Removing ammo (in Changelog)

Ammo has been effectively removed from the game. Even though you'll still see ammo items around (for a short while), they don't actually do anything. They're just waiting to be deleted.

Ranged weapons will do the same damage as before, except for the Sling of Death which will behave as though it always had explosive shot equipped. Other slings will behave as though they always have iron shot.

If you have a set of named ammo, please send it to Mr. Chairman with a note as to which item you would like named instead, and what name to give it. Please make sure that the item to be named is on the same character as the one sending the ammo, so I don't have to poke around looking for it. Do this by June 27.

GREAT CHANGE!!!!!

No compensation for large stacks or upgraded ammo?

This is a substantial change so be patient (and post here) if you find a bug.

> No compensation for large stacks or upgraded ammo?

No.

woot!

Do we get to keep the ammo we have as a memory of ... the way we were?
:)

Ouch, a bit harsh. Anyway, Weapon store is still selling ammo.

oh. and EXCELLENT CHANGE by the way mr jon.

Wow. Cool!

Though, if I were using an SoD and Iron Shots to avoid GA damage pre-change, I might be upset here. But I'm not.

will using a ranged weapon with proper ammo still be a goal? :P

can we just have the time extended on an already named item?

lol @ the ammo store.
Filled with tons of exp shots and big ammos.

Mikel: sure

Seriously though, will the ammo we have, say we hold A bolt, be deleted from our characters inventory eventually or will we be able to hold on to it and just not be able to use it?

Did you remove the Blacksmith, too? Because it doesn't seem to be there, anymore...

i've got no problem with the blacksmith CC. He's there.

Oh, there he is...

Apparently, if you leave a stack of ammo on a character, you can't go into the blacksmith, because all equipped items have to be things that still technically exist.

Whoa....cool change I think though :)

This brings Halidon -that- much closer to being JUST LIKE a real archer!

awww, I paid 66,666 for this stack of 666 arrows :(

ob must have paid jon big big, all his hal dreams are coming true!!! ;)

and no compensation for the ammo or the transfer fee?

No disenchanting ammo?

I think this was meant to solve the upgraded ammo issue and give people with upped ammo a little kick in the balls along with it. You can't disenchant ammo because it doesn't exist anymore.

Nice. Too bad I still can't equip my ranged weapon.

Name my RoE on Colts to Power Stone. Thank You!

:D

It's a shame about no reimbursement, and I ws considering selling my 1 Million plus Ex shos to the store last night!

But this is a change I love.

maybe turn the piece of code that you made for the always ammo part and turn it into an item called a quiver? It kinda looks odd to see a bow without any ammo equipped.

Well, there goes my 10mil Explosive Shot project. I can't even merge now to get it to a 10 mil bundle... sigh... Sold a 5mil and 3mil bundle. Grrr...

it stinks :)

^then you could still have iron shots if you wanted too

This is a small buff for the non-USD users in that they do not have to go to the store to spend money on ammo every again.

> I ws considering selling my 1 Million plus Ex shos to the store last night!

you can still do that.

> No compensation for large stacks or upgraded ammo?


Sell them to the store ;)

not a fan of this new change, not a fan at all...

what is the reasoning for no ammo... to me it is like a step back for the game... I understand that ammo can be a bit of a money pit and a annoyance from time to time, but GOOD... we need a money pit and who cares if you have to keep an eye on the money... isn't that a valued aspect of the game??? plus being able to buy a slightly better type of ammo gives some advantage, which adds elements to the game... now i usually keep my mouth shut and see where change takes us... I ultimately I will do that here too, but i think this change is a step back... but i guess maybe you have a plan...

"you can still do that."

WooT! Done. ;)

Pope: I think this is a response to the upgraded ammo problems an complaints people are having. Possibly, at least.

Though, come to think of it, my ranged PTH in post-battle stats is still the same as it was with my +4 named ExShots. Did the PTH from those not display, or were they actually just not helping all this time?

hahaha, I just realized, this means all those characters with bows no ammo are now viable farms again! xD

I have not recieved my item naming yet, any idea when it will happen?

Me too... :(

I couldn't fit the names I wanted for items into the "20 character only" note for transfers... so I had to chatmail him. :P I hope that's cool.

All "name exchanges" sent so far are taken care of, except for Windwalker, Soxjr, Calynne, and Koshka, who did not tell me what they wanted named.

Red - ditto:

Extend A Named Pair of Helm's Gauntlets [4] (+16) (Pair of Helm's Gauntlets) to 14 months

and:

Extend Jagged Popsicle Stick [67x4000] (+181) (Vorpal Blade) to 14 months 4 days

I did. I said to add a year to my mageseeker bow spiral. I will send another note.

Extend the naming on my MH Voice of Reckoning for 33 days

I had the same issue with lack of space on the transfer's page note, but I sent my instructions CM to Central Bank instead of direct to Jonathan - presume that's where the hold-up came in, as the CM hasn't been delivered yet. Sent a second CM to Jonathan, so hopefully it'll work this time.

I chatmailed Central Bank as well... I guess I'll chatmail Jon instead and post it here as well...

Sorry for the mix up. I also sent a CM. I'm sending 2 named stacks of ammo. Would you use the names on my Amulet of Leadership and name it "AoL".Name the Boots of fortitude "BoF". That should do it.Thanks ;)

Done. Now just haven't heard from Thanatos.

Haha... Will Mr Chairman ever respond to our cm? ;)

I sent my ammo over and never got a rename

because you and Ernest-Scribbler never told me what to rename.

come on guys, this isn't rocket science.

I sent you 3 chatmails man :P The SOD Name it Pipebomb

I sent a chatmail at the time saying i wanted my "Pious bow" name extended. I assume you were bombarded at the time though.

Finished names. Remaining ammo has been purged.

I sent my ammo with a note and a CM followup, but I also remain nameless.

got it
