[X] My Assistant

Blood tokens ceased to exist.

Lol, I thought I was the only one.
Haven't gotten any at all within the last 2 weeks (from level 50 until now (71))

I only found one chaos & roughly 3 healing (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Not as such, but you'll be able to name it.

Well, for obvious reasons (such as renaming gear to something misleading), reforged equipment won't be tradeable.

That one should be able to fix, since how the trade system works right now, it's all based on trust anyways, COD may exist but isn't used that often.

The simple solution to someone trying a scam by renaming a piece of equipment to something better is no different from scamming people by simply sending them something else then what they paid for, or not sending them anything at all.

But to fix naming, a simple solutation would be to not allow currently existing prefixes, suffixes item names. With exceptions for those words that the items original name had.
So an "average longsword of slaughter" may be renamed to "average longsword of awesomess" or "supabest slayersword of slaughter", but it may NOT be renamed to "superior longsword of slaughter", since superior is a protected word that the original did not have. In the same way, it can't be named "supabest slayermace of slaughter" either. While slaughter is OK, mace on the other hand is not.
The only problem would then be people trying to get creative with the spelling "Magrificent Katanna of Slaughter" would pass through, since it had slaughter originally, and the two others are miss-spelled.
One way would be to simply add in various possible misspellings. Or to simply make a rule that deceptive names are not allowed, and then "attach" the name of the person who named the weapon to that name, and if it is reported, you can find the guilty one and punish him accordingly.
(Since you like magrificient things, I will make your items magricifient, which is kinda crude, so I'll just make them crude instead. Oh, and I'm taking all your money too.)

...or just add a column to the database to store the original name and display it in the equipment popup alongside the new name. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
Kind of hard to get scammed that way.

It's kind of hard to get scammed if you look at the equipment pop-up either way, someone is bound to get suspicious when a "of the slaughter" weapon has low damage but instead has a chance to drain spirit.

Do you really buy equipment from people based solely on their names, and not on their actual stats?

In that case, it seems like a fair more likely scam would be to auction a Superior mace of slaughter with awesome stats, and then you send them another superior mace of slaughter, recently bought off the market, with crappy stats.

We're talking about people who base their purchasing decisions on prefixes/suffixes alone.
It would be a happier world if everyone knew what they were doing, but alas, that's not the case.
And you can't blame new player for not knowing any better - it takes time to get a decent understanding of how the game works.

And as for your example - that can always happen, with or without reforged equipment.
In which case you can always send a PM to the Powers That Be and whine about what happened.

Any idea why I can't delete 4 of my lvl 100 monsters ?

Can't have anything to do with this post about HV 0.6.0 from the Boss
"You can't rename/delete monsters above PL 100. The UI doesn't fully reflect that yet though."
Because they aren't above 100.

Also. Sir T....
If you make a change, post it in the first post of HV Patchnotes, not on page 58 of shitty spam no one except those, who just want to spam... reads.
Didn't remember to post it in the patchnotes ? Give me the power to give you an edit button.
I still love you u know, in the most non gay way there is.
Ouch that sounded nasty.
What I meant to say...
What you forget to post in patchnotes, please add it later as you remember/discover it.
I do not read pages of posts to the patchnotes.
I guess someone has to. Sorry it's you.

I'm not trying to pick a fight.
But, in a civil manner...
Can we has a reason that 100 =< monsters can't be deleted.
Something to do with recalculating monster battles maybe ?

Watch out people, I have a mean snail next to my monitor, ready to infect all flamers.

=====EDIT=====
I wasn't able to find the reason for not being able to delete monster by searching for it's exact terms.
So I'll add the exact phrase said by HV here, so others can find it with Search.

cannot delete monster

"You can't rename/delete monsters above PL 100. The UI doesn't fully reflect that yet though."

It might be at or over PL100. Maybe.

Yep. the limit is actually 99+
Level 100 beasties can't be deleted. I wonder why ?

Just tried to post for the first time after being unbanned for my language.
What I meant was...
Forgot something from the patchnotes ? Just edit the first post. Highlight the edit.
Don't just make a remark on page xx.
Reading the last modified date on the first post shall prevail.

Thanks for the reply !

===EDIT===
Just wanted to make a post with the EXACT term HV uses when you can't delete a monster.
cannot delete monster
Because not everyone can think of the amazingly magnifient search terms that I can. (I'm from finland)
(BTW Firefox 8.0 doesn't recognize the world magnificient nor finland. Progress from stone to man here much ?)

All I need from renaming concept is to be able to reforge some Eth Estoc into "Starbreeze, Mi-Ala's Vorpal bow". Then I will be Happy.

I only found one chaos & roughly 3 healing (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

It seems still drops, but the chance is very low now, for me, it drops 1 per two days as I nearly clearly more than 15 arena each day

yeah i think the drop rate has been shifted to 45/45/10 healing/chaos/blood or some other bullshit like that

augh

I wish people would learn how to random and stop making assumptions based on sample sizes smaller than their shoe size.

Then I remember I live in a world where people play the lottery and go to a casino expecting to make money.

Sigh.

What can you expect when people use the word 'trend' in a what so called 'test'?

By the way, would you mind taking a look at some missing ability point problem from another player?
It has been 2 weeks and he still has ability points missing.
At least blast me if I miss some obvious points.

I was promised a pony.

I got a figurine (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Did something happen to the riddlemaster check? I'm getting a blank screen instead of the maze displaying.

The fail rate is somewhat higher than usual, but there aren't any faults on our end. Probably bad routing from parts of the world.

I was going to wait until EQ forging works before saying anything. Oh well...


Just to let you know, Tenb, that even after you nerfed stun in this patch, it's still broken as fuck... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) I hate it so much yet I have to use it.

Something need to be done about PA and Bleed... I will not trying to be a smart-ass this time by ordering what you should do. I know you are competent enough and capable of doing this on your own.

Its less stun being broken, and more everything else not being viable. Mainly cause monster damage output being too damn high!

Personally, I think the damage buff should be removed from stun and switched to 100% for PA. The current PA isnt particularly effective, and stun (100% reduced enemy damage) is already a solid effect on its own.

Bleed is tricky because it is true damage, but it could probably use a buff. enemy speed reduced by X% while bleeding?

Bleed is weird due its multi-turn nature. It's good in a lot of RPGs where fights don't end in 2-3 turns but here it needs something to keep up. Maybe hitting the bleeding target again with the bleeding weapon and procing the effect again causes the wound to gash and does a chunk of damage while consuming the debuff. That puts it closer to stuns or elemental debuffs. Just make it so that you can't re-bleed an existing bleeder when the gash is done.
