I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

Ah, so young and not cynical, I remember those days.

I think its more they are just clearing out stuff that they keep fucking up when they change other things.  Their code is such a mess that one change has so many known and unrelated issues.  I think they are just taking the stuff that does not matter that much and reducing it down before they try to merge what is pretty much a whole new game and code.


Refactoring to remove unneeded and unused complexities from the engine prior to merging code bases.

Please, is that even a question.  No doubt it's a store item.  No f'n way they put this in the game as a standard item.  I'm so sure this is store only or some 'mistake', I'll let gawna peg me if I'm wrong.


But will you let her film it too?

I would almost believe they only use 1 variable in the entire source code and that is 'variable'.  I just don't understand how hand wraps & ladders could be related.  Even hand wraps and bags doesn't make sense.  It reminds me of the stupid Netflix commercials on the radio:  If 1 and 1 is sparkle, what do I have in my left pocket? A beaver and a wheat penny!

A little off topic......

*shakes head* Some idiot put the hands on the Rakshasa in the new splash screen/promo art on backwards, it seems like there is zero QA for this game on every level.  Cry

That's either an excellent attempt at trolling or you didn't read many D&D books as a kid. Cheesy

I know, right? You can't get those at the lowbie marketplace broker. They aren't worth enough.

Does Gawna know that a pegging is imminent?

Source says it's going to be a store item and possibly found in chests (like other store items) and is not in the current Lamma build.

Too bad about the store item status. Would have been a good option for last tier of The Twelve favor.

Ugh, I hope not, that's lame. Sigh.

Favour reward would have been a nice option.

Yeah.  I could see it as a 250 Twelve Favor sort of thing, considering they pulled our Huge Ingredients Bags.

That's a great idea.  But then, it would mean putting more thought into the favor system, so not very likely.

Update

...and for those of you who can't visit those other forums at work:

ZOMG!!!!

I'm so excited. I _think_ I'm the first to report on this. Actually this is going to be a report in progress. I will come back in a while and update this post with my findings on how it all worked out in quest. I'm going to try my best to test these components out in every way I can to see if there are any bugs. Since they are unbound I will test on both a Sorcerer and a Favored Soul.

But for now! Here it is.







Descriptions for both items look good. And they stack to 10,000! Yes I actually had 10,000 of them but cast jump so it used one up lol.

So far so good. Next step is destroying all my regular components and testing a few spells in the harbor.

As expected, the jump spell used the Omnispell dust and stoneskin used an Omnispell stone.

Now lets get some level 1 components and see what happens. First I placed the level 1 components before the dust and cast jump, and the spell consumed the level 1 component. Next I placed the level 1 component after the dust and cast jump and the spell consumed the dust. So far this is working as expected.

Here's a screenshot of the jump spell description. You can see that the description now says it can use both components.



No flaws found so far in testing the new components. I'm quite impressed with them other than I think the weight could come down (suggestions below).

If you have anything you want me to specifically test, just reply here and I'll check it out.

Q) Where can I get these?
You can't yet, they were given to me by a dev. They are not currently in game for purchase.

Q) Do you know where they will be purchasable from?
No, I just know at one point last week that I was told they would be available in the store and found in chests like other store items.

Q) Have you tested stoneskin, death pact and trap the soul?
I test stoneskin and death pact myself and they both used the Omnispell Stone. TheDearLeader tested out Trap The Soul and it does indeed replace the need for khyber dragonshards. Trap the Soul was tested on an 11-20HD mob and on a 21-30HD mob


My suggestions for the Omnispell Components
1) Omnispell components should have no weight at all
2) They should be store and vendor purchasable
3) They should be vendor purchasable at a low cost with 250 12 favor and be BTC
3) They should act like a plat sink if bought from regular vendors

Thanks to all the Dev's I've annoyed on Lamannia and the forums for the last week about this.
Special thanks to +kookiekobold for letting me test this out

...aaand a bit further down...

It uses the one first in inventory, this was detailed in my boobies with the jump spell

Not available for purchase yet. I got them from a dev to test them out. I've been asking about them to EVERYONE for a week now

Yes, but it's 10,000 of them. A more reasonable number would be 2500 to carry.

a hearty THANK YOU in advance.

1) Not available yet
2) I don't know sorry.


I was told previously that they would be available in the store, and would drop in chests like other store items do. But I was not able to stay online at that time to have a conversation about them so I do not know if they will be available from a vendor.

Edit - No flaws found so far in testing the new components. I'm quite impressed with them other than I think the weight could come down. Perhaps to 50% of what they currently are if they are vendor purchased. If they are store purchased only I would expect the weight to be 10% of what they currently are.
