Some problems I encoutered...
« on: August 06, 2005, 09:54:32 am »
Just started playing cb today and I noticed a bunch of stuff I didn\'t notice before.

Don\'t know if this belonged in the wish list or not, if it does could a mod move it pls? Thanks. :)

1. Fall damage. What happend to it?

2.Stuck. I\'m getting stuck like 10000 more times that I did before the wipe.

3. /spawn in dr. When I died I went to the dr and fell down into the black place on the bottem. I couldn\'t get back up even with the /unstick command until like my 100th try. So, I propose having something like /spawn inly in the dr that will take you back to the begining of the dr.

4. Brown way of magic. I tried for like 40 mins to get my brown way of magic up in char creation and I don\'t think there are enough options to do so. The most I got brown to was 4 and azure right above it which I would never use was at 14.

5. Last names. My MB charecter was named killerv so I had to name my guy killerv and I made Aduro his last name. Now I can\'t make Efflixi Aduro as a second char because the last name is in use. So, could we have it so chars under the same account can share a last name? That way people can\'t steal your last name but if you want to make a wife for one of your chars or somthing you can keep the  same last name.

I can\'t believe someone who\'s been here as long as you have still doesn\'t know where to put threads.

No need.  Just /unstick a few times in a row, and you\'ll spawn at the beginning of the DR.

I got stuck like that earlier today and I did /unstick many times in a row. Sometimes it will put you in the DR and sometimes not... but I found a way that will work!

type /unstick and immediately hit the up arrow key and enter. That makes it do /unstick twice really really fast in a row and will spawn you in the DR. Good to know :)

I have 95% of my shortcuts set to buttons, so I just hit ` twice.  :P  You can\'t move between uses.  If there\'s a time-limit to hit it, it might be too fast...

To answer your first question: gravity is pretty broken at the moment, including fall damage.

I haven\'t got back online yet because I\'m on Mac but I am surprised to learn that you can\'t use the same last name as another player. Very unrealistic. Even unrelated people can share the same surname so it seems wierd not to be able to choose a last name because it is already in use. What if my husband and I wanted to get married in game?

I agree with Pip, in the UK alone there are thousands of people who share the last name Smith for example; and as for first names, in real life I\'m called Joe, in the sleepy little town where I live I know at least 10 other Joes.
So in short it is ridiculous not to say absurd one player only with that name.

I can see why from the point of view of the mechanics of the game that it is necessary to restrict first names, but last names shouldn\'t matter.

First names need to be unique for the buddy list and tells to work, and last names are probably required to be unique for the marriage system.  Though, I agree, last names shouldn\'t have to be unique.

I agree, at least definitely not under the same account.

Or with the unstick thing, I just made a \"Panic Button\" or if you wish to call it \"Suicide Button\". I just used these commands in it:

/unstick
/unstick

Works like a charm And real easy to use. Just one click. :]  :rolleyes:
