drago

i wondered what that was! there was no notes on the wiki for it to check. well, seems turning off the GLSL does solve the problem then (though still kinda curious why it happened).

just thought i'd post an update. thought i'd try the advice from this thread: http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/85178-black-boxes-around-most-trees-and-small-plants/ It suggested disabling the GLSL so i did, which does solve this problem with the pretty tree problem...but then turn's spiders models to this: So, i can kinda stand fighting pulsating sacks that kinda remind me of tribbles but with scaley skin....but it'd be nice to have to have my cake and eat it too!!

Well decided to log on after a while and all tree models load with black square around the various images: After fiddling around with the settings for what the cause is i found it's the pretty tree models. even with the pretty tree models turned off however, shrubs and bushes still show up like that. Also tried deleting the graphics file and then reinstalling, did not work. Solution anybody?

....i think this is the only community i've known that's turned round after being told a truthful message in that regards and gone "ye sure" . gw2 forums were a mess at the slightest delay at launch, if only more gamers had patience!

bring back regional spawns!

neither do i, but the mines i posted were all from abandoned settlements/closed off mines. God knows how long some of those critters have been there taking up the creature count. I admit i find it fun to find them, but i find that many its not a wonder that some of the older server's have crap hunting except in select area's.

As the title says, i feel there is a need to address the creature population inside mine's. Just as an example, the following is an example of my attempt to cull the local population of creatures inside mines last night/today: [20:20:32] You enter the cave.

R.I.P. that was from a quick copy/paste from my event log (if anyone knows how to put the above log in a text wrap so it doesnt take up space please say so as i cant figure it out lol). I would also like to point out that the last three caves listed i mined into to check for critters. These mines were all located beetween Valley Of The Gods and Oakvale on the independance server, and the ones i opened up were within 30 tiles of each other. I feel that is i can find this many creatures inside mines then they must have a serious affect on the server's creature population and there needs to be controls in place to limit this from happening especially in abandoned mines with the mine entrance collapsed as one of the ones i opened up belonged to a player who i knew and has been gone for over a year and a half. my suggestion: limit the amount of time a creature can stay alive inside a mine, i would think 3 months would be an apropriate time period as this would still allow players to find creatures inside of mines but would not clog up the server's creature population to the extent it is currently.

took this one today

Haahahha...god. that would give me nightmares. ,.....when you stay up for over 24 hours to babysit a dragon incase it breaks out (almost burnt out my laptop >.>)

beleive me, the game at launch was far more hostile. critters nowadays make it easy to raise fight skill. I think its good theres some critters out there now that you actually need some skill to deal with that don't come labelled with 'champion'.

*Slaps* open beta weekend starts today at 8pm. already got my client loaded and waiting with a lift afterwork so i don't miss a minute 8) 8) who else is playing this weekend?

happy birthday! and remember, its not a birthday without cake! lots and lots of cake....*drools*...

Right...i know people have mentioned this sorta thing before but i think it just needs resaying that something needs to be done with this ability. i hate this skill currently so i figured i'd try and make a suggestion to make it bearable. currently it enchants a tile to to an enchanted version of the grass/tree tile types which then give food for your livestock to live off if grass and for tree's....becomes a royal flipping pain in the butt. Its impossible to remove in a reasonably easy way as you can't cut the blasted things down. Currently you either have to sit there spamming fire pillar or ice pillar to just try and get that lucky cast to remove it and then fix the ground around it afterwards, or plany a willow/oak and wait for it to grow up enough to kill the tree you planted (which is very time consuming). what i'm suggesting, is to give it a bit more functionality. ideally i'd like it to be under a nature sub option but i'll leave that alone for now and just get to the point. 'reclaim' my suggestion is to add this option as its counterpart with the same cooldown as the original enchant option (once every 21 hours) and to go along with the love path concept have a beneficial option to do with helping the player. my idea is: reclaim the effect to heal some minor wounds now i'd love to say heal your whole bar, but that'd obviously be a little too powerfull. I'd suggest around the 10-20 damage mark. alternatively, if 'reclaimed' it could simply half your healing timer for the next so many cycles so you heal twice as fast for a set amount of time (even perhaps just 10 minutes so you'd heal twice within that time frame and not the once). but regardless of the effect 'reclaim' has (or whatever name is deemed suitable) can i just say....please let there be a way to remove enchanted tiles (specifically tree's).... you have no idea how frustrating it can be to misfire with this skill, it just seems completly broken if theres no way to undo the damage from mis-firing the skill.

theres actually been a number of players saying they'd happily work on making GD into a better starter deed, and set it up for a central market area if they were allowed to. If thats something that the powers-that-be-aka-rolf would allow, then i'm sure there'd plenty who would volunteer (myself included, but probably not so much time wise as other players).
