ScrObot August 27 6:11 PM EDT
I think this is already under way, but the "real" clan points for your clan (which include subtracted CPs from rituals) is only shown correctly on the individual clan page; the CPs shown on the clan standings page are incorrect.
Demigod August 27 6:16 PM EDT
Real = Net
Attack Posture August 27 8:36 PM EDT
lol mine are by no means easy, all 5's, man if i was only playing crib i would have a sweet hand
AdminNightStrike August 27 11:43 PM EDT
scro - that's a lot of rework.. it'll take me a bit.
ScrObot August 27 11:45 PM EDT
That's what I figured, I just wanted to make sure it ended up on this list if it was applicable. (=
AdminNightStrike August 28 12:46 AM EDT
1-yes
2-yes
3-no
4-no
5-no
6-possibly
7-no
AdminNightStrike August 28 1:03 AM EDT
61 - no. You can't do that in awt, which means we'd have to rewrite the whole chat client. Not a bad thing, but not part of this.
QBPheasant Plucker August 28 11:01 AM EDT
Ooh! On the battle screen, what about a "CPs Earned/CPs Taken" stat? This would be more useful now that we have Clan Rituals that alter CPs, plus it will help to recognize when an enemy's clan stops earning bonus so that you can stop fighting them and concentrate on more important targets.
(This would help to assuage the "we got farmed into the negatives!" thing that I see pop up from time to time here in the forums, perhaps?)
Lochnivar August 28 11:29 AM EDT
Like this OB?
Cash (total) $778
Healing cost -$14
XP (per minion) 108
Clan Points 6
coz you may want to glance at the current fight logs....
QBPheasant Plucker August 28 11:41 AM EDT
Everybody please ignore my posts, I cannot read
my excuse is that I am from Alabama
QBGentlemanLoser August 28 11:47 AM EDT
Distracted by those new first years? :P
AdminNightStrike August 28 1:30 PM EDT
49: why?
AdminNightStrike August 28 1:31 PM EDT
50: yes
51: yes
AdminNightStrike August 28 1:32 PM EDT
42: I had started to implement this, but Jon specifically does not allow clan name changes. It's not a matter of capability. I'll have to find out from him why that is.
AdminNightStrike August 28 1:33 PM EDT
17: yes
AdminNightStrike August 28 1:34 PM EDT
14: no
Meteor Phoenix August 28 1:39 PM EDT
Also had a thought. Each day at cache flush, I'm asleep and my forging log gets wiped so that I'll only see if the item being forged is, say, white-hot. Sometimes it messes me up when I get up and continue as I'll forget whether I was quenching or heating. Is it possible to make it so that the log stays at the flush?
AdminNightStrike August 28 1:49 PM EDT
Yes, it's possible, but that's part of flushing all cached data. If we didn't, we'd have a much bigger cache.
Meteor Phoenix August 28 1:52 PM EDT
I know, but maybe just keep the last 10 lines of forge for the day if you forged?
Admin{CB1}Slayer333 August 28 2:10 PM EDT
Spoiler tags for the forums would be nice.
horseguy001 August 28 11:20 PM EDT
In the store when you don't have enough money for an equip the box disappears and the text is no longer lined up. Maybe just put a grayed out box instead? I think it would look a lot neater that way.
ScrObot August 28 11:32 PM EDT
Add a "Move Right" button to the first minion on the training screen (ideally on all of them, except the last minion obviously). Having only "Move Left" starting on the second minion is confusing.
Meteor Phoenix August 29 12:20 AM EDT
When you retire/unretire a character, the active characters list doesn't update. You need to reload the frame to get it updated.
MonkeyMandate August 29 12:45 AM EDT
how about being able to change the web page link in your profile. atm there isn't a way to do that or if so i can't see one.
QBPit Spawn August 29 9:06 AM EDT
Have searching for users also search through aliases too, maybe put the matching alias in parenthesis after the users current name.
QBPheasant Plucker August 29 9:08 AM EDT
MonkeyMandate: Settings > Basic Information > Update
AdminNightStrike August 29 9:55 AM EDT
69 - you've got to be kidding...
Zenai August 29 11:02 AM EDT
How about under the Clans Quick Link there is a Hyperlink the the Clans Section of the Wiki.
Could the Chatmail Link in Community be moved to the Top since more often than not that is what is be looked for in the first place(when the hover menu either doesn't appear or community is Clicked.)
AdminNightStrike August 29 11:06 AM EDT

No
AdminNightStrike August 29 11:09 AM EDT
This is an example of a good suggestion:
#
Titan (higher specifed) : 3
Sometimes if you want to go higher a long ways, you have to hit higher again and again and again. It'd be nice if we could just type in a score and it goes to the character with a score closest to that.
Zenai August 29 11:18 AM EDT
How about under the Clans Quick Link there is a Hyperlink the the Clans Section of the Wiki.
Why?
Honestly I did not know there was a format to use for suggestions. Also I thought this would have been a bit self evident. Info for Clans in the Clans Quicklink Section only makes sense to me but of course I am weird so maybe not.
