[12:01:12] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) smiles "Hello everybody and welcome to our session of "ask us anything" - well, anything about Amazon, that is of course...
[12:01:31] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): so to not sink into chaos, let me explain first a few rules, which will make the group talk much easier
[12:01:51] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): first thing: do NOT simply talk away. if you want to say somthing, click the cube here in front of us...
[12:02:21] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): then your name will appear above the cube, as sign that you have been noticed.. then WAIT until we call your name.. (but you can already type ahead in your chatline, just don't press enter)
[12:02:57] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): once you have said your piece, the genius masterscript inthis cube, developed by that handsome brain to my left, aka Baron the well hung, will remove the name from the list
[12:03:17] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason) tips my hat
[12:03:57] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): so.. since this is your hour, or two hours, or how long we will need, we need of course *your* input.. so ideally you click already that cube and bild a queue by that.. while i can answer one question that has been asked ahead already
[12:04:26] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the question that has been asked was:
[12:04:29] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): " What if we had cooks they get extra bonus special recipes for maybe health points , A Weapon Maker that can make arrows so it does not take 1 min per around but they can make a lot , Take away the poison darts from healers give it to a poison maker or something . Make more skilled trades that will be needed ,my thoughts where to have more skilled professions , So
Amo Maker so you get arrows from them
Cook you get your food from them
Poison Master you get darts and something else from them
[12:05:39] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): so, in a nutshell: offering specialized "Jobs", like healer is already, whether it would be possible to have special cooks, weapon-makers, etc. i will discuss this with the other leaders, but i have to say, it takes quite some organizational backdrpo to keep such structures running
[12:06:00] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): like we needed years for the healers to get them in the good shape in which they are now...
[12:06:18] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the time it took was partly because we experimented, tried to see what works, what fails...
[12:06:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): and then when we had an idea which direction to go we needed still dedicated people to that, which we have now, with the healer mentors under the lead of Melissa
[12:07:25] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): but that is not easy and means actual work, for her and her mentors.. so.. i am not sure if we are big enough to shoulder such additional workload for other "specialists"
[12:07:37] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): so.. I don't know yet
[12:07:54] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): however, speaking of Melissa, she has already lined up a question, and so now, your turn
[12:08:21] Melissa (missygulf): I was just going to ask if we could comment on suggestions or comments
[12:08:32] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): sure, feel free to !
[12:08:56] Melissa (missygulf): OKay so my comment is that most tribes and factions already have those things in place in their groups
[12:09:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): yes, i observed that too, that always the same people of some groups gather food - and others do ammo.. so there seems to be something like that in place in the groups, which is just perfect
[12:10:04] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Reni ?
[12:10:49] Reni (serenityaeon): i do like the idea of specialised jobs: one needs many different things but can only produce one. no matter if he's ina group or not he needs to socialize to get the other things he needs. could he a nice thing to get more RP going, maybe
[12:11:17] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) nods
[12:11:52] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): well. if you want to have such things running, i leave this as open offer in the open. please contact me then if you are willing to take over the lead to keep astructure and to organize
[12:12:23] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i can offer in return incentives.. like healers have as incentive the option to heal.. ammo-experts can maybe have faster ammo-making- time
[12:12:28] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): I don't know yet, just ideas
[12:12:34] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd?
[12:12:44] Syd Straaf: Job specialization doesn't seem like it needs to be as complicated or involved as the healer role. It could be as simple as getting your name on a list that allows you to do the particular task.
[12:13:42] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): that would be the simplest form. but i think we should have an incentive and also a small step to climb, to achieve it. so that people actually earn that tag and then benefit from it
[12:14:15] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason): We also need to be sure that such additional roles don't upset the balance in the jungle in some way
[12:14:24] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): true
[12:14:26] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Naimda?
[12:15:58] Namida Giulia: that's a good idea the specialization, i thought to something too in the past, like if you do an arrow and you are not specialized it needs 10 minutes, else 1 minute ~ what i was wondering if that's possible to reach the status of "artisan" let's say so doing the same thing over time, like for example: i fish for 4 hours per day, so i become quickly a master fisher, let's say so, but then there is a counter that goes down over time, so if i don't fish let's say 2 hours per day i lose this status
[12:16:16] Namida Giulia: but i've no idea with all the scripting and such things o.O
[12:16:40] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) grins "me neither!"
[12:16:45] Namida Giulia: XD
[12:16:55] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): but the idea is not bad, sounds feasible .
[12:17:09] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Channy?
[12:18:00] ChannyMore: This suggestion is from Kylie storm VIA Skype
For the potions and coins,
Why not have a broader area to refill
Maybe a few meters from your Rez
Also instead of losing all your strength with one dart
Why not just lose some stregnth not all... what's the sense of using the potion when it's gone with only one shot? to me it totally defeats the purpose
[12:18:26] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) smiles
[12:19:09] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i have to say.. since we have introduced the "potion refill only at home" we have solved *many* problems. because, why did we have constant OOC complaints which involved guards, priesteses arrests?
[12:19:23] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): because many people who do metered combat are not able, emotionally, to take a beating, to lose
[12:19:36] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): but in the logic, if *everyone* only wants to win, then no one can win
[12:19:55] ChannyMore: okay, thanks
[12:19:59] ChannyMore: i'll send it to her
[12:20:13] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): since we have potion refill only at home the chances are for the first time since we run amazon (and that is since 6 years or so) a balanced battlefield
[12:20:20] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): of course, people at home are at advantage
[12:20:25] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): like it would be RL too
[12:20:46] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): and it became so easy to handle for us that i am very hesitating to touch it
[12:20:46] ChannyMore: nods
[12:20:54] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Henry?
