With a weight of 9 and a size of 9, the model of “White Oak Wood” appears to be way too large. Such a big heap of wood would weight more than 50 kg. In contrast, the icon is such a tiny poking stick…

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

The guild window, who’s online tool, clearly lists blackflame area when you are in the temple. It would be better if it indicated one of the sewer maps instead or some random map.
given the secrecy surrounding this status you don’t want joe guildmate to have this info even out-of-contextly.

I would like to request that saved quest notes be moved from client side into the book database. currently the quest notes are saved locally and are very vulnerable frequently getting deleted during client repair or re installs. additionally for players who have more than one computer these notes do not properly persist between clients.

considering that players are already allowed to write books and that text data takes up very little space there is really no reason NOT to move this feature server side.

another major issue with the current implementation is that the quest’s description is missing a lot of key information provided by the npc conversation such as names and locations.

a perfect example is the quest Masked Mistress where the description tells you the summary however does not include her brothers name which is given in the npc dialogue.

the lost of quest notes can easily render a quest impossible to complete without asking a person for spoilers or searching through game logs for the missing conversation.

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

I tried attacking a kikiri with two ‘Dark Dagger’ and I got the following system messages

(20:29:33) >You’ve gained 1 practice points in Knives & Daggers.
(20:29:33) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:29:33) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:29:33) >You’ve gained 1 practice points in Knives & Daggers.
(20:29:33) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:29:33) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:30:37) >You’ve gained 1 practice points in Knives & Daggers.
(20:30:37) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:30:37) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:30:37) >You’ve gained 1 practice points in Knives & Daggers.
(20:30:37) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:30:37) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.

So every attack I do with two Dark Daggers is doing two rounds of extra damage and not just one extra round of damage.

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 the player attempts to open a locked chest by dragging it to their equipment panel. The game displays a message that the chest is locked but consumes the item anyway providing now loot. Expected behavior is that the game places the locked chest back into the players inventory or prevents them from consuming it if it is locked

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

In Legacy PlaneShift, the default movements are:
W = Walk forwards
S = Walk backwards
A = Turn to the left until keypress ends
D = Turn to the right until keypress ends

However in PSU, the movement is as follows:

W = Walk forwards
S = Turn 180 degrees and then walk forwards (towards the camera)
A = Turn 90 degrees left and then walk forwards (at 270 degrees from camera)
D = Turn 90 degrees right and then walk forwards (at 90 degrees from camera)

This is incongruent with legacy movements, but also complicated by the requirement to use the mouse for both UI interaction and movement concurrently.

It may be that this is a result of the absence of a ‘third-person follow’ camera, but behaviour should follow that of legacy.

Approaching Stalg does nothing to the quest, can’t complete.

I loaded up as a new Ylian and started with 0 tria, empty inventory…

chatted to a few npcs harnquist , apples… there were no apples(probably had to wait for spawn) , science guy…

then chatted to guards at gate and row over dagger, they gave me a dagger i cant equip…

went to find some ulbers to look at animation.

Bug:the Ulbernaut is attacking me but cant seem do anything to me..

also the pop up chat text pops up all the time in it’s face… ‘is attack, thinks ur weak’

messages all the time right in front of the face…

so now they chase me around and cant damage me…

when it cast stones… there is no effect or spell or animation(that one is prob for me to solve)

The console says you received 4 circles, but the wallet won’t update until you complete another quest. Comnpleting Harnquist is Hungry for example says another 4 circles in console, and wallet updates to 8 circles.

floating plants at: 274673.47, -364629.59, 10927.77

It’s spawned items, probably from a natural resource location.

Two problems with guards:
They do not complain about characters with wielded weapons.
They do not let creatures enter the city!

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.

Pet follows properly after summoning or after telling it to follow. Whenever Damola moves the pet follows.

However once I told it not to follow anymore, whenever I tell it follow again, it follows to the current location of Damola, but does not continue following. I.e. it only follows one time and not until told otherwise. But only after having been told not to follow once.

When trying to attack it says “You have no weapons equipped!”

The mail window at the pterosaur fast travel npcs has item slots that extend outside the minimum extent of the mail window.

I am not entirely sure on how this bug is best described.
as the duel system is not releasing the duel flag currently.

But I think while the main duel is active you cannot charge cast a spell using the hotkeys against your opponent while in the default navigation mode.

but you can cast charged spells using the hot keys after pressing TAB and entering combat mode.

I will retest this bug after the duel flag bug has been resolved.

when I casted Prayer.

it reapeats the following for each target affected
you sing a prayer,healing everyone who can hear you for 176 points

the spell blessed litany lists all the players affected
you sing a litany, healing %player for XX points and XX stamina

This happens also in Legacy.

When playing in windowed mode, if you shrink the game window, everything scales smaller except the mouse pointer. This causes the tooltip to be hidden behind the mouse pointer if you shrink the window smaller making it unreadable. I’m not sure if it’s possible to either have the mouse pointer scale with everything else, if the tooltip can be further offset, or if the tooltip can be on top of the pointer.

