Bug Thievery

[Keache]

Hello,

I was talking with a townie (former thief) about thieves, it seems that Thievery is a bit broken... When you're in a fight with someone as a thief, and you wind up accidentally right-clicking a weapon/bind, you'll usually use thievery on someone, causing them to insta-kill you because you decided to steal from them while facing them in the middle of a fight.

I'd like to suggest several ways that you could change thievery to prevent this sort of situation: change it to be a castable ability, letting you bind it to a key or item. What you could also do is try to make thievery only work when you have bare hands. Finally, you could make thievery unusuable while in combat. I believe this could probably fix up a lot of thief-death mishaps (while in combat).
Thanks,

Keache

Er, sorry. At first I thought of it as a bug, but then I realized this was more of a suggestion than a thread.

It kind of is a bug, you are just offering suggestions to fix it, so its a sort of both

@unknownloner - wanna try and fix this for us? having it bind to a certain tool or barehands is fine with me.

Barehanded would be preferred, thanks

I am a derp and have no coding skeelz

It's such a pain though..
Iv died to a level 14 warrior this way, and it's a bit annoying to end up in someone's inven in the middle of the fight. I don't see how hard it would be to turn thievery from passive to a bound skill, although I have no coding experience whatsoever, so my opinion may be off

It is, otherwise this would have been done by now

Maybe make it so it could only be used in non-pvp areas?

Orrrr, just add a toggle, as I suggested before.

 

[Jayzy3]

I honestly don't care what you do, as long as it changes things from the way they are now

I'd rather not have the skill if there is no easy fix.

 

[unknownloner]

Bare-handed would be quite a simple fix, a toggle might also be fairly simple. While I'm busy making changes, is anyone interested in typing a command to see their thievery level/what they can steal?

 

[PernixPike]

Even though I know I'm already a max level thief, that command would have been very helpful while I was training it. I'm sure new thieves would find it useful.

Thanks for working on it <3
