#1: black dye tubs. what happened to these? i was told that pure black dye tubs were removed from the game and the only way to get pure black cloth items are from mobs. these used to be a veteran reward on shards....

#2: what happened the ability to buy horses from the stable vendors? most of the time the only friend i have on the shard is a pet. i cant even buy a cat anymore.....or a cheap-o horse.....or a pack horse to lug my minerals around.

#3: banker NPC's are deaf compared to most shards. a little boost in hearing range (give them the sonic ear!) would be nice so we can access our bank boxes from a little further away. i know this is not really a super suggestion but i find it troublesome having to run all the way around the bank to get within the short hearing range of the banker (i.e. brit bank traveling from the graveyard, most of the time you cant get into the box without going to the south side of the bank.)

#4: bank box weight limit seems very low. people like me are poor and are not able to buy a house. even so, i really dont have a lot of things in my bank but its full! most shards ive played on have 3x the limit that we have here.

#5: tamers....and tamables. having a tamer is nice....i can get free horses....and maybe make a little cash. but ive also seen tamers able to tame drakes and wyrms to pvp with. i know that a lot of people who play here are going to start a big argument on how tamers on other shards are gay....etc etc etc. but if a person can tame, why cant they use their beasts to fight? bears just dont cut it...

#6: stabling and bonding. this would fall in with pvp tamers....and i could see how this would hurt the tamer economy....im sure there will be opposition towards pet bonding. if your ride doesnt crash and burn....how can the tamers make money selling more animals.

ok the pills are knocking me out ill have to revise this later. goodnght

I'm newbie again, please be gentle:(

This shard isn't like most shards...that's why it's obsidian, quit saying "other shards have this". Quit giving them more shit to do, it's not like being in beta for one year is a good thing, hopefully by the time we release everything should be working seeing as how they've had this long to fix it...

1) black tubs...on OSI (which I assume your referring to) they were GM made and shard initinalation only rares. They became common as hell when the major dupe bug back in 1999 trashed everything, and they were put in as a vet reward in 2002(?). Everyone had one anyway, might as well give the honest players a way to get one. They were rare from the start because pure black items look like crap in a sprite world filled with earth tones. You can get pure black items on obsidian, but I'd rather not see a dye tub for general use.

2) Pack critters were removed because of their ability to store nukes and detonate them at the bank. I think there were other reasons, but this one was the one I miss most. If that bug is fixed, I'd like to see some pack horse and llamas around again. As for other pets, you need a tamer and some gold.

3) I like the banker range. And once we get back up to speed, we will (hopefully) have the ability to purchase ATMs from GMs, or as a craftable would be really cool.

4) BB does not want players hording shitloads of stuff. This has been brought up before, along with house item limits. It gets shot down every time. We should be thankfull it's as high as it is, because I think BB wanted it less.

5) NO. I was a tamer on OSI....so was everyone else. It was great. I could kill anything with minimal effort..so could everyone else.....bandages cost 100gp each.....

6 Once the taming system is redone some things might be added back to the game, like stables and stablemasters. I hope we never have bonded pets or pack instinct or any of the other filler OSI added to keep what they had of their decaying player base.

1. There are two pure-black dye tubs. There are 5 other "rare" color dye tubs currently in existence. Other rare dye tubs usually are created for special events, such as a huge quest, as the rare item in a yearly auction, or other such events. As such they tend to stay rare. Obsidian will never be a "all colors of the rainbow" shard

2. Will be put under consideration, discuss guys.

3. Bankers are designed to be deaf so people don't spam the whole freaking area the minute they walk in. Also atms are the worst idea ever and will probably never be offered again, for balance reasons. If we wanted bank accessible from house, we'd have put it into the house sign.

4. The bank limit is actually mroe than plenty if you don't hoarde stuff like minerals. At which point you should have a hosue anyway. The bank is for ultrasecure items you don't want stolen. Also you can still fit a ton of ingots in a bank box, for those saying newer crafters have uses for them.

5. There are plenty of tamable monsters, and more might be added in a future. Tamers are never going to get a pvp level monster that can work on it's own. HOWEVER battle tamers have existed before on this shard, and requires use of multiple tamed npcs, but can be effective. In fact a battle tamer won two pyramid battles in a row, for those who remember those.

6. This is up to broadband. We'll see. Also there's already a simliarly type patch for different thigns comming in, so it might impact the balance of that if we added stabling in.

well you will never have a char here that can own everything with minamal effort....and i dont think you should either...i would be bored hopeless if that was the case in like 1 week.and quit shard..cuz everything was toooo easy.

I'd like to see pack animals in, but people don't use them all the time, and there's no stables.

I
ll just throw out a few thing...

if they were rideable when empty, and we could log out with them on our character, that might work....

or if there was a craftable pack that can be applied (and removed) to any rideable critter...that might work too

Pack animals would be ok, i have never liked the ride vendor thing tho. Takes alot of money from tamers you might as well have blacksmith shops selling verite, valorite, aga sets etc..

ya ya agree with belg, i love deh pack idea, horse selling out vender like it used to do from venderlodge is ghey!

well apoc, when other people make accounts here they are either new or from "another shard". no matter what there is always something that they are going to miss from them. i could have made a whole list of garbage like "can we have faster casting gear?" or "where is this and that". i could have asked about a lot gayer things than what is in that list.

since i can make a fisherman that looks like a pimp with bright purple and green garments....why cant people wear all black? its not important.

as for the pack animals....some people this morning had concerns about the pack beetle. it would be another income base for tamers....and would be useful if said bug was fixed (lol....it sounds funny though).

as for the banker range....i didnt mean they need to hear a mile away. i only meant maybe a 1-2 tile boost so people dont have to stand right beside the wall. their range right now isnt that bad, if it isnt taken into consideration.....its tolerable.

as for the tamers....i would not want it like OSI where theyd run around with a pack of ice wyrms and sit in guard zones. but as it is right now....what about the cold turkeys and ice walls in town hmmm? people think thats pretty funny at the moment.
but there needs to be no discussion of it anymore.

i like pack animals!

and bring ridable beetles to obsidian! lmao

The day i see a rideable beetle in obsidian is the day I stop playing forever.

Bring back war horses if we have to have something new. Or give us nightmares that are the same skills and stats as a mustang.

awwww whats wrong with beetles? seriously! they are one of the more useful mounts created for the game, especially for hunters who want to lug more than what they can carry alone. im sure none of the pk's would mind that neither.....nothing like find a pack beetle full of gold and super weapons.
also you dont have to walk then wait 6 hours for your pack horse/llama to catch up to you. i dont see any downside at all to having BB's on obsidian other than someone who doesnt give an explanation to his haterade addiction:P

lolz same,
its kinda unrealistic, but so is magery,, so w,e
its better then having the same 8 colored rides, and a oytra

beetles should also be rarer and you can kill them and cut there horns off,, maybe for better weps in the future or something?
or to make trapped / poisoned pots,,, so lets say u die you have 3 sets of heal pots,, on you, which ones are OK to drink,, you only know...
if u click the wrong set of pots it explodes OR poisons you instead of healing....

If we wanted all this crap from OSI we would go play that, Obsidian has always been unique that is what makes it what it is. I would say if you are going to add new rides then add new custom obsidan rides and forget beetles and bears and shit like that.

ridable polar bears FTW!~!!
