Eventually? Sure. Right now? I think it can be placed on the backburner.

The hook does indeed drop from the Big & Tall Shoreman. Just got one to drop. There's also the smuggler's box and the seventh of nine, both from the small-time smuggler. The box can spawn: Gold Coast ivory Ivory Coast spices Spice Coast gold If you want descriptions for those items, I can give y...

That's kinda what I figured. For what it's worth, I think there are some tools that can extract a password from a hash, but they're pretty limited (I believe they need to be 'trained', and of course, you need access to the hashes), and I think they don't work over a certain length (as hashes tend to...

Cristiona

Stored in a hash but able to be edited by an admin, I would assume? Or are you totally unable to touch them?

Or should I stop prying on this sort of thing

the ethereal club Best. Weapon. In. The. Game. Let's see... from what I remember playing the classes (didn't play much as a Psion or an Animalist). Gadgeteer: Seems to be the easiest class to play. A wide range of delevers (perhaps too many), bonus to damage, healing spell, and armor/weapon tweaks....

Because you're not patrolling? You're calling out a specific person, and not just your average thug, but a fellow hero. You might be an efficient hero, but you're still going to take your time, since you're meeting at an arranged place for an epic rumble.

Hero vs Hero: Serious Business.

The theory was that PvP is an alternative way of spending your time. 10 minutes was largely pulled from thin air, but it was a way to make it expensive, but not overly so. It seemed a good balance between ridiculous amounts of fights, and creating a completely arbitrary counter (just what is the nar...

I have. I think it's a Gadgeteer-only deal, though. We have a passive skill somewhere that talks about advanced computers.

Running Man, and Mad Max, too.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls... dying time's here!"

Wiki mentioned a Euro release called Temple of Dreams, and there was a later release called Messiah vs. the Progenater, or something like that. A friend of mine has it, but I never ran across it.

Cristiona

He gets caught up in ranting and raving: "I'm a lord of acid! I'm a twenty-first century Jesus. I'm the creator, the destroyer. I provide the temple of dreams. I'm beyond good and evil!"

Heh... a Messiah reference... I only have 21st Century Jesus myself, though.

Cristiona

Hm. Yeah, the opportunity cost is where my parallels break down. The only limitation in MUDs is the amount of time the player has; there's no turns. Frankly, I'm at something of a loss on how it should be done. In KoL, I PvP'd a lot more once the adventure cost was removed, but I don't much care for...

Cristiona

Honestly, for hard core clubs, the act itself is sufficient reward. A played on one MUD where looting wasn't allowed, and most PvP took place in an arena. Why? Because the creator loved player v. player combat, but hated having people take all his stuff. XP and chips would be enough of a prize for t...

Cristiona

I think part of it depends on how key "ascension" is going to be in Twilight Heroes. It's the core of KoL, so everything needs to be designed with it in mind. However, if TH is designed so that there are several paths one could take, and that ascension is but one facet, then integration is...

Cristiona

Part of me thinks it should be the other way around, actually. Your "average" PvPer takes a beating, and only the really good ones thrive. That sets the barrier to entry pretty high, but from my clubby days on various MUDs leads me to believe that a situation like that would appeal to the ...

Cristiona

Sounds like we need an arena.

Oh! Hey! How about an unlockable area in the Cannonball Tavern where you can get into drunken brawls with other players?

Cristiona

I would support optional PvP, ala most MUDs. That is, actual player vs. player combat. The biggest problem with porting that over, is that MUDs are real-time, and this is combat turn based. Then again, I suppose the game could just factor... um... various... er... factors... and automate the whole c...

Devant wrote:(not that there is anything that can make you lose levels in KoL)

Actually, there are. I plan to ascend as a level 1 AT for my 100th ascension

Cristiona

Is this where I ask "what item"? >_>

Cristiona

The resistance will appear if you have it. It shouldn't appear if you don't. That holds true for all the "elemental" types. Is it not behaving that way? Hm. Then the Force Gloves need to be reworked a little. Their desription says "+5% resist all", but my character sheet only sh...

Carlos Castaneda wrote some books mentioning Naguals. In it, there was a guide named Don Juan Matus. Portmanteau?

Cristiona

Actually, option 3 looks a lot like how KoL does it. You have purely elemental foes (Snow Queen) and you have foes that dish out elemental and are weak to it (Hippies), straight up physically resistant (Protector Spirits), and foes with elemental attacks but no elemental weaknesses (um... Furry Gian...

Cristiona

Come clean, Ross... this name was you being clever, wasn't it?

Cristiona

Ah, see... that would be logical, which is why it doesn't work for English

Cristiona

I'm 99% positive the Titanium Shield recepe is correct, I'm sure I've made one before. Also, it might be worth noting that for the titanium mace you need to weld a titanium pipe with the lump, not a lead pipe (the list just says "pipe"). And playing with paper mache is fun. I've got a pina...

Cristiona

We do? Huh. My tragically skewed stats (made even worse by the VR thingie) are leaving Reflexes far and away higher than the other two (base: 424/434/751).

Cristiona

15, I think... I don't remember... it was so long ago :p

Also, I have all the Gadgeteer skills, so if you want, I can copy the info over. Also, also, there are two non-class skills that you can currently aquire: Heroic Efficiency (I think that's its name) and Passable Pilot.

Cristiona

It would be possible, provided you had staff. I play another online game where players (over a certain age) can submit ideas to the game (different, but akin to new equipment). The owner doesn't do anything with them, but a handful of staff members do. The staff that work on this are able to edit ju...

And of course, the pointer about the Author of the discussed article, being a past satanist and having witnessed what "the Necronomicon can do", is the final absolute shot to his lack of comprehension of this world (wisdom 2? Maybe 3?). Oh, man, I totally missed that part. Yeah, totally g...

Cristiona

Are there earlier versions of the game that were significantly different from what I've ever seen? I just don't know. I've played D&D Red Book, and the difference between it and 2nd edition (or third) is a lack of detail. In second, you might get (say) a Long Sword +2 (+4 vs. Giants). In Red Bo...

Cristiona

Then there's that tract about D&D. I mean, that's so unrealistic!

What level 8 would be attacking a zombie? That's pretty much instant destruction when turning at that point! Jeeze!

Cristiona

Jick also praised the game, and said he loved it when he saw any update -- any update. Said it made him realise how people felt when his game was still in its early stages.

Cristiona

Woo... got mentioned again on the Thursday radio show. Well, not by name, but certainly referenced. For what it's worth, I fully support Jick's plan. I'd like updates every three days too

Cristiona

I suppose I can see vague connections, but Spaceballs and (especially) The Producers were much richer than the little snippets at the end of Part 1.

And, hey, Viking Funeral was pretty damn funny too, cheesey as it may have been.

Cristiona

JEWS IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

Small price to pay for an extra two hours.

You end up attacking yourself?

I'll have to check out the movie you folks are talking about--haven't seen that one. Oh, Ross... Equilibrium is a fine, fine movie. Definately worth the price of admission. Interestingly enough, the same guy did Ultraviolet. Her fighting style was how the director originally invisioned the Gun Kata...

Ross wrote:Could still be a "summon lesser animal" and "summon greater animal" or something like that.

Works for D&D.

Cristiona

Also, in case you have seen the film "Equilibrium" (Seeing from the ambience of TH, you will surely like it) then we absolutely need Kata-Guns! :) With the weighted clips so that when you throw them they stand up? :D My brother and I made an intentional choice not to include modern firear...

Crud. I need to stop screwing around and kick some demon ass...
