This thread should have died after the 6th post.

Acquisitio is fine. We don't need anything else, really, considering how few complaints (see: none until now) there are about it.

#TRIGGER {You have slain} {#TEMP {You have recovered} {get @target;get gold;get essence;put gold in pack}}

One line, actually.

Critter, auto-corpse grabs are for other less awesome games.

I have decided that you, sir, have failed the internet.

Besides, removes the purpose of ninja looters in the game.

As they said, just don't use it or make a trigger about it. Everything has its advantages/disadvantages. Make the use of it.

super new fix for this problem right here
SETALIAS J CHANT ACQUISITIO OFF
now when your not out bashing guess what you press j and blamo instant no random junk pickup

if you really wanted to add something pick the gold up too along with the corpse

You people are seriously beginning to sound a lot like your general IRE forum forumers. If you don't agree with a post, argue your point in a way that isn't, I dunno, in a smart ass tone? Posting idiotic crap like some of the posts I've read in this thread doesn't make you any more e-popular. If you're trying to impress me, you fail. If you're trying to impress any of the others who have been here for a while, I certainly hope they're not impressed with such child-like behavior.

You don't agree? Fine. We just have different opinions. You're going to post idiotic posts? You're making yourself look like an idiot and believe me when I say, no matter how big you think you're increasing your e-popularity, it does not help you IRL. You'll still be the same as you are now. Do smart assed comments somehow make you feel better about whatever might be lacking in your life? Great! I'm glad you find comfort here.


Edit: To clarify that some posters did post constructive posts, so these comments do not target those.

We're very nice here normally. People who keep pushing ideas and ignore completely reasonable counterpoints cause us to be assholes. Sorry for your luck.

theres no tone in type
but i dont think it really needs to be changed for such a small thing. why have people spend time on something so trival

I'm afraid you're wrong. I don't think anyone in this thread was trying to make themselves "more e-popular". You, on the other hand, are making yourself "less e-popular" with your behavior in this thread.

In case you don't understand once again, here's a summary of this thread:

Critter: Change acquisitio, plz.
Everyone else: Why?
Critter: I don't like it.
Everyone else: It's doing what it's supposed to do. Make a trigger if you don't like it.
Critter: WTF YOU GUYS ARE SO IMMATURE JUST GROW UP BECAUSE WHAT YOU POST DOESNT MAKE YOU COOL!!!!!
Everyone else: 'Kay...

Yeah...

Sorry but uh....no.

Guess what. It's not what features attract people.
Look at Armageddon

It's the benefits of those features that are the selling points, unfortunately, I left my essay about this at work (Sales), but let me just say that it doesn't matter if the product can do x y z b g j 7 and 4. If the customer is only going to use 3, it's of no use to them, but if they can use x and y to produce the same effect as 3, and you can relate everything else to the customer. Huzzah, Sale.

Think about it, do you buy a car because it gets you from a to b (Note: some people will), or did you buy -your- car because you -like- it?

EDIT: Features are about the product, benefits are about the user.

Besides... Aquisitio the way it is leads to funny things happening sometimes like someone picking up certain evil Eyes and killing everyone in a 10 mile radius. Now I'm gonna have to go find the thread with the log of that so I can giggle again...

Bah, that Eye was... um, evil. *mutter*

Yeah, only because any alias, no matter how many lines it is, shows up as one line in zMUD when you export it. Hair-splitter!

Oh please. It's called having a discussion. You know, two parties who have different points of view. They...present their opinions and the reasons for their opinions. I couldn't care less who DISAGREES. Sarcasm is certainly carried over into text. What was it one person posted..."you fail...". Posts like that are what I was commenting on. Not reasonable disagreeing posts. And I think I clarified that in my edit. If you'll be so kind as to actually read something before you join the small group of forum idiots. This example you posted is laughable. That's not what happened and you know it.

Alas, you folks have fun. I really do hope your game flourishes. I will say that Lusternia gets a lot of the Achaean players who grew tired of this sort of behavior. When you turn Lusternia into the same player mindset Achaea has, heh, good luck.

The only one that posted the pharse "you fail" was you, twice.

It's quite accurate, for a dramatization.



So, wait, you're saying that you want an acquisitio change but you don't even play?



This isn't a "player mindset". This is the community telling you that what you suggested isn't needed, the community giving you alternatives, and you pathetically making excuses to insult the other players. Also, forums != game.

Anyway, let's let this emo flamefest die. The most that can come out of it now is a few mod warnings.

Aquisitio does not need to be changed, I also agree with this. One thing came to mind is that perhaps a lesser version of Aquisitio as an ability to be enchanted. Something that picks up items only half the time so it won't be picking up everything in sight. I haven't came up with a name just yet but im sure there is one for it, to not be greedy yet to horde. Perhaps horde could work

You know what does need a change? Leprechaun. It's like a crappy pseudo-acquisitio that costs 1 power.

Doesn't leprechaun just need to be changed to auto hand stuff to you? Maybe just stuff you kill, but that'd be good enough...

Last I used him, he picked things up at what seemed like a slower rate, but I didn't test, so I don't know. He didn't, however, automatically pick up corpses, which was the only reason I'd ever need acquisitio or a clone of it.