[12:21:05] Henry Vyceratops: We already literally drown in ressources since day one, and I was here really quite from the beginning,even I was back then no regular. I do not see any need for making things faster. I do not even count ressources anymore, and I bet is same with any former leader of a group or most regulars.
A special market area would be cool though , like we tried it years ago. Rogues could steal rich traders and so on.
But then, if you want that easy to organize in rp
and no offense, but fishig is aprime example for how it would not work, people just park and fish and are "masters"
you need a dead man device than, and soon all gets really complicated...
just my 2 cents
strength potions I agree on, is just an extra hit with 90% iof all people who fight. some bleeding would be nice, like it is an infection and has to be cure maybe
plus if you want to "cheat" and refill you set home where you are, refill, seen that a dozen times.
[12:22:10] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): which part of strength potions do you agree on? to only fill it at home? or what?
[12:22:38] Henry Vyceratops: fill at home i love. no i would like the darts do some bleeding effect maybe on top
[12:23:12] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ah ok.. we can do that, and i can tie the "at home" tule much stricter also if it gets abused too much, though no one reported it yet
[12:23:27] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Cain?
[12:23:50] ÇΆŀή (kenny.szaberwick): I like the idea of forcing people to have to rp to get their ammo as i see it combat should be a means to rp and not combat for the sake of it. So having people roleplay to get ammo from weapons makers i think is a good idea. Also agree with what Henry said.
[12:24:18] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) nods "so you would support "ammo specialists" then ?
[12:24:56] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) pokes Cain
[12:25:06] ÇΆŀή (kenny.szaberwick): yes
[12:25:10] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ok :)
[12:25:32] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason): Would you still support them if you needed some ammo and couldn't find one inworld I wonder? :p
[12:25:37] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): oh before i forget, we will put a log from this on the blog later. also for my own weak memory, so i can keep in mind what we spoke about
[12:26:17] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): mhm we could bin our generic ammo vendors and have ammo a tradeable good like many other stuff too
[12:26:50] ÇΆŀή (kenny.szaberwick): I think so barren that is a good point, though perhaps would add some realism.
[12:26:59] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ok :)
[12:27:05] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd ?
[12:27:15] Syd Straaf: Regarding Kylie's comments about potions and darts.. the refill at home thing is not a problem for me, I think, but I do agree with Kylie that the radius is a little tight. It could stand to be a 10m circle maybe. Also, I'd like to request that the swirling colors from the darts not stack. It's bad enough having impaired vision right after losing your strength buffer, but 3 darts will make you completely blind, which in my opinion is overkill (no pun intended) and can even tempt people into removing or hiding the color hud in order to have a chance
[12:28:03] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ok, refill eased up to 10 meters, airtighter to cheat of moving home position.. dart-blinders not stackable
[12:28:15] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Reni?
[12:28:20] Reni (serenityaeon): i see the point that battles in the jungle are balancing better with the home potion refill. but the home advantage is massive and my fear is that things like raids won't happen at all in future, because it's nearly impossible for attackers to break into a camp. on the other side i have the fear that people are hiding at home instead of going out. just my thoughts
[12:29:32] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i can play a bit with the loss of strength on shots, like.. a hit would deduct more points from strength than it does currently.. but falls back to normal damage when it is at the core health
[12:29:40] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): if that helps?
[12:30:15] Reni (serenityaeon): might work, yes
[12:30:18] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): or slow down the refill option.. like.. you must have 10 minute gaps between refills
[12:30:22] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): various options there
[12:30:43] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i will have a think about it
[12:30:47] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Eve ?
[12:30:50] Eve Fintan (viviana.ruby): Mining & Preserving:
Can the chat be reduced so it will be easier to RP while doing those activites. Also is there any use for rocks mined or can there be? Perhaps ammo.
Coin Bags: Will we be able to make our own with the scripts like we do with the amazon weapons?
[12:32:14] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): coin bags i handled very conservatively after we found out that our first coin system had been hacked - with quite some energy (e.g. firing up a mesh importer to duplicate the mesh from scratch and ivolving other methods that exceed clearly the average user)
[12:32:59] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): and when i caught that cuplirt i did not even get an apology but sassy remarks and names being called :) so, .. i am reluctant to make it easy for like minded individuals of him
[12:34:46] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) smiles "splendid...
[12:34:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Namida ?
[12:34:53] Namida Giulia: on the strength potions: they are very good in the dynamic of having a better "home defense" so in that way most of the players can feel safer at their home, what i'd like is that the hallucination effect would be removed, because since i know that it can be easily exploited, i never know if exploit it or no. For the moment i run through the trees, but i also know that if someone is going to keep fighting while darted multiple times, and i've a fishy feeling, i'm going to exploit and counter attack. Good the 10 minutes cooldown between the refills i agree with a cooldown like that ^^
[12:35:23] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) smiles "Ok. thank you
[12:35:26] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Melissa ?
[12:35:37] Melissa (missygulf): The ammo issue that I see is that tribes and factions have stock piles of it at their bases and older jungle people have tons, so not sure if that would work and create more rp. Also I prefer the limp then the swirling colors from the darts and people can actually see the dart implications
[12:36:04] Eve Fintan (viviana.ruby): bring back the limp!
[12:36:08] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): hm limping is interesting too :)
[12:36:12] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ok
[12:36:16] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Angy ?
[12:36:24] Angy (angyangela.ronas): para principiantes to sera mas complicado
[12:36:26] Angyangela Ronas es>en: for beginners to be more complicated
[12:36:40] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): you want it more difficult?
[12:37:00] Angy (angyangela.ronas): no, easier
[12:37:02] Angyangela Ronas es>en: no, easier
[12:37:17] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): what was the most difficult thing for you ?
