Try a cube.

It would have to be bigger than 4x4. What's the point of having another cube?

I think the inventory = backpack, so making another backpack won't make much sense.

You get bags of holding in baldurs gate, which you put in your backpack, which is pretty much the same thing.
Sounds like a good idea to me.

Well, same goes for NWN, you have magic bags (reduces weight), bags, box...

They need to add a feature that whenever you kill a monster, if it drops anything, theres a time limit in which you can pick it up and nobody else can. Maybe 10 seconds or so.
Why not just mule when you get full then you have a whole new set of space again.

Muling is agrivating and if you are doing cow runs it's annoying to have to stop.

Remember they mentioned the stash that the entire account shares? Muling will be easy if they actually do that.

Does anyone agree with my idea for the time limit where only the person that killed the monster that drops the items can pick the items up?

yea that sounds really good idea...

No, that means I can't pick up other people's Valor in Cows which I did take part in killing.

They've discussed this many a time, and it's been shut down everytime. The main reason being, leechers, what's stopping them from taking the last hit on a monster? You don't have to do much damage, just good timing and you could take items that you hardly took part in earning.

Then make it where whoever dealt th most damage gets the items.

Sorc will be in a sure-win then, then teleport, static until the monsters have 50% left, and orb/nova still do a lot of damage, I don't think other character can top her.

orb/nova still do a lot of damage
Sadly, they both do diddly shit damage in 1.10. With level 99 in all skills, orb does something like 2,000/shard. Nova supposedly does something like 11,000 each, but is way under that. You'd be better off going Glacial Spike / Lightning, or Blizzard / Charged bolt.
The Necromancer is now the kill machine, seeing that Corpse Explosion now racks up with the players. It basically takes 2 corpses to kill a pack of monsters in a given radius. Even 1 if you Amp damage on it, or lower resist works better for Physical or Fire immune, being CE is 50% Fire and 50% Phys.
Not to mention that Nova eats your mana, damn fast. Charged Bolt or Lightning should keep your mana at an ok range.

That's exactly why they should implement my idea.

Ok forget it, go with K_A's idea.
Yeah, Orb and Nova don't have much improvement in the patch comparing to other sorc's skills. However, I will still go with Orb if I'm to build a Cold sorc, the Area of Effect is still one of the best.

Actually I think glacial spike would be best, considering the damage and that it freezes enemies.
Senesia
2003-07-09, 02:29 PM
Glacial Spike, lv 20 (1 point in Ice Bolt, 1 point in Ice Blast)
247 - 266
Freeze for 4.2 sec
19.6 mana
Glacial Spike, lv 26 (7 points in I. Bolt, I. Blast) <-- I think the +skills from items won't give damage bonus....but not too sure at this point.
395 - 421
Freeze for 5 second
22.5 mana
Frozen Orb lv 26 (7 points in I. Bolt)
408-428
Cold Length 33 second.
33 mana

Try Blizzard, I find that to be best for multiple enemies. For single enemies, I'd go with Ice Blast, although I'm not sure if it does any good at low levels. I can tell you this much though, that Frozen Orb does suck in hell mode. You can try it out for yourself if you don't believe me. One possible reason might be that it has horrible casting delay, and Glacial Spike has none.
For fire tree, Fireball is now number one, with synergies and what not. It has no cast delay, a bit of splash, and can do insane legit damage.

Blizzard is fun to use. Haven't try it yet on beta, is it 100% chance to hit now? In the past it misses sometimes.
Not hell...:( Hell is a little too hard now for legit sorc. I did okay with a level 37 Orb, well, need to teleport around very often, but I killed them...after a while. Quite a while.

No, Blizzard doesn't have 100% chance to hit, but when it does, it can pack quite the punch compared to Frozen Orb. On a hacked char, skills all at 99, in 8 player game, it takes the High Council in the Travinical out in 2-3 Blizzards, compared to.... a lot of Frozen Orbs. Granted, it is doing 20,000 a shard and a few rain down, but for the supposed 3,000 a shard on orb, it does much better. I don't know why Frozen Orb doesn't do nearly as much as it should, but Blizzard, in my opinion, kicks much more ass than orb in 1.10.

probably cause Blizzard likes the spell cause it has their name
this sounds like something that will emerge in Diablo3

Just a comment:
Lvl 38 Orb + Ice Bolt = 848-886 Dmg.
Omg huge ass bonus... 1 orb on ama withouth absorb = owned.
They made it too strong. Oh and Cold Mastery can reach over 100% now.
So Senesia your wrong that Orb aint improved.
Senesia
2003-07-10, 10:05 AM
I said it doesn't have as much improvement comparing to others. Glacial Spike has bonus from 3 skills.
Mr.Lee
2003-07-10, 11:25 AM
Many skills that wasnt used much have been improved yes. But generaly they suck.
Senesia
2003-07-10, 05:21 PM
I noticed a great improvement of drops (from chest), at least in quantity. In Maggot lair, I got 8 magic and 9 misc items from 1 chest, and about 6 magics in another one...

K_A idea was implemented in Ragnarok online and it turned out quiet well. Anyway i dont mind it, with or without K_A's idea.

Yes, I got the idea from Ragnarok Online.
