Saddening, I for the most part usually play solo on muds. I generally don't 
like to party with people, both because of the spam and because generally 
for some reason the xp is split between party members rather than either 
leaving it the same or doubling it as a form of party encouragement. I also 
don't like to just sit there while someone drags me around through really 
tough areas that I can't even hit anything in, my thought is usually if I 
can't take the monster solo, its probably not much worth beating anyway. 
Just my opinion though. Having said all that I'm not adverse to taking a 
little help here and there, but I know I've definitely come off a lot more 
knowledgeable in the process for doing my own exploration, killing and 
sometimes questing and collecting rather than asking people to help me do 
it, no offense intended to anyone here. Its just the way I play games.


As for darks assessment, I'm kind of of the same opinions. The newbie area 
seems to be oddly tough, especially if you're a new mudder, and you can miss 
a lot with the level 10 limit imposed. The first time through I wouldn't 
have even completed the trial if not for a bit of luck towards the end, and 
then I missed the third quest, the mark of wisdom. I've also never been a 
fan of overland wilderness, especially not lazy wildernesses that use ascii 
maps rather than dynamic text descriptions and directions to tell you where 
you're going, aka discworld, conquest, project bob. Once again, just my 
opinion. I'd like to think I gave the game its fair due, played for a couple 
days and granted I didn't get much past the newbie phase but if the quests 
stay that hard and hintless throughout the entire game, as much as I like 
questing odds are it won't be my thing. I prefer to have quests almost 
spoiled for me rather than play through the type of quests that barely even 
tell you what they need, much less give you a hint on where to find it and 
such, aka uossmud, new moon. This is all just my opinion though, I tend to 
lose interest in muds rapidly, the longest I've ever stuck with a mud was a 
year or so, and that was back when I used to play alter aeon, before 
everyone went insane and I realized just how stock the game really is.

To be honest my previous post was more in the matter of frustration than an 
actual assessment, sinse I'm royally irritated that just as I've spent 18 
hours on the game and finally think I'm working things out, I'm booted 
streight out of the newby area without being able to finish the quests I 
started. and now I'll have to spend another 18 hours or so playing with 
either this character restarted, or a new one in order to finish them,   
pluss it seems I'll need to be dam careful what I do and do not kill in the 
village so as not to go over my xp limit.


I never even got to looking at the mark of wisdom beyond finding the statue 
eyes from fighting pixies.


I don't yet know about party play in these sorts of games. I'm personally 
more a questing fiend, but I could see formations being a fun so long as the 
group size was small enough and it didn't just become a crowd.


As to the exploration side, I'm a fan of exploration in games,   
especially large areas, and the wilderness in Mm reminded me heavily of 
fallthru,  it had that open ended feel.


What slightly narks me is that you can be standing slap bang next to 
something, or on a road, and have no indication of where it was at all.


for instance, when wandering around the lake searching for that fairy dust, 
I had to physically start at the north side, move east, and keep trying to 
go south to insure that I was stil skirting the edge of the lake, -  
ditto with trying to actually follow a road.


Would it really kill the game's admins to insert the words there is a 
lake/road/forest to the n/e/ etc in descriptions?


I think I might give the game one more go and see how i do with completing 
the newby area quests once again if I can, pluss choosing to start with 
different skills leveled up, sinse this is also my first mud experience.

Re: [Audyssey] exploration trouble mm

2009-05-19 Thread Shadow Dragon
Like I said, its not the wilderness that's my problem, it's the way the 
wilderness was done. Text descriptions of roads, plains and such rather than 
a dynamically changing ascii map is much better for an overland wilderness 
in my opinion. I two am a questing fiend, but I prefer to actually know what 
I'm doing in my quests, not be told to go retrieve the seven shards of an 
ancient sword, and that they're scattered around the world, but get 
absolutely no hints on where even one of said shards can be found, or how to 
reassemble them when you've found them. This is just an example, not an 
actual quest in MM, but its saddening how many muds have quests like this. I 
never could figure out how people, erm, figured them out. Its definitely not 
one of the worst muds out there, its got some interesting features, both 
that I've seen in action and heard of. But I can't in all honesty say its 
one of the best either. I pretty much agree with everything you said in your 
reply though. If you're a questing fiend you might wish to check out Asylum 
or New Moon, both are very, very difficult muds, though asylum is quite 
newbie friendly, and asylum especially, is quest based. The entire mud 
revolves around a quest list and you actually can advance quicker by 
questing instead of grinding if you have done a fair amount of quests. As 
for partying, asylum's got a couple of quests that are actually made for 
groups. But on most muds, its just as you said, the party turns pretty much 
into a crowd. That and parties rarely stop and explore or do much in the way 
of questing, usually people party up so have a big leader guy drag them 
through tough areas for a lot of XP, or just for someone to hang out with to 
break up the tedium of the grind. Anyway I'm not trying to sway you to my 
way of thinking, just stating my opinions mostly. Perhaps you'll find more 
enjoyment in MM than I ever could.

