EM Asiantam	for tinkering quest
Mesanna	no clue what quest
EM Asiantam	tinkering
EM Asiantam	he is talking about the rewards
Mesanna	is he talking about bod rewards?
EM Asiantam	no
Mesanna	We are not changing old quest
Mesanna	what we have done is redone the BOD system adding tinkering and other skills in the game
Mesanna	if he can tell us exactly what quest
Mesanna	we can look at the item to see if its supposed to be recharable
EM Asiantam	Ameria's tinkering quest
EM Asiantam	he will show you later
EM Asiantam	can you show me the tool?
Mesanna	its Amella's Toolbox
Mesanna	what about it
EM Asiantam	so it used to have 500 charges
EM Asiantam	now 300
EM Asiantam	she wants it recover
EM Asiantam	like other rewards
EM Asiantam	we have for blacksmithy for example
EM Asiantam	is that possible?
Mesanna	ok a while back
EM Asiantam	rechargeable?
Mesanna	this is due to a fix
Mesanna	from when players were able to transfer off TC!
Mesanna	anything not on TC can not have more than 300 charge
Mesanna	charges
Mesanna	and even though this was supposed to have 500
Mesanna	we can fix this
EM Asiantam	so can you fix it now?
Kyronix	We have to publish to fix it
EM Asiantam	thank you
Mesanna	Greetings
EM Asiantam	swamp dragon armor
EM Asiantam	can you create this kind of armor for other pets?
Mesanna	we are not doing that at this time
Mesanna	we have something else in mind
Mesanna	so players can identify their pets
Mesanna	I think you guys will like it
EM Asiantam	looking forward to it
EM Asiantam	thank you
Mesanna	Greetings
EM Asiantam	hello
EM Asiantam	can you add an option to the client
EM Asiantam	to ignore other players casting?
EM Asiantam	because I cant follow th logs
EM Asiantam	during the event
EM Asiantam	I want to listen to the story
Mesanna	you mean besides ignore player?
EM Asiantam	yep
EM Asiantam	because there are so many casting
EM Asiantam	all logs are gone
EM Asiantam	he cant follow the story
Mesanna	probably a little harder than you think but I will let Bleak answer this one
Bleak	We will have to look into this feature.
Bleak	Seeing that we have two clients. I would like to investigate this more before commiting. Thank you
Mesanna	Greetings
EM Asiantam	he is requesting you to make power scrolls and some items to be shard bound,
EM Asiantam	not all
EM Asiantam	about 10% or so
EM Asiantam	because
EM Asiantam	all items are going to Atlantic
EM Asiantam	he doesn't want those items go to Atlantic
Mesanna	That would not be a smart move on our part
Mesanna	some items are but I do not feel it would be best to do that
EM Asiantam	a little>
EM Asiantam	please?
EM Asiantam	maybe 10% of all drops
EM Asiantam	so he ca buy items on Wakoku
EM Asiantam	can
Mesanna	*nods*
Mesanna	I do understand
Mesanna	its not that easy though
Mesanna	we have make decisions that are good for everyone
Mesanna	we will talk as a team
Mesanna	and see ir we can come up with a fair decision on how to handle this
EM Asiantam	thank you
Mesanna	Greetings
EM Asiantam	house customizing
EM Asiantam	there is an interior decorator tht we can change the height
EM Asiantam	can you add a tool that we can change it to different direction
EM Asiantam	south
EM Asiantam	north
EM Asiantam	west and east
EM Asiantam	horizontally
EM Asiantam	not height
EM Asiantam	move it 1 South
EM Asiantam	1 West
EM Asiantam	move an item
Mesanna	oh moving it a tile?
Mesanna	interesting idea
EM Asiantam	interesting :)
EM Asiantam	is it possible? :)
Mesanna	yes
EM Asiantam	nice
EM Asiantam	looking forward to it
EM Asiantam	:)
Mesanna	*nods*
EM Asiantam	cant commit when though?
EM Asiantam	adding into list?
Mesanna	no we have to make sure people can not put stuff in walls doing this
Mesanna	or outside of their house
Mesanna	etc
Mesanna	so no we have to do testing before we commit to it
EM Asiantam	ok
EM Asiantam	thank you
Mesanna	greetings
EM Asiantam	I want to use may Mage more frequentl;y
EM Asiantam	can you add mobs suitable for mage
EM Asiantam	to fight
Mesanna	in your opinion what is suitable?
EM Asiantam	for instance
EM Asiantam	mobs only slayable with magic spell
EM Asiantam	not by weapons
EM Asiantam	because he wants to use his mage more frequently
EM Asiantam	something specific to mage
EM Asiantam	:)
Kyronix	It's something we can look at, but it's difficult to make mobs like that
Kyronix	If we did something like that, it would be a special part of a dungeon or something
EM Asiantam	thank you
EM Asiantam	understood
Mesanna	Greetings
EM Asiantam	good evening
EM Asiantam	I have a request
EM Asiantam	I want something like Davie's locker for cloth
EM Asiantam	I am collecting NPC cloth
EM Asiantam	and they have a huge volume
EM Asiantam	is that possible?
