Blight Update 165

[phoenixmagi]

LOL Steel run around and scream or bend over and pucker up.

[Grodec]

t VI silos and guild houses are not working. You can take items out but not put anything in.

[Drevar]

Odd. I know they should be insane with all those abilities, but I find them only as tough as the Kwellen Berserkers or the Task Masters with thier double multistrikes.

The technomancers are still a joke, though.

Drev

[phoenixmagi]

Dragon or Bi-ped Drev ?

[Drevar]

Biped, Ranger main, with lots of support from multiclassing. Still, the old event mobs give me more trouble.

[AmonGwareth]

The technomancers are still a joke, though.

Details would be nice. Do they use multiple abilities? Are they easy to hit? Do they hit you? Etc.

Same with the named Technomancer. He's pretty soft. Aside from blighted mind the Technomancer really present no challenge. They have an enormous hit point pool, but that just makes it a long fight..


Will T6 Guild house and silo issues be addressed before the weekend? Not being able to put anything in them is starting to suck.

Will Terrain que be coming back as well? I for one enjoy knowing that i've got terrain loading in, helps me know when to attack and when to wait for que

[Drevar]

About the same results with me. I can initiate an autoattack and step away and come back to a dead technomancer and me at 100% health. He misses a lot and when he does hit the damage is low enough that a Regrowth V pulse heals me back up to full. I'm not using specific damage resistant armor, its all stat teched. Also, I only have 10 monk levels, so the mob isn't missing due to high evasion.

All the techno's abilities seem to fire fine, but about 95% of those that have a chance to miss, do.

[AmonGwareth]

Okay, excellent. Thank you.

Now, feedback about other monsters please.

• Scavenger or Hunter Scorpions
• Sand Crabs
• Twisted (or Degraded) Automatons
• Defiled (or Corrupted) Shades

Anything about those?

Corrupted Shades are a good fight and if ya don't watch your arse they will lay ya on your back. Heavy stuns, as expected from a wizzie.

Bonesnapper is an even Softer version of the Risen Technomancers.

06/03/09 23:34:54] Hunter Scorpion hit you with Scorpion Deadly Tail Attack IV for 87 slash damage.
[06/03/09 23:34:54] Hunter Scorpion hit you with Scorpion Deadly Tail Attack IV for 75 slash damage.

[06/03/09 23:35:01] You hit Hunter Scorpion with Thunder V for 186 nature damage.

Hunter Scorpions have great damage output, 4 of them on me with my druid and it was almost lights out. That poison does good damage and does make a huge difference when its there or not.

[06/03/09 23:19:56] Scavenger Scorpion missed you with Scorpion Left Pincher Attack IV.

[06/03/09 23:20:02] Scavenger Scorpion hit you with Moderate Poison for 120 nature damage.

Scav Scorps seem fine as well, they are mixed in with some undead so that adds to the challenge of them a bit.

these guys turn any damage you hit them with into blight damage on the combat log. I can crack them extremely hard for hitting them with a 1 handed trip socketed club. having Guardians force on seems to jack the damage up pretty good.

[Velea]

Will T6 Guild house and silo issues be addressed before the weekend? Not being able to put anything in them is starting to suck.

My membership to the "Psychic Game Developer's Association" has expired, I'm afraid. Unfortunately that means I am no longer able to fix something simply based on a question of when it will be fixed.

(In other words, this is the first any of us are hearing of a problem, so details are needed before we can fix that which we didn't know was broken.)

[phoenixmagi]

t VI silos and guild houses are not working. You can take items out but not put anything in.

Thought since it was posted that someone was aware of it

[Velea]

I'm sorry, but "not working" is not reporting something.

In order to fix something, we need to know what happens. Error messages, conditions, what you've tried to do, what you haven't, etc.

Your own combat log here says otherwise about the blight damage.

[phoenixmagi]

Syphon is spirit damage, not blight. That is the only spell that's showing.

I didn't word it properly i do apologize for that.

Any damage you CAST on these guys gets turned into blight damage.

[Velea]

Any damage you CAST on these guys gets turned into blight damage.

This is a known issue. It is not, in fact, doing Blight damage, it just appears that way.

Known Issues
Feedback from combat with certain monsters who use a damage absorption shield as one of their skills is displaying an erroneous message. The message will appear as if the ability being used is doing the wrong damage type but still doing damage. In fact, what is happening is that the monster's ability is absorbing that particular damage type and no damage is being done.

[AmonGwareth]

Thanks.

Couple other questions. Has anyone made it into Old Rachival? And what about the Frozen Tower for the Biggletorque quests? Or the Dragon Spirit Lair?

[phoenixmagi]

kk known issue on the damage shield absorption thinga-ma-dohicky.

T6 silo and guild house issue is only affecting any resource below t6. I'm able to move adamantium bars freely between t6 silo's. I can also put them in and take them out of t6 guild house.

t1-5 are not permitted to be placed in the T6 structures. Thank you vel for giving me some t6 resources to test this with.

As for making it into old rachival, your speaking of the area bonesnapper hangs out correct ?

Yes. Looking for feedback on lots of areas. Thanks for all of the feedback thus far.

1. Old Rachival. How do the spawns feel? Did you do the Noncas sunscope quest to get to OR?

2. Frozen Tower. how were the spawns near it? Did you do the biggletorque quests to get there?

3. How is the loot for all monsters you've encountered in the revamped areas? Stormy March, Bannock's Ridge, Proving Grounds, OR.

4. Anyone done any of the Tradok's Stand quests?

5. Has any Dragon gone to see Allathos yet?

[Velea]

Ah, thank you Sabo. Now I know what's going on and can fix it for the next delta.
