Sorry about that.

Just thought of something while I was begg^H^H^H^Hrequesting buffs in chat. Wolf automatically replaces Buffalo and vice versa. It would be nice if there was some way to decline one buff or the other. Perhaps an account option to automatically refuse one or the other.

It would suck to lose thousands of minutes of buffalo for an hour of wolf because someone was trying to be helpful (or trying to grief you).

edit: Now that I think about it, it would probably be easier to just make it autofail when you cast one on someone who has the other.

Having just lost 3000 turns of water buffalo so that I could get 180 of wolf, I'd really like to have this looked into. It was just done as a joke, but I still paid for those buffs and am a little less than amused by this.

Things were straightened out, but... yeah. Some kind of override would be nice.

And, another 12,000 minutes flushed down the drain. This needs a fix.

I will. But, uh, can I ask ya not to buy multiple thousands of an unsafe buff in the meantime?

Well... it's more to reduce busy work. Buffalo does about 40% of the work for me in Delta. It's easier to buy a long-term buffing contact than to scrounge every day.

We need 2 new permanent Wok of Stars items.
The first is "The Star of Protection" When used it makes an item so it cannot be traded or sold. It should cost you 1 or 2 silver stars.

The second is "The Star of Lending" When used on an item it keys the item to that account. the item cannot be sold, but if its traded the owner can call the item back at their desire. (the item's name will be changed to prevent Scamming. Example: Loaned Hero's Cape.). It should cost 2 to 3 stars.

these items are much needed. a few people have fears about loosing their items to a thief or a hacker, and this would allow people to protect their investments.

Neither of those two options is even remotely possible with the current game setup. Sorry.

Eh..... I'm not sure if they'd be -worth- implementing, but I don't see how it'd be impossible with the present game setup... You'd just have to add a new column to the table, with IDs linking to it, no? I'm sure it could even be done in a much better way... Admittingly, though, I'm not a programmer, and am not knowledgable at all with the way that TH is actually set up.

I don't know if the 'protection' one would really be worth it at all... But I know I'd kill for a 'theft protection' type in KoL... But it'd have to be made known that it's in effect, or something, otherwise it'd be abused ;_; Even so, it may be abused.

No, it's much worse than that. Basically leads to a near-infinite duplication of items in the DB, one for each individual instance of the item in question. No good, for a lot of reasons.

You sure? You couldn't add a line or two in the entry that is used for the individual's inventory? The one that says, oh for example, that you have 48 of item 1? Then you could have a line that is like.. oh say... 48 of item 1, Belong ID: User ID of whoever actually owns it?

Admittingly, this is not what I was originally thinking, but more along what someone [*coughOlafcough*] mentioned involving just returning the item back at rollover or something.

Yeah, I'm really pretty sure that it's not possible. If nothing else, the KoL folks have been thinking about this for 4 years and denying its possibility the entire time.

Also, what you describe is the normal inventory system. A separate entry of X of item 1 would just show up as more of item 1. I'd have to have an item 1001 that is a duplicate of item 1, for that single player (if it's really unique). And then 1002 for the next player. And 1003 is a duplicate of item 2 for player 1. And a duplicate of item 2 for player to is item 1004, and ...

And then if I update item 1 (description, properties, etc.) I'd need something that would search out every item that's cloned from item 1 and make the same change. No good. Really.

Nah, not a seperate entry of X of item 1...

For example, I'd imagine that your inventory system probably looks something like this...





Now, you could adjust it to be.. oh say [utilizing what I envision Olaf pictured, anyway.. He might have considered it better.. My original plan was much more clumsy though, so I'd take his over what mine was.. As Mine would require you to have created another two with QuantityLoaned and LoanedToID, just make it a 'ghost' in the owner (not renter's) inventory. It wouldn't be on rollover in that case, but when called.]



On rollover, select where OwnerID != null..
parse it into a foreach equivalent statement [keep in mind, I'm only a psuedoprogrammer, so I can't really offer exact things, nor guarantees it would work] that then sends QuantityRented to OwnerID of ItemID for each item. Just shits and giggles, you could actually set it up, for when calling the items [for, oh say, listing your inventory], to have it add, oh say.. (borrowed) at the end of an item if QuantityRented > 0.

The downside, though, is that these items would then have to be loaned in a specialized way.. not perhaps how Reaper imagined it, but through a command or system to loan it.

Edit: Being anal about spacing.

I'll argue with you more tomorrow. But your example neglects two critical things:

1) Where is it noted who possesses the rented ones? What if, of those 30, 5 are rented to me, 10 to you, and 15 to another 10 individuals. One field, "rented", doesn't begin to cover it.
2) How does the person renting the items know which of item X are owned and which are rented unless they're NOT exactly the same as item X? How does that display in their inventory? What prevents them from selling the rented item? It's gotta be a separate item.

Request for new Talisman:



And yes, I realize the image is crap... it's just for effect.

Ryme, when ya gonna nix the black "stroke" around the boomstick gif? You'll probably have to reduce the radius of the outer glow though...

Judging by the latest IOTM I think it will atleast take a while.
I acually like the colorfull squares around them. It brightens my character page.

Make monsters deal slightly less damage as they lose HP? Same goes for players.

I'm trying to think if such a mechanic is accounted for anywhere, but I can't see anything.

just throwing this out there, a "/l all" feature would be nice, so we don't have to type in each channel.

Well, you only really need to /L each one once, but yeah. Can't imagine making that would be too hard, and it'd certainly be useful.

I know this has been mentioned before, but I don't see it in this thread:

A shelving system for the Memento Displays would be nice.
Currently, if you're trying to collect even one set of items, and tossing in your colored items, too, the alphabetical order gets a bit cluttered.
It would be nice to have shelves with little labels, like 'Sinews', 'Denim', 'Color', etc.

If not stores, could we at least have access to the historical sales data of all items? (And not just ones we happened to sell)?

I think this would be too much on the DB. Not even KoL has this kind of feature.

Vote for TH on global rankings!

For what it's worth, Coldfront provides this feature for KoL.
As for TH, we already know the DB stores this data, since it displays it to each seller individually. I'd be honestly surprised if the TH database can't handle it.
KoL at least provides a snapshot what people are actually asking for items. The AH doesn't do this at all.

I, of all people, am trying PvP right now. I'm kinda shocked at myself. Still, I'm having fun, but I wish the main Unbranded Arena page would tell me how many Lambda tokens I had. Or I'd be told after a win a match, so I know whether I need to go to the area store to upgrade my gear or pick another fight. As it is now, I keep having to click in and out of the store when I forget how many I have.
Just one little thing that annoyed me. Otherwise, I'm quite happy with the PvP system.

Agreed on the lamba token count in a more visible location.

Otherwise I'm fairly happy with poetfox in PvP as well

In my opinion this is a feature that we really need on the use item page.

A "Daily Routine" button and a "Special Routine" button.

They would be buttons that would use the items that are added to (Or selected under) them, such as caffeine, sugar, pouch/couch items and other usable items that players would use on a daily basis.

And they would also have an option for the number of times you want each item used. Or if Ryme wanted to be a little lazy he could just make it so you can add multiple items of the same name to the list.


*Crosses fingers*


Edit: i forgot to add # of items.

Thirded. I just assembled about 100 random things, and that's a lot of clicks.

5thd. The weld/assemble page reloads very slowly after making something. For ultimate laziness, a "make as many as possible" option would be nice too.
