self ammo poison bow nerfs

[neimanz1]

These bows use to poison on every hit but of course it did not stack. But i notice yesterday it stop poisoning on every hit. So I got an assist and got referral of course. I tested the bow countless times back then and so have a few others. But I find it pretty disturbing what they gm said to me. Pretty much said to me I got lucky those times. I mean its one thing to nerf an item. At least own up to it. So if you have one of those bows please let me know if they have been change as well.

wow, that sucks, that was the one thing that really made them unique. Sorry Neimanz, that's just are terrible change.

[neimanz1]

yea but they can't even owning up to nerfing something . saying some bullshit like the code hasn't been changed since 2007.

[WRoss]

I had 4 containers nerfed, an now owning up to it. It's too bad that Sirina and Solomon are so stuck up that they send the lowers to deal with it. It'd be great if they'd announce changes that they make. I honestly feel that it is a "case by case" scenario. Whereas someone who uses an item, as intended, creates a result that was unexpected, gets nerfed.

I have a crossbow version, and it still poisons every time but it hardly has any messaging for it. At least this is true against other players.

Thanks,

Might want to check again

I owned one of those, and it did not flare on every shot.

They don't flare on every shot but they do poison on every successful hit. There is no special messaging.

[neimanz1]

It doesn't poison on every shot now

[Elvenlady]

I'll test mine out later today if I have a chance and get back to you.

Sucks if that's the case!

There was a raffle in RR for poison flares the other day. A GM probably sifted through the code to prep it to be a prize and "fixed" it.

[neimanz1]

Ok they fix it. I think it might have been just been me. Strange things have been happen to me lately. Just 2 or 3 weeks ago one of my feature alteration just disappear. Maybe i pissed off the wrong people.

There was a raffle in RR for poison flares the other day. A GM probably sifted through the code to prep it to be a prize and "fixed" it.

The raffle was for a "sample" of poison, ie single use... the new poison lasts roughly 10 minutes give or take, poisons on every swing followed by a flare of the poison exploding from the body causing a second round of damage (about 5 seconds after the swing)... The new poison CAN be used on flaring, weighted, and blessed weapons so long as they aren't zested. Gonna try to see if the new stuff can be combined with the old pourable poison when I get a chance since for the time being I've only got one shot of it.

Apparently there are a few vials of 10 use floating around in the wilds between Icemule and the Landing and the rest will probably be released off the shelf at EG.

heh, when they nerfed my book they did announce it... they announced it as a forum wide game announcement as if it mattered to everyone when it was only my item. That was kind of annoying on the other end of the scale.

[Asha]

You have the most fucking annoying sig ever.

Is it possible that the bows themselves were not at all effected directly, but in changing something semirelated, it had the effect of changing the bows?