Mesanna	hrm not sure
Mesanna	because the cloth is in many stages
Mesanna	bolts, cut etc
EM Asiantam	something she can keep cloth
EM Asiantam	by hues
Mesanna	it would be harder to do
EM Asiantam	understood
EM Asiantam	thank you
Mesanna	Greetings
EM Asiantam	Hello
EM Asiantam	Asuka New Magincia now has a property up to 1000M
EM Asiantam	she wants to use it in some way
EM Asiantam	and her idea is
EM Asiantam	to set a portal crystal
EM Asiantam	in front of the banks
EM Asiantam	how about adding this function to city stone
EM Asiantam	so governor can add a portal to their banks
EM Asiantam	crystal portal she means
EM Asiantam	what do you think?
Mesanna	Thru all the requests I can see going to stables more than banks
EM Asiantam	going to be city stone function?
EM Asiantam	or any other ways?
Mesanna	we will talk about this
Mesanna	as a team
Mesanna	but thank you for the idea
EM Asiantam	looking forward to it!
EM Asiantam	thank you
EM Asiantam	:)
Mesanna	greetings
EM Asiantam	in previous Devs meet & greet
EM Asiantam	there has been talked about the lag during the event
EM Asiantam	and you told us
EM Asiantam	there must be macroeing
EM Asiantam	to catch them
EM Asiantam	but there are many illegal tools not only for macroeing
EM Asiantam	looping or something like that
EM Asiantam	you wont catch them either?
Mesanna	if it can be proven yes the GM can do something about it
Mesanna	but if they are there then we can not catch them for macroing
EM Asiantam	how can we prove that
Mesanna	you can't the GM has to
Mesanna	GM has guidelines to handle this
Mesanna	if they are there they are not unattended macroing
EM Asiantam	but they catch no one if they are there
EM Asiantam	he is insisting there are many other third party tools except from macroeing
EM Asiantam	and he is also saying
EM Asiantam	some players are showing strange movement obviously
EM Asiantam	but you wont catch them?
EM Asiantam	that's all
Mesanna	thank you
Mesanna	Greetings
EM Asiantam	it's Halloween now
EM Asiantam	items that we can get by trick or treats
EM Asiantam	I was happy to see new items were added
EM Asiantam	but
EM Asiantam	there are old items too
EM Asiantam	and it makes hard to get new items
Mesanna	yes
Mesanna	and when we remove the old items
Mesanna	we will get complaints
Mesanna	they want them back
Mesanna	so we just add to them
EM Asiantam	some items we can get without GM skills
EM Asiantam	are they random?
Mesanna	yes its all random
EM Asiantam	some players are saying
EM Asiantam	there is no meaning to be a GM
Mesanna	then you will not get some of the items
EM Asiantam	because they can get those items by GM skills
Mesanna	there are skill levels involved
EM Asiantam	he wants to get a pumpkin deed.....!!!!
Kyronix	It's all random, but GM Beggars have a chance at special Trick or Treat items
EM Asiantam	please cross fingers so she can get her big pumpkin Mesanna
EM Asiantam	:D
EM Asiantam	there is a tool called (Edited)
EM Asiantam	and there are many players using this tool nowadays
EM Asiantam	it's increasing
EM Asiantam	it makes shard laggy
Mesanna	you mean multiboxing?
EM Asiantam	not multiboxing
EM Asiantam	it makes shard laggy and crash our clients sometimes
EM Asiantam	this tool
EM Asiantam	make players able to move together, cast together
EM Asiantam	which makes shard very laggy
EM Asiantam	so events these days
EM Asiantam	logs are filled with casting logs
EM Asiantam	can you do something with this situation?
Mesanna	we have already talked about multi boxing
Mesanna	and how we can handle it
Mesanna	the only way to stop it is to stop multi clienting
Mesanna	we will look into other ways to handle this
EM Asiantam	remember there was a player asked you to add an option to ignore other players' casting
EM Asiantam	I think this is very good idea
EM Asiantam	please add this
Mesanna	ok
Mesanna	thank you
Mesanna	Greetings
EM Asiantam	good evening
EM Asiantam	currently
EM Asiantam	books I can add in bookshelf are on;y 9
EM Asiantam	I think she means to line them up
EM Asiantam	can you improve this?
Mesanna	huh
Mesanna	sorry not following
EM Asiantam	she doesnt want to put container inside the bookshelf
EM Asiantam	she wants to add books in order :)
EM Asiantam	you know, in bookshelf
EM Asiantam	all books are stacked
EM Asiantam	cant put them in order
Mesanna	to be seen?
EM Asiantam	yep
EM Asiantam	so
EM Asiantam	she always add container inside
EM Asiantam	but she doesnt want to do that
EM Asiantam	because
EM Asiantam	it's a bookshelf!
EM Asiantam	:)
EM Asiantam	she is saying it is not beautiful
EM Asiantam	what do you think?
Mesanna	I am pretty sure that is beyond out ability, if she wants to take a current bookshelf
Mesanna	and add books in order to the shelves
Mesanna	do I have that correct?
EM Asiantam	for example
EM Asiantam	can you make it almost same as the inside of container
EM Asiantam	so she can line up books
EM Asiantam	now they all go stack
Mesanna	not sure we can do that but I will talk to the team about it
EM Asiantam	thank you!

EM Asiantam	do you have any future plan to do something with this?
Mesanna	we have put in steps to stop speedhackers
Mesanna	as far as the insurance bug
Mesanna	which bug specific are you speaking about?
EM Asiantam	it has not happened on me so I'm not sure bout the details
EM Asiantam	when players die
