Wow, it's true

So, under one of my characters I'm given the curse of death. What a pile of BS that is. Now I'm getting 3-4 afflictions per minute, and this is supposed to be the slow, beginning part of the curse. It seems to love giving rigormortis, as I went through the 25 marjoram I had in the first 15 minutes of the curse, then I'm stuck with 4 broken limbs until someone can teleport to me and kill me with ease. So I can't quest to remove the curse, soon I'll be out of healing supplies and thus screwed by the Serenwilde alchemy monopoly, which is acknowledged by the divine, and just generally screwed.

Thanks, Estarra! Back to Imperian for me!

Well, there's always Rowena. But yes karma is lame.

I've seen a couple of people early in the affliction curses, and they are horrible. An affliction every 10 seconds, i'd estimate. Later on it must be every couple of seconds...

They have to be SERIOUSLY weakened.

Holy carp, 3-4 afflictions/minute? I'm positive that's a bug, I heard it's supposed to be so slight that it should be almost unnoticeable in the beginning stages.

Either that or it's supposed to weaken as time goes on... I dunno.

Can I say "told ya so" yet?
Bricriu2005-03-06 21:34:03
It doesn't matter if you say that! We know it already. tongue.gif

I held myself firmly in the "trust Estarra, wait and see" camp, but you may now officially say "I told you so"

It seems to be quite variable. Sometimes it's a bunch of afflictions very quickly, sometimes I get a break. But it's definitely nowhere near "hardly noticeable" even though I've had it barely an hour now.
Faethan2005-03-06 21:35:36
Can we have a pkoff flag like pkcareful that will prevent me from attacking -anyone- in a situation where I would get suspect for killing them?
Faethan2005-03-06 21:41:04
Edit: misunderstood the quote. What's actually going on is someone is letting a cursed character spam kill them to offer to raise the karma to lift the curse. How f-ed up is that?

I really hate when people copy and paste channels to public forums.
Bricriu2005-03-06 21:50:31
Seeing how it's back, I'm reposting a link to my Lesser/Major Karma curses idea. /hijack

We just got our clan back. No anti-Karma Association for you. =\\

Then I guess I'm one. sad.gif

However, I am going to let Munsia kill me, so I can curse her, along with eight other people, so the cow can't breathe.
Erion2005-03-06 21:59:18
I'd just like to add, Munsia has Nature curse. That means losing health outdoors/nature areas.

That's just kick ass.
Amaru2005-03-06 22:02:32
Someone explain why the hell there's a need to make us pay a toll of mind-numbing questing just for a license to PK in ordinary situations. It won't stop 'unnecessary PK', it'll stop people enjoying Lusternia. Great censor.gif ing move.
Erion2005-03-06 22:03:04
Non-sense! smile.gif
Ralshan2005-03-06 22:06:36
Yay. Got the curse off and someone else put it right back on.

Bye, Lusternia! It was fun, till now. Just got another job and was going to buy a few thousand credits, guess that money goes to Avasyu now.
