New /stuck command!

[TFPAQ]

What it will attempt to do is scoot you back to the last spot you were that you were still running around freely (so to speak). If you are held by something in the game (like tripped or other such "zomg I can't move" circumstances) the effect will still be on you. You can only use /stuck once per day.

use my /stuck right now to log in?

... just wondering ...


... sheesh, where is everyone's sense of humor?

... oh... nm

It would be work, but there should be an animation of your character trying to pull his foot out of a hole or something and a big "POP!" when you type the command.

HEY! Maybe we should all just play with sock puppets!

This is not my usual type of post, but even my patience are being tried. No offense, but you are way too easily pleased.

I have been stuck maybe 5 times in 3 years and 3 of those times I found my own way out using a DDoor or some other thing. I guess some will find this useful and cool, but these little teasers are getting lame.

Please give us something to sink our teeth into. You gotta do better than this Tolero.

Dex was here.

I play a lot of PD. I have been stuck 4 or 5 times. A few times I waited over an hour to get out. On a non-PD toon this is less of a big deal, as at lev 16 I have ways of getting out and have no fear of death. This news excited me. Would I like more . . . sure, but that does not mean I can't like what little tidbits we do get.

Right up until this I was loving this

[Uska]

Good point....I can count the number of times I couldn't get out of a stuck spot by myself on one hand.

I have gotten stuck much more mainly by jumping around and seeing where I can get while waiting for slowpokes.

No but I can always use the /paper shredder on release notes for some extra fun

As stated above, I too like the humor here.

For a second I thought it was a threat, then I realized you have to have MOD 9 to make any release notes useful so shread away!

[BigBadBarry]

Actually I think once per day is fine.

I have been stuck maybe 4 times in 3 years - happens very very rarely.

If you are getting stuck more than once a week - let alone a day - then you are doing something wrong compared to the rest of us.

AND let's be honest - there will as some point most liekly be some nefarious reason to use it as Tolero put it that once per day would be fine.

Can you fit the release notes in the shredder after shredding our subscription dollars on an un-loggable/playable game?

Thx for the info.
All info is good...thank you.
And it sounds like a good fix.

Could you guys make something that would move dropped keys, etc to another place?
Maybe back to the original location of the guy who dropped it?
It's been awhile but I think keys still end up behind walls...etc.

I know Eladrin had been working on some changes to try and keep breakable objects from going inside of walls, and whether or not that work carried over into objects from the boss monsters, like keys, I'm unsure. I'll see what I can find out.

[Hambo]

Or a /MackerelSmack command for those special moments where one could be fun to use?

I LIKE This one... If we can use it in the Forums...

[Hendrik]

Well as I said in the vote threads, there is a ceiling on how cool my tidbits can be... I can't steal stuff out from under the press tour peeps oO

But Jerry should scoop all other press sites!




Once a day seems a little low but then again most people know how to get out of stuck location as well.

Nice addition IMO and has the potential to free up some CS time for more 'important' issues.

Will there be an 'auto-report' feature that would send a bug report on the location? Might be a valuable tool.

This is good to hear. It is kinda annoying to get a nice potion only to find it is inaccesable.

I remember a couple of situations in the past when the command would have been very helpful. Going into new content, it seems a useful command to me.

[Ironforge_Clan]

One way to deal with the possible exploit issue and to make the /stuck command work better is to have it port you back to the beginning of a dungeon entrance similar to DD. When in an explorer area this could be a pain especially in the Sub so then it should port you back to the last portal entry point. When running around town it could be the closest tavern.

This would get the command to work as closely to the LoTR command from which this is stemming without, I would think, too much fuss. As for the number of times per day while 1x day is low much more than that and it will be abused to no end.

Also if you could get the command to automatically bug report that would be great for two reasons. First it would save us the players from having to deal with it and secondly the devs can see if it is being abused and by whom.

[flaviolimafaria]

how about a /lag ?

[Drfirewater79]

Have you ever gotten stuck in a corner? Caught between a rock and a hard place? Hung up in a tree? In Module 9, you can use the /stuck command to get out of sticky situations! By typing /stuck, your character will be scooted out of the stuck spot to freedom! Don’t forget to submit a bug report if you happen to find a stuck spot so no one has to be stuck by that spot again!

ALL THE BAD THINGS I COULD SAY THEY ARE NOW IRRELIVANT

THANK GOD FOR /STUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love you guys.

[Drfirewater79]

I dislike the once per day ... myself cause in the case of new missions when you might get stuck in one place mucking around as you wait for someone to come back from afk
and then use it then next mission something happens and now your waiting for half hour for support team to help you out.

Think its better if you do it once per mission instead that way people aren't using it as a exploit.
