• Disabled weapons are now represented by a faded out button rather than hiding it, allowing you to open your quick favorites even if you have a PK weapon equipped in a non-PK area.

This seems to have the unfortunate side effect of not letting you use the faded button to 'eat' bushes or bombs with your mount.


Unrelated - I would like to highlight how much thought went into the favorite folder sidebar.

When selecting items that go into your favorites folder, they appear in the folder in the order you obtained them in the game (sourced, I'm guessing, from the 'All' folder).

When you open the sidebar, however, the order of items (top to bottom) that are taken from the favourites folder appear in the order you selected them for entry in the favourites folder.

Super cool.  

I said it all Pyrat-ey though  

Mod library should be updated,RideOrDies is the 8th guild to hit 5k hours  

The random bomb switch thing is neat, but doesn't function with the recently added bomb/arrow combo shot. You get randomized arrows, but the bombs revert to default  

Nice.. previous is fixed  

Can you make it so we can get rid of the extra gems from the mod carnival Accessory quest thing, Also can we get a way to get rid of quest items  

Better yet, let us hold them up over our head?  

Just noticed accessories do not disappear when riding ice skates in Snow Town anymore. My beard was still on my character's face, and the ice skates themselves look a tad bit better.  

The arrow+bomb are only being used as the quickest way to suicide on 0.5 hp. The players who suicide at 0.5 are now using the arrow and bomb. Making it impossible to kill them at 0.5 hp. It's super rare for the arrow+bomb to be used otherwise, honestly either dont allow them to kill themselves using this new technique or remove it  

I'd much prefer suicides to have some kind of penalty. For those trying to reach PK leaderboards, it can be really frustrating when a lot of other competitors rob you of a pk opportunity by killing themselves. It's petty. Suicide in graal to avoid a death to someone else is just scummy.  

Suicide should 100% have a penalty.
Something like taking you out of the action and to a safe space where you can think about what you've done. Sort of like when you would die before and show up in a random nearby bed...

I could understand the debate on both sides if one were to say how it doesn't matter, but it is, in a sense, abusing and taking advantage of the scoreboard in a minute way. The problem I see is this behavior seems to be contagious. The last time I PK'd, with a large group of 8 Pkers and myself, all of them would suicide at 0.5 and then hop right back into the action.

The only time any of us would really get any pks is when some random would walk by with 0.5 and became targeted, and they would try and kill me since I have a lot of fun trying to survive and troll around at 0.5.

It's petty and strange, because there honestly isn't any other reason to kill yourself other than to prevent somebody else from getting a PK. Not to mention, with the bomb and arrows, it's the easiest way to get back to 3.0HP... It isn't really fair to regular players, even if this seems like a very trivial issue. It's just ridiculous.

There's just nothing more frustrating then pking against an entire group that suicides every chance they get.  

Only bad PKers suicide. Only bad PKers can't hit someone before they get the chance to suicide. There is more than enough opportunity to hit them before they get the chance. You can get a swing/arrow in when they cancel their blink to die. The only reason they suicide is to make you upset.

I see two ways to penalize suiciding.
1) Add deaths to profiles, again
2) Make all deaths (suicide, pking, bking, except spar deaths/losses (stupid how these count as deaths)) drop your arrows/bombs.

I prefer option one, but option two would be effective.

If you are in towers and have trouble with suiciders you can prevent it by spamming the bombs you pick up in the corners of the towers. The less bombs in circulation, the less suicides that occur. If they keep coming back with more, be happy you're making them waste gralats.

It's not hard to run away into the spike room in sards, super easy to suicide there if you cant kill them it doesn't mean you're a bad pker. In destiny it's not as easy but still annoying .
The main problem now is the new arrow+bomb technique, its almost impossible to kill them when they use it.  

People suicide at 0.5 HP for two reasons:

1. To defend tower flags more safely
2. To deny PKers and discourage them

#1 is completely valid and #2 is just stupid. You can fix #2 without altering how #1 works by just giving the kill to the last player to hit the suicider. And yes, the Fireblast ability (Arrow + Bomb) is cool, but it's only practical use is to instantly suicide when a PKer is chasing you.
