Feature Request | 5675 | No | Engine | Medium | Unconfirmed | Gornostaev Alexey | | Pop-up messages on other chars tells you smth | 18.06.2012 | | |
Task Description
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

Bug Report | 5524 | No | Engine | Medium | New | Greg | | Couple Of Small problems to be corrected? Knollege Req... | 12.06.2012 | | |
Task Description
I have noticed a few things that are Incorrect, not sure If anyone commented on them, Or If they are In Progress. I will jot them down all in one Report so not to make several reports…
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 Thank You For Your Time :)

Feature Request | 5477 | No | GUI | Medium | Unconfirmed | chris | | Gui improvements/inconsistencies | 20.12.2011 | | |
Task Description
Currently the GUI is one major flaw of Planeshift in my opinion, it makes it look worse than it deserves. A few examples:
Just try to play the tutorial on a 15 inch laptop (1366×768). As soon as you need to open up the inventory most of the screen is covered, you can’t even close the window because the top right cross is out of screen. I needed multiple tries to find a spot on that window to be able to drag it down and close it finaly.
The possibility to reduce the amount of tabs in the chat window is great but is also a pain in the a.. if every new guildmember needs to be guided through the processs of enabling the guildchat, even a restart is needed. Why not make this tab pop up if someone is in a guild…if the guild joins an alliance make this tab pop up. If not these two are hidden by default?
Playing this game now for around 5 years I think and at least I have the impression we get with every single release new commands to be used in shortcuts. Thats great, for advanced players…for new ones it is confusing. IMHO its time to take a breath and review them, sort them in order of importance and decide which should be used in the gui and how. Can’t remember how often I heard the question: “How do you mine ores”. A ‘logical’ way could be that you rightclick your character and get it as option (well now there is “introduce yourself”, does it do something?) when the rockpick is equipped, is the fishing rod equipped you fish as option. Also summoning your pet and mount is only possible via commands. The described way could make these also more accessible. (There are also illogical flaws, if mounted you can unmount after rightclick, but you don’t get the mount option when righclick on your mount)
Enough for now, hope you guys have enough time to think about it.

Task Description
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.
http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/5356/screenshot10dl.png http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/3158/screenshot9rm.png
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.

Task Description
A book is saved on the local disk with the custom title entered while writing its content. This is very inconvenient if the book has a quite verbose title, then the filename is just as verbose, and if you want to load this text into a copy of this book, you need to type exactly the same book title into the loading filename dialog. Or you need to know where books are located outside the game and rename the saved file there.
I'd like to be able to specify a brief filename to save a book to. The filename dialog may be pre-filled with the suggested filename based on the book title, but I'd like to change it before saving, if desired.

Feature Request | 5300 | No | Quests | Medium | Unconfirmed | Andrew Draskoy | | Suggestion for NPC default conversation when quests not... | 29.08.2011 | | |
Task Description
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.

Feature Request | 5325 | No | Inventory/Items | Medium | Unconfirmed | Enio Arda | | Buyback option for last sold item(s) to NPC | 15.07.2011 | | 4 |
Task Description
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?

Feature Request | 5259 | No | Crafting | Medium | Unconfirmed | nobody special | | Make Crafting more like combat | 03.07.2011 | | 1 |
Task Description
I would like it very much if crafting were to be redesigned more like combat. Instead of one action that takes many seconds to complete and generates only one practice or experience reward make it so that each hammer blow is considered and eligible for a reward. For example at level 10 it takes me about two minutes to turn 12 heated ore into 4 shield handles and I get one practice point and some experience at the end of that time. Under my proposed change it might take just as long but each hammer blow on the ingots would receive a success chance roll that would increment the percentage done. A series of low rolls would result in a failure, either junk metal or very low quality handles and a series of high rolls would result in faster time and/or higher quality handles. This would be analogous to hitting a mob until one of you is dead.
I believe this would be more fair in the long run and if it would seem to make great quality items too available the chance to succeed could be reduced.

