Five on Friday - February 6, 2009
Are there significant changes in how SA handles macros vs KR? Will there be any pass to unify the way SA and 2D clients handle macros so make it easier for people to convert?
This is still a work in progress. So far, we’ve added a legacy targeting mode which makes the new client perform much more like the “2D client” in terms of the way you choose to attack other mobs. We’ve also made a special category in the actions window for the “2d client” targeting actions that you guys are familiar with. We still have a few things we would like to get added but I can’t promise they will all make it in before launch:
- Provide a set of pre-fabricated macros for reference
- Add more tooltips to help guide the user in macro creation
- Being able to insert and remove actions from the middle of a macro
- Being able to import legacy macros into the new client
- Being able to export/import macros in the new client
Even if some of these proposed features do not make it in before launch, we will continue to work on the macro system and hope to get these improvements out in subsequent patches.

My guildmates and I have always wondered if HLD stacks. For example if you have the Mace & Shield Glasses with 30% Hit Lower Defense, will that stack with your weapons and other equipment with HLD?
All equipment with Hit Lower Defense rolls separately to see if their HLD effect is triggered. If the Hit Lower Defense effect is already on another player or creature and the HLD duration hasn’t expired, subsequent HLD effects only reset the duration.

If this is the case, then This is a bug. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Is there a summary of all of the test center commands that details how to set skills, get resources, etc.?
Say "help commands" and "help skills"

Hey I was just wondering when Magincia might be cleared up a little. I find it is getting a little boring having to deal with the Corrupted Souls to go to CoM faction base and giving CoM a rather large disadvantage and bringing about the unpopularity of the faction.
While the corrupted souls are remaining until the city rebuilding event, most of the debris (95%) has recently been removed. The building debris remains, but all the thousands of rubble/trash tiles have been deleted.

When will Magincia be fixed? Is there a way for the Felluca side to be fixed faster than the Trammel side? Faction fighting in a city that is destroyed and over-ran by ghosts is kinda hard...
Right now it’s meant for after the launch of Stygian Abyss – we’re ending the current story arc soon and beginning the Stygian Abyss story arc. I would imagine it could be something either facet could complete independently, just like the invasion itself was.

Fan Site News:
- The Adventures of Nexus the Thief: The Tale of a North American Tour by a Britannian Thief
- This is a new fan site dedicated to the Thief life style. I will be Cross Sharding to each North American Shard in turn (excepting Siege of Course)and recording my exploits. In order to accomplish this I plan to steal enough items to sell and buy Transfer Tokens from other players in order to move to the next shard. Along the way I will attempt to establish a branch of the Guild THIEF (made infamous by Chad Sexington) on each Server that does not currently have an incarnation of it. To keep things interesting for readers I won't be disclosing where I transfer to until the first episode on a new shard. The Overall goal is 100+ episodes before the journey ends which should take over a year to complete.
- There are currently a couple of episodes posted for the Atlantic Shard, from the past few days and I intend to add additional episodes as I go about my villainous journey.

Catskills
- Comments: The United Pirates of Catskills announce the next Black Market event for Feb. 7th, 8 pm EST!
- During this monthly recurring event you can sell, buy or trade your wares! This time, we will also raffle off prizes to those who solved the Ransom and Blood quest.
- The facts:
- Merchants can claim a personal market stand in the Black Market building, where they can advertise and sell their products. To do that, the merchants should enter the list of their products into the book locked down on their market stand (at least one day prior to the event, so people can come by and check on the items).
- The prices should be LOWER than the regular Luna vendor prices! Bargaining is encouraged!
- Are you looking for a certain item? You can post your request on the bulletin board out front of the Black Market. Merchants can check the board beforehand and have the appropriate items ready for sale. The board will be wiped after the Black Market is over.
- The Black Market building is located next to our Jolly Roger Inn in TRAMMEL:
