What do you think about adding a new feature in the 'vitals' menu, namely combat speed? At the moment checking your level of 'haste' is nearly impossible (there are indirect ways, but I don't want to reveal them here), especially when you have several items which stack. You also can't tell when you reach the 'cap'. A message saying so would be nice.

You can check how much obliviated you are, or how exhausted, thirsty, etc. I think it would be nice to check how quickly you fight in battle. Afterall, it's something you can feel and distinguish when you fight slower/faster. Just like you can feel how much intoxicated you are, tired, etc.

Gorboth's drafted something along those lines. It just needs to be added to mudlib.

You are moving at an elevated pace.
Thank you. Very nice. Now what about it adding that to gmcp feed?

We will get to it, at an extremely dulled pace.

Great and thank you for coding it.
Now we know there's no speed like elemental speed ;)

I've tested all the (known to me, at least) speed items, along with a faint speed imbued item, and those give just "rapid" level. (Serrated obsidian halberd + gauntlets + robe + boots + watch + 1 faint imbue)

It seems that time between my special attacks was down by slightly over 25%, too.

Elemental speed spell alone gives "extremely rapid" line in vitals, so you're right, there is no speed like elemental speed ;)

Kinda silly tbh that a layman guild cant boost the shit outa you that much more than 6x speed items :P

EW has been having it for years.
Maybe when some other layman guild, that is available to other players, has powers on similar level, it will be reasonable.
