there’s also places where a /look hints at secret hidden entrances and fake walls and shit like that. For example there’s a fake wall in fallen watch you’d never know until you realize there’s a weird plank kind of directed toward it for no apparent reason and you do a /look.

Now are there autists out there who will make macros to spam /look and /take scrap and /take object together and then mouse macro them to hit constantly to maximize efficiency. But the goal of the idea is to have people see something that seems like a point of interest, and get rewarded by having that confirmed by something interesting in /look that they may be able to engage with further

This is such a bizarre take. You think it's immersive to write "/look" as opposed to actually...using your own eyes to look at things? Instead of using your own senses, you think typing out a command is somehow more rewarding.

And you say you're not the autist here.

The brim of my wizard hat obscures my vision when I try to actually look, but I can see the MUD window perfectly. The rustling of my robes, as I furiously type various commands trying to unlock the secrets of this epic quest, reminds me that I need to /tell that wood elf maiden from my last group and see if she needs me to send her any more silver.

You wouldn't understand that kind of immersion

The zones need to be smaller.. I do not know how to “fix” that… other than…perhaps just increase everything’s movement by 10-15% - but then it would all look silly like EQ2 benny hill.

because I doubt they will make anything physically smaller.

like shaded dunes, from the waterfall to FW can just be removed completely.

If you think Shaded Dunes is too big then you should try running across Glass Flats.

To be fair , you might have missed it because I wrote several posts. But a lot of the /look messages are things you do because you do see something in the environment that triggers you to try it. Sometimes it doesn’t return anything . But when you see something that seems curious, and when you do /look you get some new details or something further you can interact with, i find that rewarding. But it starts with you noticing things in the environment around you.

I wouldn’t disagree with the argument i have a touch of ‘tism. But not my point here

VoZ is the one that’s gotten on my nerves since the first time I set foot in it. Didn’t have see invis on my monk and got jumped 1000 times by those spiders that instant poison. Was triggering as fuck.

I see where you think the system is cool and I will also concede you’ve probably run into more interesting instances of it than the average player, but I still feel like there just has to be a BETTER way to implement that style of discovery in a 3D world.

Hell I feel like right clicking an object and getting the same feedback as /look already sounds better.

“you feel a sudden breeze as if there is a gust…” revealing a hidden wall should not require /look it should just auto-trigger when you walk by for example.

They need small hubs out in the world that offer some kind of vendor banking on a small scale.

Went in completely blind after EQL petered out for me.
Rolled Ogre Shaman on Tilustra (didn't know where all the forum bros were rolling).
Solo the entire time. The grind to 8 was not awesome but after discovering the mines in the UD rafters, and a dwarf up top that gives silver plus rawhide armor for 4 mining picks, I began to enjoy it more.
8 is the magic level for Shaman: SoW, Haste, Hp regen, HoT...
Other than the game being filled with friction for friction's sake, I'm having a fine time with it.
Infravision does very little in UD.
Ogre base run speed feels like dog vomit.
A single backpack slot and 3 bag slots is ehhhh.
De-leveling and corpse runs are still uber gay.
Yet...I am compelled to continue playing.

Shit yeah! Much appreciated! I've been living like a caveman the last couple days because of Isaias, but I'll hit you up when I'm back up and running.

Is there continuation of the UD SK quest sword beyond the 3rd rank? If you did that… just wondering what the next level requirement is

I tried every combination I could think of as a 23 SK with Father Fyod, Lady Tabitha and the skill trainers. No luck, skill trainer guy just tells me "Leave." after the Chosen Initiate's tier. Went and bought a Steel Greatsword from the <Loot> mafia in NH west.

Gonna keep trying every few levels nonetheless. I was hoping it'd be a long-term grow-with-your-character type deal.

Sad! I was also hoping that there was a chain to 60… I am sure “someday” it will be.

Thanks for the info.

The Soulbrand I hope gets on the trade scene soon… yes the mob is high 45.. but the sword by then is not that great, no stats.. etc… but great ratio. In beta someone just gave me one lol.

I believe the steel great scythe is the best ratio then greatsword… I have seen those guys selling prices seem to vary on server 1g - 70s..

With nothing after chosen initiate level 3… may as well get a steel for a while once I save up my schkels

Funny thought... Walking into the office today really wishing I could be playing instead. Spending my day at work thinking about what I'll do next. I'm only level 14 as life has been a little crazy, but since I'm necro I don't mind it. Also all the zones are starting to feel normal population wise finally.

But the funny thing is I haven't felt this way about an MMO since I was severely addicted to FFXI in my early 20s. Just consuming my thoughts again.

McCheese McCheese I saw you like this. All my friends were asking if the elite pet battler mccheese was playing this. They still remember you haha.
