Title: Sanya on #realiseult
Post by: Amberryl on Jan 19, 2004, 04:34 PM
15:00] * SanyaT has joined #realiseult
[15:01] <Trige> if anyone has questions for sanya msg me and i will past
[15:02] <Trige> Syric-RadarTL> ask her how we are suppsed to do TOA for alt
[15:02] <Trige> <Ishamail> Ask her if Mythic intends to fix the spell range bonuses.
[15:03] <SanyaT> I don't understand Syric's question
[15:03] <Felicitous> it is not viable to do toa with alts for most people
[15:03] <Felicitous> since it requires soooo much time
[15:03] <SanyaT> OH
[15:03] <SanyaT> By "do TOA" you mean the MLs?

[15:03] <Trige> <Syric-RadarTL> with how long MLs take for mains, how are we supposed to do MLs for our alts when its hard enough to do them all the way thru ONE
[15:03] <SanyaT> I got it now
[15:04] <SanyaT> Think how people like me feel - I barely have
enough time to do my main, I'm not even thinking about alts :)
[15:05] <SanyaT> And that's kind of the answer, right there
[15:05] <Trige> <Syric-RadarTL> is there a way to maybe make it so if ONE toon has ml9 done, the other 50 on the same account can as well?
[15:05] <Cutwolf> Dont forget Ishamails question, trige :P
[15:05] <Trige> Araz|Craig> is anything going to be done with Grapple? being chain grappled the whole fight is not fun, and certain classes benefit from grappling alot more than others
[15:05] <Trige> yah i posted ish's
[15:06] <SanyaT> It's not meant to work that way - there are concrete benefits derived from investing the time.
[15:06] <Cutwolf> Trige, wait til 1 Q is answered before posting another
[15:06] <SanyaT> Spell range - be more specific - I'm sorry, but the game is really huge, and what seems intuitive isn't to me anymore :)
[15:07] <SanyaT> Grapple: I don't know

[15:07] <Trige> <Ishamail> The 10% UNrestricted spell range bonus ring from ML9 dungeon DOES not work.
[15:07] <Cutwolf> Sanya: Group purge...nerf imo
[15:07] <Felicitous> aerus loot that has spell range isn't working
[15:07] <Syric-RadarTL> the hib version has a requiremnt tho
[15:07] <SanyaT> For everyone: guys, I don't know is going to be the answer a really embarrassing amount of time. I start working on the grab bag on Wednesday, just to be sure I can verify all the answers :)
[15:08] <Cutwolf> You can forward some of these issues though cant you?
[15:08] <SanyaT> What's the name of that ring, Ish?
[15:08] <SanyaT> I'll note down EVERYTHING

[15:08] <erindea> ring of heavenly bodies
[15:08] <SanyaT> thanks
[15:08] <Native> completely destroy mana drain fields
[15:08] <Syric-RadarTL> also sanya
[15:08] <Syric-RadarTL> ml9 perfector does NOT set field timer
[15:09] <Syric-RadarTL> i can cast 300 of em
[15:09] <Native> yeah get rid of that
[15:09] <erindea> they keep you in combat too
[15:10] <Cutwolf> hey syric, didnt u have a group purge q
[15:10] <Trige> <Zoo> please ask sanya if they intend to make the spell miss percentage the same as it was before...nowadays, i get almost 20% miss rate on my spells
[15:10] <SanyaT> Zoo - If you can believe it, I hear that exact thing every patch.
[15:10] <Native> go into a place with some of those things up you are completely oop which is bullshit in my opinion ^^
[15:10] <Syric-RadarTL> i do, but ill wait till the question go down a bit i WANt an answer :P
[15:11] <SanyaT> Still Zoo - can you show me any logs? My thing is that whenever we run comparisions, we don't see a change.
[15:11] <SanyaT> I always take logs - sanya@mythicentertainment.com

[15:11] <Trige> <Ishamail> Is there a cap on +power pool %? I've tested it..and the cap doesn't stop at 55%
[15:11] * Trige sets mode: +v Sleipnir|work
[15:11] <Trige> <Zoo> there was a clear change
[15:11] <Trige> <Zoo> when mythic first tried to fix the block/parry issues a while ago
[15:11] <Trige> <Zoo> it totally increased spell resists
[15:11] <Trige> <Zoo> the problem is still there for casters
[15:11] <SanyaT> Just remember to keep everything as consistent between tests as possible - not fair to compare rates on a spriggarn vs. a giant ;)
[15:12] <Sleipnir|work> Sanya, what if anything will be done about the travel times in the new frontier zone? It was mentioned we would find fights faster
[15:12] <SanyaT> Zoo, I remember people talking about it, and I spent a lot of time looking into it - there was a bug with a Pend version, but we did fix it according to our logs
[15:13] <SanyaT> Ish - that's a grab bag ?, I'd need to check with a programmer.