This is the biggest problem on the toolbar with options, skills, character etc, spells/active magic toolbar, and on the shortcut toolbar. The inventory tooltips seem ~okay. They do overlap slightly, but the overlap is in a place without text.

attack onyx dagger

NPC chat tab spammed with Stares coldy at me
and
attacks me with defensive stance

it did manage to cast a spall that that says
Onyx Dagger drains your mental abilities

it has a residual magic effect on the ground that remained after it died
and still on the ground after it respawned

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.

Requesting where we type in the chat window scales with the rest of the window.

We can select a larger font, but where we type in the chat window does not change, only the rest of the chat window.

Note: There is a huge difference between font size 4 and 5. Suggest to have something in between if at all possible.

The pile of dust that gets crafted sometimes for reasons we all know, this pile of dust cannot be disposed of by putting it in Furnace. Some of us experienced players want to keep the place clean and so whenever we find pile of dust, we put it in Furnace, it eventually vanishes by putting it in furnace and forgetting about it. Now there is no choice but to sell it off to NPC for 0 tria. This is not the main problem, but the problem is to find a NPC nearby who buys ‘Pile of Dust’. So either make a NPC available near Crafting Station to sell of the dust or make furnace to take in the dust and burn it down vanishing it.

The quest has a number of triggers that must be completed in order to progress that do not appear to be working in Unreal. The three I’ve found are:

1) Proximity to the rock with the action location that moves players into the cave,

2) Use of a cog/mechanism, moving one of the rocks, and

3) Solving the door puzzle and entering the small room.

I’m not sure if these are supposed to complete steps that are not sequential with the immediately previous steps, or if they are meant to set variables, but either way they don’t seem to be doing the job. Talking to Raithen gives no sign that you’ve completed any of these tasks, even if you’ve done them all.

I can get players past this by setting a later step manually, but given the (suspected) use of variables or non-sequential steps, it seems likely I’ll just mess things up for them.

While Moving around, I think turning might be causing this, in the middle of walking or running, suddenly you are out of the saddle and running on your own. Also, not sure if there is supposed to be a quick dismount when clicking the right mouse button which happens when you want to look around etc.

Entering the doorway to the Dark Rogue hideout in the Abandoned Mine is nigh impossible. I had to crouch-roll several times to go past the doorway. (The other direction, out, works smoothly)

The wooden door to the little chamber behind the hideout is no longer clickable. /ability detect secrets didn’t do anything obvious either.

If inside the Winch quarter in Hydlaa it is difficult to leave towards Plaza.

The right-clickable portal area on the gate encompasses only a small part of the door around knee height. This used to be as big as the entire door and should be again.

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 a while I have been trying and failed ot make Octarch’s delight and Lionfish Souflee.

In both cases the mixing in a wooden bowl didn’t work.

The new crafting interface now shows that there is baking skill required in both cases which doesn’t make sense given the tool set or the recipe book involved
.

couchgrass seems to be in the wrong place near gugrontid and oja areas, and are unable to be harvested.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3240545565

may be due to rendering issues with distro and graphics card. In some cases when using different cards/drivers and compositors such as wayland and xwindows, sometimes render can be slightly off but the current position of the couchgrass seems to be way off.

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 )

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.

Related to FS#2436

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.

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.

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

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.

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.”

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.

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

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

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.

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.

The quest objective is to help a certain NPC find a missing object, that's what my char agreed to do. After finding the object and proceeding to final steps I suddenly receive a ready-made line "X listens to your story" and find my char spilling its friend and ally's whereabouts to X, with me having absolutely no means to prevent or stop it. Honest, it feels like being godmodded by the quest system and is awfully disappointing, to say the least. It also clashes with the general idea of quests being done ICly.

Dear Devs, please add a "not squealing" option, something like "I've just found it somewhere" and let the player deal with one of the main ingame alignments (Law) according to that player's RP. The way it is done now, it's not C&C, it's M&C, having to bear with consequences of the game mechanics, and somehow it doesn't feel right… at all.

PS Ver: 0.5.3

(Edited for clarity.)

List of all bugs regarding sound to be fixed for next release.

When an npc talks the volume of the music ect makes it hard to hear them. Lets try setting all volume to 20% or so and see how that effects it.

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

It is only partially helpful to estimate if an opponent is more or less stronger than my own char, as long as I don't estimate its defensive qualities too. I would like to see a pair of chances to get hurt by it, and chances to be able to hurt it. Especially since some oppoments are so well armored that even "Extraordinary" quality crafted weapons won't do any damage as long as the character has only average weapon skills. And it is quite vital to estimate the chance of breaking the armor before starting a fight. Even if the opponent is "about as strong as" the character, it is not just risky but suicidal if the opponent is the only one which has any chance to hurt.