QBPit Spawn August 29 11:38 AM EDT
You could call my alias search suggestion the GW Amendment ;).
AdminNightStrike August 29 11:43 AM EDT
Z, there's no prescribed format. I just meant that it was a really good suggestion in terms of applicability, ease of implementation, quality of idea, etc.
Also, for the wiki thing, nothing else has that. There's no wiki link for auctions under the auction menu, for example.
Admin{CB1}Slayer333 August 29 2:17 PM EDT
Along with some of the other visual cue requests, having the (Get More) link be one color when you have BA to purchase, and another when you do not would be nice.
Rod August 29 2:32 PM EDT
[quote] Along with some of the other visual cue requests, having the (Get More) link be one color when you have BA to purchase, and another when you do not would be nice. [/quote]
Alternatively, maybe the (get more) link just fades away once you have gotten all your BA?
While on it, you could save a teensy bit of space by having it be "BA: XXX (get more)" i.e. it being a single line.
Not sure if we need to get more space on the left pane, but that saves one line.
Zenai August 29 2:34 PM EDT
I agree with Slayer on that, it would be something cool to have.
NS: My thought was all Clan Stuff together in that Quick Link since there is only a few things in it anyway and it would be easy to use. Looking for Clan Info hit the Clans Quick Link and all things clan related is there instead of Hit Help!, search, Click this and that for the info.
AdminNightStrike August 29 4:57 PM EDT
If 66 is just saying to put a "total trained XP" somewhere on the train page (per minion and per party), then this is ok.
AdminNightStrike August 29 4:59 PM EDT
For 8, I thought I put the retired date already on the display of retired parties...
AdminNightStrike August 29 5:05 PM EDT
Looks like it got removed somehow. I put it back in. You can now see the retired date on your character view page.
Newlin August 29 7:52 PM EDT
I'm not sure if this would be difficult or not but the ability to upload a user or character picture from your phone would be nice.
Rod August 30 3:27 AM EDT
Fix PR/MPR links on equip page.
Note: Yeah. Just displaying total trained EXP would be fantastic.
AdminNightStrike August 30 3:37 AM EDT
Fix PR/MPR links on equip page.
Er... Why did people try to redirect Power Rating to Power? Why not just put all that content under the properly named page? I'm going to say this is a wiki fix, not a link fix. PR means Power Rating. It's a PR stat, not a P stat.
TheHatchetmister August 30 4:32 AM EDT
with or without the R... if you have no MP, you can't cast spells or use special abilities ;)
DrAcO5676 August 30 5:21 AM EDT
If we use a named item in the salvage yard can we get the remaining time and the name changed to the main weapon we are changing?
Wasp August 30 7:08 AM EDT
I got another one. Not sure if anyone else gets this but when I first start forging on my phone in the morning it just refreshes the page BUT it costs me a BA. So although it's still cool to touch, I only have 159 BA.. Strange :)
QBPheasant Plucker August 30 9:25 AM EDT
Er... Why did people try to redirect Power Rating to Power? Why not just put all that content under the properly named page? I'm going to say this is a wiki fix, not a link fix. PR means Power Rating. It's a PR stat, not a P stat.
Just looking at the page histories from a quick glance, Power and Minion Power came first and all the links from other pages direct to them; I think it's just a case of "MPR page was formed, instead of changing all the links to MP to go to MPR, we'll just linked MPR to MP."
When I get home tonight, if it hasn't already been done, I'll go through and copy over the information and change the links to redirect to the appropriate pages.
Eurynome Bartleby August 30 10:25 PM EDT
Somewhere, either on the Equip or Train page, there could be a summary of the total bonuses/maluses that come with your current equipped gear. (On each minion, not the team as a whole.)
AdminNightStrike August 30 11:05 PM EDT
OB,
If you delete the current PR/MPR pages, and then rename the P and MP pages, it *should* edit all the links for you.
At least, most wikis do that kind of thing.
DrAcO5676 August 31 12:00 AM EDT
If we use a named item in the salvage yard can we get the remaining time and the name changed to the main weapon we are changing?
AdminNightStrike August 31 12:05 AM EDT
That should already happen. Or, are you saying you want the naming on the sacrificed item to transfer over?
Admin{CB1}Slayer333 August 31 12:46 AM EDT
1. Natasha (hiring stuck) : 2
A lot of times in the tutorial it gets stuck on the hiring a minion part and they keep hiring until they give up.
2. GL, Titan, Nat (Switching chars problems) : 3
Often swapping characters doesn't actually swap them, so you still have the same character selected and have to select another character before you can actually select the character you want.
3. GL (Training set thing) : 5
When creating a new Training Set when you already have exisitng ones, the new Teaning Set once saved, the 'Load' button appears to the right of the name text, out of synch with the others, who are on the left of the name text.
4. Nat, Tal (Specifed char bug) : 5
If you specify a character no matter what you try to do on the side bar, then next fight you fight if you click the fight link will be against the specified character, not whichever character you may have selected. The only way to get around this is to fight a different character through the inspect or recent battles page.
