I am aware that many events in the events list concerning fighting and hunting now look odd with #SKILL# or something similar added in between. This should disappear once these events expire and new events should look better. If not, there is really a bug :).

You have visible skills

The skills were already there. It really is depressing to see nearly all my characters (13/15) are novices or worse with weapons... :(

I still don't like the idea of skills, but I'm glad they're finally visible, at least.

I imagine there might be some high employee turnover in a lot of organizations because of this, expecially for guards...

Of course I already knew what my chars' hunting skills were, where it really comes in handy is in resource gathering and repairing and the like.

Eh. I hate that everyone can see how bad my character is at something. Can't even fake them out anymore. :lol:

Ah, Surly. I guess I shouldn't tell you then that most of mine appear to be better-than-novice.

I thin you know what I am going to say, Mortaine.

Seriously, this random stats for older characters makes all the other changes seem excellent. I'm starting to think a new account would be more enjoyable... all these changes are great if you have a newspawn, but don't the older players deserve some kind of benefit for loyalty to the game?

Instead of more and more changes to screw them more?

I don't want to kill my characters over this. I have inbvested ALOT of time in them, I refuse to be cowed by the chnages thrust on them. They may suck now, and have stats that directly contradict how I have RPed them for 30 Cantr years... but I will not condemn them to death.

The combat change is doing that for me...

Is the skill display still being worked on? I notice it doesn't show up for gathering grapes yet, and probaby a few other things.

What about a walking skill? (And for that matter, is a walking stick functional yet? I hope so - finally a way to speed up travel that doesn't involve a billion tons of steel! :) )

Hmm.. what weapon are you currently using? because theres skills for each individual weapon... Or weapon type at least. If you have a crossbow I sudjust trading in for a Sabre and if you have a sabre I sudjust you trade it in for a crossbow.
