location.

This is probably true of mining if there are area overlaps, but I have no idea if this actually exists anywhere.

example location for fishing/harvesting: /pos 109482 -757679 20767

If I get a new quest while the quest & event notebook window is open, the quest doesn’t appear in the list until I close and reopen the window. Can getting a new quest cause a refresh of the list of uncompleted quests?

When I fight Forest Arangmas they don’t attack back. Sometimes they do but most of the time they just sit there.

After a server crash, if you don’t restart your game, your log will no longer be updated with what happens in game. This has been noticed by Gonger, Migg, and a few others.

when completing a quest with a “choose your reward” section at the end, if you don’t select a reward before clicking “Select a reward” it doesn’t stop you before continuing or give you a default reward, it just completes without giving you any of the possible rewards.

When a friend completed the “Levrus Rat Eyes” quest, she forgot to select a reward before clicking “Select a reward” and received none of the options given.

when I run around the world, my max stamina decreases as the same rate as my actual stamina. It really isn’t a crazy issue as everything works normally but when looking at my stamina as it decreases, it seems to be full the entire time until it finally just disappears and I’m suddenly unable to move.

When crafting, the stamina bar works as intended with the max stamina never changing and only my actual stamina decreasing.

Noriko has been doing a lot of quest testing lately, and has found a number of quests where quest notes should be added so that returning players (or those who don’t use their logs) can pick up where they left off. I’ll pass along what she’s put in the petitions to this report.

*Road to Master Cook Chapter One
*Road to Master Cook Chapter Two
*Road to Master Cook Chapter Three
*Road to Master Cook Chapter Four

In each case, the quests notes are very good except when Mirra first gives the quest. The notes only include a generic line about helping Mirra be a better cook, and fail to mention where she’s sent you or what she wants.

*Helping Mirra

No useful quest notes at all.

*Where the Courier Went

Once the player gets the name Shian Sulkin it should probably be added to the quest notes, in case logs aren’t available.

I’ll add more as they’re reported.

I’ve been doing some testing with the /morph command, and have not yet found a way to get it to work properly. I used my event character and every time I tried to morph into another race gender I had issues with the default Enkidukai texture remaining on the head. There were also other issues, like klyros wings being missing, and the fact that after the tests my enkidukai character now seem to have lemur textures on her hands permanently.

These are the results I got starting with a female enkidukai character, closing the game and loading fresh after each morph:

Dermorian M - Wrong texture, no back of head. Changing hair trait doesn’t help.
Dermorian F - Wrong texture, no back of head. Changing hair trait doesn’t help.
Diaboli M - Wrong texture, no back of head. Changing hair trait doesn’t help. Setting trait first doesn’t help.
Diaboli F - Wrong texture, no back of head. Changing hair trait doesn’t help.
Enkidukai M - Bad face texture, even from female enki
Enkidukai F -
Klyros M - Entirely wrong texture, no wings, back missing
Klyros F - Nothing visible. Helmet and held items show on ground
Kran N - Wrong texture except for hands, oddly.
Lemur M - Wrong texture except hands, no hair. Hand texture remains after relog
Lemur F - Wrong texture except hands, no hair. Hand texture remains after relog
Nolthrir M - Wrong texture except for hands. No top/back of head
Nolthrir F - Wrong texture except for hands. No top/back of head
Stonehammer M - Wrong texture except for hands. No top/back of head or beard section of face.
Stonehammer F - Wrong texture except for hands. No top/back of head
Ylian M - Wrong texture except for hands. No top/back of head
Ylian F - Wrong texture except for hands. No top/back of head

I few quick tests with a female dermorian character were better, but the head texture was always wrong.

In some quests there is a delay before you can talk to an NPC again. One example of this is Its Gone Bad. In Legacy the players got a message like “You have to wait for 10 minutes before you can continue this quest.” so that they knew what was going on, but in PSU they don’t get the message.

Admittedly, the message is very OOC, but without it there’s no way for a player to know why they cannot proceed with the quest. If the messages cannot be restored, maybe a line of dialog from an NPC saying that they’ll have more to say later?

Players who have done the Order of the Keen Edge quests do not seem to have their faction points calculated correctly. Players who have done the quests seem to have their faction listed as 0 (Ignored). I checked the quests, and no faction points are awarded by the quests, even though my logs show that faction points were given. Currently, the quests only give faction_level.

