even moar bugs

#1 Post by Shoob »

- monsters with the invulnerable flag can still drown :P *
- (trying to figure out how to word this best)... hmmmm.... special monsters with the invulnerable flag should not care if you use aoe affects on them *

* Note: the story behind this is that I went down to the bottom of Eruan and teleported near the sun paladin there to save her (the last time I went down there she was already dead, but that was last beta or so), then I saw that she was invulnerable, but then I had my own mob to deal with, unfortunately she was next to me :P so a couple of spells later I cast one of mine and caught her in the blast, making her hostile... so not knowing how else to "defeat" her I ended up killing her by luring her into the water and drowning her to death... :D

that said, trying to achieve a "good" ending when making the sunwall faction hostile seems like it would be hard if not impossible, maybe some constraints should be put in place as well.

Hummm
Yeah.

As for making them angry, I don't see much other choice, otherwise it'd be too easy to kill them with just AOEs

maybe make the individual (not the faction) angry (unless they are invulnerable?) and then a loss in the faction (depending on how important they are...) and then units can be pacified (if their faction reaction is >= 0 by giving them healing potions (any type, they consume it and chance of pacification is dependent on amount healed vs health left before heal) or by casting a healing spell on them.

so penalties could be:

non-unique of the faction:
  • hurt: - 5
  • kill: - 25
unique of the faction:
  • hurt: - 10
  • kill: - 50
then I would make it so that if you do quests faction ratings can go up (25-100 points, quest variable). as well as by pacifying npcs of that faction(only 1-2 points for that though)