[12:38:17] Angy (angyangela.ronas): haha todo es nuevo y necesita prctica
[12:38:20] Angyangela Ronas es>en: Everything is new and needs practice
[12:38:29] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) smiles
[12:38:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): but is there something where you say "without help i would have never got this to work" ?
[12:39:49] Angy (angyangela.ronas): si el roleplay me cuesta todavia
[12:39:50] Angyangela Ronas es>en: if the roleplay still costs me
[12:40:47] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ok - please use "help" in the spirit next time when you stumble into a problem. then your message is recorded and it helps us as staff to see where things are difficult to understand
[12:41:00] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): then we can make it easier for the future
[12:41:38] Angyangela Ronas es>en: Thank you
[12:41:43] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): thank you too :)
[12:41:46] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd ?
[12:41:51] Syd Straaf: Currently when you get paid via the coin purse you're notified how much you received and how much you have. Would it be possible to have the message also include who paid you?
[12:42:13] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): oh, yes.. i think that should be possible, i will check
[12:42:17] Syd Straaf: thanks
[12:42:22] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): :)
[12:42:23] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Diana ?
[12:42:25] Diana Fawcett (mistresskatharina): how much help are we allowed? I am stuck in the pyramid so no boomerang for me until someone helps me
[12:42:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): with all quests you are allowed as much help as you want but only as roleplay
[12:43:06] Diana Fawcett (mistresskatharina) smiles
[12:43:08] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the help button in the spirit is only for technical problems, OOC level
[12:43:20] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the quests are in fact only roleplay helpers as well
[12:43:29] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): think of lara croft or indiana jones...
[12:43:32] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): form teams
[12:43:38] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): figure things out as team
[12:43:42] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): roleplay it!
[12:43:44] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): :)
[12:43:55] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Rain?
[12:44:11] ƦȧiƝ (rain.jezebel): Two things:
The first one is that I am still unable to count my prims. I tried on 3 different regions yesterday and it skips CatAdore and Lago Marimba on my HUD.
The second one is having a quest guide position for those that need to have someone help with finding 7 people together when they are new, or just someone to help pal around with and give them a nudge in the right direction?
[12:45:54] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the primcount, Baron can give you one if you badly need one - otherwise the simwide counters can get stuck but reset once per day.. so if they don't work yesterday, try today
[12:45:59] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason): I run a comprehensive prim usage report each day. If you need a report and for any reason the spirit report is misbehaving, drop me an IM and I can give you at least a reasonably up to date status.
[12:46:29] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the quests that need 7 peeps work now also with 2 peeps only.
[12:46:41] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): alas you get of course only 2 prices then as well
[12:46:47] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): *prizes
[12:46:55] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Reni?
[12:47:00] Reni (serenityaeon): i have a dumb question, sorry, but i really don't know or missed the info about it: what is the difference between splash and straight hits? splash looked like a ricochet but seemed to have no real effect and wasn't consuming ammo. [2019/06/18 10:22:52] curare arrow: straight hit on john4255 Resident
[2019/06/18 10:22:52] curare arrow: splash hit on john4255 Resident
[12:47:22] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): you can ignore them
[12:47:31] Reni (serenityaeon): oki
[12:47:45] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): splash and straight is still from way back when we worked with the GM - and i did not get around to eliminate that message line
[12:47:56] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd?
[12:48:04] Syd Straaf: My big question is about bugs when shooting. There has been an issue for quite some time where sometimes ranged just doesn't work. Clicking does nothing, although often turns the cursor into a hand with a lock on it. This issue happens in all kinds of conditions and doesn't seem to correlate with sim or local lag, plus when it happens it is usually not a quickly passing thing. It can be an issue for an hour or more. One circumstance that's almost guaranteed to trigger this bug is water - trying to shoot from water or right after getting out o fit.
Sometimes it's enough to go out and back into mouselook but other times the only way to make your weapon shoot again is to detach and reattach the weapon (something I know doesn't really make sense since the hud does the shooting, but still, this often seems to be the solution). So I guess my question(s) are 1, are you aware of this and 2) if so, is this something you've been working on and expect to have fixed eventually.
[12:48:49] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): it is a viewer bug, annoyingly. not much what we can do there, it got worse even with the last update
[12:49:03] Syd Straaf: in all viewers?
[12:49:12] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i know that kokua suffers less from that bug but then again kokua has other issues
[12:49:51] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): it is in all viewers as basically they are modular, the viewers and the special flavours that firestorm kokua etc are, only emphasize parts of these modules with additional code
[12:50:29] Syd Straaf: ok, thanks.. hopefully it'll get fixed in a future version of FS
[12:50:43] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): yes. i would like that very much too..
[12:50:54] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i think a new FS will still be a while though...
[12:51:15] Syd Straaf: probably, yeah
[12:51:20] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): as currently all eyes are on EEP. enhancend environment project.. a sort of "Windlight reloaded"
[12:51:28] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): with options interesting for me as scripter...
[12:51:43] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): so i can for example force your viewer into darkness when you enter a cave
[12:51:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i am very much looking forward to that
[12:51:56] Reni (serenityaeon): nuuu
[12:52:02] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): but they are still ironing out serious bugs there
[12:52:04] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason): :p
[12:52:24] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) looks at the cube and sees no names there
[12:52:42] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): you are all happy? /looks up hopefully and grins
[12:52:48] ƦȧiƝ (rain.jezebel) nods
[12:53:05] ChannyMore: nope, not until baron washes off his paint!
[12:53:12] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason) smiles
12:53:22] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): well.. then we are happy too. i wish to express my thank you to my staff, as there are seekers, priestesses, mentors, healer mentors and guards.. (i hope i did not forget anybody)
[12:53:34] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ah there are names...
[12:53:39] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) stops the thankyou-list
[12:53:40] Syd Straaf: wait, there are people who are actually happy?
