Ya, don't be nub with the eq thing. If you target beckon, IE starcall beckon Narsrim, and say, Narsrim isn't there or is shielded - it treats it as any other attack. If you aren't there, it does nothing (doesn't disrupt eq) and if you're shielded, it says you are and doesn't work/disrupt eq.

Before you discuss skills, learn how they work. There is a fundamental difference between general beckon and targeted beckon which is the same as it always has been in any IRE MUD.

The only bug is beckon going through walls/blocks.

The resisting problem comes from Lusternia's freaky combination of beckon being a summon, and so resistable (it shouldn't be) and targeted beckon being an attack, and so not taking eq.

Who's flaming you Amaru? Aren't you being a little defensive here? I didn't even mention your name once. Crawl back under your rock, and stay there .

If you are incapable of walking (prone, paralyzed, broken legs, etc) then you should also be unable to be beckoned.

I like beckon

*hides in his office from the little American cybernerd*

If only Eiru was American, eh?

Ha, owned my ass.. if he creates the impression he's American when he isn't, he should hide his head in shame.

This is how I picture Eiru right now.

Please Amaru, stop posting pictures of yourself.

Just had to quote that before you edit it out when you see how dumb it looks

So, you think he's your evil twin?
I'm not following where the insult is.

Note:

How about this, then: If beckon truely is working as it was intended, change the message to reflect that? Instead of "walking" away, have them disappear and reappear one room away, or something of that nature.

If it truely IS a 1 room summon, and not a beckon, change the name/text of it and that will fix.. I think all? of the problems mentioned here.

A hideous archdemon and an angel beckon you with their will. Perhaps you should have a scaled chance of resisting it? Like, 99% chance with an imp/cherub, down to, at the least, 40% with the highest type? And with wisps, no chance at all, unless you're sitting on a monolith? *shrug*. I've been wisped through monoliths, but I haven't been about for a while, so ignore the last bit if it's been fixed, wot?

Make resistance to beckon/wisp rely on willpower.

Thus, the finely disciplined mind of the mage or guardian is more able to resist the temptations of the lures, where the brutish and simple one of the warrior is not.

Everyone, put your thoughts and suggestions in the next envoy reports and we will soon find out, won't we?

Woot, envoy reports are being submitted soon.


Make beckon stopped by monos..or make it harder to beckon period. Ceres' idea is okay, but what about all of the smaller people that'd get beckoned away first? We'd have to go in after them.
