Dont let YOUR firewalls touch MY firewalls!

[Strakeln]

Sorry for the missunderstanding but again, .75 isnt enough to tell others not to cast because youre hoping you will get the crit FW

It is certainly enough to tell others not to cast in a way that causes your casting to be negated.

Is it so hard to not put a firewall on top of someone else's? There's a lot of room in the seven o'clock area.

Just because mana is unlimited doesn't mean everyone should be casting like a fool in there. A little bit of strategy never hurts.

[Hakushi]

From what I observed casting acid fogs, they don't stack, like firewall, I noticed that only the first one casted will apply, not the strongest or the weakest. The oldest one is the one in effect, when it's gone, it's the second oldest, I would guess it's probably the same with firewalls. I might be wrong with what I said, but from my experiments with the acid fog spell, it seems to be right, but I can't prove it.

I seem to get the same impression ... will have to retest but am pretty sure I when they applied the change I tested it out and I placed a wall which was crit and then another on top of it and kept getting crits until the first wall went away - left with the none critting wall. Now when you think about it it does make sense from a coding viewpoint.

[Emili]

I have plenty of crafting planers, I would like to see the actual ITEM....

Is the middle greater tier... it is 1, indeed will have to post a screeny thingy.

Actually one of the things I like about reaver now is that more people can get involved with the raid... clerical BB's, melee health charging doning dual wounders are even more useful then before, ranged combat with a WoP bow in spurtz of many-shot even from the ceiling... the raid has much more appeal imo.

[Lady_Draconus]

just to be sure here, we are talking about the reaver right? the one where 1/2 the group goes afk in the corner? the one where boldrin tells me to stop seeing if i can bounce just right and survive the spikes in the middle? the one where my bard is normally the only healer in the group?

If I go afk in a corner I'm dead. I had someone in our group whinning about others putting down firewalls on top of theirs and then tried to blame me for doing it lol. Funny I was casting acid fog instead of firewall. So it wasn't me!!. It was fun to not have to do the healing this time since I am usually on my cleric.

[jkm]

it's become a more common practice to simply lay down a bunch of Firewalls to dps them, now.

well, that's pretty much the way the gimp used to do it anyway - firewall represents exactly 1/2 of his offensive spell repertoire .

anyway back to the quest, did they get more hit points? the gimp's weak as **** scorching rays can take them out in 2 shots. i guess i'll have to meander in there and see if it is as boring to solo as it was when i left.

oh come now, the spiryl has never let anyone die...unintentionally.

Two consecutive raid wipes while I was on Essene. The first time, there was one other Cleric, and she took a crit for about 40% of her Health bar and later in the raid, I was flushed into the spikes. The Cleric was angry (presumably at my inability to heal her while she was down) and dropped from the reform.

The remainder grew tired of waiting for a second Cleric to join and took a Bard, instead. Upon joining the raid, he announced that he ". . .had plenty of wands to backup heal." I was worried by that comment, but held my peace. Once the orbs were all lit, we had only one death and I thought we were doing well, but the mt got flight and rather than going for the Kill Switch, she hovered at the Reaver's head, swinging with a two-hander. As the raid's personnel were slowly whittled away, it turned out that the Bard had gone afk.

It's a shame, too. It may have been my best performance ever on Essene, as my healing efforts in the second attempt were epic.

[Gruntus]

Gruntis you are right you had more kills than 3. I was the party leader tho. I am sorry if asking you not to stack FWs was such a bad thing. I'm sorry that I explained this the way I have. But you did get fly out the mouth over voice chat in a raid. And you did post on the forums flaming me, calling me anal several times and saying things that were not the case. But I will say I'm sorry to you that I made you feel this bugged.


I am sorry dude
now lets play the game and have fun that ok?

NP man. I should have asked you what was up, instead of letting it bother me and "flying off at the mouth". I could have avoided the confrontation as well and thats my bad. All good

"took a crit"? in the reaver? once again, you aren't making sense, dude. i know your sane, because essene once again ended up in the spikes

i meandered in there on the gimp yesterday, it didn't seem any different than before.

IS THE WORLD GOING MAD?

It's about the same on Normal, but the Elementals are really tough on Elite.

i'm sorry, when did the reaver allow you to go in on normal?

[Mithran]

lol. Good point.

[Quanefel]

Sorry to hear that OP.

Something you could have done would be to grab a piece of paper, use your mic and proceed to crumple it up as you talked to him with the words:

So..r..y c..n..t h..r y..o, you a..e br..kin up....

Then continue what you wanted to do and if he starts using party chat to talk to you, ask someone to translate for you his words into russian since you only can read russian but speak english. Or...something similar like that. >.>

alright, went through it on the gimp. looks like they tripled their hit points and changed the puzzle to not pop the fire or earth ellies anymore. actually made it much much easier at the end (those fire ellies were a pain for me). all in all, not too much different except the lag is still there.

with the new air elemental guard

[Mithran]

I'm surprised you're getting lag in there.

Zed: "Bring out the gimp."
Maynard: "I think the gimp's sleeping."
Zed: "Well, I guess you're gonna hafta to go wake him up now, won't you?"

Once we make enough noise to wake him up, the gimp's pretty nasty.

[jkm]

have i mentioned how much his equipment sucks now? i forgot i never finished his ooze maul. i also forgot that he'd been wearing his madstone boots so the first 3 minutes were serious panic time(thus no healing pots left ).

[Mithran]

Don't heal people I'm healing!

[seldarin]

*CAUTION RANT*

So i was busy all yeserday and night, but have had plenty of time to think about this and debate if im in the wrong or not. So if you guys could please continue in your Khyber flaming ways and put me in my place, or reassure me that there are really just people out there that anal, I would really appreciate it!

PZ Guys

Gruntis

Trust me mate there are really ppl out there that are that anal. Like the ones that think that no one else has a better barbarian than them, that even if someone is built the same with everything identical, weaponry etc, that THEY will still out dps them. Had someone in reaver last nite saying that no one out DPS's them, guess they must solo a lot

No matter where you go there is always someone totally anal that thinks that no one else knows anything about anything and couldnt possibly be anywhere near as good as them.