[12:53:46] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) grins
[12:53:49] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Melissa?
[12:53:51] Melissa (missygulf): Can we get something to use the antivenom on again?
[12:54:08] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): hmm maybe.. /looks at Baron
[12:54:11] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): he did it!
[12:54:27] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason): You want bitey ants back?
[12:54:34] Melissa (missygulf): yes!
[12:54:36] Syd Straaf: what kind of healer requests that people get sick more often?
[12:54:39] ChannyMore: spiders!
[12:54:42] Melissa (missygulf): this one
[12:55:14] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason): I'll see what can be done.
[12:55:21] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): sweet as
[12:55:27] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Henry?
[12:55:28] Henry Vyceratops: I just remembered we had 4-5 years ago some "specialisation" when we had this contest for giving points on good rp
It turned into a popluarity contest, but the general idea, that you can choose some buffs-like extra hp or so
could maybe add some interesting way of make your character more "you" ?
I agree on limping. Is a effect you can not counter that easily as a blinding effect.
Plus, I would really love to get the old range limits back for ranged and melee , like it is now, is nearly obsolote as the gunner shoots and shoots and shoots until you finally get close enough
for the gunning , it happens with melee too. one fix is detaching the spirit. often, sometimes you need to detach all weapons, go peaceful, detach spirit, change modes. it fixes sometimes
it seems the longer you are on the worse it gets .but just my experience
[12:56:36] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ok. i will look into these with the points and the rangelimits
[12:56:43] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd ?
[12:56:52] Syd Straaf: Is there a way we can have access to the experience so that we could make our own *glances at Melissa* spiders and ants and snakes and things?
[12:56:52] Syd Straaf: Is there a way we can have access to the experience so that we could make our own *glances at Melissa* spiders and ants and snakes and things?
[12:57:28] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): hmm maybe
[12:57:41] Syd Straaf: cool
[12:58:10] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the next thing i plan is to enhance the wapon script so that weapon makers can get defined code-spots for adding effects, like particles and sound...
[12:58:26] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): and then make then copy/transfer, so that you can make weapons and give them away or even sell
[12:58:36] Namida Giulia: woot woot, nice ^
[12:58:55] Eve Fintan (viviana.ruby): ooh
[12:59:03] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i will think of a "general damage" script for selfmade traps
[12:59:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd?
[12:59:52] Syd Straaf: as long as you're doing that with the weapon kit is there any way to also include a way to wear multiple weapons of the same type and choose on the fly which to wield (like a rifle and a pistol)?
[13:00:19] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): that would have to be then the task of the weapon maker
[13:00:30] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): tehoretically that is possible, yes
[13:00:37] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Nalle ?
[13:00:40] Nalle Jacobus: Short question, any chance of CTF again? And, is it possible too borrow the ctf gadgets too arrange friendly's ourself?
[13:00:55] Reni (serenityaeon): ^^
[13:01:24] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): yes, CTF wil come back, we just had a big load of RL, Baron first, then me.. and this WE we have already an event at the love temple...
[13:01:40] Reni (serenityaeon): yaaay \o/
[13:01:48] Eve Fintan (viviana.ruby): :D
[13:02:08] ChannyMore: hump day!
[13:02:19] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): but next WE, likely.. the CTF items are not transferable.. and they are a bit bugged, which is why Baron and i are around on each CTF
[13:02:33] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): on lag the teddy sometimes refuses to attach
[13:02:43] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): and if we are not around then you can't fix it
[13:03:00] Nalle Jacobus: ok, look forward too CTF again
[13:03:07] Reni (serenityaeon): yiss
[13:03:27] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) smiles and looks at the empty speaker list again
[13:04:31] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): aaaaah there we go :)
[13:04:33] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Namida ?
[13:04:36] Namida Giulia: how about make the damage of the dart 4 HP and 10 Strength? Instead of stripping 40 Strength in one shot? I think that would make the pew pew more fun
[13:04:55] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i can experiment with such, yes
[13:04:56] Nalle Jacobus: YESSS!!!!!!
[13:05:02] Angy (angyangela.ronas): que quiere decir CTF ?
[13:05:05] Angyangela Ronas es>en: What does CTF mean?
[13:05:10] Reni (serenityaeon): ok, are we done? can i now throw a cracker at Nami?
[13:05:25] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Capture the Flag - it is a contest. two teams try to reach a flag
[13:05:49] Angy (angyangela.ronas): OHHH
[13:05:51] Angyangela Ronas en>en: OHHH
[13:06:04] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) pats the cube "empty?
[13:06:18] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) shakes the cube
[13:06:27] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd ?
[13:06:30] Syd Straaf: Thank you very much, Tan and Baron, for having this great meeting!
[13:06:40] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): yay ! :)
[13:06:43] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Henry?
[13:06:44] Syd Straaf: winks.. "that's all"
[13:06:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) winks back
[13:06:54] Reni (serenityaeon): yes, these things count a lot. thank you!
[13:07:00] Eve Fintan (viviana.ruby): Yes thank you both. :D
[13:07:07] Henry Vyceratops: I overheard some people having ideas for hunts and stuff, but nor waning to be a supporter, could we have some "special" prims boord or such?=
[13:07:19] Henry Vyceratops: *board
[13:07:39] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): who wants to support and organize hunts shall please use "help" and ask for a priestess, they will then look into it
[13:07:56] Henry Vyceratops: I know I asked Tantrica ages ago but some seem to be to be shy to ask
[13:08:13] Henry Vyceratops: oki will tell people tp do that
[13:08:17] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): thank you :)
[13:08:23] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ok - so i said my thanks to staff already - and of course i thank also all of you, dear Amazonians, who bring the life to our jungle - i am happy to have you here - lets look forward to many years more to come ! thank you for your attention
[13:08:38] ƦȧiƝ (rain.jezebel) waves as she rises "Thank you Baron and Tantrica, byes all."