5. Titan (higher specifed) : 3
Sometimes if you want to go higher a long ways, you have to hit higher again and again and again. It'd be nice if we could just type in a score and it goes to the character with a score closest to that.
6. GL, Rod, Verifex, Novice, Eury, OddBird (my fight thing, the opponent/player search) : 1
And the other suggestions for Fexy's fight thing! ;)
http://www.carnageblender.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=002voo
http://www.carnageblender.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=002qqY
7. GL (Interface tweaks) : 4
The links are a tad too close for fat fingered Mobile play. ;)
8. dudemus, nat (clan wall delete) : 3
Clans should be able to delete clan wall messages.
9. Eury (no econ nw) : 3
Clans>My Clan:
Doesn't display the amount of networth forged by clan members, only their CBD revenue, which is a useless statistic to track.
10. Eury (display nw forged) : 3
Clans>View Economic:
Displays clan rankings based on revenue, which doesn't matter there either. Bonuses aren't based on Xfer'd CBD. (I wouldn't get a bonus if they were.) That page should display amount of networth forged instead.
11. Naketivity (tattoo artist time) : 5
At the Tattoo Artist, once you change a tattoo you are given 7 days, for everyday except the last the hours are displayed, Once it reaches less than a day left for you to opt out and change it back there is no time frame
12. Naketivity (black market notify) : 5
Add a note when we can re vote for the BM by appearing the next time we log on to cb as like a CM or a highlighted text from a drop.
13. Naketivity (hyperlink items to wiki) : 4
hyperlink all equipped items to the wiki.ïﾾ
14. Scr0bot (more precise datestamp in logs) : 5
Show the time in addition to the date for log entries for previous days (for example under Recent Battles and Transfers).
15. Scr0bot (chatmail received order) : 3
Received chatmails appear to be sorted by the delivered date, not the sent date -- so if you have a bunch of CMs waiting for you when you log in, they end up in a wonky order. They should be ordered by sent date (or delivered date THEN sent date if there's a reason to order them by delivered date at all).
16. Scr0bot (include clan on battle summary) : 5
On the 24 Hour Battle Summary page, include the clan (if applicable) next to the character names like it's listed elsewhere (such as the normal Recent Battles).
17. Scr0bot (link on stalemate) : 5
On the fight screen, when you win or lose, the opponent's name and clan are shown at the very top (e.g. "Beyond the Wheel defeated The Outlier (SeeD) after 3 rounds of combat"), and the name and clan are links. However, if you draw or stalemate, it doesn't show the character names and therefore links. Perhaps change the text in those circumstances so the name and clan is shown and linked (e.g. "Beyond the Wheel and The Outlier (Seed) battled to a draw" or something).
18. Scr0bot (commafy all numbers) : 5
Many places on the Fight screen, numbers greater than 999 aren't formatted with commas. In certain cases they are formatted correctly (DM casts, TSA regens, SoC flashes, the entire Post-battle stats section), but most places everything runs together with no separators (DD and weapon damage, PL absorption, AS casts... there's more but that's all I see in my fightlist (= ).
19. Vaynard (equip link tweak to clarify) : 5
) Rename 'Equip' link. Something simple like 'View Team', 'Examine', 'Stats', 'Main', or 'View' would be more descriptive IMHO since that is the main screen you want to see when you want to examine your team. Make it big and bold to draw the new player eye to it. Maybe even put it up by the player name?
20. Vaynard (merge stores) : 3
b) Merge Weapons and Armor stores into one equipment store. Is there any particular reason we keep them separate anymore?ïﾾ
21. Vaynard (put blackmarket back in stores) : 5
c) Move Black Market to Businesses. It just feels out of place in Community and I can't be the only one that forgets it all the time since it's off by itself.
22. Eury, OddBird, Zenai (remove/separate expired teams from stats) : 1
The "Current" winning streaks page is full of old retired teams
23. Scr0bot (make idle mode more evident in chat app, CM is no-go) : 3
When chat goes into "idle" mode, it briefly shows a message at the bottom beneath the input boxes, however unless you happen to be staring at it, you'd never know there was even an idle mode or how to reset it. If this sent you a PM or a status line in the PM window, that'd be much better. I didn't even know there was an idle mode until last week, when I happened to catch the message; I just thought chat got really laggy sometimes. (=
24. Scr0bot (disable jump to bottom of chat when new msg) : 1
Disable the jumping to the bottom of the chat window when a new message is shown while scrolling back. This is really annoying, I've just been select all > copy > pasting into a text editor if I want to read what has scrolled off screen.
25. Scr0bot (open users profile from chat window) : 2
How about the ability to right click on a user's name in the chat user list and be able to open their user profile in a new window?
26. Scr0bot (change sidebar formatting for name) : 5
Remove those ugly tags from around your username in the left pane and replace it with CSS top and bottom borders or some other styling.
