Why did the thread disappear?
=====================

Anyway Narsrim, he's my response to you.--
I'd like to point out that the comments here are vastly incorrect. Geb pegged some of the concerns as I would have (hinting at why you got kept in without showing the strategy)

Pits have a few bugs still, yes, but what you posted is not a bug Narsrim. I can engage you every balance, though that neither stops you every time nor does has any benefit beyond engaging you just once. Without trying to be insulting, the problem rests with your curing inabilities in this situation. If you review the log carefully you should be able to figure out why you got kept in the pit. In fact, Geb and I are really the only people who use that strategy effectively, so you have little to worry about from the playerbase. I also chuckle at people's reliance on flying to escape pits rather than learning how to cure out of them; think of the poor non-flying warriors and others who have to learn the hard way.

Uh... I guess you didn't actually finish reading the thread because they figured out why engage was stopping it - it was because of the rune of Absorption and forcefield.

Says who... Exactly.

Says testing.

Interesting. From the snippet log by Narsrim, there were other reasons why he did not escape the pit. Perhaps there was more than just the curing problems.

My only guess is that you're talking about sever nerve, but if that's the case there was at least one of those logs where he was kept in the pit without getting severed tendon. If that's not what you're talking about, then move on and ignore me...

EDIT: Meant sever nerve...

It didn't disappear. It was renamed. Pit bug / concern. Read it. Be enlightened.

I tested with Livictus. Anytime I have forcefield up, engage 100% blocks the next form of movement. I clearly posted this in the other thread. You have this rather nasty habit of telling people they need to learn to "cure" better, but reality check - this was a bug.

I was unaware of the forcefield problem. That said, there were other reasons you stayed in the pit as well.

When you come to Mag finally I'd be happy to show you what exactly stops pit movement

I'm not so sure about that actually. In each of the logs he got the 'Geb lashes out at you as you try to leave' message which is -only- given when you usually leave the room. Without the Forcefield/Absorption bug that probably means that at that point he would have climbed out.. hence he didn't mess up curing. If he had the climb would have cancled and he'd not gotten the message.

That thread was closed by Estarra because she didn't want people using the forums to bitch about bugs, or something like that

Ya just read it.. Although, would that 'bug reporting on the forums' include posting about skill concerns where you're honestly not sure why something happened, or what happened and would like some input? That is basically what Narsrim did (excluding the stuff about Geb and Envoy). After it was identified as a bug fine close it.. but should topics like that in general be forbidden? I think no one would have thought of a bug here, rather that pits or engage needed a nerf or something..

I dunno, I was just answering a question
