The aeon Moonrage thing, is it supposed to hit people inside?

You teleport along the aether strands to Bricriu.
The Tainted Earth.
Lying flat on the ground is a key-shaped sigil. Bricriu, the Poison Tongue is
here. You see a sign here instructing you that WARES is the command to see what
is for sale.
You see exits leading west and down (closed door).
Your movement causes your magical shield to dissipate.

I'm not sure if wane is supposed to or not... however, considering you aren't being blasted by a moonbeam put instead being hit by a curse, I don't see why not

Also, why does everyone in the Coven gain bully status for a death, but that logic does not apply to groups who kill someone as only the dealer of the death blow is counted by the avenger?
Drago2005-02-12 03:59:55
It works -sometimes- in group combat. I'm guessing that its because a coven its easier to keep track of who is actually in the coven, whereas with a group you can have a person following a person following another person.
Elryn2005-02-12 04:01:02
Why not just include anyone who struck the victim in the past x seconds? It shouldn't be too complex.

And I have been killed by groups many times, and never once had more than a single person added to my suspect list. If it relies solely on those who are following the person who does the killing, isn't that a bit easy to get around?
Unknown2005-02-12 05:02:01
I've been killed by many groups, and group avenger never seemed to work either.

I brought this up with Roark and he felt that there were some situations (although I still contend they are highly unlikely and unrealistic) where Avenger status could be given to people wrongfully. I really think something should be at least tried and tested to get this fixed. This single flaw really ferks over the Avenger system a great deal and makes it second rate (although just to note, I do prefer the Avenger system to a non-Avenger system)
Drago2005-02-12 05:06:08
Well, I've got narsrim on my victim's list and i'm.. 99% sure I haven't killed him in the last 3 hours. So that'd have to be from group combat.

The aeon-shot indoors is a bug, by the way. None of it's supposed to hit indoors. But sometimes we can't tell if you've gone indoors so we just keep firing the aeons and only get told you're indoors when the people doing moonbursts find it doesn't work. I bugged it a while ago when I kept doing it on Arilyon even though she'd run into a shop, but no luck.
Torak2005-02-12 20:09:00
I got hit by the one that does damage while I was inside the Southern taint tower, and shielded. Kharvik watched.
Shiri2005-02-12 20:30:19
...well, that's definately bugged. Because last time I did it I got the "doesn't work indoors" message sure enough.
Sylphas2005-02-12 22:34:58
Inside AND shielded? Wow, you have horrible luck. I always get "is inside" or "is shielded" messages. That's why I just spam moonburst until you move.
