1. Cursed keys can be gotten rid of easily by simply relogging
(And if you're saying that it's troublesome to get the keys again, maybe
they're not easily obtainable?)

2. Curse flags are also play a thematic element. It can't be a particularly
strong curse if you could get rid of it so easily.

+1, That way you could climb on this rank by either pupping or redoing, as
opposed to rank1 which only factors redoes.

I don't know if it would be more problematic to code though, since exp gained
is more finicky and you'd have to track it constantly vs all the other ranks
which I think are checked only every hour?

The requirement that the source be as good as the target item makes it
exponential...

To increase to X+5 (i.e. what you can do already with objstat) you'd need 32
items of score X. To increase to X+10 you'd need 1024 items. 

Assuming you need to farm a enhanced item drop to use as source (obviously
storebought items wouldn't be usable), that's going to reach a practical
limit.

I think imms should have the ability to mark a note thread as 'closed', which
would prevent players from using note reply on it any further.  

I think it would be useful in various situations, e.g. idea threads that
have already been marked as dead ideas, or other note threads where nothing
meaningful is being contributed.

As I understand it, precision gives a chance to make your swing undodgeable, 
(in which case dodge is not checked), so there's not really a way
to find out how many extra hits you got because of precision

At best you could check how many times precision fired I guess?

There's some sort of mix up between the OPK timer and augmentation, at least
on testport:

c augmented
You are filled with vigor!

You are recovering the following abilities:
  Augmentation             : 21:36

opk remove
You cannot remove OPK for 21:30.

---

opk remove confirm
INFO: Redryn has removed himself from the (OPK) victim pool!

opk
You are not currently flagged for open PK.
You have no timeout on setting the Open PK flag.

---

You now have the (OPK) flag and can be killed in any room
by other PK or OPK players. While you are in OPK mode you will 
receive 10% more experience and bonus quest/campaign rewards. The OPK
flag cannot be removed until you remort or 3 days have passed.
INFO: Redryn has entered open PK (OPK) mode!

You are recovering the following abilities:
  Augmentation             : 2 days and 23:59:59

You cannot remove OPK for 2 days and 23:58:43.

Reply to: Note 16478 posted by Tymme

'forces of light and holiness'? 

I would like to suggest a new mechanic to be implemented, which could be used
in a wide variety of things - Channeling.

Currently, the only mechanic we have to prevent skills from being spammed is
lag, i.e. execute a command and thereafter have (usually) 3 secs of lag where
you can't do anything else.

I would suggest a new mechanic where this is inverted:
1. You execute a command, and begin to 'channel' an ability or action. No lag
is actually added, but there is a timer on the channel.
2. After X time (i.e. the length of channel) an action or ability is
automatically executed.

Channels can be interrupted, which may result in variety of things such as
ability or action backfiring, or simply not occuring, depending on the act to
be channeled. What causes an interruption could depend on the ability or
action.

Examples:
- Brewing could be a channeled ability. Channel for 15 secs to make a triple
brewed spell. Interrupted if you walk out of room, sleep, or quaff. Would allow
players to still chat while doing brews, as opposed to the current process
where you basically stack a ton of brews and then can't do anything for a
while.

- Mining/crafting as suggested in the 'professions' thread could be a channeled
ability, where you take X time to mine an ore or similar.

- Combat - allows for more powerful and strategic spells to be added. E.g. a
mega damage spell could be channeled for a few rounds (casting other spells
would interrupt it, but up to you if you want to cancel it). But other party
could also interrupt the channel with certain skills, e.g. landing a stun. 
With a mix of recoveries on interrupts and powerful abilities, it would be
more of a game of feints/strategy to decide when to utilize your spell - wait
for them to use up their interrupts before using your best spell? Channel a
spell when they start channeling one? And if we add abilities that are short
term counters (e.g. reflect magic), then players may also want to cancel
channels or bear the brunt of their own abilities.

I think there could be a lot done with this mechanic.

I think Liber's suggestion that opk can only be removed in safe room

Reply to: Note 39069 posted by Liber

I believe the proposal is to prevent toggling OPK off while a revenge flag
is running. Revenge lasts for 10(ithink?) minutes or so, so I'm not sure 
what "new set of abuse scenarios" you're referring to.

In contrast I'm not sure it's a good idea to allow toggling it off while
you've been attacked and are trying to escape - that seems more open to
abuse since you can toggle on, enjoy your bonuses (especially since being
attacked is kinda rare, easily more than 3 days), and if anyone does try 
to hunt you, turn it off.

