Re: [Audyssey] Alteraeon knock spell

[Paul Weston]

I have to disagree with your interpretation of the skill.

Leatherworking is very low level (8) and has been provided to give everyone a 
chance to improve their own equipment very slightly. It is the same as the 
tailoring skill, also a low level skill and also for improving personal items.

It is not meant as a replacement for higher level druid carving but instead as 
an opportunity for all classes and levels to get a small amount of benefit for 
their eq.

I think this shows actually a great deal of knowledge into how to balance the 
game. 

It is unreasonable to expect that a skill that is available to all classes 
level 8 and above is going to allow you to improve equipment to a standard that 
would be profitable to sell or make your character super extra powerful.

I do not have confidence in Dentin and the rest, vis-à-vis development and 
balance. They have proven, time and time again that they have no clue what they 
are doing.

For instance: the leatherworking skill. Great idea in concept; create items and 
carve on them, perhaps for personal use or for sale to other players. There is 
only one serious difficulty: the items in question bind to your character. If 
you check the help file (and I just did to verify this) there is no indication 
that when you use leatherworking that the item will bind to that character. Had 
I known this from the start, I would not have wasted the pracs on the skinning 
and leatherworking skills.

Also, arguing that no one would take pick locks if Knock worked as it ought is 
faulty logic.

Re: [Audyssey] Altereon quests suggestion, area info

[Paul Weston]

Hi Dark,

I agree the quest streams are amazing on the newbie islands and help to
progress players through the game very well. I have noticed that as you
progress from Sloe to Kordan to Archais you get slightly less hand holding
when it comes to finding and starting quests. This is good I think as it
prepares you for the mainland where you are expected to rely a lot more on
your intuition when it comes to finding and starting quests. There have been
a lot of improvements to the quest process over the years and a lot of
quests do hint where to start them when you use the extra command or near
command such as quest near 1. 

My advice is to talk to everyone and try quest list on everyone. Especially
look out for mobs that have been coded to entice you like "An Old man stands
here wondering if you will talk to him" or " A worried mother paces back and
forth across the floor" These are often hints that they may have a quest or
a job to offer.

One tip I can offer you is to use the grep command to find which quests you
have yet to complete. This is a very powerful command that allows you to
filter output of commands to only show you what you are looking for.

For example if you want to see if there are quests on sloe that you have not
completed then you can use the command - QUESTS sloe |grep TODO 

What this command does is perform the usual QUESTS sloe command but filters
the output to only show you lines that contain "TODO" in them. The grep
command can be used throughout the game to quickly find information you are
looking for. Another example is if you want to quickly know what time it is
on the game then use the command TIME |grep Local This will just show the
line that has the local time on it without showing you the rest of the
information that the TIME command usually does. The grep command also has 2
useful switches -I ignores case of the search phrase and -v inverts the
search logic. So for example the command QUESTS archais |grep -I -v todo
will show you all the quests on Archais that you have completed and it will
not be case sensitive when evaluation the search phrase "todo"

Hope this helps some.

Paul (playing as Asclepius or Wango)

Hi. 

I'm absolutely loving alter at the moment, indeed I confess I've slowed down
work on the audiogames.net database sinse these days I have less gaming time
over all (sinse I am obviously spending lots of time with the very soon to
be Mrs. Dark). 

I'm actually progressing hugely well in the game and surprisingly quickly,
indeed I don't think it's going to take too long for me to get back where I
was, and without! so much agro. 

The reason for this is one word: quests! 

I am absolutely loving all the different quests in the game, accomplishing
various tasks, feeling like I'm actually contributing to a story rather than
just wandering around and seeing numbers get larger and larger. Indeed, I've
never had to grind yet, ie, just seak out and kill mobs for xp without any
other goal in mind (though i do take time to practice some of my less used
skills and spells). And despite that I'm levelling very rapidly, indeed so
rapidly I've tried to level my lower classes so as not to get hit by the xp
reduction before I run out of quests, though this doesn't matter too much
sinse generally i enjoy doine quests simply in and of themselves, indeed I
appreciate that Altereon unlike some games (I'm looking at you
Materiamagica), doesn't say "woopse! your too high level and can't do that
quest now" 

The one thing I have found a bit of a problem though, is sometimes finding
where the quests are. Obviously when your pointed to a quest by a particular
npc like the hierophant in the holy grove that's one thing, however when the
quest is just in the list it isn't always clear where to go to get it
started or how to begin, eg, I had no idea the "ring of the gate keeper"
quest was in the old imp mines without bothering people on the newbie
channel, though i was very glad to get that quest (I really enjoyed the
descriptions and atmosphere for that one, particularly sinse it was a maze
area without combat).

The "Quests Nearby" command is pretty good when your entering new areas, and
to check you've got all the quests in a particular area, however it doesn't
help when you look on the "quests kordan" or "Quests slo" lists. 

I was therefore wondering if either the the areas you started a quest could
be included when looking at a quests list, eg "Won the silver ring of the
gate keeper, the old imp mines" or if there could be an expantion of the
"quests kordan" command with "quests kordan area" to show a list of what
quests occurred where on the island. 

It'd also be nice if quests I'd already completed could be removed from the
list, or listed towards the bottom just so that I no longer 

Re: [Audyssey] Alteraeon stuck

[Paul Weston]

Hi,

When you restart a char on Alter you keep all the equipment you have and get
back any practices that you paid money for so you do not lose out at all.

All the best, hope to see you on Alter soon... I am currently playing Wango
a level 23 Druid and Asclepius a level 37 Cleric Necro.

Cheers
Paul

Hi. 

I've not played alter for a very long time, and I realize the reason why.
there was a massive shift a while ago and lots of changes, like the altering
of clerrics from wisdom to charisma, and I never got around to restarting
Thelok or deciding where exactly I was, indeed I've not played for so long I
do feel I ought to restart things (I was level 26 after all and I know Slo
and Kordon have changed sinse I went through them). 

I do wonder though, rather than just letting thelok sit there with no
bennifits, is there a way to reclaime something if I restarted the
character? 

Could I for example get back the practices and weightless bag I bought for
thelok and use them on a new character, or maybe even convert thelok into xp
I could use later. 

i just realized this morning when thinking about muds that this has got me
out of the way of playing alter and I've missed out for rather too long,
which is a shame, so it's time for a new start, but if that new start could
get something from what I spent previously that would be helpful. 

If not, fare enough I'll just start a new char and go on from there. 

All the best, 

Dark.
