You, on your own, can tank the attacks of 5-6 people before tumbling out? blink.gif (While you're not a faeling, that is.)

Knights do? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean no one does. I don't think we need to go into things that no one likes but still occurs since there are obviously way too many to even mention.
Munsia2005-06-25 23:18:56
I think the whole point of knights falling down too is becuase when you tackle someone you are what.. landing ontop of them right?
Alger2005-06-25 23:26:01
this tackling thing is another example of people complaing after changes has been made tongue.gif

no you cant spam tackle but its still bugged at the moment.

here. A noble pegasus stamps one reflective hoof, his gossamer wings flipping

hand. Wilde Witch, Skyla, Priestess of the Moon is here, shrouded. She wields

shrouded. He wields the Ancient Cudgel of Glinshari in his left hand and a
golden sickle in his right.

You feel yourself compelled to leave the room, beckoned by the will of a
hideous archdemon.
A garden of hanging flowers.
Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. A
hornbeam sapling clings tenaciously to the ground here. A royal knight of
Faethorn stands here at the ready. Standing as still as death, the Nil Grim
Horror's very presence here fills the room with despair. A huge archdemon looms
here, surrounded by black mist. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular
monolith is on the ground. Ur'Marshal Alger D'Tylmirande, The Black Wind is
here. He wields a baleful rapier of darkened steel in each hand. Eiru is here,
shrouded. He wields an iron shield in his left hand.
You see exits leading south and northwest.

Eiru2005-08-17 12:22:15
Shield?
Obviously that was targetted beckon.
Move?
Alger2005-08-17 12:26:15
I'm lucky to resist any kind of summon once. 9 times in a row heh...
Gwylifar2005-08-17 13:27:20
Yeah, but what good is nine resists if they can do ten attempts in two seconds? However many times you can resist, they can always beckon one more than that, and the amount of time the resists buy is negligible.
Jadryga2005-08-17 13:38:45
If Eiru explained right to me, that's only possible with TARGETTED beckon, which can be avoided with... wait for it... shielding!

Room beckon uses equi on the failed attempt.
Gregori2005-08-17 13:47:46
Personally, I think any skill, no matter what it is, that can bypass defenses simply by spamming it enough times, needs to be looked at. Considering all that would need be done in this case, is someone walk in nullify shield and Eiru again spams beckon, it pretty much makes resistances null and void. Not saying he is doing anything wrong by using it, as the skill is currently intended to work that way. Just saying, any skill intended to acheive its goal by spamming, should have someone look into them more.

If you can somehow justify being able to beckon someone 10 times in a row in 2 seconds then I want to be able to spam tackle until I successfully pull it off again.
Sylphas2005-08-17 20:13:23
And the same for headbutt. With size 6, I should obviously be able to instantly headbutt anyone.
Malicia2005-08-18 00:00:34
Old thread?


Well, anyhow, the new envoy reports are due soon and I really hope that the admin take a look at the ability. I realize that this isn't Achaea, but the way beckon worked there was a bit more realistic. As Narsrim explained, how does a demon pull my physical body through a wall, regardless of my condition (paralysed, crippled, etc) and without transforming me in some way? A monolith should stop it on a room attack and shield for a targetted beckon. Not sure if that's possible.

It has come to my attention that many people do not seem to know what a tackle actually is. I attribute this to American football being a girly version of rugby (no offence to our American players).

This is a tackle. Please do not complain about tackling knocking you over - it is a 'tackle', not a 'gentle push'.

I am aware that this may digress somewhat from the thread's original point, but these concerns have been raised, and need to be addressed.
Terenas2005-08-18 01:55:20
Sweet, so could we not move our targets to another room with tackle then, but just instead knock them onto the ground? biggrin.gif

Are you a Lions player, or an All Black?
Gregori2005-08-18 03:22:48
Not saying Rugby isn't a tougher sport, although attributing people's willingness to have their faces kicked in by spiked shoes to toughness and not something else is a bit off, but American/Canadian football is hardly "girly".

Oh look an almost identical version of Shikari's Tackle!

Definately nothing girly here.

If you want to start insulting the differences between Rugby and American/Canadian football, I believe the forum called Real World is down the hall. As it is I am pretty sure most of us are aware of what a tackle is.

Heh, have you ever seen american football hits? I've watched rugby, and the hits in that game are no where near as hard as seeing a linebacker knock the the F-out a Quarterback.
Laysus2005-08-18 12:33:43
Rugby has 0 padding.

American football you have padding.

Lemme think about this.
