 Posted: 12/30/03 - 17:38 Post subject: Graveyard Zone and Tradeskill UI
|

From EQ's Main Website
Graveyard Zone
Tired of losing your corpse? The current EQ system removes corpses from the game after a week to reduce clutter and potential video lag. But we know there are times when your character dies and you just can't get it right away. Next thing you know a day turns into a week and BAM! Your corpse is gone. Since we can't leave the corpses sitting in game indefinitely, some inventive folks here have come up with another option.
We plan to create a "graveyard" zone that will only work if your corpse has decayed and disappeared. If you have lost your corpse due to decay in other parts of Norrath, you will be allowed to enter this zone and reclaim it.
Tradeskill Interface Upgrade
Tired of all the clicking and dragging needed just to make a type 1 wood arrow? We know that the current tradeskill interface is cumbersome, so the UI guys have come up with some new ideas.
Opening a tradeskill container will now open a new user interface. In the window you will find an area that has all recipes that are currently available to you. This includes recipes that are at your skill level as well as some above it. Clicking on a recipe will display what items are necessary for its completion. Clicking the "combine" button will extract those required items from the player's inventory, and perform the recipe combine, placing the results on the player's cursor. The new system is nice and neat, with no dragging and dropping unless you want to try a combine that is way out of your league, which uses the old style of combination.

it will probably look exactly like SWG or something
Graveyard zone is just for corpses that would have dissapeared forever not if you die in guk and are too suck to get your corpse back that day.

yeah I have to hand it to SWG their crafting UI and system is far superior to EQ. Not only does it show you all available recipes pertinent to your skill level, but it allows a bit of freedom meaning if you need "low-grade ore", there are about 5 types of low-grade ore you are not limited to 1 type with some exceptions. Even tho I do not think this versatility is going to come to EQ, the interface at least is nice.
-Nah-

Is it if they decayed ever? My druid and paladin have a couple rotter corpses full of gear.
If this is the case moglings corpses will litter this zone so bad they will have to make a zone caller moglingvile, Pile of the corpses.
