Title: Question About Mounts
Post by: Buzzurks on December 14, 2009, 03:05:41 am
Do mounts respawn in the same places over a period of time or do you just have to find them randomly?

Not sure where to put this question, excuse me if it's not in the right section.

In a certain town i saw a flying manta-ray thing?

then server had issues, and i haven't seen it since......

that's how they are implemented right now. but after the spread of griefing which we noticed on ezpcusa we aren't going to add mounts on laanx for now.

No mounts?? Well i must say no offence or anything but what is the point in 0.5? Its making PS (laanx) smaller, i dont see anyone on anymore. No one around means no one to RP with. And also i cant even play. I can get on but my screen is black all i see is Vakachehk's Torso. Honestly i must say Steel Blue is much more reliable then Arcane Crystalis. This is only my opinion.

Of course it's more reliable, it's an older release and the code had matured.

In time things will iron out. Or at least, we all better pray they do.

We didn't say no mounts, we said no mounts yet.

Yeah, if you ever played new builds of games, when they aren't properly beta'd, then the code is usually kinda scratchy. It'll presumably get better in time.

So all of you are saying in 6 months time Arcane Crystalis will be easyer to play then now even if it is still on 0.5.00??? ???

Not: no one answered my first question. Whats the point in 0.5?

As far as the game not being properly beta tested goes ... It is !
Guess what ? Your one of the testers :)

Fair point, I guess then that it's confusing having a beta... for a beta.

The game is alpha, your argument is invalid.

  • Improved dropping of items.
Title: Re: Question About Mounts
Post by: Tuxide on December 17, 2009, 05:34:10 am
whats this include??? cus i cant drop items unless i do /drop so and so, if its sposed to be like that, then i dont think its vaery improved
You can now move and rotate items around on the ground before they actually drop.  Talad once told me he wanted something like this, but the current triple-click interface isn't as polished as what we saw in Google Lively.

Mounts are removed because currently it's easy to grief with them, plain and simple.

To drop things now it takes 3 clicks. The first click you can move the item around until you get it where you want it. The second click lets you rotate the item so you can face it the right way. The third click drops the item. Once you get the hang of it it makes it much easier to position items the way you want them.

Eh eh. Can someone detail a bit what happened, for the amusement of those who weren't there?  ;D I haven't found a thread describing it.

If you are dismounted, prepare to be butchered by my cutthroat cavalcade.

If you are mounted, you will be righteously lanced by my mounted horde.

I claim every road, every outpost, and every wildland in Yliakum as Cutthroat Band territory.

as there were less mounts as testers and the mounts were free for all, there was some kind of hunting for mounts even including hiding them in ridiculous places so others couldn't find them.
accordingly people would probably hide them in guildhouses, etc. on laanx so nobody else can use them just for the purpose of them having one as they relog.
as you may imagine, putting mounts like that on laanx wouldn't make any sense (especially as there were only 4 mounts or something like that one ezpc), especially if you take the comparable big amount of players into account