27. Scr0bot, Rod (CM icon with number in sidebar) : 3
I know this is being worked on, but an easier way to get to chatmail in the left frame would be nice. It sounds like we'll have an icon that would indicate if we had new messages, if it was also present but grayed out (but still clickable) when there weren't that'd be nice.
28. Scr0bot (close threads based on activity) : 3
Make forum threads auto-close based on activity instead of just 1 month from closing. Perhaps 2 weeks after the last post?
29. Scr0bot (fix equip page tab selected) : 4
This may be an Opera thing and is extremely minor, but if you go to the Equip screen and you don't have any unequipped weapons, the Armor tab is not "selected" until you click on it.
30. Scr0bot (server time in chat) : 1
Since chat now shows timestamps based on your local computer time (which is awesome (= ), I think it'd be nice to have a message shown during chat initialization with the server time. I'd also suggest a couple wording tweaks. Something like:
Click on theïﾾ user listïﾾ toïﾾ send a Private Message toïﾾ someone, or typeïﾾ theirïﾾ name in the"PM to:"ïﾾ box
Type /help to list commands
Existing rooms:
carnage: 666 users
[17:25:44] The server time is: 20:26:08
31. Scr0bot (reorder chat user list) : 2
The sorting of users in the chat user list seems kind of random... perhaps alphabetize this list or sort by log in time (longest logged in at the top)?
32. dudemus (spell conflicts warning popups) : 3
i would love to see warnings when someone trains a spell or equips a weapon that conflicts with the other explaining how the interaction works.
33. Wraithlin (more fightfeed words) : 5
I want the following verbs added to the Fight Feed:
terminated (only if they have a killer robot on thier team)
lanced
pulverized
assimilated (possibly reserved for borg only teams)
kidney-punched
assassinated
squashed
decimated
keel hauled
34. GL (see supporter items/prices) : 2
Would it be possible to see in the special store if I've already bought an exisitng Supporter item or not? As if I haven't I can get one for 6USD instead of 11. ;)
35. GL (quotes include linebreaks) : 2
Anyway we can get quotes to include line breaks?
36. Scr0bot (stacking spell tweak) : 2
Multiple casts of the same ED on the fight screen are confusing if you don't know how they stack. If you have two minions casting DM for example, the second minion shows the total combined value of the DM cast, not their individual cast value. If this could be updated to show their individual value with the total next to it in parenthesis, that'd be a lot more clear.
Currently:
Minion 1 cast Dispel Magic on all enemy Minions (843,151)
Minion 2 cast Dispel Magic on all enemy Minions (5,357,110)
Suggested:
Minion 1 cast Dispel Magic on all enemy Minions (843,151)
Minion 2 cast Dispel Magic on all enemy Minions (4,513,959) (Total effect of 5,357,110)
37. Wasp (current/better forging stats) : 3
Economic clans don't see what they and they're clan mates are currently forging for the past 24 hrs (or week) without manually having to look through the stats. It would be nice to see that implemented so it's the same as fighting clans. :)
38. Verifex, Zippy, Demigod, Natasha (make sidebar menus better) : 3
Make the sidebar popout menus cooler looking
39. Scr0bot (icons with links on equip page) : 4
Regarding linking items to their wiki pages from various places, one way to do this would be to make tiny icons for each type of equipment (body armor, amulet, shield, melee weapon, ranged weapon etc... not specific to each item itself) and that icon would be a link to the wiki page. This prevents the equip etc. pages from being a wall of links, and doesn't break named item javascript links.
I think this would also make identifying items at a glance a little easier, especially for newbies (what's a cabasset again? armet? cesti?). A side benefit of this would be the ability to remove the weapon and armor type header rows from certain areas on the site, like what you're renting on the Manage screen.
This could also go with Slayer's suggestion of item mouseover popups (like Diablo 2, Borderlands etc).
As with any potential "graphical" enhancement, I think we would need to make sure these are not cartoony, fit the "feel" of the site and are subtle.
Quick and dirty mockup:
40. GL (enchant level cast at) : 2
Show the level that ? Enchantments cast at. Your team only is fine, if you want to keep the opponents hidden.
41. Scr0bot (retired users/view all tweak) : 3
When looking at a user's profile, the Retired Characters section has a "View All" link which implies that the list shown is only partial, but from what I can tell it shows them all in both places.
42. Scr0bot (train by raw effect) : 1
In training skills, there's already Train by XP and Train by Level which are great, but for some (Evasion and Archery come to mind) where it would be nice to Train by (Raw) Effect as well. (Maybe for Archery just "Train to 1.0 Effect".)
43. Meteor Phoenix (make black market consistent) : 5
Black market is under businesses, but only if you click businesses
44. Zenai, Demigod (clan history) : 2
Clan History: I think that Clans should have a History of Previous Members and Stats. IE X Member was here from Blank to Blank, highest CPs attained was blank. Highest Clan Score was blank.
45. JS, Lamu (drop text shows currently followed god) : 4
Change the item drop text to use the god that you're following
46. Windwalker, Lamu (regen rates display different in stats) : 3
In the character standings page, use different colors for the regen rates. For example, 6/20 would display green, 7/20 would display blue, etc. It would let new players see how close they were to that next increase.
