works in 1v1, doesn't work so well in team combat.

In team combat, there is little point to sapping. No one bothers to afflict in large scale group combat, and you and your target must be in the trees, that doesn't happen too often.
Murphy2005-04-12 10:58:06
oh doesn't work when I'm fighting 3 or 4 serenwilders, and doing well till I get sapped under blackout, not to mention every serenwilde guild can give some form of aeon
Shiri2005-04-12 11:01:04
Actually, me, Shorlen and Gregori didn't NEED sap or waning, the blackout pretty much screwed you up on its own. Even vines would've done it.
Nayl2005-04-12 11:03:48
That's 3 on 1, damage woulda done him... probably.

EDIT: and if it didn't, Shiri coulda sucked mana, and the other two (or one) gone for damage. force him to split his sipping, or ph3ar the results

Murphy2005-04-12 11:16:44
no, the sap got me combined with blackout.

If i wasn't aeoned i would've got away fairly easily, as you didn't set the trap up right
Shiri2005-04-12 11:18:28
Right, we didn't. You wouldn't've gotten away though, if only because of the paralysis. And the odd vine. And if you had, I woulda wisped you right back in.
Murphy2005-04-12 11:28:19
Not quite, i only needed to get one room away to ghost and get out, I got out the second time when i liched but not enough power to ghost away again...

On a different note, ghosts should be able to open doors
Shiri2005-04-12 11:31:13
...no they shouldn't. Or if they should, eye sigils should work like in other games.
Nayl2005-04-12 11:33:16
no, they shouldnt

They shouldn't indeed, though eye sigils never pulled anyone out of ghost form in any IRE game.
Murphy2005-04-12 11:36:26
shiri you are a tool, and not the hammer kind of tool.

Eye sigil never stopped blackwind or whatever else it was called in other IRE games....as a matter of fact you could vitae-blackwind or soulcage-blackwind with ease. AND you could choke people while in the blackwind form
Shiri2005-04-12 11:37:29
Oh.

Well, I got the impression they did, because originally the help file for sigils said that they did, and someone said it was meant to be like that, so I assumed it had been before. My mistake.

But if ghosts can walk through doors, which is the only way of stopping the damn things, then there better be some other way, like the help file originally indicated.

EDIT: And what other kinds of tools are there? The screwdriver kind? The powerdrill kind? blink.gif

Make it so we can't nativeform on eye sigils but can walk through doors. biggrin.gif
Shiri2005-04-12 11:41:33
Heh, that IS pretty amusing. biggrin.gif

EDIT: Ninja'd by Asarnil. Psh, that wouldn't solve anything. More like you couldn't ghost OFF eye sigils, but that would cripple the skill. But not being able to nativeform on the things wouldn't help much of anything.
Asarnil2005-04-12 11:45:18
It would assure that stockrooms would stay safe tongue.gif
Shiri2005-04-12 11:47:07
True. But it wouldn't stop the escaping usage! Which is difficult enough to stop as is. In fact, it can only really be stopped in the mining villages. huh.gif It's not like Violet/Kether does much of anything. Ghost could probably stand to stay as is. They don't need walking through doors AS WELL.
Thorgal2005-04-12 11:49:02
Well ya see, we can't stop any serenwilder from leaving a village either, since they can just burrow into the ground two levels and dig their way out of the village, nothing we can do to stop them. Even the mines carved out of solid rock have loose soil to enable diggers to get out unhindered.
Shiri2005-04-12 11:50:12
That needs fixing too. If only 'cause Geos can do it as well. halo.gif But yes, that is a pain. I think I envoyed changing that, but I might not have. Will redo later just to make sure. *cough*

Hire a Gravedigger to patrol your villages for burrowing treehuggers. cool.gif
