What Happened To You Today?

Kayeil

Saw a friend I haven't seen in FOREVER, seriously thought they weren't going to log in anymore because it has been so long. Really nice to see someone I've been friends with a long time and that they will be popping in from time to time whenever they get a chance.

You can't just shrug and say "WELP IT'S OVER NOW, LET'S MOVE ON!" because this massively affected the in game economy to a huge degree. Hundreds of millions of gold, Klen... that's not something that just "diminishes over time". The fact that the punishments basically amount to nothing is extremely worrisome, considering the scope of this abuse.

Slap the fuckups on the wrist, reward everybody else, call it a day. 

lolwut?

Suck it, I got a Great Hunt.

@Makarios / @Nicola - Can we get a little addon to SHIP TRADE DEAL SHOW that will tell us who accepted the deal on our ship? Gonna have to comb through my buddies to see who I had accept this deal for me the other day


I suggest just SHIP TRADE DEAL CANCEL and not worrying about it.

(Party): You say, "Seamonster at 20% !!!"
(Party): You say, "Hull at 55 - MAINTAIN HULL !!"
(Party): You say, "Hull at 47 - MAINTAIN HULL !!"
(Party): You say, "Seamonster at 10% !!!"
(Party): You say, "Hull at 22 - MAINTAIN HULL !!"
(Party): You say, "Hull at 17 - MAINTAIN HULL !!"
(Party): You say, "SEAMONSTER KILLED!! STOP FIRING!!"
(Party): You say, "Hull at 12 - MAINTAIN HULL !!"
(Party): Kyrra says, "Oh my gods."

And that was in the kiddie pool in a strider. Each of the seamonster health calls were after firing a thrower as fast as possible, with Kyrra on the ballista. Scrub-level seamonster hunting business.

You forgot : 

(Party): Klendathu says, "Sails at 100 - MAINTAIN SAILS !!"

(Party): Klendathu says, "Kyrra entered Ship bow."

(Party): Klendathu says, "Sails at 100 - MAINTAIN SAILS !!"

(Party): You say, "The sails are okay!"

(Party): You say, "I promise!"

There may have been a minor bug in my trigger to report sail health.

A mhun knight flips the bird at you.

Sir Mertyn, Grand Champion of Moghedu flips the bird at you.

Well geeze, that is one bird that can flip...

Tahquil

I am sad they changed the seamonster rankings and the Grace got removed.

The little windcutter that could.

Ahmet

I got hit for 34% on a 3s balance.

I was reminded why I don't fight DWB.

I don't know if you're already doing this, but start with degen to get those clumsy/weary stuck before anything else. Should help.

Nicola

@Bann Wish granted, shiplogs will now show which captain accepted and completed a deal, and which of the two shiptrade deal types it was.

Were you guys anchored in a strider?

Not anchored, no, rowing around because we were getting pwned

Anchored is 3x repair speed. You will out-repair kiddie pool damage if anchored.

Now that I didn't know! Does it stack with deckhand 5 aura boost?

I believe so but seamonsters do massive damage adjacent so if it stayed adjacent while you roamed that's the problem. Would invite you on our hunts but we sink any ships we see

Not sure why you think the bolded is a problem for me...

If it's not then hit me up.

You're really making me want to switch specialization to DWB, buy 2 level 3 flails and run around hitting people with 22 strength.

Armali

Maybe level up a bit first. You might get exploded before your opponent does!

There is wisdom in what you say!

Great hunt this weekend folks! Double experience. Mmmm nomnomnom. I may be able to forget that bashing for levels is my antithesis for a time. Bashing once you're max level though is completely different.

I did this, it is fun, no regrets.

A brilliant image of the number 80000 flashes briefly behind your eyes.

Finally reached my goal.

Aegoth

80k what? deaths?

There is one point @Micaelis brought up that I will have to whole-heartedly agree with, and that is some obscurity with abilites and mechanics and the expectation of players to search through announces. It seems the norm in Achaean society that players are expected to riffle through announces of the past to know exactly how something works, and I find this a big detriment to new players specifically.

I recall when I had came back from dormancy and was confused as to how liquids for rifts works. I tried checking Help files and found nothing, I tried syntaxes and again nothing. I got frustrated and then was told to check announce posts, which I had to search through them to finally find the announce that explains how. Thankfully, after a wordy complaint from me, the syntaxes was added to HELP RIFTS, but that doesnt help with other capabilities.


I honestly cant remember everything off the top of my head, but I have had to skim through announce posts several times, just to understand how something fully works. This includes abilities that have a unique effect to denizens or clarification fully on how they work.


To summarize, i'm all on board for more clarity in abilities.

I guess I did want to comment on this, just to say: so do we! Given the fact that Achaea has been in operation for an impressive 20 years, there are a lot -- A LOT -- of poorly-documented commands and interactions. While it is true that some of the obscurity is intentional, and at times we don't like to give hard numbers, the particular example listed above, of a syntax that isn't readily available, is definitely a bad thing.

This affects even us in the Garden. Why just the other day, @Sartan couldn't remember the specific command to sap a mortal of all his strength, banish him to the plane of Inferno, and.... wait, I've said too much.

Trouble is... there's a lot. And of course we will make an effort with anything NEW we are building to update the appropriate HELP and AB files. Even then we will probably forget sometimes! These are also a good candidate for a BUG (or a TYPO specifically), which we can hopefully remediate quickly. And if you are trying to figure out how something works, a quick ISSUE ME will often get to it.

  @Rangor I believe this may be relevant to you.