[13:08:45] ζ Maccus 乙єησгια ξ (marcus.zenoria): Thank you Tan and BAron
[13:08:47] Namida Giulia: thanks everybody ~ !
[13:08:55] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason): Thanks everyone - and thanks Tan for running the meeting so smoothly!
[13:08:56] Melissa (missygulf): Thank you Tantrica and Baron
~~~~~~~~
[12:01:31] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): so to not sink into chaos, let me explain first a few rules, which will make the group talk much easier
[12:01:51] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): first thing: do NOT simply talk away. if you want to say somthing, click the cube here in front of us...
[12:02:21] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): then your name will appear above the cube, as sign that you have been noticed.. then WAIT until we call your name.. (but you can already type ahead in your chatline, just don't press enter)
[12:02:57] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): once you have said your piece, the genius masterscript inthis cube, developed by that handsome brain to my left, aka Baron the well hung, will remove the name from the list
[12:03:17] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason) tips my hat
[12:03:57] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): so.. since this is your hour, or two hours, or how long we will need, we need of course *your* input.. so ideally you click already that cube and bild a queue by that.. while i can answer one question that has been asked ahead already
[12:04:26] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the question that has been asked was:
[12:04:29] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): " What if we had cooks they get extra bonus special recipes for maybe health points , A Weapon Maker that can make arrows so it does not take 1 min per around but they can make a lot , Take away the poison darts from healers give it to a poison maker or something . Make more skilled trades that will be needed ,my thoughts where to have more skilled professions , So
Amo Maker so you get arrows from them
Cook you get your food from them
Poison Master you get darts and something else from them
[12:05:39] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): so, in a nutshell: offering specialized "Jobs", like healer is already, whether it would be possible to have special cooks, weapon-makers, etc. i will discuss this with the other leaders, but i have to say, it takes quite some organizational backdrpo to keep such structures running
[12:06:00] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): like we needed years for the healers to get them in the good shape in which they are now...
[12:06:18] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the time it took was partly because we experimented, tried to see what works, what fails...
[12:06:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): and then when we had an idea which direction to go we needed still dedicated people to that, which we have now, with the healer mentors under the lead of Melissa
[12:07:25] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): but that is not easy and means actual work, for her and her mentors.. so.. i am not sure if we are big enough to shoulder such additional workload for other "specialists"
[12:07:37] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): so.. I don't know yet
[12:07:54] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): however, speaking of Melissa, she has already lined up a question, and so now, your turn
[12:08:21] Melissa (missygulf): I was just going to ask if we could comment on suggestions or comments
[12:08:32] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): sure, feel free to !
[12:08:56] Melissa (missygulf): OKay so my comment is that most tribes and factions already have those things in place in their groups
[12:09:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): yes, i observed that too, that always the same people of some groups gather food - and others do ammo.. so there seems to be something like that in place in the groups, which is just perfect
[12:10:04] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Reni ?
[12:10:49] Reni (serenityaeon): i do like the idea of specialised jobs: one needs many different things but can only produce one. no matter if he's ina group or not he needs to socialize to get the other things he needs. could he a nice thing to get more RP going, maybe
[12:11:17] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) nods
[12:11:52] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): well. if you want to have such things running, i leave this as open offer in the open. please contact me then if you are willing to take over the lead to keep astructure and to organize
[12:12:23] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i can offer in return incentives.. like healers have as incentive the option to heal.. ammo-experts can maybe have faster ammo-making- time
[12:12:28] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): I don't know yet, just ideas
[12:12:34] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd?
[12:12:44] Syd Straaf: Job specialization doesn't seem like it needs to be as complicated or involved as the healer role. It could be as simple as getting your name on a list that allows you to do the particular task.
[12:13:42] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): that would be the simplest form. but i think we should have an incentive and also a small step to climb, to achieve it. so that people actually earn that tag and then benefit from it
[12:14:15] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason): We also need to be sure that such additional roles don't upset the balance in the jungle in some way
[12:14:24] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): true
[12:14:26] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Naimda?
[12:15:58] Namida Giulia: that's a good idea the specialization, i thought to something too in the past, like if you do an arrow and you are not specialized it needs 10 minutes, else 1 minute ~ what i was wondering if that's possible to reach the status of "artisan" let's say so doing the same thing over time, like for example: i fish for 4 hours per day, so i become quickly a master fisher, let's say so, but then there is a counter that goes down over time, so if i don't fish let's say 2 hours per day i lose this status
[12:16:16] Namida Giulia: but i've no idea with all the scripting and such things o.O
[12:16:40] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) grins "me neither!"
[12:16:45] Namida Giulia: XD
[12:16:55] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): but the idea is not bad, sounds feasible .
[12:17:09] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Channy?
[12:18:00] ChannyMore: This suggestion is from Kylie storm VIA Skype
For the potions and coins,
Why not have a broader area to refill
Maybe a few meters from your Rez
Also instead of losing all your strength with one dart
Why not just lose some stregnth not all... what's the sense of using the potion when it's gone with only one shot? to me it totally defeats the purpose
[12:18:26] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) smiles
[12:19:09] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i have to say.. since we have introduced the "potion refill only at home" we have solved *many* problems. because, why did we have constant OOC complaints which involved guards, priesteses arrests?
