Title: "You can't go that way."
Post by Issy on 07/07/03 at 02:11:18

As i say in every post, please forgive me if this has been brought up before.

If your in the forest and you try to go west, but if you can't, it says "You can't go that way."

Instead of it saying "You can't go that way." how about it says "The thorn bushes are to thick to get through."

Or if your in the barracks "The walls prevent you from going that way."

Grassy Meadow "A wooden fence stops you from going that way."

or in towns "A railing is stopping you from going into the grass."

Just a thought

If you checked that idea is already in some areas. It's just that the tediousness of adding it comes into play. Lets just say you have to add it to every direction you cant go in for every square in the area. Add to the fact that players probably won't care for it anyway.

Was just a general idea, thought it would bring a twist to the game *shrug*

It is a good idea, but you gotta consider that there are large areas, like, for example, Necromancer's Tower and Barrier Forest which have tons of "You can't go that way". Staff have got priorities, and right now I think it's getting Pacifists out of the sketch board ;)

I'm pretty sure the Barrier Forest and Necro Tower alredy have descriptions other than "You can't go that way"... but I agree, it might be a pain for staff to redo some areas... although I do like the idea of a more interesting message.

This is not that difficult to add.. It is time consuming but thats about it.

I don't think it should be added to EVERY direction.. But it would give a little life to some areas. Cyric was a _AWESOME_ developer and added detail into his areas. If you look in the necro tower, sdg and swamp this addition is everywhere. It adds a kick to an area =P.

as said there are some areas that already have descriptive walls

Grassy Meadow: You're standing in a large, grassy meadow. You can go West, South, or East further into the meadow.
A Bunny, Bunny, Bunny, Bunny, Bunny are here with you.

North =

Forming a thick wall around the Grassy Meadow, the barrier forest is so densely populated with vines that it is impossible to travel through.

Bunny: Sniffle
