When Beethro falls from a bridge we still see him spilling blood all round him. It would be cool if when he dies in water we see a splash and when he falls into a pit he spins and shrinks as he falls into the mothingness.
Obviously this is a low prority request.

It's a good idea. I would also like to see some different animations from various monsters. Obviously roachlings, snakes, and wraithwings, and some others should stay the same. However, tar babies should skeletize you, Golemns should puddlify you, and Gaurds and Slayers should stab and knock you over. Also, monsters should return to their original square soon after killing you.

No.

Monster killings are fine, and time freezes while you're dying. Stephen4Louise was just talking about dying in pit and water. It would be quite interesting, however, to see those things happening.

Mr. Slice, do you read posts before responding?

Varkarrus said, "The request is good; I'd also like to see X." You said, "No," followed by "X isn't part of the request, but it might be nice to see X." In other words, you didn't disagree with Varkarrus (or, for that matter, add anything new); you just said "No" for no discernable reason.

I admit I am curious to know why this was stickied--does that mean it's being worked on?

I always read posts before responding, understanding them is a different option.

Sorry about there, but I thought Varkarrus was adding on to the topic, and those things I disagreed with.

I'm not sure why this was stickied, but on the left of the bar that is a topic, there should normally be a white box. Then there is a yellow arrow in that white box, that means it's being worked on. When there is a check mark in that box, that means that the feature request was added.

Schik, are you ever going to change the mouseover definitions for the FR board?

Well, in the feature requests board that's how they work. In the bugs board, they mean different things.

White box: This thing has been unchecked so far.
Arrow: Needs to be investigated as to if this is an actual bug.
Roach: This has been verified as a bug.
X-ed Out Roach: This has been verified as not a bug.
Mimic Sword: This has been verified as a bug, and is being fixed.
Check: This bug has been fixed.

I think that's all of them. I hope you now understand what those thingies in the left mean.

There's also the question mark for a bug that can't be reproduced and a thumbs-up for a fix that has been verified.

This has been done (You fall into a pit, and flail around splashing rather than bleeding when dying in water), so this can be closed.
It could also be unstickied too... I'm guessing it's stickied for this list of forum icons, and I don't know of anywhere else such a list can be found... So really there should be an official sticky in the bug and feature-request forums with up-to-date lists of those icons, rather than languishing in this forgotten thread.
