Hmm.. dunno. ITs all pure speculation on my part since I don't know how the trophy code works. But I do seem to get better exp if I hit differant zones than staying in one area for a while.

rylan

nods.. but the -really- good ones know how to balance healing with offensives http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/smile.gif Spiced up our mudding some since we could do damage when we didn't need all of our healing spells. :P Shrug.. I thought we were told before that clerics were supposed to be able to do ...

rylan

Trophy kicks in at lvl 8 (according to helpfiles), so at low lvl it doesn't matter. I'm not sure exactly how it works, since I've found I gradually do get less exp from mobs if I keep killing the same one over and over, but it seems to happen more if we're just doing a few mobs in a row and repeatin...

rylan

Hey Jegzed, I think innate darkness lasts a lot longer than the 3-second cleric darkness spell though :P
And besides, you can see in the dark :P

rylan

Oof.. oh well, there goes the nice holy word damage http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/frown.gif Actually in my opinion having is savable is a lot more of a downgrade than a bonus to PCs (since high lvl mobs are always gonna save now, which means under 100hps of damage for a 7th circle spell). And if a PC ...

rylan

Woah.. thats some nasty poison

rylan

Nods.. same thing happened with me. I was doing exp in soem differant areas to lwoer trophy down, then I got a couple deaths from zoning, and my trophy is higher than it was before I took the time to try and lower it *sniff*

rylan

Hey Trel.. I like having quite a few hitters becuase there are quite a few big mobs in high lvl zones that have some nasty magic resistance :P Besides.. if a pack of casters runs outta spells, the group is screwed (little damage output until a mem). Hitters keep doing constant damage. Shrug.. thats ...

rylan

I didn't think it ends fighting.. shrug. will have to try it and see.

rylan

Okie.. cool. That'll help since I have a timeframe of how long to expect it to work now

rylan

Oof.. holy word got downgraded again? Ugh.. just looked at the news. Yeah, is that last part "However, the spell can now be saved against" a typo? Sounds like the now should be a not, unless the spell is really getting hosed over. About the stun thing.. it did seem to last a bit too long on some mob...

rylan

Nods.. we had one of our group members loot and store his stuff incase he comes back.

rylan

I hope not Nokie. But I'm sure there will be some complaining as usual :P I know for one I'm only going to be ressing 1 corpse for people at first (unless its a res for group members dying from a zone run etc) until I get through a bunch. I just have to decide if I want to change my previous free-re...

rylan

nods.. he deleted after the jot spank a few nights ago

rylan

Just some feedback on a few spell durations: Blindness spell.. helpfile says 3 minutes, but its nowhere close to that. Any idea what the normal duration range is? Curse spell.. helpfile says 7 days (rofl). I know the duration was changed when the spell was upgraded, but we have no idea how long it l...

rylan

Personally I like seeing a good mix of classes in a group... nice to have a rogue for the damage (and they're usually fun to group with http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/smile.gif ). Rangers do good damage also, and have the added benefit of rescuing my ass incase of a nasty switch. Plus, don't underestim...

rylan

The only time I tog anon on is if I'm messing around during lunch at work or something. I think people should use the ungroup flag on the who command.. 'who cleric s ung' for ungrouped clerics etc http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/smile.gif I use that so I try not to bother people who are grouped :P

rylan

Nods.. ditto for me. Seems like it lasts longer outside, but still quite short. If I cast it in a town, it only lasts a few seconds.

rylan

Ohh.. nods. Thats a damned good idea Bopple. Would be _very_ useful, and give you guys another spell that I'd think lots of groups would want to have around http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/smile.gif Dunno about totally preventing mob crits, but maybe cut the chance of them by 3/4 or 1/2?

rylan

I've seen that also, but it doesn't happen all the time. Some mobs don't seem to care, while others do. Doesn't really make sense for them to go aggro when the spell doesn't effect them.

rylan

Yeah, I noticed this also from having to keep healing the tanks, since their stone gets poofed really fast.

Looks like shield 'hits' stone even though the person has major globe up to stop the shield.

rylan

Ohh.. yeah, that sucks. Potions shouldn't be effected by stuff like silence. Unless you have to gurgle or something to make it work :P

rylan

Yeah, temples selling res would be a good temporary way to suck some plat from ppl too.. chuckle.. or maybe it could have some use of the pretige number? It would be damned nice to have that in until res quest is available... Make the temple charge something obnoxious like 500 plat, and maybe lower ...

rylan

Heheh.. yeah, last night during the big jot spank, we could've used more time on corpse rot :P
Luckily the mud was rebooted and it reset the timers, so we were able to get Folur's group to come up and help us. And they got to corpses with just minutes left before rot.. oof

rylan

Oof.. yeah, I should've logged the Deva clouding us twice. Nobody died from the first 2 clouds though.. snicker It was at that point we were all screwed though.. 100hps left on most ppl just doesn't cut it on a !bash !stun mob with insane magic resistance :P Man.. we were doing pretty well too right...

rylan

doh.. so res quest is gonna be a real pain int he ass, huh? Ouchy. Well, I like a good challange.. as long as its possible without wacking the whole groupa few times :P And hopefully plenty of people will offer to help (since I would of course return the favor).. hehehe http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/s...

rylan

hehehe.. nods.