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’s stupid to not be able to trade (through right clicking the character and clicking ‘trade’) while over encumbered (having to sit down because you’re too heavy). But yet you can just make a shortcut or type /trade and it works.

So my point is, why?

(note: if this task has already been posted and discussed, I did search ‘Trade’ and ‘Trading’)

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.

I would be nice to have the option to set the filter string to “item names” or “processes”. Such that you could search for an item “battle axe” and only see the steps under the heading “battle axe*” or search processes for things like “apple” and see every step that uses an apple.

Dragging a glyph from an inventory container (e.g. sack or glyph sack) into any slot in Spell Research window causes the glyph to disappear from the container until window is re-opened.

Steps:

- Open Spell Research window from “spellbook”.

- Open glyph sack and drag glyph into any slot in Spell Research window. (Try to use Research or Way slots. Purify Glyph slot only reproducible if right hand has item equipped.)

- Glyph seems to have disappeared from container, but will reappear if window is refreshed.

Additional info:
Dragging glyph from glyph sack on the ground to Spell Research slots puts it into inventory.
Moving a glyph from inventory into Purify Glyph slot equips the glyph in right hand but does not begin purification.
(Not sure if these features are conflicting with spell research.)

Player can jump or fall onto another character and enter climbing animation and briefly stand on top of another character. Player then falls due to no collision detected.

Both player characters and NPCs are climbable.

In Legacy, moving the camera with the mouse centers the cursor and hides its visibility until the camera movement button is released.

In Unreal, moving the camera with the mouse allows the cursor to visibly move around the screen and stray off the PS window. Fullscreen is not capturing the mouse during non-combat camera movement, so moving camera too far can result in clicking on windows of other applications on another monitor.

Feature request:

Moving camera with mouse buttons to set position of cursor to center of PS window and toggle cursor invisible until mouse button is released.

Some options in settings are not being saved after closing the game. They revert to default or adopt other settings.

- Interface → Visible shortcut rows

- Controls → quickbar → shortcuts (Conflicts with “Others” menu → “shortcuts” bar?)

- Chat logs directory → time stamps (May not be functional?)

Issues with shortcuts / quickbar / “shortcut bar” / “macro editor” are the most noticeable and make assigning shortcuts a time-consuming task that requires restarting the game multiple times over.

Throughout the GUI, some options are referred to by multiple or misleading names, which can be confusing and make communicating about them difficult.

On the toolbar → ‘Others’ the shortcut bar is labeled “shortcuts”, but editing the shortcuts shows a widget labeled “Macro Editor”. To reach the shortcuts in Settings menu → Controls, you must scroll down to a section labeled “quickbar”. There are a list of 10 shortcuts below, but “quickbar” is not used as a label anywhere else in the game. It would not be evident to a new player that these are related.

Toolbar → ‘Others’ → ‘options’ opens Settings menu. This is less confusing but may confuse some players when trying to navigate GUI. (My suggestion would be to change “Settings” label to “Options” as we also say “settings” to refer to lore, quests, NPCs, etc.)

Toolbar → ‘Character’ → ‘character’ opens the inventory window.

Emote messages in chatbox from or targeting NPCs displays their names as if they have a first name if there is a space in the name. The word before the space becomes the only part of the name displayed.

“>Sarras blows a kiss at Flayed.” (Flayed Velnishi)

“>Sarras grabs hold of Dlayo and begins to dance.” (Dlayo Gladiator)

“>Poison yells for Sarras to flee!” (Poison Carkarass)

You turn blue.

Could be coming from blue sewer lights?

While the quest system has greatly improved in the years I’ve been gone, there are still things one needs to type to an NPC.

Currently NPCs are still dumb as bricks when it comes to understand what players “write” to them.

As the “writing” is supposed to be “speaking” one would assume that an a person would understand a word even if it’s spelled incorrectly.

For example - in a certain quest you have to tell a certain NPC the words “diamond and opal”.

If you spell the words wrong (e.g. opale) the npc refuses to help and you have no chance of repeating that step and thus are forced to finish the quest in another way.

With regexp in the engine the settings department could make the answer look like this: (?i).*diamond.*opal.*

This would match case insensitive on “it are diamonds and opals” as well as “diamondsopals” or “diamond opale” as well as many other possible phrases that include the words “diamond” and “opal”.

