POP question

[Daedalis]

Hi Everyone,
Question: is the last room suppose to dispel all AOE spells when the "scenery" changes? It was just something I was noticing last night while running with my wizzy. Everytime I would put down a firewall within a few seconds it would disappear, and i noticed that solid fog and the dancing disco ball would disappear too when the room changed from area to area.

I know that Mr. C will pop around the room, and I kind of like that, makes it more interesting. And I know that AOE's cast in the room before Mr. C activates will be dispelled, but should they dispell during the fight? I can only throw out so many extended/maximumized firewalls before I'm drained on mana. Just curious. I'm running it again tonight to see if maybe it was a bug during that instance.

Thanks,
Dae

Yes. Per the published release notes, a planar switch effect will replace all lingering spell effects already in the room with blank atmosphere.

That is primarily important for the other rooms in Prison of the Planes, so you cannot fill Mabar or Dolruh with five maximized Wall of Fires before it even starts.

IIRC from my a very successful post-patch run, AOE spells cast on the outer edge do not get dispelled. I may be wrong, but we had great luck just grouping the party in a corner and laying down a couple of nice firewalls, a blade barrier and some other stuff. When the WF teleports we just wait for him to come running back to us - through the BB and into the FW.

I seem to remember the scenery changing a few times while we did that, but I could be misrembering.

I know about before the room starts that all AoEs get dispelled, but this was during the fight and each time the room changed to a different setting.

I ran this last night (successfully 3 times) the only difference was that when the guy aggro'ed on us, someone accidently clicked on him and talked to him (while aggro'ed). The AoE spells worked like they always did after that. So I don't know if talking to him corrected it or if it was just a glich for that one run....5 wipes .

The only thing I can say is.....I love this game!!!!
