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.

On getting teleported while sprinting almost fell off a steep abyss. Could have brought my char into death realm.

Might be a good idea to have a teleport freeze the char for a second or two so as I player have a good chance to react to the location change.

Hi
I seem to have a glytch where frequently (but not always) an NPC will not talk to me no matter how long I wait
However if I click “Bye” and try again he will now talk
It means I have to click every NPC when he wont speak to me twice to be sure there is no dialogue

When looting a monster, there is a system message in main chat saying “<mob> has no money to be looted” when you click “loot all” even if the monster does have money to be looted instead of the correct system message which should tell you how much money you looted (the amount of money looted could also be added to the loot window as a quality of life improvement).

If the monster doesn’t have any money, then there are two system messages in main chat saying “<mob> has no money to be looted”. One appears when you open the loot window, and once when you click “loot all”.

On my character Mewshad: 90 AGI, 75 CHA, 154 END, 55 INT, 100 STR, 90 WIL at 13 lvl in Sword. At every attack, I gain 1 point of practice on the training dummy. This means I need to click 200 times to get to the next level. I also tried to do the “special attack” but same there. I think Endurance and Strength is the reason since before I increased these attribute, sword leveling was faster.

Currently when an NPC doesn't have a quest for player, they essentially ignore the player. This can be bad because:

1) Sometimes (e.g. the circle way quests) this comes across as a bug since the player has been directed to talk to the NPC by another.

2) It's not always (in fact generally not) a realistic behaviour from a charactization PoV.

3) The chain quests are now very long and not obvious, so players have no idea what to do next.

4) It may be something else besides more quests that is necessary. How are players to know?

I think this should be changed, and propose the following dynamic as a possibility:

A "sociability" metric would be calculated for each interaction between player and NPC based on:
factions, prerequisites required for quests, and a base number assigned to each NPC. This metric will indicate how well-disposed the NPC is towards giving quest info the player at this time. Depending on this metric (lets say a number from 0-5) the NPC could say something (or ignore the player if the number is 0). The higher the number, the more useful and specific is the response.

Some characters are grumpy by nature and will almost always ignore people or give gruff responses (like now). Many are just typical and will offer canned default responses, expect that for the higher metrics these will hint that they will have something for you later. Ideally the highest metric will look up who gives the pre-requisite quest and direct you there.

Each quest could specify overrides for any of the responses.

Talking to Menita and confirming the quest with “I will try” crashes the server.

System tab: Could the information there be split up further, like for the logs, into something like combat, crafting, soul commands (emotes and interaction commands like /greet), so you can have more control what is shown in Main tab?

This was briefly discussed in the Dev meeting (22/02/2015), and should be assigned to Eredin.

Thank you.

while hammering a heated alpha ps sba blade I was able to start spell research without int erupting the hammering.

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

Redo quest/events implementation to send/receive, also remove XML.

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.

Currently, all crafting requires a full setup of equipment (fixed-in-the-world crafting containers) for that craft. This makes sense for some crafting skills such as blacksmithing and to an extent alchemy; however, basic cooking and herbalism (and other crafts TBD) should be possible with only portable crafting containers (such as a campfire and pan or a simple, portable mortar and pestle). This would also require new crafting books: “Campfire Recipes” anyone?

In the old version, there was a small inventory without the character part. It could be useful for trading etc.

The skybox texture doesn’t seem to be correctly scaled to the skyboxes. Its borders are cropped and this results in very sharp and somewhat odd skylines:

PS 0.5.5

Goto NPC , Pay for Drawing Lessons.

Skills Tab under Jobs shows previous Drawing +green temporary level.

when quitting game and reloading, it shows correct normal value of total drawing level.

Log in with main char.
create shortcut
log out
log in with another char.
shortcut created with main character shows on all alternates.

Log in with separate account
shortcuts from main account are also transferred to here

i have tried to set up shortcuts for a number of things, one issue was that an attempt to initiate nightvision was causing an attempt to fish instead. i moved the icons about but same issues occured. not i have cleared shortcuts and i have nothing working at all. all i get on attempts to set shrotcuts is a message saying ‘the key is already assigned’

tried refreshing game and still the same.

Moving of a short cut overwrites the old one – likely to cause problems with people randomly deleting SCs they want. [FEAT]

(moved from defect # 6066)

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

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.

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

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.

