    I more or less agree with @Toz. I can remember looping @Exzuryx many times and him looping so hard causing ME to lag like a beast before his system would crash and I could finish the kill. This was back before Syssin illusions got nerfed, of course.

    Then I had fights like my one with @Yos, where it took us foreeeeever to fight and I finally won. Winning against him made me feel like I had won Aetolia at the time, because he was just that good and his system was so solid against illusions that, despite my best efforts, he seemed to be able to cure out of. I beat'im though, and I jumped around in my seat and cheered like a little girl.

    I can remember when they were all, 'Ish, come up with something to replace your illusions, we're phasing illusions out of the game.' and I was like k bro. So we did it, but it seems nobody else has. I'd really like to see them go ahead and go, since that's what they were supposed to do. When I did it, it was kinda, 'Come up with something to replace them.' and luckily I had a lot of help from smart people with great ideas that led to what the Syssin have currently.

    Take them away from the other classes, see how much it hurts them(or even helps, in some rare cases), and have them fill the void on their own.

    In a recent thread about limb combat, and I don't recall which as we've had a few of them, it was pointed out that restoration salve balance had buggily stayed at 4.0 seconds rather than being increased to 4.3 seconds as it was supposed to.

    I think I remember that this bug was fixed soon after, but I don't know why I think this. Was there a post from a dev, or did I dream it?

    I'm asking because I just tested resto salve balance again, and after a few reps it seems to still be 4.0-4.1 seconds. I don't know whether to bug this or not as it could just be that the bug is already known and just not fixed yet.

    It was an announce post.

    Annnnnnnd you might be right.
     
  • OleisOleis Producer Emeritus Administrator, Immortal
    There was an announce post. I can't think of any reason it would still be 4, but I'll look again.

    With stats and diminishing returns, dexterity seems to be hitting the wall a bit soon, assuming this is the reason for what I am seeing:

    15 dex = 12% dodge chance
    17 dex = 14% dodge chance
    18 dex = 14% dodge chance

    Does that seem normal/expected? I thought the DR didn't start kicking in until after 18.
  • AlexinaAlexina the Haunted Soul
    Nope. Dexterity is just that bad.

    Dexterity is not bad by any means anymore. The effect isn't immediately visible but with the changes if you are able to push your opponent below 13 dex via the "more dex effect" then you begin lowering their dodge significantly. As most people do not have +dex artis and generally do not choose high dex statpacks, this becomes very possible and a pretty significant PvP boon.

  • IrruelIrruel
    Right. But would it kill the game for 18 dex to give 15% dodge?

    Absolutely game breaking.

    You thought post-release Templars were bad? Nothing compared to 15% dodge.

    You almost collapse in pain as a piece of falling debris smashes you with a bone crunching blow.

    What is that? 

    Eddited to show the bleeding it does. Holy moly. 
  • AlexinaAlexina the Haunted Soul
    Looks like a piece of falling debris to me.

    And I have no idea. A bug, maybe?

    I have no clue. I just stacked hellsight on me completely to see if it's something that does in later stages since I had you nearly truelocked and... nope.

    Yeah that serpent plus the debris really screwed me over in that fight. I really should stop my system auto toggling from serpent for anti-shaman mode. 
  • LinLin Blackbird The Moonglade
    I'm almost certain it's a feature of whatever area you're in.

    I remember there being falling debris like that in Court of Consortium back with the Niuri event and after. Probably is like @Lin said, which is a feature of whatever area you are in.

  • EzalorEzalor Emperor D'baen Canada
    I'm pretty sure that's not an intended feature of the Sect arena.

    @Xiuhcoatl -- The serpent was hitting me too from my spars with Kheoss last night. I was trying not to fight in that room because I thought you would try to retard me into that room.

    Dwodin begins to convulse, and as his mouth opens in a silent scream, you hear a loud snapping as
    his back shatters from the sheer force of the spasms.
    Dwodin pats frantically at his skin, trying to put out a fire that rages only within him, until
    finally his life is usurped by the flame.


    ^ Happened in the same prompt. My question is...which one killed him? o.o

    Voyria probably.
  • IshinIshin Retired Lurker Virginia
    Voyria while burning to death I think. Or it could be that voyria death msg and darkshade kill lined up at the same time. Not entirely sure. Both probably did. He double dog dead, yo.

  • DraimanDraiman Dr. Drai
    Could we get different messages for some of the secondary effects of afflictions? Currently, brand/clumsiness/blurryvision all have the same "you miss" message, haemophilia/spleen rip have the same blocked messages for clotting, and I'm sure there are others.

  • TeaniTeani Shadow Mistress Sweden
    Having trouble with limiters in my affliction tracker. My offensive is set up to recognize levels of limb breaks, but for some reason my system keeps missing cures, so I try to mangle limbs that are not broken. I use Tripwire, but I suppose lag could play a role.

    Is there a good way to set up a sort of fail-safe for this? I'm getting tired of having to reset the tracking (thus off-setting the afflictions that are actually there) and not getting anywhere in a 1 on 1 fight.

    Do you have discernment @Teani? That could be an issue too ...

    Also if you mangle a limb and it doesnt mangle a limb isnt broken, you can set that one limb to not broken ... Unsure how TW does it.. but i do that on my own