47. Rod (rented/loaned items have visual cue) : 3
Distinguish between rented items and items you own. This can be a simple (R) tag before the item's name. Point? When forging/at the blacksmith you can be sure it isn't someone else's item you're upgrading.
48. Rod (remove old links) : 5
Remove old/outdated links. The community page, for example, points to sites that are quite archaic. To quote Antoine de Saint-Exupery: "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
49. Rod (arrange forums differently) : 4
arrange the forums under the forum list. Right now they seem a bit random, and I think a better order would be "changelog, general, new players, FS/WTB, services, contests, off-topic, links, debates" and maybe have some separator between game related and non-game related content.
50. Rod (use news more frequently) : 5
In the home page, where it says "News", should it possibly list recently created threads in the changelog forum? I don't think I've seen it display anything since I started playing, so I don't know if it gets any use.
51. Rod (arrange fightlog more neatly or with icons) : 5
For the sake of neatness, in recent battles I feel the (F)'s should align. Be it to the left or right side, but it would look a little tidier if they did
52. Slayer, GL, Shade (diff text colors per rarity) : 3
Give items different text colors based on rarity
53. Zippy (Scroll bar for left window)
Scroll Bar for the left window too. If this was mentioned already sorry. I have a netbook and can not see the drop down menus entirely in the left window and there is no way to scroll without a mouse
54. Scrobot, Slayer (Popup when hovering on item or icon w/ info and wiki link)
Have popups when hovering over an item (or it's icon...) a la Diablo 2 or Borderlands with some basic item information and a link to the wiki (and/or the icon itself would be the link).
55. ImmortalAA (clan co-leaders/officers)
add coleader/cofounder to clans with control to various parts of the clan such as rituals, and accepting new members
56. dudemus (purchase additional ritual increments)
i still like the idea of being able to purchase at least one more ritual increment while the current one is running.
57. GL (clan character switching)
Being able to select to swap to another character without haivng to retire. Obviously, it would have ot be smaller than your current character.
58. Zenai (Clan Alliances)
Clan Alliance Feature: A setting by Click of button/link by the Clan Leader to start an alliance. This would be on both sides of the Allying Parties. While in an Alliance Clan Members are reminded/alerted when they fight another member of that alliance.
59. Slayer (Simplified MPR cap for clans)
Simplify the MPR cap for clans.
60. Scrobot (Train by XP issues)
Train by XP and Train by Level allows you to put in a higher amount than you have; it'd be nice if it alerted you that you didn't have enough XP. (The way it works now isn't terrible, it just ends up doing the same thing as selecting Max, but I think it'd be nice if I'm trying to train to the next level of evasion or whatever but I don't have the XP to cover the full amount, it alerted me.)
61. Rod (Total trained XP)
It also added a total trained xp and other nifty goodies at the bottom of the train page. I think for transparency purposes this is a nice thing to have, given that PR weight is based on trained EXP (or so I'm led to believe. The wiki contradicts itself
62. Rod (Better tracking of actions in forge)
I also think it has some form of auto-forging, and I guess it wouldn't be bad if the forge kept track of how many times you have performed a certain action for a given cycle in case you lose track of them in your mind.
63. Scrobot (Sorting 24hr fight log by column)
How about the ability to sort the 24 hour battle summary screen by the column headers?
64. Scrobot (CP displays)
I think this is already under way, but the "real" clan points for your clan (which include subtracted CPs from rituals) is only shown correctly on the individual clan page; the CPs shown on the clan standings page are incorrect.
65. Slayer (Spoiler tags)
Spoiler tags for the forums would be nice.
66. Horseguy (Store purchase checkbox)
In the store when you don't have enough money for an equip the box disappears and the text is no longer lined up. Maybe just put a grayed out box instead? I think it would look a lot neater that way.
67. Meteor Phoenix (Active Character List)
When you retire/unretire a character, the active characters list doesn't update. You need to reload the frame to get it updated.
68. Pit Spawn (User Search Aliases)
Have searching for users also search through aliases too, maybe put the matching alias in parenthesis after the users current name.
69. Slayer (Get More visual cue)
Along with some of the other visual cue requests, having the (Get More) link be one color when you have BA to purchase, and another when you do not would be nice.
70. Newlin (User/Character portrait from phone)
I'm not sure if this would be difficult or not but the ability to upload a user or character picture from your phone would be nice.
71. Draco (Salvage Yard Named Items)
If we use a named item in the salvage yard can we get the remaining time and the name changed to the main weapon we are changing?
72. Wasp (Lost BA forging)
I got another one. Not sure if anyone else gets this but when I first start forging on my phone in the morning it just refreshes the page BUT it costs me a BA. So although it's still cool to touch, I only have 159 BA.. Strange :)
73. Eury (Train Page bonus/malus)
Somewhere, either on the Equip or Train page, there could be a summary of the total bonuses/maluses that come with your current equipped gear. (On each minion, not the team as a whole.)