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 )

these two npcs need to be separated a bit outside their house at 1 AM

The quest Right on the Mine uses a quest item named Hamel Provision and at one point it’s supposed to be given to Gardr. Currently that does not happen. The quest will progress, but the quest item remains stuck in the inventory. It can be placed into storage, but otherwise there’s no way to get rid of it.

Hello, Dev-Team,

here are two requests for the character creation in psu:

1. The speaker speaks too quietly! I know its you, Talad, but the background music overwhelms your voice!

2. I miss a “Back”-Button because if i go into the chara creation but dont want to create a new character and want to go back to my character which already are there!

I had discussed this with Sarva who liked the idea and asked me to enter it into the Tracker.

Add a “reason” to the “report” command:
Usage: report [player name] [reason]

In case it takes a while to implement this, meanwhile at least add to the command description that the reporting player also files a petition because this makes it easier for the Game Masters to check what happened.

Thank you for listening (reading),

Gonger

I had heard that over a skill threshold, repairing weapons/armour does not reduce maximum quality.
Yet I repaired a weapon with 201 skill (with jewellery) and dropped from max quality of 200 to 199.

Maybe the Jewellery isn’t working properly, as without it, I would be under the threshold I had heard about.

Also Bones attribute was not removed, the whole reason I repaired it at 197/200.

Maybe this is as intended, but if Bones cannot be removed, then getting a Masterwork Bones Platinum Sword from your first and only run through of the Keen Edge quests (currently not completable) is xtremely bad luck after the time it takes to get 100 in sword (even more in UE).

The description of the “Armor Repair Kit” says
“To use it equip the armor and type /repair <location> in the chat window. Example /repair boots ,/repair torso ,/repair gloves ,/repair arms” according to the examples it should be /repair pants to repair the “<armor type> Pants”.

I noted that previous bug report 4573, similar in nature, has been closed. I reached out to GMs and it was confirmed that once a broadsword has been furrowed into a blade then the only option is to then make it into a kit. The flow as of 04/04/2015 looks like stock>alpha>beta>delta>brittle>dull>rough>blade (gap) heated>super>red>stock.

If the expected results of working broadswords is to have them be a one time blade, then these extra steps (heated>super>red>stock) are confusing. If the expected results is that the broadsword should be able to be worked from stocks to blade to stocks then currently the step to make the (final) blade into a heated blade is missing.

currently the spell will drain well over 1000 mana points
normal max mana is 500

perhaps full duration of a cast at full power could drain 500

Grinding Kingsfoil or Wyn Pulp to Paste works in a reasonable time.

But trying the same with Red Mangrove or Sinaflar takes much more time than my Mental Stamina (669) offers. The result is a "Pile of Dust". Did someone move a decimal position?

riding a mount can be strange. there is the usual sit on saddle look, standing on saddle with knees bent, standing sideways like on a surfdoard or skate board, and there is side saddle. not yet had the reversal of riding position this time, yet. if you sit side saddle, stand like surfing/skateboarding, you walk/run crablike.

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?

As reported by Stalfos

“Something’s Brewing” If you accept Narwin’s drink ““Thought you’ nev’ offer!…” the other option doesn’t disappear: “How many times must I tell you,…” you can’t get the kegs until you click it. Later Jarda also has both options available, the drunken and sober speech options.

“Kimlorm Needs a New Prayer Book”, “Kimlorm sent me” remains an option after you have clicked it.

Request for to list additional Items at the Quest Description.

I would like to have the Items aligned to the related Quests in the Descriptions to get a better Overview and some more Clues in Quests. The descriptions right now are a bit spare, my request is like this

Quest Description
XxxxX ask you for This (to go there).
(Where at some Quests the Place should obviously dont revealed.

But mainly:

Sometimes when talking to an NPC during a quest, it’s not obvious that saying something will end it early. For example, in the Dizzy Bevon quest, telling Charisa that you can’t get into the Winch abruptly ends it. Meaning you will never see the rest of that quest, even if you get Winch access. I thought that she would wait instead, which would be more fair to players. Apparently this game wasn’t as forgiving as I imagined. Failing quests is especially annoying when it involves typed answers too, where a typo or not being specific enough will cost you the quest. (Even if you knew the right answer.)

First of all, I feel there shouldn’t be an option to finish a quest early unless you fail, the options being either you complete it fully or save it for later. This would be much more player-friendly. I didn’t even fail the quest, I just couldn’t get into the Winch. I feel like I was punished for being honest, and possibly have missed out on some reputation forever.