[12:19:23] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): because many people who do metered combat are not able, emotionally, to take a beating, to lose
[12:19:36] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): but in the logic, if *everyone* only wants to win, then no one can win
[12:19:55] ChannyMore: okay, thanks
[12:19:59] ChannyMore: i'll send it to her
[12:20:13] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): since we have potion refill only at home the chances are for the first time since we run amazon (and that is since 6 years or so) a balanced battlefield
[12:20:20] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): of course, people at home are at advantage
[12:20:25] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): like it would be RL too
[12:20:46] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): and it became so easy to handle for us that i am very hesitating to touch it
[12:20:46] ChannyMore: nods
[12:20:54] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Henry?
[12:21:05] Henry Vyceratops: We already literally drown in ressources since day one, and I was here really quite from the beginning,even I was back then no regular. I do not see any need for making things faster. I do not even count ressources anymore, and I bet is same with any former leader of a group or most regulars.
A special market area would be cool though , like we tried it years ago. Rogues could steal rich traders and so on.
But then, if you want that easy to organize in rp
and no offense, but fishig is aprime example for how it would not work, people just park and fish and are "masters"
you need a dead man device than, and soon all gets really complicated...
just my 2 cents
strength potions I agree on, is just an extra hit with 90% iof all people who fight. some bleeding would be nice, like it is an infection and has to be cure maybe
plus if you want to "cheat" and refill you set home where you are, refill, seen that a dozen times.
[12:22:10] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): which part of strength potions do you agree on? to only fill it at home? or what?
[12:22:38] Henry Vyceratops: fill at home i love. no i would like the darts do some bleeding effect maybe on top
[12:23:12] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ah ok.. we can do that, and i can tie the "at home" tule much stricter also if it gets abused too much, though no one reported it yet
[12:23:27] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Cain?
[12:23:50] ÇΆŀή (kenny.szaberwick): I like the idea of forcing people to have to rp to get their ammo as i see it combat should be a means to rp and not combat for the sake of it. So having people roleplay to get ammo from weapons makers i think is a good idea. Also agree with what Henry said.
[12:24:18] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) nods "so you would support "ammo specialists" then ?
[12:24:56] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) pokes Cain
[12:25:06] ÇΆŀή (kenny.szaberwick): yes
[12:25:10] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ok :)
[12:25:32] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason): Would you still support them if you needed some ammo and couldn't find one inworld I wonder? :p
[12:25:37] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): oh before i forget, we will put a log from this on the blog later. also for my own weak memory, so i can keep in mind what we spoke about
[12:26:17] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): mhm we could bin our generic ammo vendors and have ammo a tradeable good like many other stuff too
[12:26:50] ÇΆŀή (kenny.szaberwick): I think so barren that is a good point, though perhaps would add some realism.
[12:26:59] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ok :)
[12:27:05] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd ?
[12:27:15] Syd Straaf: Regarding Kylie's comments about potions and darts.. the refill at home thing is not a problem for me, I think, but I do agree with Kylie that the radius is a little tight. It could stand to be a 10m circle maybe. Also, I'd like to request that the swirling colors from the darts not stack. It's bad enough having impaired vision right after losing your strength buffer, but 3 darts will make you completely blind, which in my opinion is overkill (no pun intended) and can even tempt people into removing or hiding the color hud in order to have a chance
[12:28:03] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ok, refill eased up to 10 meters, airtighter to cheat of moving home position.. dart-blinders not stackable
[12:28:15] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Reni?
[12:28:20] Reni (serenityaeon): i see the point that battles in the jungle are balancing better with the home potion refill. but the home advantage is massive and my fear is that things like raids won't happen at all in future, because it's nearly impossible for attackers to break into a camp. on the other side i have the fear that people are hiding at home instead of going out. just my thoughts
[12:29:32] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i can play a bit with the loss of strength on shots, like.. a hit would deduct more points from strength than it does currently.. but falls back to normal damage when it is at the core health
[12:29:40] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): if that helps?
[12:30:15] Reni (serenityaeon): might work, yes
[12:30:18] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): or slow down the refill option.. like.. you must have 10 minute gaps between refills
[12:30:22] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): various options there
[12:30:43] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i will have a think about it
[12:30:47] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Eve ?
[12:30:50] Eve Fintan (viviana.ruby): Mining & Preserving:
Can the chat be reduced so it will be easier to RP while doing those activites. Also is there any use for rocks mined or can there be? Perhaps ammo.
Coin Bags: Will we be able to make our own with the scripts like we do with the amazon weapons?
[12:32:14] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): coin bags i handled very conservatively after we found out that our first coin system had been hacked - with quite some energy (e.g. firing up a mesh importer to duplicate the mesh from scratch and ivolving other methods that exceed clearly the average user)
[12:32:59] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): and when i caught that cuplirt i did not even get an apology but sassy remarks and names being called :) so, .. i am reluctant to make it easy for like minded individuals of him
[12:34:46] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) smiles "splendid...
[12:34:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Namida ?
[12:34:53] Namida Giulia: on the strength potions: they are very good in the dynamic of having a better "home defense" so in that way most of the players can feel safer at their home, what i'd like is that the hallucination effect would be removed, because since i know that it can be easily exploited, i never know if exploit it or no. For the moment i run through the trees, but i also know that if someone is going to keep fighting while darted multiple times, and i've a fishy feeling, i'm going to exploit and counter attack. Good the 10 minutes cooldown between the refills i agree with a cooldown like that ^^
[12:35:23] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) smiles "Ok. thank you
[12:35:26] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Melissa ?
[12:35:37] Melissa (missygulf): The ammo issue that I see is that tribes and factions have stock piles of it at their bases and older jungle people have tons, so not sure if that would work and create more rp. Also I prefer the limp then the swirling colors from the darts and people can actually see the dart implications
[12:36:04] Eve Fintan (viviana.ruby): bring back the limp!
[12:36:08] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): hm limping is interesting too :)
[12:36:12] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ok
[12:36:16] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Angy ?
