    I bought the Veil during the artifact promotion, because I got a piece and Ultrix sold me another piece, so I got it at a pretty significant discount. I primarily bought it because Team Magick was rolling Aakrin/Alvetta/Risca/Eldreth/Seraphyne and basically half of their big names were impossible to detect without one, and I said the same "I'll just use it to find them" stuff right before wearing it 24/7 anyways.

    I don't wear it to hide from fights, though. I wear it all the time because it hides me from Foreboding Stones and traces and other such things, and that's basically the best thing ever. I mean, let's be honest here. I own a Foreboding Stone and that means that you couldn't jump me anyways, because I'd just avoid the fight if I didn't want it. The only real way you could successfully jump me would still require you to own a Veil to bypass my Stone.

    I'll add to this that having a way to toggle the concealing effects of a veil on allies would be great. Something like CONFIG VEIL <ALL|ENEMIES|OFF> would be a really solid QoL change for the owners of(and allies of) people who own the particularly expensive artifact. Plus, those people who say "I just own the veil to find other veil-owners" could actually do what they claim they'd like to do and make it easier for fights to come to them. =D
    If they were really your ally, they would have set up a trigger to respond with their room number when you asked them for their location! :)

    This is deliberate. While the fully-hidden functionality of the gem of cloaking is used more rarely, it still exists, and this change would allow it to be trivially bypassed.

    Could the "bucket of wheel grease" go by the keyword "grease#####" instead of "bucket#####"?

    It is very frustrating to be trying to douse firewalls with a bucket full of wheel grease, because I keep trying to fill the wrong bucket. :(

  • EoghanEoghan Member, Immortal Posts: 1,073 mod
    It previously responded to both "bucket" and "grease". However, since its effect is passive and you rarely need to reference it directly anyway, I see no harm in making that change. The "bucket of wheel grease" will now only respond to "grease".

    On the general topic of 'Improving Imperian', I really think the documentation on the game, particularly the information lacking in several AB and regular helpfiles could do with some improvement. Things are changed or stated in Announce posts, and I haven't played for several years, and then I'm expected to know them by combing through announce posts instead of just reading the helpfile or ability file for them. Two examples from the last 24 hours: Enhancements not working on sabres or claymores(not listed in AB ENHANCEMENTS), and Shardfall zones being Open PK(Not listed in help shards).

    I think if the game wants to get new players or old players back, you need to have accurate information presented as simple as possible.
  • KhizanKhizan Member Posts: 2,648 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Berserkers have an issue where the ATTACK verb with rage activated generates rage without ever spending it, which means that if you try to bash just using 'attack' you hit 80% rage and then end up getting perma-reckless. Berserkers end up having to code their own ATTACK variant to burn rage, and this is irritating.

    It would be nice if the ATTACK verb would burn rage as it's generated somehow. Thunder at 30% or something.

    I remember Khizan once saying that mentioning on forums about a customisation waiting for approval was helpful in getting things approved in a timely fashion.

    It would improve my Imperian so much if my vialbelt didn't clash with my outfit. =DD

    As you tentatively open the small box, it bursts into brilliant golden light that blinds you completely. As your vision slowly
    clears, a weak, quavering voice says, "I may be gone, Khizan, but you shall take a piece of me with you..."
    You have been granted a tattered map of the Trabine Reserve and an extra clan slot.

    That is an incredibly crappy phylactery reward. It can't be traded in and it's useless for people without 10 clans.

    This is awful, can he please not do this anymore? I don't mind this attack in and of itself, but I hate it when he chains this thing endlessly and you get to hit him like once a minute. It's easily taking well over half an hour to kill him because he's never in the freaking room.

    Let's be honest here. I only quickdraw all the time right now because I am too lazy to implement my "am I wielding the correct morphing form" notwithstanding the fact that @Garryn was very kind and implemented a longform check in gmcp for my first world problems.

    On the other hand, I do find it hilarious when you see someone spam quickdraw a dozen times in a row -- you know someone hit the lag monster hard and everything just went through all at once.

    The change to quickdraw is awesome, but it seems to be bugged now.

    Your attempt to quickly draw and wield your items has failed.

    You are holding:
    Wielded:

    It's not clearing the right hand when you try to quickdraw a 2h item with both hands full, and then it fails because you don't have two empty hands.
