Title: NPCs glyph giving-system message
Post by: Mordaan on March 12, 2008, 02:06:25 pm

This is a purely asthetic thing but I thought it deserved a mention and I didn't see anything with a search.

Currently the word "glyph" is left off the system message when an NPC gives you a glyph as part of a quest.
It will say "you have received a _____"

This can lead to some pretty interesting system messages like:

You have received a Death
You have received a Hand
You have received a Mind

and my personal favorite:
You have received a Life   ;D

Perhaps it makes more sense to say ... a ____ glyph ?  Makes things a little more clear.

Ah, that's true...I didn't even thing about the message for dropping them.  I can't say I drop glyphs very often.

Wow, searched for this only to find it was my own wish from several years ago.

After Venalan and I mentioned it a few times, Talad updated the database, so soon all glyphs will have the name "glyph" in them.  It hasn't been done on the production server yet but next update.

Not really earth shattering or anything, just a nice little improvement...it will make system messages much clearer (not to mention the enchanting books).  So next time an NPC gives you a "life", it won't look so funny any more...you will now be given a "life glyph".   :)
