Didn't think anyone here would drop that song in a thread.

[Parkbandit]

Go go gadget mechanic abuse!

Simutronics had plenty of opportunities to fix this with what every other game out there has.. a 10-20 second log out lag. They decided they didn't want it for their game.. so I'm not sure we can actually classify it as mechanic abuse since Simutronics almost promotes it as one of their features.

[NocturnalRob]

Does incant work for spellsongs?

Incant! Incant! Incant!

yes, it does. but in the cast of 'incant 1030' it only targets one mage. i wanted to wipe them all out.

[Methais]

Let's go beat him up.

[NocturnalRob]

i would love to. that guy sucks ass.

[Ignot]

didnt they used to have it so when you logged if in combat and came back in some big creature would come out and kill you? I know it worked for when you got disconnected...

[NocturnalRob]

yeah, the critter comes back enraged. he was already dead though. i was just trying to rescue.

This happens to Zaaak the in other thread, but he just logs on and off until stun is over then voln fogs out as soon as he logs back on.

Also, see SomeRogue's link: http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?t=35678&highlight=zaaak. This isn't the first time he has been caught doing this.

yeah, he's a bitch wizard. stunned and prone in a room with two mages and a pending cloud? he was about to get fucked up.

I'm not defending him, just pointing out that he wasn't "already dead". He does suck.

[NocturnalRob]

i gotcha...well, next time no rescue attempt will be forthcoming, and he can just do his little mechanics abuse thing. whatever.

We need to get Nub to report him

I would've gone for "Drag zaa se".

Or if not that, why not song of peace? When playing hero, aim for the largest effect in the shortest time. I've seen 1030 kill so many people already. Not that it isn't a bitch move to log out.

Remember, no good deed goes unpunished.

good point. i r fail.

Song of Peace got nailed by the nerf bat.

Wait. You're not the original, right?

[Elvenlady]

No he's not. I'm still in contact with the original owner and he gets all nostalgic when I tell him about all his old characters biting it so often.

[NocturnalRob]

That's because the original owner (who I will not name) never used/trained Arasleaf to hunt, only to purify.

That, in my mind, is a huge waste. Sorry he's all nostalgic. Arasleaf is awesome and I love hunting with him. Tough titties.

[Allereli]

If Rob were the slightest bit more careful, Arasleaf would never die. He's great on the offense, sucks on the defense.

No! Defense is for nancy poops!!
