Yesterday was my first day at a new internship. I was so overwhelmed that I spent the last two hours just opening random source code files on one of the virtual machines and pretending to read them. Then, I came home and realized that I really have …

I think he was talking about requests Astrologers get over GT / CT to put spheres up on hunters before they go out bashing. When the numbers are in bad places, even a small hunting party can drop an astrologer into yellow.

If this change goes through as written, you will also need to delete aeon-style affs (sap, etc) and any skill that revolves around sticking them. Aeon allows afflictions to stack way too easily to allow some of those higher level combos -- presently…

Well, assuming one of the two simple options you listed, the programmer in me says it's better to optimize for the common case rather than the exceedingly rare one.
Additionally, having individual tracking on a downed shield shouldn't a… -
It seems like one of the intended effects of this new system is to create a number of clearly defined affliction pathways shared across classes that lead to viable kills. That itself seems like a noble goal; the problem arises in the fact that most…

(Quote) But it's not a problem with how the city handles it. Their method of handling it is actually more reasonable than the other cities I've made alts in, where it's generally a free-for-all and you can regularly do 9/10ths of … -
Unless I'm mistaken, the only people who are showing interest are saying the idea is salvageable, but the current proposed implementation is still highly problematic. This is actually one of very few times in the history of Luster…

Please, please, please instance the iterative aspect of the city epic quests. Make it track that I have 4 of the beacons lit/generators powered/taint things tainted, while Alacardael has 6, and Laxinova has 8. This would fix the current problem of o…

I find this very interesting given your role in-game and the situation I was presented with recently. The week I re-joined the Hartstone recently was my finals week, so I was on Lusternia 12+ hours a day. It still took me … -
(Quote) Already spoke with my envoy, and her opinion was that it doesn't matter. I'd really love it if another person would take it up, since it's really way worse than the other item skills right now.

If you want further justification for why they're no-decay, remember that they have to be made one mote at a time. If someone submitted that report above and they also got decay outside of their rift, I'd still be very happy. But this morning I spen…

Quality of life changes for dreamweaving mote crafting
Problem:
The mechanic for crafting dreamweaving motes has significant issues compared to other skills which consume items on use. A dreamweaver can easily go throug… -
Hah, I did the same thing in a relational db just last week. Rather than doing it through mudlet, I used an external script connecting to api.lusternia.com to fetch and decode the news posts, then insert them into my db. Still took hours to complete…

(Quote) Don't let him spoil the game for you. Every community has its bitter veterans and its obnoxious griefers, but of all the Iron Realms MUDs I've played, Lusternia generally has the least tolerance for such people.
Now,… -
Arsalil and I have both been having the same problem; I thought it was just my internet at first, but further testing has shown it to be Mudlet-specific as well.
-
Wait, out of curiosity... I suspect other IREs have already moved to a DB-driven system, or done a very good job faking it. Is there any chance your AB code and theirs is still similar enough that you could take one of their solutions and patch it …
-
Yeah, I always assumed it was database driven. If it isn't, then it should probably be moved to that even if you disagree on the issue of visibility... Though you feel any individual one of the changes you mentioned doesn't justify the effort to com…

(Quote) At least personally, I despise MXP and keep it disabled on general principle. I know at least a good portion of the other people I've asked about it feel the same way, and still others use clients that do not support it. In thi…

That's why I said it would be okay keep the tutor NPCs in for those people who just want to get it done; they can still get the flavor messages, and can learn more rapidly through some of the other changes suggested in the… -
(Quote) Yes, this. All of this information is already available across the internet, so there's really very little reason not to let everyone do AB [any skill] FULL to see all the abilities color coded by whether or not they've been acq…

Maybe they still spore for pleasure. What kind of draconian world is this, where sporing can only be done for the purpose of making babies!
(I feel like there's a joke about Wyrdenwoods sequestered in manses and shooting blanks somewhere … -
Ah yes, the friendly fire toad stomp. Many a Serenwilde raid have been lost to an overeager lowbie with a trigger to stomp indiscriminately on the toadcurse message. Can't say I blame you, though really you should write it to be more exact in the fu…

Interesting... I added the Serenwilde orgbix using a copypaste of the code from the fingerblade (which is how I assume the belt was done too), and GOTO 18730 works fine for me once I mconfig the flame on.
-
For that, I imagine you'd do GOTO 19627, since it looks like the script says that's the number of your orgbix room.
-
I get that same error with the latest version of the mapper script that I downloaded whenever I try to do any type of mapping. I tried looking at the code, but I can't tell what its even supposed to be referencing, since there isn't anything environ…
-
I really have no right to be complaining about this, but I got scheduled for a second round job interview.... and they asked to see a code sample from a project that showcases my proficiency in databases, algorithms, and interface design. I have no …
-
Agreed. I thought my system was actually well coded, but it turns out I'd just optimized it for healing and now I fall over like a paper doll again.
-
Now I am tempted to post the annotated version with commentary by the Zayah clan. Some of the riffs we went off on brought me to legitimate giggling behind my keyboard.

(Quote) Fair enough, though each ship tends to stay in approximately the same area, so just knowing the general direction might be less useful for someone who has already learned that information.
The main reason I would get … -
I would just rather live in a world filled with wonder and surprise than a world with restraining rules! >:[
Also, I saw it once then promptly ignored it on every subsequent page load.
