    I got a triad pendant from Haern back in the day. Used to give random wildlife room messages like hearing a roaring lion. That ended a while ago though

  • I had a good system. It worked really well for me, actually.

    I'd buy credits. I'd sell them, and buy chests, and then I'd finagle and wheel and deal. Sell some things here, trade some things there. Make my money back, maybe a bit of profit, buy more chests, maybe keep something nifty. I'd slowly turn those credits into bound credits by trading in things like vials and such, and then eventually I'd have enough credits to buy something. Maybe I'd have to buy a couple hundred to finish the purchase, but it worked. It worked for me, and I was happy.

    And then @razmael went and ruined it all! Now I can buy giftbags with bound credits, and it's beggaring me! Do you think I have the self control to resist that kind of temptation? I'm only human! Now I can't keep credits. I traded in a hunting boon and a rebirth crystal (I didn't need those anyway!). I'm going to end up destitute and living in a back alley behind the Black Flagon drinking cheap whiskey ( can't afford the good stuff ) from a busted up old leather boot ( because I traded in my kegs for giftbags ). People won't even recognize me. It'll be terrible.

    And now for the real rage in this post.

    Buy 10 giftbags, 5 of them have ink or ylemshards. I can't even -fit- more ink in my cache. I really wanted to emote terrible, terrible things to those giftbags.

    And also that stupid @daskalos, who always gets lucky.

    I'm just saying, if pendants that came with that particular sick beat became standard issue in Haern's order it would only improve things.

    When you have a bankroll as large as @Daskalos', of course you're gonna get lucky.

    That being said, with the giftbags having such a large output of items I don't need, I can't bring myself any sort of justification to buy them. I don't understand why people are buying so many.

    Now onto my rage: I rage I can't transfer my 2005 bounds from Imperian to Aetolia! I already paid for them via membership (long before I thought of joining Aetolia and I don't even play Imperian much anymore), why can't I have them?! RAWR!!!

    This may-or-may not give away a semi-known alt of mine. But.

    It's highly irritating to submit a handful of designs to my guild for the shop, and then to log on to one message per design either maligning things that aren't actually incorrect, or that are entirely stylistic, or to just go 'oh cool, submitting' PER design.

    I'm not saying I'm perfect, grammatically speaking (no one is, alas) but something (such as a comma) being -unnecessary- doesn't make it incorrect by default and I find it highly annoying when people insist I'm incorrect when I'm actually not.

    They're not personal designs, I'm therefore not attached to their wording overmuch, so I don't =need- a play-by-play single message note per design.

    At the very least, if they don't want to fix them and/or feel they shouldn't have to because they're for the guild, they could just send me ONE message going 'this design, this design, this design and this design are not up to guild standards'.

    If I wanted to log on to 20 messages of what equates to asinine rejection/approval spam, I'd make this character a crafter, and by-pass the artistic filter entirely. >.>

    Damned if I'll be doing -this- again.

    I feel your pain and welcome to The-RNG-Gods-Least-Favorite-Club!! Like 3 giftbags a day since this began and I'm just now adding my 3rd artifact, a keyring, to my other two artifacts I've gotten, a keyring and a crystal necklace of rebirth. I'd be disappointed if I bought something like 100 bags and had 100 chocolates to eat in 30 days. I know they're out there, though, because I watched someone pull 2 transportation artis (Wings, then Amulet) from their dailies two days in a row - And not even looking at the stupid odds when they did so.

    I Rage at all the STUPID Bugs I get on Aetolia :@ I give up bugging crap after this bug!

    You touch the shield tattoo and suddenly a nearly invisible magical shield forms around you.
    << Nalor has gained SHIELDED defence >>
    Equilibrium Used: 4.00 seconds
    A bone fetish clatters against Raeche's quarterstaff.

    Raeche uses Primality Vinelash on you.
    Sinuous vines grow rapidly from Raeche's quarterstaff, slick with venom. The sprouted vines lash
    outwards to you, gashing bloody wounds into your body.
    Raeche uses Vinelash Venom (curare) on you.
    You wince as Raeche's quarterstaff leaches curare into your bloodstream.
    A prickly stinging overwhelms your body, fading away into numbness.
    [ Nalor ]: has Paresis

    How can people hit through shield? like FOR unicorn REAL ......... And Fact you cant WALK into water rooms but yet most skills like lure, overgrowth pull beckon etc, will drag you into the room... Logic at its best!

