Harried on DA:Green? Srsly??

[fco-karatekid]

Cleaning up forgotten favor runs, I jumped into Redwillow's (Hard Skill Level), got around to the bugbear/hobgoblin camp near the Drow encounter, and Dungeon Alert:Green fired... I was expecting _that_.

What I _wasn't_ expecting was an immediate "Harried" state kicking in.

I thought we had to get to like Red (and I've seen Yellow before) before Harried fired... this new?



Off topic:

BTW, can we rename "Hard" to "Advanced" or something???

I hate to have to keep typing "was running Redwillow's Hard Skill Level" in an attempt to avoid typing "was running Redwillow's on Hard".

Sorry Tolero, I will take the warning for that one... had to be said. Been saving up good behavior to pay for that one.

you could always be harried in green... in fact you can get harried without even getting hit.

If you're getting Harried while running on hard your only savior will be grease, use the spell for that. ;-)

Pffft, I'm still saying "Dungeon Alert, are they serious?" Arbitrary game mechanic is arbitrary.

Yup - I am really at a loss understanding how DA is going to help an obviously under-built cluster (or farm thereof)... OTHER THAN had it been temporary.

A whole guild or five worth of folks can still (how long's it been since DA was implemented?) grief the servers into the ground if they think through the mechanics of their accounts, characters, and DA and apply a certain amount of guile.

Had it been a temporary measure until the machines or their operating systems were upgraded, I could have seen that - but as it stands, it's just a way to break the "fourth wall" of the game.

It took me a full day to get it, rofl.
