Sounds like a simple thing to Envoy

"Leprechauns, in addition to their current effect, should pick up all corpses killed by their owner (as well as all items dropped when the denizen/player is killed) and hand these items to their owner as per the skill Acquisitio."

You could even leave off the "and hand these items to their owner" part, but I personally would prefer the above effect (if I still played and was still a wiccan).

My question is why would something like that even cost power.

All fae cost power.

In practice, leprechaun doesn't actually cost power because it's 0p to summon on ethereal and there's no reason NOT to summon on ethereal.

Ah. I wasn't around for that change.

It's a really nice change. Crone, barghest, slaugh, redcap and mother still cost 1p, though, and maiden still costs like...8.

Why is this thread going on for three pages?

If you don't like the way acqusitio works (which many people like), you can code your own auto-get triggers fairly easily.

...

Uh, wow. I think the lot of you are being complete asses to Critter, who seems to have done nothing but suggest a convenient change to Acquisitio. Critter isn't whining, ranting, complaining, or attacking anyone, yet she receives all of that in turn. What's gotten into everyone?

If you looked, some of it was actually discussion of leprechauns, a tangential but related topic

She acted like she wasn't reading any of our posts and continued to argue when good alternatives were proposed. See:



I.e. "some of you are idiots because you don't agree with me".



I.e. "read my posts, idiots." (Hypocrisy!)

I could cut that down to like 2 if you'd just say "Hey Lendren, sing for a moment for me, would you?" But no one ever does, even on days when I'm on my megalaggy connection and just sitting there.

Spiritsingers can give the four defs? Nice.

No, they can lower the chance a maiden vanishes by a lot.

And here is where I'd make a lewd joke involving maidens and strumming lutes, but really, I don't think it's needed.

Did they ever fix maiden so that it's not just completely random, and you only get things you need? Or does she still just give you random buffs you already have and fill up your endurance when it's already maxed and such? Her affliction healing portion is pretty damned useless if all you ever do is summon her five times to buff with and never again until you die.

They never fixed maiden.

Let me post a few examples here...this is smartass comment number 1. I clearly never said it would rake in millions just that convenience features helps.

Smartass comment number 2.



How fun! An idea thread is considered whinning. Or wait, is that only for folks you don't agree with?

Smartass comment number 3. Also, to the person who posted this: Please note this, and your serious lack of reading comprehension:



Smartass comment number 4. Clearly, when debating an opposite opinion from some forum users, I did indeed cause you people to become assholes!

I will add that I did not ignore your arguments. I find them useless when something could be coded into the game itself to make things easier on the customers. I'm not clueless enough to think that with the right client knowledge, I couldn't code a corpse pickup myself.

Smartass comment/entire post of the month! Dun dun dun DUN!



Again, I never even came close to this representation you've come up with in your pitiful thought process.


Now, let's see. Did I offer OTHER alternatives. Therefore, offering other ways around the problem. Which could make everyone happy. And not only sticking to my original suggestion:



Well, what do you know? It seems I wasn't in the wrong with this one.


The fact of the matter is this, kiddies. I offered a suggestion. You folks didn't like my suggestion. Which would have been perfectly alright with me. Yet, instead of debating in a polite manner, I got all these replies that I've just REposted.

That is why I ranted. I wasn't all upset because you disagreed. I was pissed because of -how- you disagreed.

Surely, you don't think I should sit back and take comments like that without posting my two cents worth.


Let me give some of you a bit of advice. Every single thing you say (or type) can be done properly. There is a right and a wrong way. If you're going to be rude and sarcastic, don't get your bloomers in a wad if your target counters your tone. Disagreeing with someone doesn't mean you should do so badly.

and here i really tried being a smart ass and didnt even make the list... kind of sad now

and can't leprechaun steal from people too?

Except, we weren't. Yes, I've read what you just posted. You give vague reasons such a change is needed, and we reply that it would be a trivial change that isn't worth the time it would take. We're not even really disagreeing with you, we just have varying opinions of how important it is to allocate time and effort toward. You seem to be oversensitive and resort quickly to insults, then seem surprised when you receive like in return.

Since noone else has said it, and, you know, I just love playing the thug:

Go back to (Aetolia/Imperian/Achaea, pick appropriate).

Thank you.

That felt good.

Acquisitio is a ritual designed to invoke greed, anyway. Just like Rubeus forms a shield of negative emotions against things like fear and panic. "I must collect.. have more corpses! Mine, all mine! Forever and e - oh, that's his. I'll just not take that then."

I continue to indorse this statement. I suppose having toggleable atuppickup would be ok, but it's low on my priorities list, next to fishing.
