IDEAs and Bugfixes - Feb. 18

Written by: Tecton the Terraformer

Addressed to: Everyone


The team and I have been working on a fresh batch of IDEAs and bugfixes! Here's the details of the latest changes:

* RANKINGS SEAMONSTERS is in! Prove your dominance over the foul creatures of the sea and make sure everyone knows about it.

* The status of being a novice has been expanded to include a play time component. This does not apply across all areas of the game at this point, but does apply to CITY NOVICE commands, and PICKPOCKET protection.

* Novices are now considered "on-plane" when they escape from the Pygmy dungeons, so they'll be able to hear your calls of congratulations over the various channels.

* REMOVE ARTEFACTS has been added.

* ENVENOM has been added to the Pranks skill

* Retired characters are now classed as dormant immediately, in terms of rankings, elections etc.

* Retired characters will now cease ignoring people when their retirement is approved.

* LEGION EXPAND CAPACITY will now inform you how big your new legion capacity is when completed.

* CITY COMMS commands are no longer restricted to the city council chambers.

* QUEUE PREPEND will now run the queue if it could normally do so.

* Attacks in Curses and Evileye will now be more forgiving when specifying the affliction. For example Stupidity and Stupid will now work.

* Serpent snakes will now respect multiclass changes correctly.

* There is now a plane-wide message when a city destruction tank explodes.

* Many small fixes to city destruction were implemented, improving the reliability of tank detonation.

* Star sigils item naming is now more in-line with other sigils.

* SHOW TIREDNESS has been added.

* LIMERICK (Voicecraft) has been moved lower in the skill.

* PLUCK EAGLE (Concoctions) will now look for unplucked eagles, in cases where there are multiple options.

* Many small tweaks and improvement to the server-side curing system, including giving adventurers full control of when/if to sip health and better handling of defences when afflicted with stupidity.

* IMPROVEMENTS balance time has been reduced.

* REVERT can now be used to unmorph adventurers.

* REVIVE (Reclamation) can now be enacted with RECLAMATION REVIVE as well.

* DISTURB (Weatherweaving) duration will now correctly reset to full duration on re-cast.

Enjoy!