AdminShade August 31 1:17 AM EDT
#39 has my vote!
DrAcO5676 August 31 6:31 AM EDT
That should already happen. Or, are you saying you want the naming on the sacrificed item to transfer over?
Yes as in the naming on the sacrificed item i would like to carry over
AdminNightStrike August 31 11:26 AM EDT
eh.. I'm not so sure about that one. My gut reaction is to say no, unless you can think of a compelling reason why it should. The item is being destroyed. Besides, then what happens to the name on the item that is converted?
AdminNightStrike August 31 11:27 AM EDT
38: ok :)
QBPheasant Plucker August 31 11:41 AM EDT
OB, If you delete the current PR/MPR pages, and then rename the P and MP pages, it *should* edit all the links for you. At least, most wikis do that kind of thing.
I don't think ours does, as you cannot mark dead a page that is being linked to. Both the PR/MPR pages and the MP/P pages have pages linking to them.
AdminNightStrike August 31 11:54 AM EDT
Interesting... it looks like Jon is the one who renamed Power Rating to Power. That's annoying.
dudemus August 31 11:57 AM EDT
now that you mention it i do seem to remember him explaining that in a post.
AdminNightStrike August 31 12:02 PM EDT
Can you find it?
dudemus August 31 12:03 PM EDT
i will try to locate it, i won't enjoy it though! ; )
dudemus August 31 12:11 PM EDT
can you give me the date that he changed that wiki page by chance?
dudemus August 31 12:15 PM EDT
nm, found it:

AdminNightStrike August 31 3:19 PM EDT
Well... that's dumb.
dudemus August 31 3:22 PM EDT
what is dumb? jon's clunky reasoning or the fact that i can remember such a meaningless post after almost 2.5 years yet cannot remember what my wife asked me to do for her today?
AdminNightStrike August 31 3:32 PM EDT
The former. The latter is called "getting old" :)
DrAcO5676 August 31 5:14 PM EDT
eh.. I'm not so sure about that one. My gut reaction is to say no, unless you can think of a compelling reason why it should. The item is being destroyed. Besides, then what happens to the name on the item that is converted?
So I was thinking more along the lines of what if you paid for the naming on the consumable weapon then bought a bigger one (non named for this example)... now you have to name that one... well it would be nice to just be able to DE your old one and use the base weapon that is named as your consumable... it would transfer the naming over to this new bigger weapon that you have bought...
My biggest thing IMHO is I know several of us like to put together themes and would like to stick with their theme on their characters... but when you have to upgrade your weapons sometimes it is difficult to keep up with the upgrades and is much easier to just buy a new weapon thats larger...
AdminNightStrike August 31 5:21 PM EDT
That's less salvage yard stuff and more general "transfer a name" stuff.
For instance, if you insta up'd a 100m NW weapon to a 200m NW weapon, you aren't going to destroy the 100m NW weapon in the salvage yard just to save the name.
I suppose transferring a name would be viable, maybe at the expense of a month or so on the time remaining.
DrAcO5676 August 31 5:23 PM EDT
Well I'm sure you wouldn't destroy a 100 mil weapon but you might DE it all the way to base and then transfer the name over... even if you might be able to get more money out of it with an insta... its just a matter of preference over a name I guess...
DrAcO5676 August 31 5:24 PM EDT
But I do see how a transfer a name thing would prolly be easier to implement and use...
Ankou August 31 10:29 PM EDT
Here's an idea: Currently, when creating a new thread, you are presented with two examples of bad thread titles and two good thread titles. But, these are general examples that are not forum topic specific. Could we tailor this message to the specific forum your making a new thread in? For example:
FS/WTB might have:
bad:I WANNA BUY THIS NOW, Where da the market at?
good: FS MgS, WTB DB 100k NW
while PR might have
Bad:I just made a sketchy deal with NS, Sellin Base DB's
Good: Ankou/Mandos (there seems to only be one format, so one good)
This could better show not only what is acceptable overall for titles, but what the title format is as well as what is to be posted where.
QBPheasant Plucker August 31 11:08 PM EDT
IDK, I am currently wishing that I had made a PR once upon a time with that very title used as an example of a bad one... ;)
Zenai August 31 11:09 PM EDT
On thing that hits me a lot.....threads closing too quickly like Public Record, and Services simply because of how old it is. My idea is to make a cash sink and solve a bit of clutter in the forums.
An option to pay for an extention on threads to keep them open. If paying is not an option then some way, any way to extend the life of threads in Services and Public Record. This idea could go for other threads but I figured since these were the longest of the bunch more often than not it should only apply to them.
Demigod August 31 11:20 PM EDT
Couldn't we just make an exception for PR threads? I agree that they close too soon (as many loans take more than 1 month to pay off), but I disagree with any charge to keep them open. That would just add a lot more coding, and few people would even use it.
Zenai August 31 11:32 PM EDT
Couldn't we just make an exception for PR threads?
Well FS/WTB is Special personally I do not see why PR and Services Shouldn't be either. On a side note why not just Merge PR and Services since honestly they are inter-related and often are used interchangeably. Makes sense to me in the same way FS and WTB is on the same forum.