[12:36:24] Angy (angyangela.ronas): para principiantes to sera mas complicado
[12:36:26] Angyangela Ronas es>en: for beginners to be more complicated
[12:36:40] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): you want it more difficult?
[12:37:00] Angy (angyangela.ronas): no, easier
[12:37:02] Angyangela Ronas es>en: no, easier
[12:37:17] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): what was the most difficult thing for you ?
[12:38:17] Angy (angyangela.ronas): haha todo es nuevo y necesita prctica
[12:38:20] Angyangela Ronas es>en: Everything is new and needs practice
[12:38:29] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) smiles
[12:38:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): but is there something where you say "without help i would have never got this to work" ?
[12:39:49] Angy (angyangela.ronas): si el roleplay me cuesta todavia
[12:39:50] Angyangela Ronas es>en: if the roleplay still costs me
[12:40:47] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ok - please use "help" in the spirit next time when you stumble into a problem. then your message is recorded and it helps us as staff to see where things are difficult to understand
[12:41:00] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): then we can make it easier for the future
[12:41:38] Angyangela Ronas es>en: Thank you
[12:41:43] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): thank you too :)
[12:41:46] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd ?
[12:41:51] Syd Straaf: Currently when you get paid via the coin purse you're notified how much you received and how much you have. Would it be possible to have the message also include who paid you?
[12:42:13] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): oh, yes.. i think that should be possible, i will check
[12:42:17] Syd Straaf: thanks
[12:42:22] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): :)
[12:42:23] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Diana ?
[12:42:25] Diana Fawcett (mistresskatharina): how much help are we allowed? I am stuck in the pyramid so no boomerang for me until someone helps me
[12:42:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): with all quests you are allowed as much help as you want but only as roleplay
[12:43:06] Diana Fawcett (mistresskatharina) smiles
[12:43:08] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the help button in the spirit is only for technical problems, OOC level
[12:43:20] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the quests are in fact only roleplay helpers as well
[12:43:29] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): think of lara croft or indiana jones...
[12:43:32] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): form teams
[12:43:38] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): figure things out as team
[12:43:42] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): roleplay it!
[12:43:44] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): :)
[12:43:55] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Rain?
[12:44:11] ƦȧiƝ (rain.jezebel): Two things:
The first one is that I am still unable to count my prims. I tried on 3 different regions yesterday and it skips CatAdore and Lago Marimba on my HUD.
The second one is having a quest guide position for those that need to have someone help with finding 7 people together when they are new, or just someone to help pal around with and give them a nudge in the right direction?
[12:45:54] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the primcount, Baron can give you one if you badly need one - otherwise the simwide counters can get stuck but reset once per day.. so if they don't work yesterday, try today
[12:45:59] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason): I run a comprehensive prim usage report each day. If you need a report and for any reason the spirit report is misbehaving, drop me an IM and I can give you at least a reasonably up to date status.
[12:46:29] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the quests that need 7 peeps work now also with 2 peeps only.
[12:46:41] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): alas you get of course only 2 prices then as well
[12:46:47] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): *prizes
[12:46:55] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Reni?
[12:47:00] Reni (serenityaeon): i have a dumb question, sorry, but i really don't know or missed the info about it: what is the difference between splash and straight hits? splash looked like a ricochet but seemed to have no real effect and wasn't consuming ammo. [2019/06/18 10:22:52] curare arrow: straight hit on john4255 Resident
[2019/06/18 10:22:52] curare arrow: splash hit on john4255 Resident
[12:47:22] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): you can ignore them
[12:47:31] Reni (serenityaeon): oki
[12:47:45] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): splash and straight is still from way back when we worked with the GM - and i did not get around to eliminate that message line
[12:47:56] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd?
[12:48:04] Syd Straaf: My big question is about bugs when shooting. There has been an issue for quite some time where sometimes ranged just doesn't work. Clicking does nothing, although often turns the cursor into a hand with a lock on it. This issue happens in all kinds of conditions and doesn't seem to correlate with sim or local lag, plus when it happens it is usually not a quickly passing thing. It can be an issue for an hour or more. One circumstance that's almost guaranteed to trigger this bug is water - trying to shoot from water or right after getting out o fit.
Sometimes it's enough to go out and back into mouselook but other times the only way to make your weapon shoot again is to detach and reattach the weapon (something I know doesn't really make sense since the hud does the shooting, but still, this often seems to be the solution). So I guess my question(s) are 1, are you aware of this and 2) if so, is this something you've been working on and expect to have fixed eventually.
[12:48:49] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): it is a viewer bug, annoyingly. not much what we can do there, it got worse even with the last update
[12:49:03] Syd Straaf: in all viewers?
[12:49:12] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i know that kokua suffers less from that bug but then again kokua has other issues
[12:49:51] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): it is in all viewers as basically they are modular, the viewers and the special flavours that firestorm kokua etc are, only emphasize parts of these modules with additional code
[12:50:29] Syd Straaf: ok, thanks.. hopefully it'll get fixed in a future version of FS
[12:50:43] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): yes. i would like that very much too..
[12:50:54] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i think a new FS will still be a while though...
[12:51:15] Syd Straaf: probably, yeah
[12:51:20] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): as currently all eyes are on EEP. enhancend environment project.. a sort of "Windlight reloaded"
[12:51:28] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): with options interesting for me as scripter...
[12:51:43] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): so i can for example force your viewer into darkness when you enter a cave
[12:51:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i am very much looking forward to that
[12:51:56] Reni (serenityaeon): nuuu
[12:52:02] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): but they are still ironing out serious bugs there
[12:52:04] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason): :p
[12:52:24] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) looks at the cube and sees no names there
[12:52:42] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): you are all happy? /looks up hopefully and grins
[12:52:48] ƦȧiƝ (rain.jezebel) nods
[12:53:05] ChannyMore: nope, not until baron washes off his paint!
