Why not make it so you can toggle the walking animation in profile?

Woah really? I assumed people would be able to get back up with a 2p mount. I'm so glad I left mine there.

You can do it, although you'll be warped, you can still do it, it just takes a bit...

Perhaps add a chance for fireflies to spawn in the new nature area with the statue?

If none of your warp crystals are on pedestals, when you try to use the warp ring, nothing happens.

There should probably be a notification somewhere explaining that you need to place your crystals on pedestals around the world.

Why?

Done.

Just a small little idea but maybe for people that want to know where all the warp pillars are on the map there should be faded out crystals where the pillars are that don't have a crystal in them.

Would also be nice if there was a way to skip the Steward's wall of text after learning about contracts the first time.

Dusty · 01-23-2017

Stewart's chat is now skipped if you've read it before, if you haven't noticed. There is also a book in there detailing various tidbits of information about bounties. There are a few reasons bounties disable weapons. Mostly, it helps us regulate and pace baddy killing. It wasn't exactly fair when players went to places like the pyrat bay and swooped in and had all the pyrats following them and bombing them and such and leaving little to other players. The way the bounty box is designed encourages 1v1 baddy killing. Second, using bombs and arrows to kill baddies conflicted with the design of the bounty box. When you catch a bounty the box "jumps" onto it--assume you throw the box on it. If you were to kill a baddy from a long distance away with an explosion or arrow it doesn't make sense for the box to teleport from you to the baddy.

Mount usage with bounty boxes was never intended since you weren't able to drop your bounty initially. But whatever, I don't think it harms things that much and I think it's too late to implement that sort of restriction on players.

Things that will be done to bounty hunting:
1) New lizardon area
2) New black blob area
3) New bandit area without the draisine prerequisite
4) Crabs and bats will be redesigned and added back to the bounties
5) Damage tracking like pyrat drops had. First hit will get benefit over last hit. However you must be near enough to the baddy for it to register. This is mainly to prevent bounty thefts.
6) The coding involved to disable weapons doesn't easily allow certain weapons, so things such as lanterns may be an issue. Might have the lantern auto-on when you enter a cave as long as you have one.

Can we also have some sort of timer, just like the pyrat quest? Having the message say "you have to wait awhile" just doesn't tell me anything useful... I would appreciate it very much. Could also bring back the exclamation mark or something, like Jargain had. Would help me plan around it much more, thanks!

Yeah that can be done.

Should update house rating leaderboard to be based on average star rating from 1-10 instead of number of likes.
Of course people might exploit this by liking their own house so it should only track houses that have a certain amount of ratings.
