Ankyrean Anguish - Aetolia-based RAGE

Reux

So, doing some research...

"axolotl132272" an ecru axolotl
Short-shorn ecru-coloured fur covers the body of this axolotl, its stocky legs stretching away from the rounded bulk of its torso. Floppy ears with surprising motion dangle from its rounded face, its eyes dark beads that glance about furtively. Its snout is similar to that of an anteater, and a short bristled tail swats about its hide to remove bugs from its body. It is nearly ten feet tall, lumbering with ease through the jungles.
An ecru axolotl looks weak and feeble.

Why do I know this?


(Who I still have a place on my team for, as a DDer curser.)

Aetolia's axolotl != RL's axolotl

I'd suggest getting clean logs without gagging, it's hard to pinpoint the source of damage unless we have clean logs.

Firelord damage alone:
http://hastebin.com/oyunixecus.css

It does 469 when it hits. However, if you don't manage to cure it, it does an extra 221 when it hits again, and in the background, it starts at 67 and then builds up.

Conclusion: It hurts when you don't cure it. Firelord procs every 6-7s, so if you're not managing to use a mending salve (1s) in that period of time, it means your salve balance is heavily pushed or you're locked. I notice in Stathan's log that he had slickness and ablaze on already - my guess ablaze damage was building for quite some time. In Angwe's log, I'm not sure if sensitivity was stuck. When we go damage route, we stick sensitivity. So those are reasons for why damage starts to become punishing.

-----

It also doesn't AOE your enemy list, just one person.

Procc'ing only one one enemy:

Stathan

Actually, the ablaze got added when they both hit me. And I was in the middle of fighting Riluo at the time so slickness had just been used and I wasn't quite locked yet. I would however be glad to get 2 domination users together and test it at Delos or something if need be.

Moirean

My mistake. It doesn't AoE them all at once; I was thinking of when it hits icewall. It ticks down through enemy list to hit the first one it can. Put up an icewall and move people around and you'll see. I'm not sure what order it goes by, as far as who it tries to hit first.

@Reux‌ :

How I know about axolotl.

@Reux‌
This weird discrepancy has annoyed me for yeaaars. Several years back, the Eireachdus was in a place that people kept making axolotl foods like kebabs, and it kept throwing me off. Axolotl's are so awesome IRL, why the aet version is abosolutelynothinglikeit has always baffled me.

I rage about the ever increasing lag thats been going on in the game. I can't even bash, let alone do anything else, without at least 30 seconds of lag spikes every 5 minutes.

And no, its not my internet bandwidth. I've checked.

It may not be your personal internet connection, but it's not server processing lag (which is heavily monitored) or datacenter lag (which would be universal across all our players). Instead, it's likely a regional issue, which will hopefully fade.

What client do you use most often?

I use mudlet and I restart it and my computer about once every few days, along with defrags and necessary file deletions. I know mudlet has an issue with data spillage, but I restarted mudlet today and I'm still experiencing really bad lag issues.

Edit: I'm not sure how regional it would be. I have spoken to a fair few people in many different time zones, and have been getting responses of similar lag issues.

Figure what to ping to represent Aetolia and you can see if it's something bottlenecking your connection.

Riluo

Did the ancestral conversion ritual on someone.

The will of the Primus prevents you from turning Mastema into one of the Blooded.

WHAT????

Ilyon

...huh?

Riluo

@Ilyon Yeah you are telling me.

Ezalor

@Riluo it's a "bug" (actually not a bug, it's a nonsensical feature) with lycans. For some reason lycans are unable to become vampires (but vampires can become lycans).

This was meant to be reversed as part of the changes.

Riluo

Glad to know there is a reason behind it. Thanks. Is it likely to get fixed >.> as I can see this becoming an issue.

Sounds like Underworld. Now where is Kate Beckinsale?

This is really fucking stupid. Past shield and mass? Bitch pls.

It's stopped by monolith.

Riluo

I am over the ongoing latency issues recently I am getting.

Solaria

Sad to see two things:
1) Sol's newbie thrall suicided apparently.
2) I apparently turned a book into the Putoran people at some point (which was probably RL year(s) ago) and it still hasn't been reviewed. No clue what it even was now.

Zsadist

This lag latency issues are really starting to piss me off.... I can't do SHIT!!!! Lagged out for 45 seconds in a damn lesser.

Ilyon

I didn't have any lag at all during that lesser, so it likely isn't a server problem.

Nalor

its his awesome system @Ilyon!

Yeah but you're playing from Poland or the moon or Europe or something, I don't think it counts.

Either TW, or one of the hops along the way.

Considering I've been having lag issues for about a week now, Imma take a wild guess and say that it might be one of the hops. I've been using TW for about a year now and have never had lag this bad. Either that, or my computer is just finally wanting to take a shit on me.

Erzsebet

I've been noticing a lot of lag lately, too. As have a couple other people I talk to on skype/aim. And though I'm usually RPing and it thus isn't all that vital...it's still really frustrating. Especially when you're -not- just RPing, when you're trying to bash or pk or whatever. Especially when such causes you to die/lose connection. (And thus your expensive globe buff.)
