Any Questions for the HOC? What would you like tp know about the new expansion?

serious: Ask the Dev-team: did they ever skilling imbuing the whole way by them self, AND did they it WITHOUT GOD-MODE ?

another question: WHY is crafting in 2D 3times faster then in the "enhanced client"?, come on, the delay between items in crafting is too long(also the chat dealy,in 2D it could set to 1 sec,in the EC it is min.5 sec.WHY)

 

[Tazar]

Is that only for content or may i also ask questions about the enhanced client?

You are welcome to ask anything you want - but it may not get answered. That will probably depend on the number of questions asked vs. time allotted.

A member of my site pointed out about imbueing as follows:

When a player tries to gain in a skill, he repeats in general the most apropriate act for his current skill value .

Let's say, the act is to imbue a HQ dagger with luck +10.

You can repeal this act 10 times by re-imbuing, but you can't gain in Imbuing skill if you try to imbue the same item more than 10 times.

So you must find another item to imbue with the same property, in order to gain most efficiently.

But when you change items to imbue, the crafting menu of Imbuing will be initialized. You must increase the value of luck to imbue with from 1 to 10 clicking 9 times, every time you change the item to imbue.

Gaining skill should not be too easy, but this one is only an extra trouble for players.

Please make clients, both classic and enhanced, so that they store the value selected at the last time for each property on the crafting menu of Imbuing.

This are my questions

Enhanced Client:

I have the fear the development is canceled again like how it with KR happend, i have reported many bugs, but with the last patches i didnt see anything really needed fixed (lagging players, crashes, animation resolution, mirrors of monsters and players on screen, naked players) is there a plan to bring a bigger patch in the near future?

Content:

I dont know why i need loyalrating only for placing houses and using the Queens Soulforge, are there any further plans with it?

How can i get enough loyalrating on my worker char? Is there any other instead of fighting to get this much loyalrating on my worker?

Can someone try to get some clarification on the 'Wild West of Old Brit' comment?

 

[Gheed]

Another imbuing menu suggestion. Can the item property selection screen be cleaned up a bit? Especially for jewelry.

All properties seem to be randomly thrown into the selection menu. At least alphabetize them. Ideally I'd like to see all the skills replaced with a single "skills" button. This would prompt a different menu allowing you to select only skills to imbue. Even more, could those skills be sorted by groups allowed on one item? Like the breakdown of combinations outlined in Basara's post:

[Eyes of Origin]

I'm going to try to attend, but in case I cant, I, too would be much appreciative if someone could ask about this.

 

[Storm]

I have two questions
1. When will the Britain Banks be finished (remodel)

2. What is the plan for the areas currently not accessible in the Gargoyle lands? and will it be soon?

Thanks, Tazar!

Wilki has answered to it!

08:54 <Zephenia> <Tazar> Can the clients, both classic and enhanced, be changed so that they store the value selected at the last time for each property on the crafting menu of Imbuing.
08:55 <WilkiEA> Yes, it's posssible, and we're going to be looking into making the imbuing process more streamlined.

 

[Tazar]

Glad to see that one answered myself.

For those that like to read all the details, I'll be posting the full chat log momentarily.
