But it's not rude for Neo-Nazis to march in Skokie(sp?)? Their speech is protected, just as religious peoples' music is.

Iyachtu

My basic problem is that while yes, I'm a Christian, I'm not the sort of Christian most people are used to. I don't walk around all the time trying to force other people to listen to my morality. I do occasionally listen to Christian music, and that creates issues for me with some people. I could ca...

That's just it... I do treat all religions equally. If there were just as many Chaunnakah and Kwanzaa songs being played in Wal-Mart as there are Jesus songs, I wouldn't have a problem. But there aren't... it's completely one-sided. As for Iyachtu, I have no idea what he's talking about. Looks like...

It's not appropriate to play religious music in a public setting. Based on what, precisely? Certainly not the founding fathers. Sure, modern American society would like to tell you that they were against religious ceremonies in a public setting, but it's simply not the case. Jefferson used federal ...

The economic boom of the 90's didn't occur until after the Republicans wrested a majority in the house away from the Democrats. The resulting gridlock between a Democratic president and a Republican house (the best of all possible scenarios) radically limited the increase in spending, and as the eco...

Ensis, the technicality was this: In 1991, Saddam agreed to a peace contingent on him allowing UN Inspectors access to his country, to supervise the destruction of his WMDs. These WMDs were believed to be in existence for several reasons, the chief among them the fact that he had previously used the...

Sounds like an unintended consequence. I'll take a look at what the chance is set to. No promises. :)

OK. Can I use an Ogre?

Iyachtu

No, actually, it all goes away at the same time. But if after every mem, or in the case of a necro, eveyr time you stop, you can refresh it. Then it won't run out at all. And yes, I've used it zoning as a necro. And my necro has like a 60 str (might be 62) Btw, refresh means casting it ONCE, not a b...

Iyachtu

Why Llaaldara has 60 str. I thought, "Hey I can cast the spell, why do I need a high str?" I didn't realize the spell lasts a whopping 5-10 mins and only increases your str +3 per cast. Having a low str on her has hurt me. I cannot recieve a reduce or I'm immobile. This means I'll spend all combat ...

I remember my wife commenting, when she first moved out to L.A. about the beautiful sunset. Unfortunately I had to inform her that it was the smog causing that particular color.

Hey, don't be touching my halfling warrior's dex! It comes in extremely handy (particularly since I never play him). Other than the fact that he's at moderate load wearing eq that my dorf is at paltry, and the fact that he can bash say... 10% of the creatures out there, he rocks! Incidentally, the d...

Iyachtu

Players can also riposte (this is the only situation I've seen mobs attack while casting) while casting. Oh yeah, about this, can you riposte a spell? I've cast an offensive spell on a blinded mob who was in the middle of casting a spell and when the spell completed the mob hit me to initiate comba...

Iyachtu

Note: riposting and parrying without a weapon does require a shield.

Iyachtu

Players can parry and riposte without using a weapon. Players can also riposte (this is the only situation I've seen mobs attack while casting) while casting. What's the question?

Iyachtu

I will say that pets moving and stop casting when you move hurt the method I used to land wither. But once again, whatever. Wither was best to hit when I got bashee wail. By then pets didn't need help hitting. Spells seems kinda useless:P Wither is fantastic when you're level 26, fighting level 30-...

Iyachtu

The raw circle number doesn't directly affect a spell's chance of landing. Some spells (a fairly small list) do have a modification for the mob's save chance. Some of the higher circle spells, basically. There are also a few spells that will affect the mob's spell save chance, such as Hex, Curse, an...

Iyachtu

my point is that why is a spell that's just a nother version of faerie fire so hard to land? there is no reason for that. and when i'm xp'ng i rarely area..and even then the wilt effect is rather rare. and banshee wail is AREA spell. Just another version, which stacks with faerie fire and other spe...

We needa add the purple worm proc to that beaver, obviously.

Well, you're trying to use a 3rd circle spell on 46+ mobs, basically. Keep in mind that Abi's (it's one of the areas, think it's Abi's) has a smaller wither affect that it does on the room, and banshee wail will help any affect like this to land. Also, it would absolutely stun and amaze me if pets ...

so my next question is this: why is it so much harder to notch physical stats past 100 than it is mental? I can understand there being a slight difference in how often they notch, depending on the race, but a 20+ point difference seems a bit extreme (especially on a human, who is supposed to have n...

Iyachtu

i would have to agree with rylan here. Although rogues do have an INSANELY easy exp table by comparison. With damage exp figured in, plus kill exp, they level faster than any other class in the game. Should this be? maybe, maybe not. For the sake of reason, perhaps warriors should have a lesser exp...

Iyachtu

They all do, though the specific numbers are dependant on race.

Iyachtu

Your mom.

I guess I'll have to do.

Iyachtu

Verified, by equipping on test, that you can indeed get a notch past 115 (that actually reduces prayer time). :)

This difference was noticeable memming 4 greater realms.

Iyachtu

From what I can tell, it never really went away. You probably just had a much higher success than normal, which allowed it a chance to hit one extra minute on the duration. Yippee. *sigh*

Iyachtu

It hasn't been removed. Either you have something gagged or something strange happened in this situation. The code hasn't changed.

Iyachtu

The best way to test this is to use a low-level character (roll up a newbie if you want), and see how many 'notches' you hit with wisdom or int (since these notches are only visible in pray/mem times, the longer your intial memtime the more detail you can discern). Level plays a role in this formula...

Iyachtu

I worked on the code that was used later to implement this. I made some changes later on it, so I'll look at this one to see if I can modify it to work appropriately.

BTW, does this same problem happen with timestop?

Iyachtu

So, now that it's been in for a few days, any barb shamans notice a difference?

Be careful how you evaluate dice (not that the post is right or wrong in substance, but the mechanics of damage): 8d4 is not the same as 4d8, even though they both top out at 32 damage. 8d4 on average will do (8 * 2.5) = 20 damage. 4d8 on average will do (4 * 4.5) = 18 damage. They look the same, bu...

I've read this thread and will look into the issue of fumbling, particularly on very high level characters. Can't really say this will change. Just wanted people to know it's been noticed by the coding staff.

Well, I was the one that did the revamp of the class, so I guess I'll chime in. When the stat was switched from wis to int, it APPEARED to the players that this was a major change. In actuality, it has very little impact on gameplay. The reason this statistic was changed was because the skills have ...

OK, here's the situation: Deep in the bowels of the code, there's a check that pulls what the save value for the different classes and races should be.

OK. I bit, and spent about 30 minutes studying and testing the code. As far as I can tell (and I used debug lines to test the values) there's nothing broken with the para either for major paralysis or prism. Shamans do have a worse save than some other classes on that particular save, but that's not...

Iyachtu

Actually, mob damage and player damage really aren't all that related. If you doulbled played +damage, and doubled weapon dice, that doesn't effect mobs at all.

For those occasions where a mob is actually wielding the weapon, raising the dice would indeed cause a sizable increase in damage.
