The trading card effects...

Crow · #1 12-23-2007, 03:55 PM

Are ****ing annoying. The small size one is bugged so it sometimes hides the GUI and player nicks (dont ask me how, I have no idea) if somebody uses it, giant thing is just annoying, the auras are annoying, and shrink + stealth makes you almost invisible on Era if you stand on snow.

I seriously demand an option to disable that stuff.

Crow · #3 12-23-2007, 04:28 PM

Here you go, screenie of things ****ing up. Left (outside of the screen) theres somebody using small size and stealth. Only seems to happen with sizing effetcs.

xAzerothx · #4 12-23-2007, 06:59 PM

I don't think they'll allow it to be disabled since people paid for it. What's the point of stealth if you can disable it and see us?

Crow · #5 12-23-2007, 07:32 PM

Fun for the people which have it turned on. I demand something to disable it, if you can stealth you can have a huge advantage over other players.

Pimmeh · #6 12-23-2007, 08:20 PM

I think that is the point of the cards

DustyPorViva · #7 12-23-2007, 08:28 PM

What's everyone talking about? A little detail, please?

xAzerothx · #8 12-23-2007, 08:35 PM

There's a card that makes you invisble which makes you harder to see and to hit if you're playing a shooting server. A card that makes you bigger and a card that makes you smaller. Which also makes you harder to hit. There's also two flashy aura cards that are just for show.

cbk1994 · #9 12-23-2007, 08:40 PM

Like any game, they make stuff that would never otherwise be allowed on a server because it is too unfair to other players, and then sell it for actual money because everyone absolutely has to have it.

Rufus · #10 12-23-2007, 08:50 PM

On Unholy Nation I was pissing everyone off in the spar room with my flashing lights, it was great. Yeah Crow, I agree.

DustyPorViva · #11 12-23-2007, 09:01 PM

One thing they should never do is add anything that could effect the gameplay of another server. They could have at least talked to the managers of the classic servers if they hadn't.

They work on every server by default unless they're server-specific items, hence Crow's request. I've attached a picture in UN's Town Center spar, and you can see the "Shrink" and "Ring Aura" effect. The worst is the effect which makes you invisible, and these thing can be used everywhere.

I only have a problem with Stealth, if you're going to give people who are paying yet another advantage, it's only a small step away from countless disadvantages for the poorer folk.

Have you tried sparring someone who has grown or shrunk themselves? Sparring is a big part of the gameplay on most servers.

If someone brings one of those on Vesporia I'll ban 'em.

Being invisible in a pkfest is cheaper than being a midget in spar.

Regardless, the effects suck.

No, probably not, because Vesporia is staff-only at the moment anyhow.

Dan · #19 12-24-2007, 12:01 PM

Well it is true that the cards are messing up some graphics. I am experiencing this on Zone with the radar also. Stefan's on "vacation" now though, which means it cannot be fixed that fast. I guess he's back in the new year.

unixmad · #20 12-24-2007, 12:37 PM

Not a good idea in my point of view if your server want to stay on Graal.

That's a first try we will make better next time, your ideas for improving are welcome.

My ideas for improving are options to disable this on your client. I mean, why not? If you dont want to see those effects, like for example on Era where they dont fit the whole theme at all, you can just disable them.

Twinny · #23 12-24-2007, 02:47 PM

It would be cool if you actually had trading cards to fit the servers themselves. Say on Zodiac. That way you could have a few zodiac theme'd cards which deliver a bonus more suited to Zodiac. One bonus could give your character a special follow-me <something> npc.

As for disabling them, perhaps a certain function which turns them off for things like events/spars.

I feel the burn.

Tracker180 · #25 12-25-2007, 06:42 AM

the stealth should make you harder to hit, just harder to see, I tried to spar sumone that had just started playing a few days ago and they had stealth and my shots went straight through them..and that's when the Zone attitude kicked in, man I have never seen such language

At least let us be able to disable them at certain times.
Like when players are in cars on Utopia - it doesn't fit in AT ALL.

I have. Your 2-axis cars defies the concept of momentum and can also turn all 4 directions on the spot without actually moving. What the hell?

[Update, Baby!]: Got bored so I made a car system which can actually drive in circles and has momentum. 5 minutes and I didn't have to steal code

. Up next: drifting, nos and car upgrades

. Hmm...perhaps gears for the more racier models....