[12:53:12] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason) smiles
12:53:22] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): well.. then we are happy too. i wish to express my thank you to my staff, as there are seekers, priestesses, mentors, healer mentors and guards.. (i hope i did not forget anybody)
[12:53:34] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ah there are names...
[12:53:39] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) stops the thankyou-list
[12:53:40] Syd Straaf: wait, there are people who are actually happy?
[12:53:46] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) grins
[12:53:49] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Melissa?
[12:53:51] Melissa (missygulf): Can we get something to use the antivenom on again?
[12:54:08] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): hmm maybe.. /looks at Baron
[12:54:11] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): he did it!
[12:54:27] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason): You want bitey ants back?
[12:54:34] Melissa (missygulf): yes!
[12:54:36] Syd Straaf: what kind of healer requests that people get sick more often?
[12:54:39] ChannyMore: spiders!
[12:54:42] Melissa (missygulf): this one
[12:55:14] Baron La Croix (edgeofreason): I'll see what can be done.
[12:55:21] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): sweet as
[12:55:27] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Henry?
[12:55:28] Henry Vyceratops: I just remembered we had 4-5 years ago some "specialisation" when we had this contest for giving points on good rp
It turned into a popluarity contest, but the general idea, that you can choose some buffs-like extra hp or so
could maybe add some interesting way of make your character more "you" ?
I agree on limping. Is a effect you can not counter that easily as a blinding effect.
Plus, I would really love to get the old range limits back for ranged and melee , like it is now, is nearly obsolote as the gunner shoots and shoots and shoots until you finally get close enough
for the gunning , it happens with melee too. one fix is detaching the spirit. often, sometimes you need to detach all weapons, go peaceful, detach spirit, change modes. it fixes sometimes
it seems the longer you are on the worse it gets .but just my experience
[12:56:36] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): ok. i will look into these with the points and the rangelimits
[12:56:43] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd ?
[12:56:52] Syd Straaf: Is there a way we can have access to the experience so that we could make our own *glances at Melissa* spiders and ants and snakes and things?
[12:56:52] Syd Straaf: Is there a way we can have access to the experience so that we could make our own *glances at Melissa* spiders and ants and snakes and things?
[12:57:28] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): hmm maybe
[12:57:41] Syd Straaf: cool
[12:58:10] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): the next thing i plan is to enhance the wapon script so that weapon makers can get defined code-spots for adding effects, like particles and sound...
[12:58:26] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): and then make then copy/transfer, so that you can make weapons and give them away or even sell
[12:58:36] Namida Giulia: woot woot, nice ^
[12:58:55] Eve Fintan (viviana.ruby): ooh
[12:59:03] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i will think of a "general damage" script for selfmade traps
[12:59:50] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd?
[12:59:52] Syd Straaf: as long as you're doing that with the weapon kit is there any way to also include a way to wear multiple weapons of the same type and choose on the fly which to wield (like a rifle and a pistol)?
[13:00:19] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): that would have to be then the task of the weapon maker
[13:00:30] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): tehoretically that is possible, yes
[13:00:37] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Nalle ?
[13:00:40] Nalle Jacobus: Short question, any chance of CTF again? And, is it possible too borrow the ctf gadgets too arrange friendly's ourself?
[13:00:55] Reni (serenityaeon): ^^
[13:01:24] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): yes, CTF wil come back, we just had a big load of RL, Baron first, then me.. and this WE we have already an event at the love temple...
[13:01:40] Reni (serenityaeon): yaaay \o/
[13:01:48] Eve Fintan (viviana.ruby): :D
[13:02:08] ChannyMore: hump day!
[13:02:19] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): but next WE, likely.. the CTF items are not transferable.. and they are a bit bugged, which is why Baron and i are around on each CTF
[13:02:33] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): on lag the teddy sometimes refuses to attach
[13:02:43] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): and if we are not around then you can't fix it
[13:03:00] Nalle Jacobus: ok, look forward too CTF again
[13:03:07] Reni (serenityaeon): yiss
[13:03:27] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) smiles and looks at the empty speaker list again
[13:04:31] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): aaaaah there we go :)
[13:04:33] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Namida ?
[13:04:36] Namida Giulia: how about make the damage of the dart 4 HP and 10 Strength? Instead of stripping 40 Strength in one shot? I think that would make the pew pew more fun
[13:04:55] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): i can experiment with such, yes
[13:04:56] Nalle Jacobus: YESSS!!!!!!
[13:05:02] Angy (angyangela.ronas): que quiere decir CTF ?
[13:05:05] Angyangela Ronas es>en: What does CTF mean?
[13:05:10] Reni (serenityaeon): ok, are we done? can i now throw a cracker at Nami?
[13:05:25] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Capture the Flag - it is a contest. two teams try to reach a flag
[13:05:49] Angy (angyangela.ronas): OHHH
[13:05:51] Angyangela Ronas en>en: OHHH
[13:06:04] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) pats the cube "empty?
[13:06:18] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant) shakes the cube
[13:06:27] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): Syd ?

[13:07:00] Eve Fintan (viviana.ruby): Yes thank you both. :D
[13:07:07] Henry Vyceratops: I overheard some people having ideas for hunts and stuff, but nor waning to be a supporter, could we have some "special" prims boord or such?=
[13:07:19] Henry Vyceratops: *board
[13:07:39] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): who wants to support and organize hunts shall please use "help" and ask for a priestess, they will then look into it
[13:07:56] Henry Vyceratops: I know I asked Tantrica ages ago but some seem to be to be shy to ask
[13:08:13] Henry Vyceratops: oki will tell people tp do that
[13:08:17] Tantrica ღ (yt.recreant): thank you :)
