Yeah I'll be banning in Acheron's for racism. Admins bitching about Caps is the stupidest thing ever though.

It's not just plain caps.

IF SOMEONE SENDS MESSAGES ENTIRELY LIKE THIS FOR NO REASON THEN IT'S RATHER ANNOYING, THOUGH.

I think the general leeway is that all caps words don't outnumber regular ones in a single message.

Admins bitching about Caps is the stupidest thing ever though. I HATE going into a game and after some amount conversation and time say one line of text with something like "OMG DUDE NO WAY!" using my capitalization to showcase an exclamatory comment. Then having some full of himself GM say "hey hey hey hey no caps bub" god that pisses me off. I generally end up banned from such games for giving a GM "attitude" :P

The only person I still have a problem with is Jermman.

Lol, same here. FFTHG for example.

Unless you ARE yelling at someone.

After killing you, did they dance around a fire and celebrate their victory over the game maker? Anywho, hopefully testing proves to be succesful, and provides us of a near-future release date. To comment on your Zelda post Silk, I enjoyed Wind Waker. People spoke harshly of it for it's childish graphics, but I thought it was different, and loved the large map.

I don't know about you, but I think it's a lot more difficult to not breathe than to not use racial slurs.

The capital letters thing is dumb, though. If someone simply can't turn caps lock off, then that's annoying, but a few lines of caps is fine.

What's that snake on the bottom for?

Its our eyes. You are always being watched. Mhuhahahaha.

Actually...I think its just for looks. :)

Which one dealt the final blow, Lufia or Cable Monkey?

I'm not even sure. Lufia was blasting him with magic, and I was attacking him with melee attacks like mad.

All this AA talk keeps wetting my panties.

I need many new panties. :(


Edit: Dueling kills you!? :o

Was that like "duel me to the death you bastard! /slap" or "average duel for fun"?

The snake should have some function. Perhaps as an experience bar. He will go from grey to green starting from the tail as experience is increased... Yeah, that would be boss.

Heh... I'm partially colorblind, so I would probably have trouble noticing something like that. I especially have problems with green and brown.

Right now there isn't any way to just "duel" someone without dying. I'm assuming that you're referring to a system like dueling in WoW. I might add a feature like that later.

And yeah, the snake is just for decoration. There is an experience bar, but it is in the Status HUD: http://silkgames.com/acheron/images/screenshots/mastery/ aa_stat_pent.png

Thats the 2nd one I've heard of :O

There was a white dude in my class who kept yelling Black Power, so we all thought he was colorblind.

I have found that not having some visual feed back on experience at all times can be annoying. Granted, it is not as rapidly changing as HP and Mana, but it is very important and something most people like to see constantly. In WoW I have a mod that puts my experience bar right under HP and MP, which is a good place for a quick glance.

In your case, however, you are very limited on screenspace. Using the snake as more than decoration would be a simple but effective way of maximizing screenspace and giving the player more feedback.

I do realize this creates challenges with such a large statbar, the fact that the snake disappears behind some other HUD objects is another issue. I just thought it would be an interesting and unique way of showing experience.

Cable: The colors would have to be balanced and be different shades, for just such an situation. That reminds me of when my colorblind friend was playing Deus Ex online. He was shooting everyone and I kept telling him "No, you are red, shoot the blue dudes". I probably told him 4 times before he yelled "I'M COLOR BLIND YOU IDIOT". Good times, Good times.

Yeah that is a good point. If people end up wanting a display for experience on the main hud, I could put a very slim bar right below the existing HP/MP bars... or just turn the snake into a large bar as you suggest.

I guess that we'll find out what people want once this goes public!
