Re: Up to 5 SIMPLE things you would like to see implemented.

[theirah]

in that case, perhaps make pausing usable only with equipping and dequipping? I've run into that problem as well

1. I'm sure this is being worked on, but balancing experience points and looting to a creature's toughness. There is definitiely some imbalances in the game, particularly with rogues.

2. Remove the awarding of special weapons from rogues and other mobs. Everyone is running around with a dozen swords on their back that are magical or have special properties. Tria and regular weaponry should be a fine reward, and really help the crafters. A low level swordcrafter should be able to sell his Q75 sword for something, even if it is just a little more than for a normal sword.

3. A medium armor trainer in Oja would be nice...unless I've missed it.

4. A smithy, tavern, and other "comforts of home" places in the Bronze Doors area, to make it a viable place to remain and adventure from, like Hydlaa and Oja. Right now "It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there."

5. A place to keep things. I know this is being worked on, but it would be nice to have a "home" to stash things in taht I don't need immediatley, but don't want to get rid of, either. I am really looking forward to that.

3. Please keep in mind that the Ojaveda you know is really just one of the dsars. For all we know, there's a medium armour trainer in Ojaveda, but he's quarantined. As such, they aren't gonna have every skill you need until the plague lifts.

4. I should hope you wouldn't want to live there. It's not a town, it's a fort. As for a smithy, it's to be assumed they have one but not for civilian use.

Historically towns built up around forts so that the people could gather for safety and also sell things to the fort holders. There is a fair amount of arable land below the fort and it is likely some of the hardier type people would brave the odd influx of labyrinthine invaders.

There are ruins in front of the EBD. People have tried...they're just not hardy enough.

4.) Fix some of the most glaring NPC conversation holes, especially where it concerns quests

It's been said time and time again "NPCs are stupid - make them smarter" I'd like to direct you to http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=29353.0 it's stickied on this forum too.

Now that being said... if you find you're in a quest, and have tried phrase after phrase after similar phrase, and finally hit the right one. please message me with the following:
The name of the quest, and your logs from it. we'll do our best to get phrases that make sense added to the quest

[Jeraphon]

Well, that was from three months ago, Eriroley, but it's still relevant and thanks for the thread bump.

6. PPlease add some hardy people in the Bronze Doors area.

Okay, I'll admit, that made me chuckle. I don't see it happening, however, and it's not as simple as one might think. Suffice to say that not every area is meant to be settled in. But more settlements will come for your habitation needs.

So go live there. What are you, some kind of wuss?

[Rjal]

Myself, I could go for some more clothing options- for decoration's sake, mostly. I'm still a newb, but I haven't run across any buyable non-armour clothing.  I'm sure it will come, and our Esteemed Development Team has more important things, but I'm an impatient chap.

As for the Bronze Doors, where an Army sets up, civilians will eventually follow, if only to cater to the soldiers (and make a tria or two). The fact that they haven't yet doesn't concern me unduly, though.

double check the subject... 5 *SIMPLE* things...     While it sounds great, I'm not sure that that's exactly a simple thing to add in :-)

Though the idea has been proposed before.

[bilbous]

@Baron So go occupy one of the more complete ruins. Set up a shop, etc Use an alt for resupply and or a clerk.

[Xanthan]

I just went over my posts in the original thread, and was pleased to note that of the seven suggestions I posted, four have been implemented.  Way to go, devs!!!

Thank you.
