Ithzir Broken?

[nocturnix]

I am in discussions with GMs right now, but since I upgraded my Ithzir at EG I have not had one flare. I have been struck several times in combat over the last months, and am not wearing an armor concealer. After a quick google search it seems there are many others experiencing this (http://www.tinyheroes.com/forums/GemStone%20IV/Quests%60Sagas%60Events/Ebon%20Gate%20Festival/thread/1541796) which leads me to believe we may have a major bug with ithzir.

Will update as info comes in from GMs, but just wanted to post in case anyone else has noticed their ithzir isnt flaring: you are not alone friend.

FYI - it worked fine before, but I cant say when it stopped working. It may have even stopped working before EG, hard to say.

Cheers.

Damn, son. Makin' it sound all official and shit.

I read that shit and James Earl Jones popped into my head.

This is serious business young man. (in james earl jones voice)

My set is working fine.

I dont think it's affecting everyone. And have not determined yet who it is affecting. Could be a certain Tier, could be people who were upgraded recently. We shall see.

I noticed mine hasn't been procing at all. Hmm!

Let me know how it goes. Wondering if they'll do a mass fix or individuals will need to get help.

Another interesting thing is that at EG some people had Ithzir flares added to armor which didn't have it, but suddenly they had like the full boat.

I've had 3 slots added to mine and it's still only t2 support tier. (cry)

Did you buy the Ithzir flare pass?

I'm not sure exactly what the problem you're saying people are having lately, but this has been weird/buggy since I added it at EG.

In addition to those issues, I sent an email to Varulv right after EG and testing with 3 improvement requests but never heard back. I haven't seen him post (which was rare anyway) on the officials and he missed EG due to some OOG issues I heard so not sure what's up.

Personally I find that they work for bandit hunting on Teras but won't proc in nelemar (tier 0). Additionally, they are bugged so that sometimes a bandit will mstrike me while i'm prone and instead of proccing me safely a room away, the bandit just mstrikes me with no hits. No misses, it just seems to be like when you mstrike a piece of furniture where you break out into a bunch of swings but no AS/DS resolutions.

Yea, that's what I see. I'm not sure if this is what nocturnix is referring to as a recent change though since that has happened to me since the I got the script.

None of the capped hunting areas fire off the fog (which pleases me!), as far as I understand. I know the Rift doesn't and I've heard any place you can't transport (fog/ring) into.

I probably should post this on the officals but the updates I request are:


Would it be possible to update ANALYZE to include what tree the tier unlock is at? With so many possible unlocks now in different trees it could get confusing. Also I have T1 now and a friend has T0 but both show the same 3 verb traps. I discovered at least three more so far on mine though (tap, rub, and shrug) - can the unlock verbs be included in analyze?

I read your post about the new trees/tiers last year and went for a healing tree unlock (T1). My aim was to use armor charges manually with shrug at T3 or T4 to heal down wounds that prevented looting, dragging, casting. I just now re-read the krakiipedia post and noticed in your example that even at T4, the SHRUG ability leaves a scar. I was under the assumption for some reason that the wound became a lesser rank wound (no scar from the previous wound). The scar(s) would still prevent me from casting, dragging, or looting without further herb eating (yea I'm lazy and why I wanted the script!)

Would it be possible for the use to not leave scars, at least at the highest tier of the tree?

Thanks for your consideration and this is now a highly detailed script that I'll likely be chasing over the next 10 EGs (and hopefully other events). Oh, speaking of...does the 9 tier limit include the T0 base? Or can I fully unlock 2 trees plus a T1 of another tree?

[Roblar]

I just noticed I didn't even request the ability to toggle on/off the fogging aspect.

As a berserking warrior, I am only interested in the script for the additional tiers/abilities he added just before EG 2013. I currently try to waste the charges off when I can using SHRUG, it has cost me many a traveler escort.

But the UPDATE and bug should be fixed, and I highly encourage top tier to not leave a scar behind! :)

[nocturnix]

It was due to the fogging mechanics where I hunt being limited, as mentioned in above posts. Thats why it wasnt firing! (Duh).

Anyways, if it cant fog you, do the flares have any benefit at all?

There are three other "trees" with many additional tiers, in addition to the fogging, that you can unlock.