just a idea for a simple rp command. entering /playdead will play the death animation and leave your character imobile similar to the sit command but you will be lying down instead. this can be usefull in roleplay where you are injured but not actually dead or if you want to role play your character going to sleep. entering /stand will cancel both /sit and /playdead. in later versions of the game perhaps this can be also be used to fool the less intelligant monsters like ulbernauts rats and some of the bugs into giving up the chase and loosing interest. i think it would be benificial to have a way to roleplay being wounded or dead without having to actually go to the death realm. say for example your character was killed in a roleplay setting you could use playdead to have a open casket funeral complete with a body that will not dissapear after a minute or two.

Feature Request | 5216 | No | NPC | Medium | Unconfirmed | mickra | | Visual indication of available quests | 20.05.2011 | | |
Task Description
When a player character is within the interaction range of an NPC, a mark (label) of some sort should appear above that NPC if they are offering some new or repeatable quests (! not some information for those already running !) for that particular character at that particular moment.
Should be optional as a turn-off or turn-on, depending on the default chosen by designers. In any case, and as with any other label, players should retain the option of not seeing it, if it spoils their fun or ruins their immersion somehow.
The reason for this request: drastically increased amount of questing chains ingame, and the absolutely unhealthy and immersion-breaking amount of mouse-clicking on the same NPCs the game now requires.
Noticing a sign above someone's head is OOC, of course, but clicking a mouse button on someone's model, or getting an aggressive red "…has no quest information for you" line floating in mid-air is equally OOC'ish. On the other hand, seeing no mark above someone's head would cause neither irritation nor disappointment (while futile mouse-targeting and mouse-clicking, when done repeatedly, invariably produces both of those negative effects). The marks would also provoke reasonable curiousity about available quests, hopefully enticing new players into doing more of them.
I know this request is somewhat of a long shot, but assuming that the engine is going to be considerably revisited this summer, I decided to submit it anyway.
[Edited for clarity, and also to separate it more from PS#4798. That older one would 'make the game easier' indeed, while what I suggest would only eliminate excessive mouse actions.]

Feature Request | 5230 | No | Engine | Medium | Unconfirmed | nobody special | | change to default action upon mob attack or player cast... | 19.05.2011 | | 1 |
Task Description
I would like it if you could set the default reaction to casting a spell or being attacked. I find it quite annoying to automatically be set to fully defensive when I cast a spell. I also find it annoying that when being attacked by a group of mobs your target focus jumps to whichever one hit you last.
When I cast electrotouch I want to hit my opponent and not change my stance. generally whenever I cast anything in melee I want to keep my previous stance. When I am in a pile I want to kill what I am fighting before I start on another one. If I want to fight a different one I can so choose manually. It is also annoying that you often jump to a different mob before you are able to loot what you have just killed.
It would be great if there was a section to set these in the options.
In the case of electrotouch I tried to add /attack normal to my shortcut but it was processed and discarded before the spell finished casting. I appreciate you probably don’t want long chains of commands to be processed in turn as it could lead to botting, otherwise I would ask for one command to finish processing before the next is considered. Still it would be nice to repair all my armor with one keypress instead of 5.

FR by Vakachehk:
I have an idea for mounts which will need some changes to some maps. For Rivnaks (maybe Drifters too) having stables in which without a ring you may summon them, and dismiss them, without any skill of any ring needed, maybe a tria fee of like 50trias every summon/dismiss (of course there's the obvious issue you un-mount and leave your Rivnak somewhere, either the game automatically dismisses it or it is able to be stolen via a player, or a mechanical guard comes and takes it back to the stable or whatever). Using your Ring of Summon Familiar you can use the skill Empathy to dismiss/summon/etc, anywhere at any time. Also I was thinking about the skill 'Riding' maybe this could be trainable and used in combat while on your rivnak?

Task Description
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.

