It sounds like a roundabout bug report/feature request. It's no secret that you don't actually have to know a password to buy something, just like you didn't need to be able to see the Blacktalon items to accidentally buy poisoned food, and you can sometimes accidentally buy out of a password-protected bin if there's an item with the same base noun elsewhere in the store.

This was fixed earlier. You can BUY ITEM CODE Purplepeopleeater.

So attunement doesn't offer DMP if the terrain of the location isn't the room's natural terrain?
Daganev2008-09-03 18:01:36
Now that transcendent environment gives you 100% chance to find hidden exits, can my goggle that find me hidden exits now show them permanently so I don't have to search for them?

Boo inadvertant nerf on an artifact!

We've been asking for that since the auction they premiered in, it would really, really be nice. If I have to spam SECRETS in every room even with the arti for it, I may as well just look at a map. Right now they're only really useful to cartographers and people who have to the first to explorer an area.

Yes well now, you don't even need the goggles, you can just use the normal secrets if you are trans environment.

In which case he should be offered the selling-price for the artifact tradein, since it's just been made useless!
Unknown2008-09-03 19:38:47
The goggles, they do nothing?
Unknown2008-09-03 19:40:09
They boost your ability to see secrets if memory serves. If you can see it 100% of the time though, why bother?
Sylphas2008-09-04 03:34:24
They also allow you to glance and observe without using equilibrium, so I doubt any refunds will be going out. They added that after it was pointed out that they're actually pretty lame with just 100% secrets that you still need to look for.
Kelysa2008-09-04 03:43:29
Maybe make it so that you can do secrets without using balance/eq?

This would be cool, and fit the rest of the stuff they do. Especially since secrets takes FOREVER compared to most things.

I can't cheer for them if I do not know what they do! Maybe they stink? Is there a rants thread yet?
