Okay, during our defense against 'Magnawilde', Raizan held up greatpent and I drop a monolith to make sure NO one enters. Now I am surprised the Moonbeam bypasses monolith where I though monolith prevents any form of magical transportation. If the monolith is suppose to live up its purpose, please let moonbeam be blocked also from the monolith. sad.gif

This is an old, old argument, and nothing's been done about it before. It's limited by being both area only and having a delay like teleport in which you can move away to stop it working.

Moonbeaming into a monolithed room takes almost forever - as long as TELEPORT NEXUS, if I recall correctly.

during the latest raid, it took only 6 seconds and boom they are in

12 seconds to move. Not hard.

EDIT: If it was 6 seconds, YOU DIDN'T HAVE A MONOLITH. sleep.gif

I drop the monolith, I even make sure Raizan didn't have Acquisitio on so that he won't get it

Moonbeam takes 12 seconds to go through if a monolith is on the ground in the room of the person being beamed towards.

If greater pentagram blocks flow, I don't see why it wouldn't block moonbeam.

No to the monolith restriction though.
Shamarah2006-08-16 12:51:10
The thing is that moonbeam pretty much unavoidably goes around greatpentagram. If you moonbeam to the person holding the greatpent, they either have to move to stop it (dropping the greatpent) or it goes through and you're now inside the greatpent.

Something should stop moonbeam.
Unknown2006-08-16 13:03:47
Maybe its a bug that greater pentagram doesn't stop it?
Shamarah2006-08-16 13:10:29
All forms of magical transportation (flow, moonbeam, teleport, etc) go through greatpent. This is not, to my knowledge, a bug.
Ashteru2006-08-16 13:24:31
Greater Pent is too strong as it is for the purposes it is used for, at the moment.


And it's interesting how suddenly Celest complains about it. tongue.gif
Soll2006-08-16 13:30:01
Yes, it really is interesting that Celest is complaining about something they've just found out. Maybe they should have tried raising this fact before they knew about it, or considered it was possible.


You can't complain about something before you realise it's possible, Ashteru. smile.gif

Are you sure about that? I am quite confident that I have attempted to flow to someone in a greater pentagram (quite a while ago) and been prevented. Has that changed?

If not, it would seem to me that moonbeam is more akin to flow than teleport.