Feature Request | 4256 | No | Quests | Medium | Assigned | mickra | JayRuaanAlison ColemankatuRon WhitbySemutaradrJack | Tilavi is in trouble, option request | 05.08.2010 | | |
Task Description
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.

Feature Request | 4513 | No | User Interface | Medium | New | Mario Rohkrämer | | Combat ratings in /targetinfo should mention a defense ... | 07.06.2010 | | |
Task Description
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.

Feature Request | 2956 | No | Combat | Medium | New | Orgonwukh | Davide Vescovini | Combat system calibration | 19.04.2010 | | |
Task Description
Combat system calibration
Short version:
I propose that in general the amount of damage dealt by any weapon or magic spell should decrease with the distance from the attacker to the target. Also, fast weapons should generally deal less damage than slow weapons. The combat system including both weapons and magic has to be more balanced.
Elaborated version:
Damage (D):
This is the amount of health points subtracted when an single attack is successful. Examples for magic are:
For weapons one has to include the levels and stats of attacker and target. As a reference I determine both attacker and target to have maxed stats and levels, full heavy armour equipped and to use two weapons at a time in bloody stance. The weapon damage is the average damage including the failed attacks. One could either ask a dev to look this up in the database or do a numberof attacks and measure the arithmetic mean. For convenience I determine the damage of short swords to be 500 HP. This value is not the value specified in the weapons properties, but the “real” damage dealt.
Maximum attack distance (MAD):
This is the maximum distance from which an attack can be made. MAD can be measured in game units (the values you get if you type /pos). One unit should be about 0.5 metres. Examples for magic and weapons are:
Attack speed (AS):
This is the time in seconds (s) between the starting of the attack and the moment when the damage is dealt. Examples:
Damage per second (DPS):
This is simply D divided by AS.
Effective Damage (ED):
I propose to let the DPS decrease linearly with the MAD. I introduce a factor (F) with which you can put more or less emphasis on the distance weighting. Based on the above assumed value of damage for short swords, I propose that the ED with a value of 500 should be used to weight all weapons and magic attack spells:
ED=F*(D/AS)*MAD=500 or ED=F*DPS*MAD=500
For F=1 this simply is
ED=(D/AS)*MAD=500 or ED=DPS*MAD=500.
Let us fix F=1 here for now for convenience. If my proposal for weighting is too daring or too conservative, we still can talk about setting a different value for F.
What does this mean?
Let us look at the weapons first and assume that the values for short sword are as I wrote above: AS=2, MAD=2 and D=500. Then DPS=250. This short sword deals an average damage of 250 HP per second. Since MAD=2, ED=500 HP. I have nothing to object concerning these values. This is my reference for the calibration of other weapons or magic spells from now on (see below).
Let us look at the spells: With a short sword you deal an average damage of 250 HP per seconds from a max. distance of 2 units. With Summon Missile you deal a damage of 100 HP per second from a max. distance of 57 units. With Flying Rocks you deal a damage of 225 HP per second from a max. distance of 74 units. Is that fair? Does it make sense that more damage can be dealt from a safe distance? This “unfairness” is reflected in the ED values of the spells:
We notice that the value of ED is way higher for spells than for the short sword. Flying Stones also have a very high MAD and hence a high ED value. If we assume that my proposal is appropriate for evaluation of the power of weapons and magic, this means that Summon missile is 7.4 times more powerful than using short swords and Flying Stones is 33.3 times more powerful than short swords. I think that is quite a realistic reflection of the current state
Calibration
I propose to calibrate weapons and spells by setting the values of D, AS and MAD in a way that the ED is about the same for all of them. In case we use the short sword for a reference, we could adjust the values for Summon Missile and Flying Stones by reducing the MAD, for example To do this we solve the equation for ED in regards to MAD:
MAD=500*AS/D
Then the values for the calibrated spells would be:
If you think this attack range is too low, there is the possibility to calibrate the spells by setting the damage after solving the equation for ED in regards to D:
D=AS*500/MAD
Then the values would be:
It is also possible to calibrate the AS with AS=D*MAD/500. You can also try out different trade offs between D, AS and MAD as long as ED=500. As long as the ED is the same for all weapons and spells, the relation between damage dealt per second and the attack range is maintained.
Calibration will also be helpful once the attack range for weapons is implemented. Let us examine the calibration of the broad sword and let us assume that this sword has a damage value of D=750:
So the attack range is the same while the attack speed and damage differ. One might think that it is more important to increase the attack range instead of the damage because of the bigger size of the broad sword. So let us assume that the damage value for the broad sword is D=600:
This seems to me an appropriate representation of the differences between the weapons: A broad sword has a longer range and deals more damage, but is slower than a short sword.
Final notes
This is a proposal for balancing the combat system. All values of weapons and magic are either estimations or assumptions. Feel free to provide the true values, if possible. Since the ezpcusa server exists, this might be a good opportunity to try such a system out. My assumptions about the levels, stats, armour and weapon properties of attacker and target are subjective and should be discussed.
Limitations:
Maxed levels were assumed, the properties of lower lever levels are unknown to me. But when known, those levels can be calibrated as well. I did not include the amount of mana needed for the spells yet. A simple rule could be to have a linear relationship between damage dealt and mana used (maybe 1 to 10, so you can still kill a 800 HP opponent with 222 mana, which is the maximum at the moment as far as i know). While the attack area of spells is a circle with a radius of AD (you just have to be closer than AD, facing direction is disregarded) while the target is in the centre of the circle, the area for weapons is much smaller because the attacker has to face the target. It should be something similar to a triangle. This disadvantage of weapons is not accounted for here. On the other hand, it is assumed that a spell caster casts spells as fast as possible. This disadvantage is not accounted for here, either. If those differences between weapons and spells is considered too big, you can think about setting F to another value than 1 for an appropriate weighting. Once spells and weapons are calibrated, prices should as well be calibrated. You could either raise the weapon training costs or lower the magic training costs. Maybe doing both is a good idea.
Advantages:
Using this calibration, it is possible to design various weapons and spells which are different concerning D, AS and MAD, but they are weighted in a more appropriate way than it is the case now. Your choice of weapons is based on what you prefer: range, damage, speed or a weighting/combination of them. Combat can be balanced and become more interesting once players fight each other with different properties of their weapons and attack style. The work for the devs is small. You need to change a single value for each weapon and spell.

