Title: The Item Generator
Post by: Valbrandr on August 06, 2005, 11:47:31 am

How long will it be until the item generator is fixed?  Right now every rat drops a sword.  Which accumulates into thousands of tria in very short periods of time, I got 10000 tria in about 10 min or less.  I know there is going to be a \"small wipe\"  but what can be done if people are training their character with this money?  Even if what they have left is taken.. the damage  may already be done.

I know what you mean.  I am seriously hoping they will wipe stats as well as items and trias.  I have 5000 ill-gotten trias that I don\'t want to spend on stats in case they don\'t wipe those, as previously stated.  This is a huge imbalance, and I intend not to take advantage of it in case they do not wipe everything.

I will do the same.  Knowing that it will put us at a huge disadvantage... Unless it is changed soon.

I have ceased killing rats. At first I though the swords were cool, but then I realized so much money so fast, its scary what the \"jocks\" (level-mongers) will do with them. Please dont wipe my stats I got very lucky at character gen and they are nearly perfect for what I want to do. All I\'ve been doing is killing gobbles, and gobbles give legitimate broadswords and hexas. Please donttake Drakes stats *falls to the floor begging* I just want to roleplay and enjoy myself, please dont make us all start over again!

The devs said the next wipe, will be a inventory wipe. But of course they may change their minds.

And Drake, why didn\'t you just write down what you did in character creation?

Just before I got stuck going through to another area, there was a message saying the server was going down so they could do something to the loot from monsters.  Didn\'t get to see the whole message though.

the rats now drop rat tails instead of the swords

i log out at around 7 a.m. EST for 5 mins to read some forums, I go to log back in, it says theserver is down, I wait a minute, it says its up, I log in a kill a rat since it was in my way, it droped a tail instead of a sword.  So balance has somewhat been restored.

Yes, it seems that the little rats no longer have licenses to carry sharp objects... nothing more pointy than their tails.

But on the other hand, the gobbles now sometimes let you shear off an ear to take with you.

yep, no more falchions from rats and thats a very good thing. its stupid making money that easy. but with the new training it seems that the rolls of money and PP have switched round... like 20pp barely shows up as a blue bar on my sword training thing.

Thats because at the moment, the more levels you have in a particular skill, the more you have to train it.  If you have level 7 sword, for example, it takes around 100 PP to go up one level.  Im not sure if its temporary or a new skill system.

its acctually a pretty easy system like here

lvl 1 - 3pp\'s
lvl2 - 6pp\'s
lvl3 - 12pp\'s
lvl4 - 24 pp\'s
lvl5 - 48 pp\'s
etc..

just double the number thats the number of pp\'s for the next lvl.

I dont know what the big deal about it is... everyone is getting the items, and there are only about 10 items in the game...

heh yeah i just found that out myself oh well, guess its hard for me to figure it out  lol

Rats dropping tails makes a lot more sense than them carrying swords. :d

And gobbles dropping Hexa? All I\'ve ever gotten from a gobble is a broadsword and a single tria. x.x

and teffies dropping claws and skins, very valuable ^^

I feel so left out.
Course I haven\'t played yet today so I maybe just missed the items fix.

Now I don\'t have to spend hour toiling away for rat eyes/hides.

So the infamous new looting system has finally been sswitched on...Hmm...Good thing in a way...

Title:
Post by: SeiDaneic on August 07, 2005, 04:00:14 pm

I think the new looting system works better than what we had before. I remember having half a hundred progression points that I couldnt use for anyhting causer I never had any money to speak of. It seems much more balanced now. That skills take more prog pts and money to upgrade doesnt bother me that much.

The time falchions were available was from 8:00 PM- 12:00 AM central.  Even if an inventory wiped occured, it wouldnt fix what was spent on stats.

So there hasn\'t been a little wipe yet?  I hope not, my inventory has a variety of axes which I would hate to lose!


Three hours of rats dropping swords..... someone could have definately made tens of thousands.  Hopefully they spread the wealth rather than powerlevel.

Post by: neko kyouran on August 07, 2005, 10:50:55 pm

excuse me for my noobness, but i thought the only way to level your stats was to add progression points to each stat.  i don\'t remember reading anything in the player guide about being able to use money to upgrade a stat.  but I could have overlooked that.

Title:
Post by: Valbrandr on August 07, 2005, 11:01:00 pm

Yeah but you need so much money to spend progression points.  

This sucks.  I know too many people know who have tons of money from that.. all they need is pp.  I see atleast one person on the strength list that shouldnt be there.  No way you can go up over 10 str in one day.  Not to mention that race doesnt start very high.

i didn\'t make much money of the rats glitch drop and if there is a small wipe would it get rid of everything in your inventory because i have 5 glyphs that i got myself with out the rats money! so i would hate to lose them
