icesus

When templars start their guard duty, a notice would be helpful.

It would be a nice addition, however (this is where it starts getting really, REALLY, interesting, so read further: ) when our beloved newbies lose their eq, it results in a whine. Some quit playing, but it helps to keep our economy balanced. When magical eq gets destroyed, it results in less excess...

I'm kinda wondering something here. say about 2 months or so ago I noticed a idea from a guy for doing thieves in icesus but every one kept telling him it was a bad idea, but I went ahead and throught it out a little more, gots some ideas together to help flesh it out 8< SNAP, shortened a bit 8<---...

As far as I know, taskmaster was removed because it was both spammy and buggy(, and kinda useless).

Oh no, now why couldn't I think of what Allanon suggested. I must be getting old or something... Good thing I still know how to read - text or between the lines, as helpful skill as any.

Sure it was! Now I know that someone drew the shortest draw and had to answer this post, or that at least one wizard has read this ,)

I wouldn't like to point accusing fingers at anyone specific, but I'd like to see guild-specific tunes also broadcasted on game-info or something. Like 'guild XXX's skill YYY got a major downtune, now one must wield a weapon in _both hands_ for it to work at all.' (crude example, but should it have ...

Note: This is just my opinion concerning these suggestions: I don't think that Icesus is ready for players that can fly. Or at least flying that is 'realistic' (with ascending and descending and larger ow 'minimap'). As far as I know, even the mounts that can fly are kinda 'not coming any time soon'...

The way I see it, you're trying to change the concept of 'thieves' to playerkillers! Haha, now your plan is foiled since everyone now sees it the way I do!

No. Thieves and pkilling don't mix, shadowdancers are for that.

And should we want to make the system even more complex, we could have a 'direction of wind' factor, that could alert animals of the hunters' scent, and it would take some training (skills and/or masteries) for the hunter to get info regarding it, for example, knowing how to stay under the wind and ...

About the limited number of terrains... why? And before you ask 'why not?', read my point of view: When they all are available, there would still be those who specialize in a single terrain type, no? And for those who want broader range of masteries, they could have them - it will take multiple time...

Yes, I like Zaec's suggestions, and add some of my own: Jail system: Thieves that get 'killed' could be thrown into jail for some period of time. Their fellow colleagues could break them out from there, too - while causing a prison riot (freed npc:s). The iron bars could be filed through, the wall b...

Great ideas concerning the commands one could use while hunting. Also, it should/could be made to support 'hunting parties' The current system lets the one with highest skill ambush while the others just try to chase animals to him/her, so the 'chasers' would have to work manually in the new system,...

And this 'sanctuary' needs proper changes to not make certain undead eqmonsters "too easy" ?

Yeah, Air_priests could use something that works against undeads.
