Change how locate artifact locates pmk crowns

Recommended Posts

Currently when casting locate artifact there is a 50% chance to locate a pmk crown if it has no king or an artifact, if no pmk crown is on the ground/has no king it will always try to locate an artifact.

 

My suggestion is to make them 2 separate messages, On each cast 50% chance to show a missing crown locate and a 100% chance to show a random artifact locate so a PMK dropping a crown does not punish everyone else on the server by adding another 50/50 chance on top of the 1/12 chance every 30 mins you already have to get the artifact your hunting it's already frustrating enough without locating a crown 50% of the time on top of it.

 

 

Wurm University 'Memes and memeories' (0.34% land)

Ruler unknown.

[18:32:23] In your vision, you can only discern a shadow that carries the royal crown of Wurm University.(Message when Weya is offline holding the crown but not putting it on to become king).

[09:10:44] The royal crown of Wurm University is carried by Weya. Weya is in the settlement of Polytetrafluoroethylene. (Message when Weya is online and holding the crown but not putting it on to become king).

 

 

Rolls a random boolean every cast to see if it should locate a crown instead of an artifact. If it finds no crown it always default to an artifact currently.

                if (Server.rand.nextBoolean()) {
                    EndGameItems.missingCrowns.clear();
                    final Kingdom[] kingdoms = Kingdoms.getAllKingdoms();
                    for (int x = 0; x < kingdoms.length; ++x) {
                        if (kingdoms[x].isCustomKingdom() && kingdoms[x].existsHere()) {
                            final King k = King.getKing(kingdoms[x].getId());
                            if (k == null) {
                                EndGameItems.missingCrowns.add(kingdoms[x]);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    if (EndGameItems.missingCrowns.size() > 0) {
                        final int crownToLookFor = Server.rand.nextInt(EndGameItems.missingCrowns.size());
                        final Kingdom toLookFor = EndGameItems.missingCrowns.get(crownToLookFor);
                        final Item[] allItems;
                        final Item[] _items = allItems = Items.getAllItems();
                        for (final Item lItem : allItems) {
                            if (lItem.isRoyal() && lItem.getKingdom() == toLookFor.getId()) {
                                itemsearched = new EndGameItem(lItem, false, (short)122, false);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
                if (itemsearched == null) {
                    final int s = EndGameItems.artifacts.size();
                    if (s > 0) {
                        final int num = Server.rand.nextInt(s);
                        int x2 = 0;
                        final Iterator<EndGameItem> it = EndGameItems.artifacts.values().iterator();
                        while (it.hasNext()) {
                            itemsearched = it.next();
                            if (x2 == num) {
                                break;
                            }
                            ++x2;
                        }
                    }
                }

there is no logical reason to even locate a pmk crown so just remove locating it entirely?

 

if it drops off of a player at all it's a bug.  if it's on a player not used as a crown there is no benefit to locating it at all

Macedon was removed manually because its leadership didnt know how to disband a kingdom and a decision was made to have the kingdom disbanded because otherwise MR was king of 2 kingdoms.

HI there miss clueless, let me fill you in about mechanics, artifacts and crowns are on a special locate spell with a long arse timer and there is no guarantee that it will find the item you are looking for, infact its so random it could take days of casting to locate an item, a successful cast will give you a general direction to continue your search and more successful casts are sometimes needed to finally pinpoint a location to search in. 

 

There may be a crown on the ground is why this sudden request to make such a spell easier to cast, this is nothing more than another request for more shortcuts for pvp and no where the same as long timers for planting a catseyes or more efficient storage of bulk goods.

 

The mechanic is fine as it is and there is no reason to make it easier to find artifacts only because a certain kingdom does not wish to buy more accounts because they don't have enough priests to spam cast this locate spell.

It was no bug, they dumped there crown in the deepest part of the ocean as they sailed off the server.

Your trolling gets worse each time dude, except now it's gone beyond the joke you've become, anybody with such logic should be banned from suggestions, 100%

Somehow implies you should buy more priests to defeat bad code????

So you think whilst a PMK leaves the crown off, on top of the already random RNG there is of hitting the the 1 artifact you need it should automatically put it at 50% chance of you hitting the crown per 30 minutes instead 1 of the 6 artifacts??????

Despite the fact that this wouldn't normally be a problem because the crown should always be put in use, but now clearly it's a problem, it should remain, even tho this situation might not arise again?
this somehow makes casting locate artifact 99% of all other times easier? 

This actually makes sense to you? 

Can you do people who can play with logic and fairness in mind a big favor? Keep your twisted logic away from suggestions, dont want bad code to remain bad because you find yourself unaffected. Ty

Because you lack priests for casting locate spells is no fault of the code and if you had a more diverse kingdom you would have the priests to do it, but even with a few its not impossible to locate whatever it is you are looking for, you just don't want to be arsed doing all the casts, no fault but your own, I am sure you will bend retro's ear or smeagan and get the change rammed through.

 

If there is a crown laying around, you have a pvp solution for that don't you?

 

Go get the crown, I know raiding is effort and all, but that is what the spell is meant for to find things left laying around.

You're way beyond logical sense & please don't edit that away later, people legit need to see how salty you are 1 year later, anybody with a reasonable mind can see how dumb this is tbh.

JakeRivers thinks adding 50% chance of finding a crown instead of artifacts is logical. Didn't explain why. Just because he's unaffected and it's a good troll.

Why do I need to find it? Explain. Explain why I would need to go find the enemies PMK crown or why it's important that I get that info over locating an artifact in which there is already what, 1 in 12 chance of hitting?

Explain how adding 50% to locate artifact is logical, when the crown doesn't belong to anybody but that 1 kingdom.

nono, jakerivers makes logical sense here, we just need to ignore that important part of information.

If someone does not log in for a specific amount of time I do believe it drops to the ground.

 

Which you should know, being all knowing and all that.

you're failing to explain.

legit question, his bizarre logic has got me wondering, if i was to acquire an enemies PMK crown, if it's even possible for me to pickup as an enemy,

1. would that even fix the issue and 2. what does the pmk do if enemy has the crown :mellow:

In any case all you are asking for is a easier way to find artifacts, as opposed to the system that has been in place for a long time.

ok you're trolling, you've never came across this issue/situation so it's kinda dumb to carry this on. Locate artifact should locate artifacts as it does. no crowns. Enjoy your day.

Can we take a second to explain and make sure it's understood that the crown is not on the ground and it's in the former chief's inventory because the crown dropping after abdicating was a bug

 

seeing that it is a nodrop item carried by a person because the bug was fixed, you can't even go hunting for the crown
