----- Original Message ----- From: Kiri Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2000 4:13 PM Subject: Newsletter April 4, 2000 Please feel free to submit your ideas, replies to ideas, bios and more. Krugar: The AREAS command could speed reading if it displayed areas sorted by name instead of builder. Kiri -- this has been suggested before and will be done. Its actually going to be quite a HUGE job that will take me some time, however, so don't expect it right away. Smegol: how about a skill for druids or elves that uncurse weapons and eq. (removing the noremove-flag) Kiri -- I think this would make things too easy. Drew: How about a BR version of "Who wants to be a Millionaire, except instead of winning cash you could win enhancements? and maybe as a bonus you could beat up Regis Philbin? Kiri -- god no, please. Draelyn: I think charmed/glared mobs should be able to have aliases as well. Mathis: not have mobs get healed up after repop Kiri -- they get points back, just like you, but usually not all of their hps, it depends on how badly they are hurt when it repops. Mathis: when you try to summon, and it says that the area is protected, you really shouldn't lose mana when that happens Mathis: for those long trips that require traveling long distances in a direction, cant there be a command like 'all e' and that would take you all the way e as far as it could go. or like, 18s would take you 18 moves s Hiddukel: A detect good spell. Doesn't matter which race Copper: Since races in BR are controlled by guilds mostly, why not on occasion have the guildmasters (when you go to prac a new skill) assign you a "in guild only task/quest" like to find a certain item or kill a certain mob within your lvl range before the Kiri -- unfortunately, participation in quests is so low it seems pointless to go to all this work for something people will not use. Stilgar's Ideas: Have more quests where more people can participate and that don't last so long. I like exploring areas, but I don't like to spend more than an hour or two on the comp. (my eyes hurt after about an hour...) Poem quests are nice, but I think that maybe you should get something just for entering with a serious poem. Hopefully there can be more so that more people can win something (like me) and that those who have won already can't participate for a while (which I have not done as of yet). Also, it would be really helpful if you can announce quests on the newsletter. I seldom read my notes 'cuz its a pain to keep track of which is which. Also, Avains should have infravision with birdseye or vision. Maybe when you get birdseye you automatically infravision or something. If they have good enough visions to see into the next room, why can't they see what a mob is when scanning? It seems really silly how I can see into the next room at exactly what the mob is, but can't throw anything at it because it's dark and all I see are little red eyes when I scan.

