That's not true. When I really really need to take a nap and I just don't care to watch tv or read .. it works wonders esp with a gamepad.

egg, when can we start doing this again?

diseased arrows

A diseased tint sounds pretty OP for pvp, considering it like instantly halves someones hp.

Thats exactly why I opted to suggest so many types of arrows, to start a consensus about what types would be within reason.

Mainly I was trying to get the idea of ANY special arrow implemented.

But yes, it'd probably be pretty OP

allow crafting skill to be bought up to 90 or even 100, good gold sink ... yay/nay?

Wayyyy back I GM'd some of my skills because there was a rumour of a gold wipe, I forget how much gold it cost to max a skill...

EDIT

make taming where when you feed the pet, you face that direction to help block.

[CinisterD]

may i make a taming suggestion?

Sure EmoMage, go right ahead.

Thank you. Taming is a slow ass skill.

Yes it is Emo, but what is your suggestion?

I'm glad you asked!! When you attack something, your "direction" changes to that certain direction of the attack. (this goes without saying, very obvious) When you move in a certain direction, same thing. My question partaining to taming would be, (I GM'd block just for this taming reason) when we USE the food in the direction of the mob, can our "direction" change as well? I notice I block more when facing the creature, but i always seem to be facing away from it, too. Is that an easy fix, or rather, is that acutally a bug?

On the subject of taming:
Can we start a conversation to gain skill xp for ATTEMPTING to feed a pet, rather than only gaining xp for actually feeding it?

Not like your half assing anything, your still trying to tame, and in theory, continuing your attempt to tame the animal.

The reason taming takes so long is that you have to get the pets to eat to gain xp. (or i've overlooked some major element of taming )

(I have GM taming, so not like it benefits me. Just want to save thousands of hours for players on taming)

should be very easy to fix & useful & sensible - if only you posted in one line instead of all the gibberish at the beginning

Actually, you already get xp/skillups when you try but fail to feed a potential pet. It's only when you try to feed it something that it doesn't want to eat that you don't get the xp/skillup.

Well....damn.

fixed, and i'm sorry. tis a one liner now.

can this be fixed to be like stealth? when you fail, you still get XP. (or in this case, when it's not hungry; you still gain XP because you're trying)

I'm in the middle of taming now, and i'll tell ya, it's a chore.

and actually, it'll be like all other skills IMO if you do that, because even when you fail to make something (I.E. omeletes), you still gain the XP.

Hmm, I think that might be an over simplification since you'd basically be gaining taming by repeatedly trying to feed a pet that is already full (you wouldn't even be using up food, since it wouldn't accept any).

[EmoMage]

you can stop that for already tamed pets tho. keep it turned off for those ones.

You should be able to keep feeding a potential pet (grey/reg health bar). Those don't get full until they become your pet (green health bar).

[EmoMage]

exactly, on the grey/redd health bars, you're ACTUALLY taming. you're TRYING to get that as your pet. when it becomes green health bar, taming doesn't matter, you move to the next one. Hence, (basically) turn taming off for the ACTUAL pets, (with the green health bars).

You already gain skill when you try to feed something wtih a grey/red health bar (as long as it has the right difficultly level - i.e., not too easy, and you are feeding it something it can eat). You do gain skill even when you fail to feed it in that state.

[EmoMage]

i know, but didn't you say that "the ***** does not seem hungry" you don't get skill? you get that message when red/grey health bars.

[Severian]

i know, but didn't you say that "the ***** does not seem hungry" you don't get skill? you get that message when red/grey health bars.

You gain skill with those messages, as long as the target is difficult enough to tame and the target still has grey/red health bars.

[EmoMage]

then i misunderstood. i retract all other statements.
