Aeryn prolonged suicide and stuff (all still b13)

#1 Post by overtrix »

Maybe this has long since been fixed, or is no longer an issue, dunno.

The Istari are dead (maybe they should "lie dead before you" instead of "stand dead before you") and the creatures from portals have vanished. While we take some final timed-effect damage from Pallando and fire drake hatchlings, have a little chat and then start to head for the portal. Meanwhile ...

Aeryn starts casting spells on her own head - goes through her whole list, e.g.

Code: Select all

[LOG]	High Sun Paladin Aeryn casts Martyrdom.
USING	table: 07FBB740	Martyrdom
checkHit	87	15.5
=> chance to hit	95
[LOG]	High Sun Paladin Aeryn is a martyr.
Then while the game from my PoV hangs, she's taking ever-diminishing damage - thousands upon thousands of times.

Code: Select all

[FACTION]	sunwall	sunwall	75	true
[PROJECTOR] starting dam	2.9233088819531e-271
[PROJECTOR] after difficulty dam	2.9233088819531e-271
[PROJECTOR] res	25.5981646944	0.744018353056	 on dam	2.9233088819531e-271
[PROJECTOR] after resists dam	2.1749954598247e-271
[PROJECTOR] final dam	2.1749954598247e-271
[LOG]	High Sun Paladin Aeryn hits High Sun Paladin Aeryn for #YELLOW#0.00 light damage#LAST#.
It took a long while for the damage to reach 2.17e-271 but to be fair, she must have been pretty exhausted at that stage :)

At the start of all this there's mention of her attacking a fire drake hatchling, which has already been removed from the scene. Guess that some loose end isn't being tidied away. Or she's attention-seeking, wants Canderel II to stay and - well, this isn't a pr0n site.

The thing with the miraculous Bone Shield, remember you saying it had been prevented post-b13 but that it shouldn't have been happening anyway. Still with the version before your fix, this time a melee character so might be another clue about what was going on - doesn't seem always to happen, but quite often.

Hit the Orc Corruptor, chip away its Bone Shield, rinse and repeat, then ...

(a) Keep hitting it, normal damage is reported - can continue this indefinitely, the orc shows still 100% HP but takes no action.

(b) Stop hitting it and walk away - crash bang whallop, it's firing spells at you.

(c) Go back and give it some greatsword, back to (a)

The orcs of Grushnak Pride seem determined to do a Cirith Ungol, have only battled the boss twice - usually there's strings of messages floating up from some distant place, then I wander over to find Orb and goodies lying in a neat pile on the ground. Helpful but odd.

------

After ridding the town of elementals and letting elves whoosh me off to some distant spot to risk life and limb, come back to be told "the mages seem to have kept their promise" - pahh ! ... there should be an option to slay the whole ungrateful bunch of them, disdain the lamentation of their womenfolk, then rob the shops [:)]

I had a similar experience with my Sun Paladin in b12b. Everything was dead with Aeryn and me alive. Then she starts casting spells at monsters I couldn't see coming out of one of the portals and taking damage. Soon monsters start pouring out of the portal and she is killed.

Not a very satisfying ending to a successful game, to say the least! :(
