Title: idea
Post by Gotanks0407 on 02/20/04 at 00:11:08

when you are training make the monsters text change color when you are killing him instead of looking him over everytime to decrease lag and less clicking

example: when he is slightly wounded his name is yellow
when he is moderatly wounded it turns orange
and when mortally wounded it turns red

well i just suggest on monsters but if you want it on people to that is just bogus

Hmmm... I'm not too sure about this one.

Using your little system here, wouldn't monsters appear green when they're in "healthy condition"?

That'd be uber confusing.

they only change when they are slightly wounded forgot to add that

Monsters, currently, always have a name in red.

So, you're telling me that their names will turn red, yellow, orange then back to red, just before they die?

Nice thinking. But I don't think it's too practical.. Sorry.

but it is useful when you train instead of right clicking a monster to see if they are almost dead

Title: Re: idea

God forbid you right click.

Wouldn't it be easier having a program to play for you? Does that make it a good thing?

Try using 10+ characters then.. I find plenty of time to page/clan chat/friend chat.

No. They are supposed to make the game better. I am sick of all these commands that glorify the use of alts.

Title: Re: idea
Post by Mip on 02/20/04 at 02:29:26

Umm...I may be "off my rocker" here but...

You only need to look over the monster on one crit to see its condition, so it doesn't matter if you're playing with 1 crit or one thousand. ^^;

If you have a ping that high all the time, it'd be impossible to play.. That works out to (I believe) a 39second delay in information.. I could make it to sarka from Nightmist in that time (Or close to)..

haha i may be the only one but i think the monster color/hp thing would be pretty cool to have.. would be very nice at bosses.. maybe it goes from red - yellow - orange - purple? lol /shrug

Title: Re: idea
Post by Silverwizard on 02/21/04 at 02:00:17

Umm dude why do you wanna log more alts then you can handle I mean that strikes me as a bad idea. So honestly just let your monsters acctually stay one colour use a reasonable amount of alts and right click I did that when I had a 2k connection.