Suppose you're a kender who has just reached level twelve. You might be pretty exciting about the chance to learn how to cast 'detect invisible'. You rush over to your guildmaster, only to be told, "I don't teach that." You might run into this problem the first time you try to practice a skill that is "out of guild" for your race. To determine if a skill is "out of guild" for you, look at the help file for that skill. That file should say that the skill is considered "in guild" for certain races, and "out of guild" for others. If that skill is "out of guild" for you, it is necessary for you to go the guildmaster for which the spell is "in guild." Look back at the example in the first paragraph. As a kender, you would have to go to the elven guildmaster to learn how to cast 'detect invisible,' because that spell is "in guild" for elves. No other guildmaster teaches that spell. Don't forget, when you practice an "out of guild' skill or spell, the number of experience points you need to reach the next level, and every other level after that one, might increase. Be sure to think carefully before you practice any new "out of guild' skills. Lari's responses to ideas... >Carpathian: allow you to sacrifice your own corpse when killed Why? It doesn't last very long. True, if you leave something in it, it does take longer. But it's not like it's there for hours. What if you forget something invis in it? >WarpDrive: Since when a mob misses you, could have where the mob >hits your inventory and damages a piece of equipment. Maybe a 10% >chance of this happening. Would be neat to see. Might be cool to see the first time, but what about after that? It's bad enough there are mobs that burn packs. >Medivh: freedom for nutrition for lvl 1,2...it's hard explaining >stuff while there are dying from not eating....specially complete >newbies who think it is normal I happen to think this is a good idea. Though I'm not sure their hps drop even though they get the messages. It can be a hassle especially if they haven't killed anything and don't have the gold so you can teach them how to buy food and water. >Fate: how about with the noteleport nosummon thing we do nowake >which wont let people wake you up Okay, so you have nowake on, you're sleeping, channels off... how does someone contact you? Might I suggest you find a quiet out of the way place to sleep so no one knows where you are, if being woken up is a problem for you. >Faustus: prevent psychic crush from working on yourself so that >you don't accidentally kill yourself when you want to use psychic >healing Hehehe... I've never tried that. But it is a way to get out of those few rooms in BR that you can get stuck in. I've had to do it before with other spells. Maybe make psychic healing the default for phychic instead of phychic crush. >Krondor: a spell that refreshes the monsters in an area Um... no. Areas repop every 15 minutes if you are in them. If you want a faster repop and you're the only one in the area, leave the area. If not... 15 minutes isn't really that long to wait. Take time to make a new friend. >Mathis: ban aod from the shop areas! Why? He has rights! Hehehe... seriously, Slart went through the trouble of coding a command for 2 shopkeepers in the same location, so use it. List shopkeeper, buy xxxx shopkeeper. Don't be lazy, use that shopkeeper's name. ;) >Mathis: have the create food not create posioned food eh? that >kinda sucks So prac detect poison or identify and find out. Cure poison or medicine will cure you if you eat something poisoned. Also, you could just learn what is poison and what isn't. And if nothing else, keep creating food until you recognize something that's safe. >Boxtop: ability to lock ogrek's packs - in case you lose yours.... >(heh) Lose it? You mean a mob steal it? Or you just put it down and walk away? Try a Pellinor's if you want something that locks. Not many people use them, or keep the key once they have the pack. >Hi Kiri, > This is Stilgar/Yossarian. I have a suggestion. > >People keep suggesting what we should do with extra practices. My suggestion is to use those >prac's to make existing spells better. For example: I'm a lvl 19 dwf. My fireball costs 33 mana. If I >have a 95% on my fireball, I can go to the elf guild or whatever and use up... oh say... 4 pracs to >make my spell better. It would be like, cast the spell at a lvl higher (I cast it as if I was lvl 20), but >now the mana cost is up a level (50 instead of 33) and my chance of success is lower (back >down to 75% or something.) This is just a suggestion. I hope people like it. I realize at first you struggle with not having enough pracs and you have to try to balance things out a bit. Usually you don't have enough pracs to learn everything you want. But, you don't really need to practice everything on your slist. In fact, I'm against practicing everything you're allowed to. Stick to your in guilds mostly. Eventually you end up having way more pracs and nothing to practice. So what? They don't hurt you. The game is balanced the way it is. Every race can hero solo if they choose to. It's been done. We don't need to use those extra pracs for anything. How about a contest... see who has the most unused pracs by the time you hero or avatar. ;) Kiri's WWW of URLs: Please join Eol's RPG coalition at: http://clik.to/rpgCoalition And for our BR player pages: Mortanius' page: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Fuji/5347/LCA.html Zaz's personal page: http://english.ttu.edu/grad/speters/whitehead/ Tylorien's under construction page: http://grogg.freeservers.com/ Sknt's page: http://hometown.aol.com/Sknt/index.html A little something for cat lovers about our furred companions.

Hi folks - you will have html again next week, just trying to get this out on time Mathis: on some scrolls, (black etched tablet for example) the spell would be summon and charm person, but i can summon, but it wont lemme charm. and this just doesnt make sense, its as if im CASTING the spells... Hiddukel: An addition of fighting styles--a two weapon fighting style that allows a character to wield same weight weapons, anyone without the skill can't wield a weapon that is the same weight or lighter than the one in the offhand, a shield and weapon fighting style(adds a little more variety and give all the shields in the mud a job) increases AC and parry rates Hiddukel: A Clerical spell called calm--Will cause an aggro mob to stop attacking Hiddukel: A mage spell-- Animate Object, brings trash items to life (1/2 the level of the caster?) Will tank for the mage Forrest: there needs to be more in guild dwarf abilities, cause there is nothing in guild for dwarves to prac after lvl 11 :( Forrest: change the bash skill, instead of bashing creatures, it allows you to bash open doors, the drawback is that it damages you and can make the mob on the other side mad, possibly making it aggro Forrest: skill for dwarves that increases their chance to hit, since they are specialists in fighting Mathis: show how long drunkeness lasts, like spells? Forrest: dwarves need some skill that gives them a chance at a critical hit Aphera: i think there should be a person in front of the temple that you pay money for her to send you places like ofcol 2000 dollars fro the transport or something Smegol: alot of people think that they die because of lag but actually they were just tripped. so why not make a line that tells you that you are tripped and cannot flee or whatever your trying to do. Mathis: for long spell names that you use to fight, is it possible to change what you hafta type to cast it so you dont waste time typing? like,instead of c 'laughing buddha' longmobname, you could type c 'buddha' mob, unless there is anoter spll called bu Kiri - you can type c 'buddha' mob Aphera: I think trip should do a little damage too.... Aphera: make more good mobs there are too many evil mobs you must achieve equillibrum Aphera: i think faerie fire should be a passive spell not one that causes fights Mathis: have a command that shows who's following you and who you're following?

SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON(S) WHO SENT THIS TO YOU: I appreciate your efforts Kiri, and you haven't done a shabby job neither. FAQ question answered by KurtisII: Q: I am blind (or poisoned). What do I do? A: First thing you want to do is recall. Then you should go north and you will find Clericus. You can type 'heal' without the quotes to find out what he offers you. What you should be interested in though at this point is cure blindness and cure poison. So fix yourself up, you simply type (again without the quotes) 'heal cure blindness' or 'heal cure poison' Responses by SIRFROG: >Kharn: the 'medicine' skill doesnt rock. Say I >have lost 200 Hitpoints, then i need around 30 times >medicine. Casting a spell 30 times always throws me out of >the Barrens, saying: Put a lid on! Medicine should cost >more mana and heal more hp. Humans arn't great healers nor are they great magic users. Medicine should remain weak, considering who's using it. > >Andasa: A drain spell for druids/elves. They would be able to drain >the mp off of other mobs, thus regaining it faster or saving themselves in >battle with the extra mana that they get :) >Mathis: mana should be restored quicker b/c im a druid and i >survive on mana; i go thru about 4 or 5 fights then hafta sleep for ever. >during that time, all my spells wear off so i spend about 200 mana even >BEFORE i get into a fight! I've had these problems too, but this isn't just a druid specific problem. Each race needs to have a different mana regeneration rate according to their class (like dwarves should have an extremely slow regeneration due to them being WARRIORS not mages.) Shouldn't be too hard to code anyway. >Daz: to mention in the spell description (help >spellname) if a spell is only for 'pre'combat use Only Someone needs to update the help file anyway. > > >Brodgar: A consent flag so you can consent a player to pick up your corpse >or loot your corpse for CR help hah. next thing you'd know, we would have a PK mud. > >Kiri -- this is *NOT* going to happen. I can hear the people screaming "he >stole this from me!" now... -KELEIOS/SIRFROG Response by BALTAR: > Carpathian: allow you to sacrifice your own corpse when killed Oh, sure, that sounds fine until people start accidentally sacrificing corpses with equipment still in them...or forgetting that they haven't drunk a potion to see invis after getting killed and thus GET ALL doesn't...Sounds like WAY more potential for problems than any use.

Ideas HipHop He also mentioned about the battle arena. SPecifics were as follows: the battle arena opened at certain times and intervals and allowed only a specific range of levels in. However the winner or winners were able to get spell ups afterwords including but not limited to giant strength sanc flight invic detct invis armor protection full heal full mana, etc. Fights were aranged in a fashion either by level range or by race. Each by total random through a setup counter. Each race that entered the battle arena was able to meet and group with each other and go hunt the other races down and then get heal ups. Which brings up another point, there should be tongues among races. Aphera I think a small prize should be given to the person who finds a typo *wink* John H I thought of a good skill a thief should have today. It would be called 'Smokescreen' 'syntax' 'smokescreen' it would cloak all people in your group kinda like invis but kinda mixed with sneak. The message for when you typed 'look' would be You see a a figure (figures if more than one) cloaked in smoke. This is what it would look when you used it...'smokescreen' You throw down a small smoke bomb cloaking you and the people in your group! To make it fair you could make it last for something like 10 ticks or you can just make it last a normal length of time. Please consider this as a skill or possibly a spell whatever you wish, 'syntax' for spell I guess 'c 'smokescreen'.

THIS ideas a good one!!!: create booze spell!! yea!! yea!! shonsu-there is enough bars thought out the realms. so there should be more than enough to drink. buy jello shots in solace. they are cheap, light and don't make you drunk very long. Mathis: clean out the wizlist for the ppl who havent been logged on in a while, like make a 'retired' wizlist for em or something. Kiri -- we do this. Please see help hiatus. Kharn: Charakters should keep their light when they die. Most time u carry our gold in a midgets purse or have it on the bank and so it can sometimes be hard gettin a light at low levels shonsu- from recall go 3 s and 2 west and you can buy a lantern or a torch.. both cost 13 gold or just walk around calathar there is usually a ball of light lying around..

Draelyn: Hangman, at least hero hangman, should let you play for more than just 2500 gold. More people might play.. s- i agree.. i would like to play the hangman for more money... even the mortal one. RoadWarrior: Why don't we make a race of dragons?
