Title: Unnecessary
Post by Deval on 05/09/03 at 15:35:41

I was wondering, is it REALLY necessary that we see that other people are hungry and or thirsty, I find it highly annoying having a screen full of crap like:

Angel is hungry.
Angel is thirsty.

Please make it a personal deal, we don't wanna know about it.

It is annoying I agree. However if you are hungry or thirsty wouldnt you want people to know, so a Druid could refresh you. Which also I think is the point of it.

I agree with Deval - if you're hungry/thirsty, tell the druid (not like anyone else would instantly know anyway).

Lmfao...angel.... hehe i nourish him whenever i see him. ^.^

And I normally nourish people sitting on the square with me that are hungry/thirsty (unless I'm afk) because it just really annoys me as well to see it.

I thought that was just cause your nice?? lol i agree with eternyte  it does get annoying but its cool hen you can walk into somewhere and someone will refresh you  cause you may not know youre hungry or thirsty , (being on another crit, traveling fast, afk for real)

Personally I also feel it is a waste. Just if your hungry/thirsty, tell someone. I hate being in a square going afk for like 10-20 minutes and coming back to 'Blah' is hungry a thousand times. Maybe it should be just kept to the player that is hungry?

If I remember correctly someone awhile back suggested that it only tells you once that your hungry and thirsty, maybe this would solve the problem and you wouldn't have to see a thousand so and so is hungry and thirsty

I doubt that'd work.. if it'd only tell ya once.. you could easily go afk.. not see it.. come back.. and you could easily die from it... by not noticing it. You should always feed your crits before leaving town though.. just be sure you have a healer or something when leaving for a long period of time.

Seeing this repeatedly does get highly annoying.. specially when in a party.

i will make it so it doesn't tell the sqr if there is enough support for it

My support for this was in another thread already. Let only the person who is actually hungry or thirsty see the message. That way they can still ask for nourish if a druid is present, and if not it won't annoy the other players. The other thread mentioned severe scrolling at a boss caused by a party of 30 hungry crits, and I can see how this gets annoying.

I completely back making it only tell the person that they are hungry/thirsty, not the square. When you have really big parties and are out training, it lags you up Really bad when it has to load each persons hungry/thirsty. Think 30 people, thats 30 lines. To much lag it causes, take it out! hehe

Title: Re: Unnecessary
Post by Odin on 05/10/03 at 00:55:28
60 lines even Medora.

I support this. If you leave your crit afk and clog up the game, you deserve to die.

Im for the not showing the square personal hunger/thirst messages, but other players also should have a way of knowing if a player is dying of hunger/thirst. So I suggest adding yet another "status" effect to show up in a players /look profile.

Example.
Exotic_Dancer is a Female Half-Orc Apprentice Berserker. She looks extremely strong, witty, fast, and average looking. In one hand she holds an Oak Staff and he has been slightly wounded and is hungry.

This way players would still have a way to tell if someones dying from hunger/thirst, and we wouldnt have the annoying scroll messages.

I like that idea a lot . . . u look them over if their hungry/thirsty it tells you in the look over . . .

As long as it still tells you your hungry/thirsty though :)

I hate more than anyting to see on my screen Despair is hungry ... Despair is thirsty.. and I agree with Kimmi it lags the heck outta you out in the desert and the whole party is hungry/thirsty. I support not showing the whole square that would make my day  ;D

I agree it does get annoying!

Title: Re: Unnecessary
Post by Night_Angel on 05/10/03 at 02:56:21
ok i agree with the adding player is in ... condition and thirsty/hungry and getting rid of  sqr all seeing player is hungry/thirsty

I think it'd be nice if it was a toggle command. Then if a nourishing happy druid wants to see who's all hungry and thirsty 24/7 he/she can nourish and be scrolled as much as their lil hearts desire..but I really support the idea of stopping that annoying hunger and thirstyness!

Title: Re: Unnecessary
Post by Zylia on 05/10/03 at 13:21:01
Lol exactly what I was thinking...

Zylia is a Female Halfling Archmaster Thief. She looks strong, wise, extremely fast, and sexy. In one hand she holds a Dagger of Spirits, the other a Steel Bracers. She is wearing a Concealing Petal Armor, and a Feathered Helm protects her head. Around her neck sits a Silver Amulet. She is wearing a Crystal Ring, a Crystal Ring, a Claddagh Ring, and Spider Gauntlets on her hands. Her feet are protected by Crocodile Skin Boots. She is a member (-= K¡tt¥ Kåt =-) of FaLLeN AnGeLs and she is in a healthy condition. She appears to be famished and thirsty.

Something along those lines would be better than the scrolling lines of '<name> is hungry'. Toggle command would also be cool.

lol i didn't read all replies but it's annoying indeed :D

(specially when you are running a party of 12 crits :d) ::)

anyway the thing where it sais it let's ppl know you are hungry and someone said that was easy and realisitc or something, can't you just ask for some food and water? that's what the homeless on holland do :D

they don't go stand infront of you and show you they are hungry. they just ask for food and money :D

Title: Re: Unnecessary
Post by Old School Freaks on 05/10/03 at 13:55:35

I'm in support of removing the message when others are hungry.

Post by Oblivion on 05/10/03 at 15:21:04
I support this also..

Title: Re: Unnecessary
Post by JLH on 05/10/03 at 15:24:13
it will be removed from telling the square at the next update, and it will be added onto looking over a person, a toggle command is not required.

why is this not in the improvments forum anyway

Title: Re: Unnecessary
Post by Astrona on 05/10/03 at 15:27:03
No idea. It got the point across anyways. Thanks for accepting the idea JLH. Even if you didn't like mah toggle idea. *sulk*

Title: Re: Unnecessary
Post by Lady_Maha on 05/10/03 at 18:00:41
I think this was brought up either on Improvements or Suggestions before... not sure which one...

Title: Re: Unnecessary
Post by wonderful_nightmare on 05/10/03 at 18:10:05
i've read it in suggestions before i think but it looks like it gets alot more attention in discussion forum then in improvements (cuz staff didn't reply last time someone suggested this)