AdminNightStrike August 31 11:35 PM EDT
Because SNK flipped out that we were posting Loan service advertisements in PR.
Zenai August 31 11:52 PM EDT
Ok not to sound obnoxious here but uh.... SNK is gone(much respect to him!) so what is stopping progress now then?
AdminNightStrike September 1 12:16 AM EDT
Because after he tried to bulldog service providers into FS/WTB, I came up with the marvelous idea of a separate forum for services :)
Remember, it used to be for forging.
Zenai September 1 12:21 AM EDT
I have a 3 year gap where I was not actively playing CB so nope dont remember....lol I understand though and was just looking at it from a Threads created standpoint. PR and Services are used interchangeably more often than not and it tends to lean to PR. since Services is barely used why not just merge them and get it over with.
Natasha' September 1 12:26 AM EDT
I use services and personally like it. There are a few things that it allows that PR doesn't really allow. Like looking for forgers or loans or posting that you are advertising for either of those. I don't think posting that you are looking for a tat leveler in PR is a good place to post.
Zenai September 1 12:35 AM EDT
Meh it's a same difference with FS/WTB Nat. At any rate it's not a biggie, it was just a passing idea that's all.
Demigod September 1 6:58 AM EDT
Shire - Kill it. For usability, it confuses new players by giving them the false impression that no one else is playing.
Zenai September 1 7:09 AM EDT
Make Shire for the Tutorial only. Afterall in the story it was only a starting point right?
Windwalker September 1 7:19 AM EDT
On the 24 hour battle summary page there's a button for 24 hour battle summary?
Eurynome Bartleby September 1 7:22 AM EDT
This makes me think of something...The game has now been around for quite a long time, how about adding a realm for people who've been here for 5 years or more? Being in Gondor used to be nice, as a "medal" of sorts, but I feel it's no longer a big deal. One year of playing CB doesn't mean as much as it did in 2005-06.
Would that qualify as a "paper cut"?
(Also, tutorial-only Shire +1)
Zenai September 1 10:02 AM EDT
Well I have always felt that the realms should be by MPR or Regen Rate and time in the game be by something else. Maybe a Badge or Recognition by a God that shows on the players home page.
Example Given -
For 2 years of Service:
This player has the Badge of Varda!
Or
Tulkas Recognizes "Players Name" for his/her Strength.
Honestly it could be anything I was just throwing the idea out there.
ScrObot September 1 1:06 PM EDT
Make the "Play-by-play" setting on the battle page stick instead of having to re-set it once or twice a day. (=
ScrObot September 1 1:31 PM EDT
* If you go to a user's profile and click Auctions and there aren't any, a blank screen is shown. Display "No auctions found" or something other than a blank screen.
* Add 3 Days, 1 Week and 1 Month to the "Restrict to interval:" dropdown on the transfer log and store purchases pages (reached via a user's profile).
Transfer page:
* The link on the main transfer screen should be renamed from "Make Assignments" to "Continue" or something else
* The link on the confirmation screen should be renamed from "Continue" to "Make Assignments" or something else
* On the confirmation screen, display the "Optional note" that was entered on the previous screen
* On the confirmation screen, when loaning items, display the loan period (I think this alone would cut down on the number of accidental 1 hour loans when the user meant to permanently transfer something)
(Optional note and loan duration could be added as new lines where the Transfer Fee line is.)
* Move the "Assign?" column to the first column next to the item name -- it's difficult to tell what you're selecting with a wide browser window
QBGentlemanLoser September 1 1:55 PM EDT
A Toggle for the Transfer page to set Loan or Perm as default.
AdminNightStrike September 1 5:03 PM EDT
A Toggle for the Transfer page to set Loan or Perm as default.
No. Complain to dudemus about the current default.
AdminNightStrike September 1 5:04 PM EDT
* On the confirmation screen, display the "Optional note" that was entered on the previous screen
* On the confirmation screen, when loaning items, display the loan period (I think this alone would cut down on the number of accidental 1 hour loans when the user meant to permanently transfer something)
Both of these are ok
dudemus September 2 7:21 AM EDT
could we possibly add a link next to get more to make it look like this:
0 (get more / all)
if you click on the all option it just buys all of your ba with no confirmation box or typing in of numbers. this would help mobilize the game a bit and make purchasing ba, at least when wanting to get all at once, a one-step process.
Zenai September 2 10:12 AM EDT
I agree with Dudemus on that, it takes a bit long on a phone.
Also I would like to say I would like to be able to stipulate the times on a loan a bit more. Say maybe instead of 1-3-6-12-24 Hour, 1 Week why not on an Hourly/Daily basis and up to a Month.
A 2 day Loan woul be just as cool as a 2 Hour loan or a 2 Week loan. I'm not trying to kill rentals but I think this would make loans a lot better.
Meteor Phoenix September 3 12:18 AM EDT
If you have more than 1 unretired characters that can be unretired, the game will try to unretire more than 1 together. Is it possible to do a check box to retire just one or the other (or more?)