Who in the right mind would back out of a quest after accepting it, anyway? I doubt anyone does it intentionally. These sorts of choices should be greatly reduced. It only makes sense during evil quests where you might feel bad about what you’re doing. If someone is feeling lazy or is busy, then they can complete the quest later, like in any other game. If these dialog options are going to remain in the game, then it may be better if they had a warning such as (ENDS QUEST), while the true ending of the quest could say (COMPLETES QUEST). This would help players avoid making infuriating mistakes like mine.

Secondly, sometimes it is too easy to fail a quest when typed answers are involved. In the Stolen Dagger (sp?) quest from Ojaveda where you have to tell Enach what it looked like, if you say “diamond”, or “diamonds”, instead of “diamonds and opals”, you will get the uneventful ending. This is made even more ridiculous because the answer is in your quest log, so it shouldn’t be possible to get it incorrect anyway. But you only get one chance. Basically, I feel quests that rely on typed text should be more forgiving, because sometimes it’s not about whether you’re right or wrong. Rather, it may depend on how many variations of the correct answer there are, so a lot of the time it isn’t the player’s fault. Sure, maybe “diamond” isn’t that specific, but it definitely narrows it down. If I say diamond, Enack should say something like “Anything else?”.

October 25, 2013 If 'User Interface' the wrong "Area", please move this request to where it should be.

This feature request is to provide a VIEW ONLY capability for stored items in our inventory, regardless of where we are located in the game. To be able to view exactly what we would see if we were standing in front of a storage NPC would be ideal and would be in character.

We could sit for hours and log all of our stored inventory items in a book and update it, but gaming is meant to be fun.

By granting this request it would be easier for players to:

• Help new arrivals to PlaneShift

• Help merchants know exactly how many items they have stored away that could be sold at the marketplace

• Grant auction requests much faster since we wouldn't need to run to a storage NPC to see if we have the requested item

• Complete quests. For example, we'd see we only need 2 more tefu-skins or one more gold ingot to complete a quest

lesser piles of dust (seem to be from emeralds) get assigned a number that is negative. As these are not loot they should not be going through the function that assigns a value. Crafted weapons do not get a value.

Narrow gateways that were easily passable for mounts in Legacy are now hard or even impossible to get through. One example is the first stairs going down in the Welcome Area. It takes several tries with jumping to get through. And speaking of jumps, they are much lower than in Legacy, so fences in Hydlaa have become unsurmountable.

Today morning I accidentally destroyed (”sold”) my main weapon (a Frosty Crystal-Steel Battle Axe of Stone). This has happened earlier and to several other players, and it will happen again for sure. It would be very useful to have either
* an option for locking down some items in your inventory to prevent selling them
* a confirmation popup when selling items with a rarity of one in a million or more
* a way to retrieve items, e.g. as suggested in PS#5325
I know it is the players fault, but it can happen easily if there is a lot of lag or if the storage and trade windows happen to be placed on top of each other.

Since a while PSUnreal has a pop window in inventory that appears then hovering with the mouse pointer over inventory slots with items or containers in it.

It is a nice feature.

However in the top right slots of the inventory the popup window overlaps the slot the mouse pointer is over and slots in the neighborhood of it. It thus covers part of the inventory content which makes it more difficult to navigate to the right items.

# How to reproduce

- Move inventory window to the lower right corner of the PlaneShift Unreal window or screen.
- Put some items or containers in the top right inventory slots
- Hover with the mouse pointer over them.

# Actual results

When hovering over the top right slot the popup window covers 4 slots in the upper 2 rows seen from the top right corner of the inventory slot area.

It’s very easy to miss tells, greetings and etc. For example if I talk with NPC, NPC tab in chat selected. Other char comes and tries to start dialog with me. As I read what NPC says, I miss blinking in the Main tab, so I ignore that char. As for RP, it seems that I’m very impolite because ignoring other chars. Adding popup for messages addressed to me solve this problem and I can immediately(if I want) reply to char.

My suggestion(technical background):

• on each command like <CMD> <TO_PERSON_NAME> generate event with message(tell, greet, etc.)
• this message shows in the main view like other notifications
• this popups can be toggled off in settings

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.

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.

Not sure if this was adressed but I have a pile of quest items, that after the whipe Of quests Im not sure what I need to keep for Quest trees, or what I can get rid of. Trying to clean out my inventory/Quest items.

I Haven’t really tried to find a spoiler site that lists quest items and what they are for, or even if one exists

window resizing has no effect on the displayed information.

or that is as indented, and there should be no resize for it.