[Audyssey] exploration trouble mm

2009-05-18 Thread dark
Hi. 

I must admit, the exploration of materia magica is starting to mildly irritate 
me. 

Asking on the clan channel, I was told to go around the lake looking for pixi 
dust. 

Unfortunately, sinse the room descriptions don't say where the lake is, this 
meant walking around, trying to move in one direction and being told I 
couldn't,  which was the only way I could find the lake. 

Eventually I found said pixi dust, and entered the lake, but despite having the 
magic inhailer allowing me to breeth underwater, couldn't enter it, and was 
told to search for a specific location. 

I found some deep water, so searched there,  but couldn't find what I was 
looking for, and my levitation quickly ran out leaving me stranded. 

I also cannot find this blasted dragon anywhere! 

I'm now at a stage where I'm afraid to fight anything else sinse I'm already 
level 9, and would like to complete the lasler quests before they kick me out 
of the village, - but I find the navigation a right pest,  partly due 
to the fact that roads, lakes and other such important features are only shown 
on the graphical maps (walking the highroad was also a pest, sinse I kept 
having to guess which way it ran).

Any advice would distinctly be appreciated.

Yeah, the wilderness seems to be markedly similar to medievia. I've been 
looking for the crab as well, though I have my doubts that any one newbie 
can beat it, since people seem to fight it in groups. I'm uncertain though. 
Unless there's a way to change the wilderness from ascii to text I'd say 
we're pretty well screwed finding the crab without exact directions or an 
impossible amount of luck.

Oh sorry, meant to put that in my last message. To get to the dragon, you 
have to get through part of the enchanted forest. You have to have two of 
the three leaves on you already or the dryad won't let you through. The 
forest is a tiny bit mazelike, but nothing too bad. Just walk through the 
burnt section of forest till you find a west exit that leads to a mountain 
pass, climb the mountain, and there will be the dragon. A word of warning 
though, he's all but impossible to kill, since he can one shot you with a 
single attack. Luckily he misses a lot, but it pretty much means get in, 
grab what you can and run if he's awake, and sneak past if he's sleeping.


As for the lake, yeah, I found at least one of the lakes, though its called 
lake often, and according to the gypsy I think the one we're looking for is 
lkae grand. Haven't found that one yet. Hopefully I can find the crab before 
I hit level 10 again, wouldn't want to restart a third time, especially 
since I found a quest this time I didn't even really have a chance to do or 
learn about last time.

Well, I found the burnt forest,  though not the dragon, then was 
attacked by an imp and forced into level 10, at which point I was prompty 
kicked out of Lasler.


i'm not too happy about this actually, as I'd much rather have completed 
those quests first.


I'm tempted to restart,  but it seems like too much hard work, pluss, 
i'm not sure if those quests are actually completable by a character who's 
not higher level (the dryad in the caverns certainly killed me when i was 
level 7).


To be perfectly honest, I'm not impressed at their starting setup, nor their 
wilderness business thus far.

Yeah, the wilderness seems to be markedly similar to medievia. I've been 
looking for the crab as well, though I have my doubts that any one 
newbie can beat it, since people seem to fight it in groups. I'm 
uncertain though. Unless there's a way to change the wilderness from 
ascii to text I'd say we're pretty well screwed finding the crab without 
exact directions or an impossible amount of luck.

Hi.

I must admit, the exploration of materia magica is starting to mildly 
irritate me.


Asking on the clan channel, I was told to go around the lake looking 
for pixi dust.


Unfortunately, sinse the room descriptions don't say where the lake is, 
this meant walking around, trying to move in one direction and being 
told I couldn't,  which was the only way I could find the lake.


Eventually I found said pixi dust, and entered the lake, but despite 
having the magic inhailer allowing me to breeth underwater, couldn't 
enter it, and was told to search for a specific location.


I found some deep water, so searched there,  but couldn't find what 
I was looking for, and my levitation quickly ran out leaving me 
stranded.


I also cannot find this blasted dragon anywhere!

I'm now at a stage where I'm afraid to fight anything else sinse I'm 
already level 9, and would like to complete the lasler quests before 
they kick me out of the village, - but I find the navigation a 
right pest,  partly due to the fact that roads, lakes and other 
such important features are only shown on the graphical maps (walking 
the highroad was also a pest, sinse I kept having to guess which way it 
ran).


Any advice would distinctly be appreciated.

Beware the grue!

Dark.

as for the monster in the lake, yes you need a form to beat that one. It is 
a way to introduce you to group combat since many runs in the game require 
cooperation of a team.

Re: [Audyssey] exploration trouble mm

2009-05-18 Thread Kellie and my lovable Lady J.
have you tried using the survey command to help get an idea of where things 
are? with most things, you can get an idea of where they are located. there 
are some later in the game which ou have to use sextent points but most are 
surveyable.  In the beginning it can be daunting. It may take patients. I 
had ppl help me a lot. I explained that I was blind and coulnd't use the 
graphical maps and that helped. I actually can use the ascii maps a bit. I 
have figured out what symbol is me and what some of the other symbols mean.