Feature Request | 4237 | No | GUI | Medium | New | Seytra | | Ability to add custom tabs to chat window | 23.03.2010 | | 1 |
Task Description
In order for the custom channels to be useful, they need a convenient interface. The need for typing /x before stuff isn’t terribly annoying, but also not terribly convenient. However, the biggest issue is that with multiple such channels, all talk gets mangled into one. The designation for the originating channel doesn’t help much in that case.
Therefore it would be nice to be able to create and assign custom tabs to channels, which would then function just like any of the built-in tabs. It would be even nicer if that arrangement could be stored, which would go very well with the auto-joining of custom channels proposed elsewhere.

Feature Request | 3553 | No | Engine | Medium | New | Pascal Detrait | | Idea proposition for Drawing skill | 16.02.2010 | | |
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

Feature Request | 3511 | No | Engine | Medium | New | Seytra | | Ideas for inventory accessibility | 15.02.2010 | | 1 |
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.

Bug Report | 3684 | No | Inventory/Items | Medium | | Seytra | Suilensh | NPCs don't accept split stacks traded | 11.01.2010 | | |
Task Description
When an NPC wants more than one item, but you have the items in different slots (even containers, like when your inventory is full and you can’t easily make room for the full stack), the trade won’t complete, even if the total sum of all items traded is the right amount. It should not matter if you give an NPC a stack of 63 items or ten stacks of ten items plus one of three, or seven of nine( ), etc..
Edit: they also don’t get given the items when they’re in the right amount but in different stacks / sacks in the inventory. One gets “You have to give manually, because you got too many items” instead. /Edit
