Feature Requests / Approved: Add link to character details

« on: May 04, 2020, 07:44:18 AM »

Title: Add link to character details

Summary: Add link to character details

Details:
When an infil is captured red-handed we get this realm wide message. Would be good to have a link to the character page there:

Sabotage!
message to all nobles of Keplerstan
A saboteur in XXX has done 15 % of damage to the local production. The culprit was caught red-handed, however. He is identified as Evil Evilstani, from Evilstani, and thrown into prison.

Benefits: Direct access to details and history of said infiltrator

Possible Downsides/Exploits: Someone needs to code it. No exploits.

Feature Requests / Re: Switch Estate as a Lord

As the Lord of the region, you can change the size (and name) of the various estates.
One hour spent to reduce the size the "other" estate and one more hour to enlarge (and rename if desired) your existing estate.
Same 2 hours and no delay.

Good suggestion!  However, it is still needlessly a workaround for something that could happen with a push of the button.
In your case I would need to reduce size, increase size, rename and rename again.

Also just checked, taking new estate (in my original workaround) takes 3 full hours.

Delvin: let me know if I can add it to bugtracker.

Perhaps something to look into:

Give the same ability to a knight? It's probably much harder because the current Estate screen does not allow you to browse through other estates of the same region to check if there's a better option.. So a much tougher feature to implement. But worthwhile the consideration?

Hi,

Title: Switch Estate as a Lord

Summary: Optimize the process for a Lord to simply switch between his own estates. Currently, there's an abandon action, wait period, take up new estate action.

Details: Proposal: From the GovernEstates.php page, give the Lord the option to simply switch between 2 estates. It happened to me when I was a knight of a region and become a Lord. So I wanted to pick the better estate, but now I first need to abandon (lose 2 hours), wait a half day, and pick a new estate (lose hours again?).
The Switch action would take just 2 hours of your time pool. It's just much faster.

Benefits: Optimizing flow without needlessly performing multiple actions and waiting in between.

Possible Downsides/Exploits: At this point, I'm not sure how it can be exploited.

Already mentioned this in Discord to Tim, but in order to have everything grouped:

I sent messages to entire realm, but apparently no one is getting these in the regular message screen (no sure if you get them by using the 'NewsReader' screen)
So at this moment it's dangerous to try it out.

Title: Add realm diplomacy colors to Scouting.php

Summary: On the play-travel.php page we have colors to indicate if the realm is friend or foe (or neutral,...). I'd like to have the same on Scouting.php page.

Details: See above, it's all I have to say about it.

Benefits: Consistency. Knowing if you're scouting enemy land or neutral/friendly from a glance (or if you don't know the real status between your realms).

Possible Downsides/Exploits: Coding effort, too many colors on the page, ...

Yeah it well hidden. It couldn't hurt mocking it up a bit better and putting a link somewhere.

We could add a page "Battlemaster.org/welcome". Then when introducing new players to the game we make this the standard link we provide. The landing page could feature a short trailer then links with the option to view tutorials, read the wiki or proceed to the main game page.

You mean this one?

I don't really see why we should add this.. if it's only to help newer players?

Also, please use the correct format to make a feature request.

Helpline / Re: Why East Island no have so much monsters?

« on: June 24, 2019, 12:48:20 PM »

East Island is played as a low fantasy continent (just like all stable islands).

Hence why there are not so much undead/monster/fantasy stuff.

I can get behind the idea that older characters now could be bothersome realms.
Hell, I even have an 'older' (in his 60s I think?) character duke & lord for ages. I can see how that could become a problem.

For me the problem is that it's just not realistic to have 100+ chars around acting like they are 21. People just don't play their old characters as old !@#$s who are barely able to do anything anymore. Because well, the game mechanics don't burden their actions.

As far as incentives go, I think Lancaster summed up some I would have thought of first hand as well:
- H/P boost
- Skill boost
- Unique Item

Depending on what the old character had.

I'm interested to see more 'incentives'. Because I do bbelieve we should encourage people to not play characters whose age is too damn high.

Reviving this topic.

We need more feedback please.

I know everyone is longing for a reply to list option. This is going to be it.

Test it out, provide feedback we can work with.

The more we can get this finalised; the sooner we can implement it.

Thanks.

Hi!

Great to have you back!

When did you last login?

In an older version of BM, inactive accounts where deleted after several months and after several warning e-mails to the e-mail you signed up with.

I for one do not find your family in the backend.
I am more than sure that if you PM an Administrator (Anaris or Ethan Lee Vita) with the e-mailaddress you use, they will be able to help you more and/or confirm if your account still exists.

Cheers