Back at college if I had a nasty CR, I could just stay up all night until its done and just skip class :P

But now that I'm done with that and have a RL job, I have to be careful with doing big zones during weeknights, since I wouldn't have time for the CR if it goes bad.

rylan

Yeah, my guess is its the mud backbone getting upgrade or changed or something.

I have a high speed cable connection at home and I still get the crappy lag that others see (it comes and goes). Its pretty much everyone as far as I've seen.

rylan

Hey Mal, I live in Hopkinton, where the marathon starts (near Framingham, but you probably know that)

That one day every year the visiting population outnumbers the residents of the town.. lol :P

rylan

Chuckle.. kinda funny to see lots of people get bent out of shape because 'xxx class can do this beter than me' :P Anyway, with the brief explanation of the intended usage of mounted combat for rangers, I'm think I understand them removing flankblock. I'm not exactly sure how the mounted code works ...

rylan

Oof.. Glad ya got restored Saitcho.. would hate to see ya leave from the bad luck you've been having lately

rylan

Doh.. I'm up in Boston, so that is kinda a long trip :P

rylan

Okie!

rylan

You have a buckskin Nokie? It helps somewhat. I think the silken sacks from Dusk are a lot better though.. then there is that Tinker Bag :P Or the Silvery Sack from IC Vault is nice :P Yeah, I agree that lockpicks should have their weight lowered a lot.. like maybe 10 weighs 1 pound or something. Is...

rylan

ROFL!!!

Hyldryn climbs on and rides Belleshel.
Hyldryn evades a mob's attack with Belleshel!

:P

rylan

sweet!

rylan

Personally I think with ranger's mounted combat capped at 20 (totally resonable as far as I'm concerned) they should have flankblock. I've grouped with Bell quite a bit, and I easily see the differance now. With FB, Bell was able to rescue a mage (or usually me :P ) and be able to tank a few rounds ...

rylan

rofl :P

rylan

Bump.. Any comments from gods/coders/players?

rylan

nods.. at least for blind though we can tell when the mob tries to bash/switch etc. Curse ther eis currently no way of knowing when it fades or its expected duration. Something else (ported in some other thread too).. I seem to be able to hit spells a lot easier on cleric mobs than mage mobs.. is th...

rylan

I like most of the song ideas... as its pretty ovbious that bards need some MAJOR help in their current state. As for skills, I don't think backstab is necessary. I think bards should be allowed to use ANY eq as long as they fit the align/rage restrictions of the eq.. they shouldn't be subjected to ...

rylan

Yeah, damn, I missed a cool invasion again. I was on the pirate ship to HP during the invasion... couldn't ditch my group. *sniff*

rylan

Hmm.. here is something I've noticed. I can hit spells a lot easier on cleric mobs than on mage mobs. I'm guessing mages have a better natural spellsave than clerics?

rylan

cackle!

rylan

No prob D2.. we just want to make sure you guys are aware of the issues and that you'll look into them

rylan

Ahh.. forgot about that one too Hyld.. thanks for posting it

rylan

I know where you're coming from. Those big spank-all mobs in a zone groups can be fun at first, but they get boring quick as you rip through mobs in under 60 seconds. Personally I like the smaller groups that take longer to kill, since it adds some excitement, and I get to do more stuff as a cleric....

rylan

Ok.. been seeing some strange things concerning mob stun, which may be related to mobs being able to do multiple things at the same time and ignore their lag. Mobs are coming out of stun instantly.. i.e. you see the Mob XXXX is stunned! Then the next line (before any actions occur) Mob XXX Seems to ...

rylan

Yeah, you can also PWB on top of blind currently.. saw this happen last night a few times.. not sure if that one is a bug though since PWB is a lot more powerful (supposedly). Oh.. gonna post some odd things I've seen with stun in another thread too. http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/smile.gif

rylan

Yeah, thats a good idea too. Actually, anyone know how long curse lasts? Help files say 7 days, but I have no idea if thats right or not, since if a mob is already cursed and you cast it on it again, you don't get any message (unlike other spells, where it'll say 'nothing happens' if you try to blin...
