  1. No you won't. This is not an excuse for you to buy another graphics card, yet Normal and bump maps should hardly, if even at all, affect your performance. Some types of mapping can affect it (like parallax) but those two are very friendly for your computer. Specular mapping is also not bad. they are just extra texture to load is all, and just like regular textures I assume they will be put under an LOD slider so you can adjust what works for you.
  2. Sliced pizza? Now that is just an outrageous thing to ask for. Who on earth would do that. +1
  3. GM involvement has been known to happen whenever possible, the rule is there to cover cases where a solution cannot be determined. We had GMs also involved in the Niru case a while back, even though selling items for real life money is clearly stated to be at your own risk. For the case of the account(s?) that got banned after using peoples trust to get into their deeds and pickup items to sell lateron. Sometimes it's obvious who did what and they knew they weren't supposed that a ruling is easily made. Sometimes it's much more complex and a case of he said, she said, then a ruling may simply not be possible. The problem is when you write into a rule that you will try to help whenever possible, people will get more and more reliant on the staff to help, even when the staff can not. This case also goes beyond stolen items from an account (which is a crappy thing to do, even if a password is shared with you). It goes to taking those items, then using unknowing third parties to flog them off, and then blaming other people for the theft of items. It affects more people than just the parties who had their stuff taken.
  4. Very nice, cant wait to see unicorns with rainbow glitter manes as a result of specular mapping and creature colours. Yes, do it! Maybe we could even put them in crates someday.
  5. Shouldn't be a problem if said mobs are easy to spot and easy to avoid. Maybe even docile. Mammoths pls
  6. Breeding animals at high skill should not be rolling a dice and hoping to hit the lucky number. it should be consistent - if 4 foals in a batch have LOST traits and gained random, bad traits, something's not working right.
  7. Yeah, I remember that. It would be nice if some simple merchandise was offered that is not the same old "coffeepress" tshirt with logo. Maybe something like Wurm online funko pops!
  8. +1, it's time to make these categories do more than just have a different label under your management options.
  9. Make sea serpents more common again and a couple of mobs like them.Easy to spot, easy to avoid, but challenging to kill.
  10. My guess is that this is a major part of the new GUI. I dont know, but they said a massive ramp of it was underway and this is what Im betting on, making it more intuitive and less clicky. Id like to see easier ways to interact with the horse as I sometimes play on a small, windowed screen. theres lots of stuff thats nearly impossible to do with it, but horse gearing is probably the worst.
  11. crossing servers - and with that I presume it means relogging - seems to have fixed to where I can now see the colour on the armour!
  12. bump, tried dyeing it, doesn't show the new dye either
  13. While most of the armours did update properly with the new dyeing system, my black scale set still shows as it's old colours (the metal parts look just as they always have.) Other black scale sets do show the dye properly so I believe this is an issue with just this particular armour set. [18:50:54] A heavy jacket made from dragon scales. Colors: R=10, G=10, B=10. The black dragon scale jacket needs some holes punched with an awl.
  14. suggested it a while back myself, will still +1 it today, although mine was harvesting fruit and crops from cart I'm guessing the two are tied together.
  15. Anyone remember the scene from 101 dalmations where all the dogs coming down the street look precisely like their owners? I love it! We can finally do this in wurm with our favorite horses.
  16. There's a couple bugged goals and it would be great if those were fixed. With that said we all know about this and it's ridiculous to accuse staff of playing favorites whatsoever. Some people are not in it to have fun and balance the game, they're only in it because someone else has something they do not. These are also the people that will write snarky forum threads and assume the world is against them because they lack the proper skills to just message a person and ask them stuff. Congrats on your win - the system is plenty transparent by announcing winners - AND their prizes.
  17. +1 for more variety to getting plastered
  18. Just do it, I mean just make one, its not like it is totally by complete random chance or whatever! seriously though fix the broken ones (defeat another player using an xxx, make wine etc) and get rid of the epic only and chance only ones (demigod, planeswalker and fantastic, supreme items). I don't care if it's really difficult to do, but it should be possible with effort. Plus if you have one to gather a certain set of tomes it shouldn't look for that title, it should just check if you have used those tomes at some point in the game.
  19. I was reading this thread and I stopped here is having fun in the game now a bad thing? Why are you dismissing the fact that many people on freedom do not run around in full scale with rare addy weapons, but that there are also newer players wearing chain or studded, and they actually really benefit from having wounds healed quickly mid combat? I used to use LoF in pvp when I was Fo before they added player gods and it was never really a game breaker. It occasionally helped to get someone out of a sticky situation but hardly any Fo priests were in pvp at the time because quite frankly, fo sucks for most other things. It's only when we got playergods with numerous other useful spells that it became a problem - I don't think it's the spell itself that needs adressing. It's probably too late to adres playergods but there is always the interesting option of making a lot of these issues in pvp only nerfed or buffed when you get the message that you feel something (enemies) in local. Whatever nerf you ask for, make sure you specify for it to be on whatever pvp server you play on though. Im still dealing with hellhorses unhitching from carts because someone got their panties in a twist about champ troll carts, and generally, animals untaming very quickly and being utter useless as companions. Get someone with a frostbrand axe, get someone with a flaming aura copper maul. Two hits, 5 seperate wounds. Fix the offhand swing time being 7 times slower and you could it alone by dual wielding. I imagine it could be quite interesting if you think out of the box and may actually encourage the use of various weapons and metals.
  20. +1 and +1 to hauling in occasional junk, including the elusive kelp, random adventurer hats and leather boots, and other stuff from the deep. Maybe pearls.
  21. I think the animation is ridiculous, Id love to turn it off
