Its time to put out the torch

[Jefro]

How many been in a litany of the dead run and someone stand on a torch in the cage at the dragon and it closes. Whenever I stop warning people, ding someone get stuck and waits 30 mins for a GM. Of course GM does not get the general idea of why they get stuck..asking them to recall out lol. This been broken for abit.
anyways, how many been in such a run :P

Well, people were asking for mean traps that aren't all about damage, and the Devs delivered...

I'm surprised, most people that are flagged for Litany and interested in running it generally know it backwards (i.e. well enough to not only know not to do that, but how to answer the dragon quiz as well).

To be honest, this is the first time I've heard of this issue. I've only had one case where a person was left behind in the black dragon's cage and it was because the dragon's questions were answered before the person could get all the way down.

I didn't know about it either. I've been staying on a torch plenty of times before, just for fun.
Maybe something has changed since then? (I haven't run it in a very long time)

Once the final questions are done.. .the cage floor opens and everyone drops. About 5s later... the cage door closes. If you were standing on the torch and went afk during question time, you'll get locked up in the cage. Someone should adjust the standable geometry on the torches to protect us from ourselves.

Personally, I'd really like them to update the tome page drop %'age from this quest to about double what it is now. With shroud items and Mod 9 coming, I don't know if people will be able to tolerate the current number of runs to get a tome page book. When Mod5 was on Risia the pages dropped almost 2/3 runs per character. These days you'll see people key a new character through all 4 wings... and no tome pages across all those runs for anyone.

Also for Mod 9... if they could increase the rate for the 3 green lights in the central "ambush" to about half the current time spent waiting.

Honestly, now that the chest is located in the instance and not outside they should just keep the gate open.

I have seen people go afk on the torches. we either end up going on without them or recalling and restarting. As has been said, it's a good thing that those that do usually run LOtD know it well enough not to have this happen to them.

Thanks guys, I'll look into the torch physics here. :D

Maybe you just don't run with guildies enough.

While you are in litany, you can still lounge on the torches in Kai-Teng's room and probably ought not be able to.. funny imagining me balancing in the fire from a torch...

[Anthios888]

I've gotten stuck on those torches before, but I've always avoided them since then. Glad it's getting looked into :)

This one hit me just the other day as when I fell into the cage I landed on the torch, so just stayed there. BAM! No more quest for you!