ScrObot September 3 1:32 PM EDT
* On the Items Overview pages, each row says "owned by" a user, however it is really "held by" since if you are renting or loaning an item, whoever is holding it is shown as the "owner", rather than the true owner. Ideally the true owner would be shown.
* Besides manually calculating MPR percentages, there's no way to know what BA regen rate you're at unless you get to the Out of BA page (or manually keep track of your BA totals every 20 minutes). This information doesn't need to be as "hidden" as it currently is. There's enough room in the BA box in the left frame for "(X BA every 20 mins)" in a small font I think, or it could be put on your account screen somewhere (which may make more sense, you don't really need to see that stat every second you're on, plus it's account-wide rather than party-specific).
e.g.
Member since May 6, 2010
Realm: Rivendell
Member of Band of Wookies
BA regen rate: 7 every 20 minutes
Zenai September 5 6:44 PM EDT
Something else that came to mind for me.
Clan Loan Vault
A lot of the time I am personally loaning things to various clan members. Normally this is just something nice to do until they are able to buy said item or get one of their own. However, this can become a detriment to the clan if there is a mix up or a late reloan when it is really needed. I feel it would be far more easy to simply pop items into the Clan Loan Vault and let the members who need them simply pick them off of the rack so to speak.
Just a thought.
Natasha' September 5 8:23 PM EDT
On the side bar when using a tourney character it your challenge bonus is based off of t-score but your opponents show just score. Can we get the side bar to track t-score instead of score when a tourney character is the active character?
ScrObot September 5 10:42 PM EDT
When splash damage from a Sling of Death kills a minion, the battle cry for the SoD's wielder does not get displayed. (If the SoD kills the initially targeted minion, the battle cry is displayed correctly.)
I suppose this could be by design, but until I understood it, it was a little confusing how opponent minions were dying but there wasn't a battle cry indicating who had killed them.
ScrObot September 6 2:25 AM EDT
Loaned and rented items can't be distinguished from owned items with the same stats. I've personally come across this a number of times; for example I was renting an HoC+7 and bought one with the same stats, and wasn't able to tell which one was which for upgrade purposes until the rental was returned.
Two different, but not mutually exclusive suggestions:
1. Add an indicator (could be a small icon, or something like [L] for loaned and [R] for rented) to the item, viewable on the equip, blacksmith, forge and transfer screens.
2. On the Manage screen where the rented and loaned items are detailed, add a column titled "On Character" or something, which lists which party the item is equipped on or in storage on. If it's equipped on a minion, put the minion's name in parenthesis.
(Technically you can put the "duplicate" items on two different characters then try to auction them to figure out which isn't yours, but that's hardly a user-friendly way of identifying them.)
Zenai September 6 7:44 AM EDT
A New Section Added to Rentals.
Char Rentals
A lot of the time I have heard that some one wished the had not experimented with a strat or that they only needed a char for a small amount of time. Well why buy when you can reant?
Set up 2 Options: Forge and Fight (Some prefer their chars to do one or the other)
Under each option 2 More Options: Regular(No Retrains) and Experiment(Allows Retrains)
Something like this could benefit CB in general as it would help make a new way:
To get cash out of old chars,
Settle wasted NCBs through prior hands on experimentation,
Help players to get what they really need out of their purchases,
and
Finally it would help with the disposable character system that has developed.
Just another thought from yours truly........
Zenai September 11 2:07 AM EDT
Just bringing it back to the spotlight.
DoS September 11 5:19 PM EDT
I would like a T filter added to the store purchase log, but not set as default :P.
Natasha' September 12 5:34 PM EDT
I don't think this is a paper cut but i will post it in here anyways. Reworking the PR for weapons. Namely that it be based upon the minion's exp and not be a set increase to PR. This will make it a bit gentler for most people in using weapons and eliminate a potential way to abuse growth.
Lord Bob September 13 9:32 PM EDT
Not sure if this was already posted, and I'm not about to read 220 posts.
Can we get the minimum bid displayed on the auction page? The text box doesn't always auto-update, and I'm getting rather tired of entering an amount and hitting enter only to be told my bid was too low.
AdminNightStrike September 13 10:07 PM EDT
LB - what do you mean that the box doesn't auto-update?
dudemus September 13 10:22 PM EDT
i think he means when someone has a proxy bid and you make a bid. it tells you that you have been outbid but doesn't update the new amount you need to put in to be higher than the upped proxy bid.
Lord Bob September 13 11:09 PM EDT
LB - what do you mean that the box doesn't auto-update?
Let's say I bid on two auctions. I bid $10,000 on Auction A. When I go to Auction B, where there are already bids exceeding $50,000 and the min bid is (for example) $55,000, the text box still reads $10,000 from my previous bid. I don't know what the min bid is.
i think he means when someone has a proxy bid and you make a bid. it tells you that you have been outbid but doesn't update the new amount you need to put in to be higher than the upped proxy bid.
That too.
I know other people have posted about this as well.
