How did I not know this?

Klendathu

I still fire up BG2 every now and again...

Kresslack

Icewind Dale is where I got my character name from in my teens. Also really enjoyed the portrait work that went into those games.

Sena

Being underwater reduces fire damage by 60%.

Melodie

That's really a thing?

Dang. The more you know.

Sena

Cold damage is modified too, but I'm not sure by how much (I can use firewalls to check fire damage, can't think of a way to self-inflict cold damage).

Frederich

@Sena do flooded rooms provide any change to this?

Sena

Being in water doesn't change the damage, only being underwater (where you need pear/calcite to breathe), so no.

Greys

I learned you don't need the commodities out of your rift to construct a mine.

Get someone to freeze you and wait for the cold damage procs? I assume those are cold type damage

Mage classlesd new ability!

I logged on yesterday for the first time in a few years.  I was amazed to find that my house no longer existed, Shallam had become Targossas(?), most of the other houses in Mhaldor are gone, Sartan is back, there's a new class that was released not 2 weeks before I randomly decided to log in, and literally everyone on the forums is a dragon (WTF).  I saw an 18 year old in Mhaldor yesterday who is like level 80 already.  I was only able to hit 40 by the time I turned 18.  I have a bunch to catch up on.

Korben

As I suggested a ways back, we need an OLDBIE channel for old people coming back.

Welcome to a fully mapped, autowalkable, publicly available gmcp auto bashable, elite membership mineral xp boosted, denizen hp and xp boosted, hugely expanded world!

People with enough free time can easily coast into Dragon in their 20's.

In fact the auto-basher is so good I wish the admins would just implement it serverside already. It pretty much just turns Achaea bashing into a DIKU mud-esque situation where you just type kill or whatever and then go back to watching TV until the room is dead.

The admin are completely against automation, even this limited form of auto-bashing. If they catch you not paying attention to the game while hunting like this, you'll be decorating their yard. Absolutely no way they implement it in-game.

There isn't a snowballs chance in hell the admin don't know about this basher and that most anyone using Mudlet is using it.

That being said I have a laptop that I hook a 32 inch hd tv into as a dual monitor when I dock it and could effortlessly respond to an admin afk test because I am not afk. Besides, the only hard rule I've ever heard regarding automation is to not be afk. It doesn't auto walk either, which honestly I don't see why it would matter if it did so long as you are not afk. However, I could see the dislike for an auto walk aspect by most and understandably so.

edit:

Implementing this serverside would be another reason to make the new and improved Nexus client more appealing.

Morthif

Technically the rule is "If you CAN walk away and your shit can keep on going. Don't do it"

Kresslack

To get back on track....yesterday I mentioned how forgetful I am and was advised there is a REMINDER system. Well then...that's pretty amazing.

There used to be a way to generate a 17yo character. Or maybe he meant 19 and typed 18.

Antonius

There still is, as far as I know. If your character is created on the 25th of Mayan their age is initialised as 17 rather than 18.

Adrak

As far as I'm aware, you still can be 17. Just need to make your character on 25 Mayan.

Do, uh...do you just mean DOR command on svof? Cause thats what it sounds like, and I'm not certain I'd go so far as to call that an auto-basher.

Antonius

Pretty sure he means Keneanung's script.

I meant Keneanung's script which was in her signature link the last time I checked.

DOR used to be the ish though pre-battlerage when combined with another publicly available targeting script like this one http://forums.achaea.com/discussion/1501/denizen-targeting-script.  

I know it's a broad statement to say most anyone using Mudlet uses that or a similar script. However, I do think that most anyone who proactively looks for certain types of scripts can find them with little effort.

I did not know until a few days ago about the DIRECTORY <ITEM> command that can be used in an area when shopping. This has changed my life!

Sarathai

I don't use automation for my bashing except for rare instances of targeting - four at last count.

Yeah, I meant 19.  Can't edit it now.

If you don't know about it yet, you can retire old characters now and start fresh on another IRE mud or same game with a new character. Some of those 18 year old players were really oldies with a shit-ton of credits that they moved to an alt and thus had many lessons and artefacts help them get to where they are. Just look at HELP RETIREMENT to learn about it

- The world messages given by Divine zaps are now coloured according to severity.

I always just thought they chose their favourite colour. Idk why this is somehow disappointing.

That would be wrong.

A side by side window with a book reader however...

I might sometimes try to sneak in reading a line or two.