Though I suppose a case could be made that 3 days is long enough, and people
should hunt each other more frequently if someone's doing that.

In line with mudinfo note #1836, I would suggest that the magical pocket from
Stormhaven also be made melt-drop.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why do you need repeated
considers? Is it that hard to remember your next target?

Assuming it is somehow necessary though, I don't think the
"it encourages botting" is a good argument against the
idea. It's fairly trivial to make a bot remember all mob
names on consider or on look.

Have you never seen other games where players who are outclassed in all
stats (i.e. weaker gear, weaker stats, etc), still beat manage to beat
stronger players because the stronger players didn't know how to utilise
their skills properly?

More dynamic combat = greater ways to optimise your own fight, and even defeat
an opponent who is on paper stronger than you.

As for your opinion on 'referee' errors - I think the universal consensus
is that it is better if they are eliminated. That's why you see modern sport
employing videos etc for better calls. I cannot agree with anyone who thinks
that such errors add rather than subtract to a sport.

Look at games like chess for example. A grandmaster could give you handicaps
(e.g. less time to think, start with less pieces, etc) and be on paper the
weaker player. But he could still win, because he has more skill.

Reply to: Note 38979 posted by Muzmuz

In my view, improving the PK system is not by adding random chance to it, but
making it more skill based as opposed to reliant on predetermined stats.

SH PvP atm is pretty much just  or . There's
not much skill or knowledge involved. Consequently, if your stats are inferior,
there's very little chance that you can win (because you both just spam damage
and one side will always come out on top).

Adding a chance for one side to kill the other side randomly doesn't add to
it. Boxing, football, tennis, don't have a rule which says: "Referee flips a 
coin and one side will win automatically". Everyone would hate that rule.
(It doesn't matter if it only happens 1 in 100 matches. When it happens,
everyone will say its lame and stupid win).

If you want to improve PK, maybe start with suggesting something that would add
skill to the fight. E.g. bring back dispels. Add more maledictions. Add
counter skills. Add short cooldown based skills usable mid combat.

1 per 1 hour.

(Maybe 2 per hour).

I think if you're getting murdered every 20 minutes that borders on either (a)
griefing or (b) that person doesn't really care and is just feeding kills.

Or how about this: After being killed once an hour, you take 20% less damage,
multiplicative, for every additional successive death (1 hour resets on every
death). So for newbies, they begin to increasingly have a chance to escape. For
griefers, it becomes increasingly difficult to kill. For people who don't
really care about feeding, it becomes increasingly hard to die (Even the rem
all equipment thing isn't going to help, if it takes ages for you to die and
you're just stuck in combat for 5 mins)

Reply to: Note 38747 posted by Redryn

Oh, and I would also suggest that the restriction of tier eq be lifted, and
that they be obtainable from mobs that are of the level of the eq (+- 10
levels). Max 1 per area.

Not sure if many people are aware of this, but building rules on equipment
are currently as follows:

  *  If your area has a Masterpiece item, you are allowed either one
     additional Masterpiece item, or two objects of max object affects.
     No matter the amount of goals in an area, all future areas shall meet
     this rule.
  *  If your area DOES NOT have a Masterpiece item, seven objects of 
     max affects.
  *  For every max piece of equipment created (Masterpiece and Max 
     objects included), you are required at least five objects of 
     mediocre eq (less than 1/2 the max stats) and 3 negative or no stats
     eq. Remember, all this equipment must be useable.

I think lots of people really like gameload eq and the opportunity to get
something cool with the new added stats mechanic. Perhaps it might be time
to consider whether the rules ought to be tweaked (and maybe old areas
re-looked at)? I'm not entirely sure what the rationale for creating mediocre
or negative/nostat equipment is, especially when it's supposed to be 'useable'
(I don't think anyone actually uses any of these).
I also don't think this rule is particularly enforced or checked

I would suggest that independent of Masterpiece items, areas can have max of
2 max objs resetting on normal mobs, with up to 1 reset per 20 mob resets in
area if they're placed on more difficult mobs (i.e. sanc or buffed mobs).

At least (rooms/10) eq with points equivalent of open clan max, five
mediocre (80% points) and three poor (60% points).

Reply to: Note 38735 posted by Wars

I think it would be more useful to get clarity on mplaying rules and setwanted.

I think the issue Wire is raising is where people create alts who farm
daily blessing (it's virtually no work to log on once a day and grab blessing)
and slowly amass tps/other stuff from that. And if you annoy the main, is it
multiplaying if they log on the alt to setwant?

If that's illegal, then the cost of setwanted is moot.
