Shattered Kingdoms

This is ridiculous. You're slandering an Imm and then thinking you'll get your item restored? The fact is this, 90% of the people here think that the item in question needed to be wimped. Stop trying to twist your really convoluted RP-impression into some kind of influence on tactics and mechanics. Or you know, keep crying out for Daddy Dulrik...the last bastion of a true loser.

DA: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH"
"WHAT ABOUT ME WHAT ABOUT MY GAMING EXPERIENCE I HATE YOU ALL"

That about sums it up. SSDD

So Dulrik, if I understand you correctly, you say that you should be able activate magical devices or cast magic yourself at will to get out of taunt, right?

If so, please fix your code because it's bugged in so many levels.

Of course, you could also just say that you can't really answer without hurting the image of the immstaff. It's fine, I'd understand.

And stratford, thank you for being off topic yet again. It's an amazing ability.

PS: Achernar, you destroyed a perfectly fine working item. The one that implemented it(wert) said it was working as intended, and your opinion to get it wimped seems to be the opposite of Dulrik, unlike what you claimed. GJ there!

You just don't listen do you. Go read Dulrik's post again.

Game- Set - Match. It's over.

Yeah, and I won. It seems that he is fine with players acting at will to get out of taunt.

You lose stratford, you and your river of tears in the bug discussion.

I actually have no problem with you reciting etherealform. It's easily taken down with holy word or dispel magic. Items that take you out of the room though, nuh-uh.

Does that put your insanity to rest?

It's a unique item. You probably have issues then with items like the GGI's halberd, the Carfashon amulet, the Daybreak and all other powerful unique items.

No, the main point of your whining was that none should have the will to activate any device or magic to get out of harm's way when taunted. That's what the necklace does. That's what etherealform does. It's exactly the same thing.

Finally, if you think you could have succeeded a dispel on my char, I'll laugh at you.

I don't have a problem with those items.

That was NOT my point. You're delusional. Please, quote anywhere I said "Noone should have the will to activate any device or magic to get out of harm's way when taunted."

Taking you out of the room is very different from reciting/zapping ethereal. Like five other people have told you this in this thread alone.

I too, am very proud of the enchanting you've done, DA. It is a true testament to obsessiveness and attention to detail. Good job (Really!)

Oh look! See what I found in bug discussion!



I guess the immortal that wimped it in the first place now saw that he was wrong, Dulrik's opinion is different after all. So please Achernar, show us that you have the decency to stay true to your beliefs(or Dulrik's) and fix back said item.

That, or change taunt code all along to prevent things like etherealform for example while taunted. In which case, you lose again stratford.

Dark-Avenger has probably posted around 40 of this thread's 110 or so replies, because he can't stand not arguing.

Do I think that going ethereal while taunted makes sense? Not really. But if that was removed as an option, taunt would be incredibly overpowered against casters. It's already got a very high success rate and a HUGE int drop: If it removed the possibility for etherealform it would be instant death for all but the most prepared of casters.

On the flip side, even etherealform forces the target to stay in the room until taunt wears off, which means that if the swashie has an ally to either remove etherealform or fight with the target while ethereal, he has plenty of time to do so.

Now that I've said my piece, I'm taking the Dulrik approach to D-A from now on.

His arguments are motivated by what he wants, and they are also logically flawed.

Study plz k thx