With wordlists settings could define a couple of spellings of certain words to match on in-word typos even. for example: (?i).*$quest_stepX_wordlist1.*$quest_stepX_wordlist2.*
In the wordlist the settings dept could then, for example, define spellings like diamond, daimond, diamant and the like. That’s just an example though, I’m sure there are many more examples in game currently where a npc refuses to answer or you break a step in a quest only because you cnat type

As for the regexp, the PCRE library from Apache could be used, maybe. http://www.pcre.org/

Drifters Section

“This gas is highly acidic and damages a persons equipped items if they stand in the mist.”

This should be changed to:

This gas is highly acidic and damages a person’s equipped items if they stand in the mist.

Note the apostrophe to indicate a singular possessive noun (person’s).

I need potions : curse ,diseases,paralyzation, and poison for completion as well stupidity potions that lower magic way skill for shoort duration

guard throw out of city polymorphed players, why not add the same when player wield weapon in city and guard see that?

when i edit book and load it from file i would like see list of files i can load,
in additonal user books not stack that make it hard to carry for sale :( so another proposition if i put empty book into writted one it stack and and i have 2 identical -easy way to copy books

btw book name is not changed when i load it from file and i have to edit it every time

when flame spire or animate vegetion kill enemy it swich from agresive to fuldefensive mode , enemy is already dead ant it shall stop atack

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

for every skill we get practices equal to time we spend while crafting but for repairing it is not true
the practices are equal to time the SECOND attempt repair the same item(so if i repair shield for 403 s i got 310 practices, second time i repaired it 310s )

would be great if we have two alternative way to training repairing: cheap that take longer and faster if we have to spend more cash
there are no bonuses for repairing complex items its only based how bad its damaged it seem

spells are laggy one less others more , players cry for the lag during events, cant imagine how it would laggy with 300 players online
so ingame ability to disble the effect would litle solve it
we could have slider simiar to grafics detail distance and when its set to 0 all efects would disabled , small distance would allow to see own spells and not get lagged by others

would be great if somone review the effects if there is way to optimalize it and make less laggy

i cant dequip it while repairing but i can equip another item so the one im repairing is in inventory

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

with dummy targeted
/pet target
/pet attack

from longer distance pet fail to attack dummy, it hit arena wall and dissaper
from very short it attack and start rotating.

all potions I tested results in a diamond crystal icon in the active effects bar.

with alchemist fire/freezer equipped → attack npc
chat responds ‘You have no weapons equipped’

legacy allowed to discard repeatable quests

to recreate;
1. place container on ground (sack, crate…)
2. right-click container → Look
3. Place stacked items in container (tested with daggers, arrows, potions, rings)
4. From container, Select (1) item from stack, place on ground
Entire stack is removed from container (same effect for all items tested)
This does not happen when container is in inventory

I have a 6950, running the game at absolute max(custom) settings(minus fullscreen, it crashes), and the framerate is ~130fps(see corner, I had limiter on). I think the game has room for some graphics bumps on the “highest” settings. It would also be a good idea to future proof this game. The 6990 is about twice as good as mine or so, and who knows what year 2014 will have in store? At max settings, I think it should run on the fastest graphics card at about ~12-24 fps.

Now I know some people will be like: “How much did you spend on that computer?” and the answer is: $950.
So yes, normal people could use better graphics. I’m not some crazy uber geek with a $6000 computer(just a normal geek).

Possible additions:
Bump mapping. Cheap way to make things appear more 3d.
Super AA (draw at double resolution, scale down, future proof)
Voxel models/textures.
Another lightmap model: make a second screen, this one is an additive screen, each object reflects light to the second drawing board according to the laws of color (additive, then multiply) so for example, a candle would be yellow on the emitter lightmap, but a chair pitch black. Then after being lit by the candle you preform additive to the chair’s lightmap, and multiply it by the texture of the chair. A third map could be added for reflectivity, but I don’t know if that would be easy since I don’t program graphics.
Better textures.

It would be awesome if GMs could have a new command that let them change the size of item such as carpet, pillow, vase, etc… Kind of the same system as GM use now to resize characters and npcs (example : Gorgan the giant).
It would kind of triple the number of items available for decoration and events without adding any in the database.