    Most likely it was this:

    Bone (Shamanism) Known: No
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Trigger condition: The bone fetish is activated by an attuned target
    using a shield tattoo or any other means of forming a temporary barrier.
    This does not apply to the prismatic barrier generated by using a lyre.

    Activation effect: The next time your opponent attempts to form a
    shield, the fetish will lash out and destroy it, delivering a mental
    affliction in the process.

    The line about the bone fetish clattering against the staff is most likely the line activating the fetish. However, the way the AB file reads, I would think that the fetish would activate and then the -next- time you shield it would strike. But perhaps it's just misleading. Basically, every other time you shield against a shaman, if they're using bone fetish that shield is going to drop immediately.

    The time after that ^ Bone fetish fired, bone fetish worked as it should my RAGE is SHE HIT ME THROUGH SHIELD! Wasn't bone fetish stripping my shield as I got the line saying "You shield has been stripped." (or whatever it is) After I shield once I got the balance back from shielding that time! I know fully how bone fetish works THAT WASNT THE BUG........... @Xavin

    NEXT TIME IT did strip shield, Bone that is.. That time she went STRAIGHT THROUGH SHIELD!! I know about bone fetish!

    Upon talking with Aishia, I found out this: vinelash always has gone through shield. At least, according to her. The best thing to do would be to bug it if you're not sure and that way it will get address. I'm just going to say now, though, that the attitude of 'I'm done bugging things because of bugs' is really the wrong attitude to have. The coders can't fix what they don't know is broken, after all.


  • I play Aetolia for fun, not to bug bugs every few hours.. And of late, thats all its been.. and vinelash (which deals an aff + round 900 damage) going through shield seems rather dumb :/ As whats point in shielding? lol...

    Could say the same about shielding against a vampire or bloodborn. There are a handful of abilities out there that do penetrate shield. But if you want to not bug bugs, that's your decision ultimately. At that point, though, you sort of lose the ability to really grumble overmuch when bugs happen.

  • Bloodborn and Prae DONT GIVE 1k damage when going through shield.. unless its bloodborn and the person uses the ritual and then I guess its not 1k nor is it hidden.... lol

    Doesn't seem terrible to me. They still have to break the shield to capitalize on anything, losing the round, and one hidden aff every 3 seconds isn't really bad at all on its own. Shield should not be a catch-all "you-can't-touch-me" and put a complete halt to a class' offense. Keep in mind Leafstorm is not comboable and cannot be turned into an affliction. Considering Shamans' weird cadence already and the wide spray of afflictions with a heavy does of focusables and no way to reliably afflict with impatience... not having them lose an entire round to a shield touch and having it hamstring their momentum is a good thing for the class.

    For some reason after liaisons they seem a lot nastier, though. Quicker set up and heavier capitalization. Either that or @Kheoss just got five times better, which is entirely possible. Love that guy.

    And sorry, I'm raining on your rage. I understand. handonshoulder

    MOVE ALONG PEOPLE. NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

    Edit: I stand corrected on the impatience thing via PM by @Nalor. I still understand your rage.

    Yeaaaah % health damage shouldn't be going through a shield. Esp. not when you can empower it to give a writhe aff(that makes you bleed) + hidden venom.

    EDIT: And actually, vinelash has been weird for awhile - pretty sure I remember it doing damage through kaido numb, as well.

    Sorry, this was my bad replying to that, but we shouldn't split the Rage thread off into a separate discussion, since we deliberately keep it as a place where someone can Hulk out on something and people will just listen without cutting it apart. <.<

    So! My bad. I'll just wait for the whatever thread in Sparring Grounds, if someone wants to start that. Logs! We need logs! WE DEMAND MORE LUMBER.

  • @Ilyon clearly it does from my post, As my balance after I got this when shielding "You have gained the shielded defence." which proves to me (system wise) I still had shield or it would have been - << Nalor has gained SHIELDED defence >> -

    But I didnt Rage for bickering and he says who says no one care who says, I raged as I was MAD at fact a damage skill goes through shield .. it should neglect the damage if thats the case