[15:13] <Cutwolf> Tell us what you can, if anything, about Frontiers, Sanyito
[15:13] <Sleipnir|work> Finally Sanya, with TOA bonuses and +cap items, will AP/WA be looked at for nightshades?
[15:14] <SanyaT> Sleip - I don't know what the SEKRIT TRANSPORTATION PLAN is, not in the least. I send the design team feedback, though, and the number one issue is people scared of transportation time
[15:14] <Syric-RadarTL> its not right for ONE assisn class to have those un unique RAs and the others not 2
[15:14] <SanyaT> Cutwolf - read the website, newb ;)
[15:14] <Cutwolf> :(
[15:15] <Trige> <Nukeleearr> is there any plans to fix realm pop imbalances, or to make it so you get less rewards for zerging, so people can have more fair and funner fights, or is this game zerg2win now?
[15:15] <Trige> <Nukeleearr> and if there are any plans to make like a small group vs group arena or something
[15:15] <Trige> area would rock ;x
[15:15] <Trige> arena
[15:15] <Syric-RadarTL> agreed
[15:16] <Syric-RadarTL> since this is/was a 8v8 dominated server
[15:16] <SanyaT> Sleip 2nd question - is there a TL for nightshades right now? I've lost track :)
[15:16] <Felicitous> the NS tl has said he has been trying to get AP removed from NS for ages now
[15:17] <Syric-RadarTL> sanya: could u plz make a note on the lack of quality good hammers in TOA
[15:17] <Cutwolf> slow the qs down, she can only answer 1 at a time
[15:17] <Cutwolf> shes a newb
[15:17] <Syric-RadarTL> that wasnt a question, get outta my guild
[15:18] <Cutwolf> :/
[15:18] <SanyaT> I don't know what the plans for the NS are - we're probably not doing anything this coming patch, though
[15:18] <SanyaT> As long as there is a TL to keep on top of it, though, the issue won't die.
[15:18] <SanyaT> We rez dead horses a lot.

[15:19] <Syric-RadarTL> can we ask about specific RA's?
[15:19] <Trige> <Zoo> is cutwolf a nerd IRL?
[15:19] <Felicitous> let trige ask some questions from others
[15:19] <SanyaT> Nuke #1 - that's a goofy ass question, man. Depends on how you look at it, guess you'll let me know after you see Frontiers.
[15:19] <SanyaT> Nuke #2 - I ask for it all the time, I think an arena would be cool as hell.
[15:20] <SanyaT> Syric - the Item Mistress is aware of how many of each kind of weapon there is - the problem is that we originally had this cool system
[15:20] <SanyaT> Where weapons would turn into whatever you wanted.
[15:20] <SanyaT> That didn't actually, you know, work.
[15:20] <SanyaT> So there IS a weapon type imbalance, but we're working on it, or at least, that's what I've heard.

[15:20] <erindea> you going to look at armor decay rates? seems like everything loses dur much faster after toa
[15:21] <Trige> yeah ;/
[15:21] <Syric-RadarTL> aye
[15:21] <Syric-RadarTL> its bad
[15:21] <Sleipnir|work> Sanya, last question. Why are infs allowed to use 4.4 speed weapons? With the way things are that lets them hit even harder than before
[15:21] <Trige> XPing my scarab vest for 4 hours = losing 3 con, is bad :/
[15:21] <SanyaT> Syric - specific RA's aren't a good idea to ask me about, because I didn't design them or implement them - I only know about the ones causing problems/debates.
[15:21] <Felicitous> my boi has lost over 60% since toa QQ
[15:22] <SanyaT> Zoo: Cutwolf is only a nerd if you don't like him.
[15:22] <Sleipnir|work> no one does
[15:22] <Cutwolf> :/
[15:22] <Sleipnir|work> well i do a little
[15:22] <Sleipnir|work> i have a soft spot for jerrys kids
[15:22] <Syric-RadarTL> a lil, but we have to, we guilded
[15:22] <Syric-RadarTL> have pity
[15:22] <Sleipnir|work> <Vyrian> dont forget to call for an animist nerf
[15:22] <Sleipnir|work> Anything going to be done about animist pets?
[15:23] <Sleipnir|work> as it stands the level 5 pet is still 7/8ths of the animists level and therefore can cast up to 50 or more shrooms to lag death people
[15:23] <SanyaT> Erindea: We are looking at armor decay rates - the problem is when we run tests under "lab" conditions everything is cool. But we've found problems with particular ITEMS when people are cool and send me specific
[15:23] <SanyaT> Had a great one last week
[15:23] <SanyaT> Some dude gave me exact times, how many fights he'd been in, what he'd been fighting, what buffs he had, etc.
[15:24] <SanyaT> We tracked down the exact problem and fixed the item.
[15:24] <SanyaT> It doesn't seem to be everything in the game, though.
[15:24] <SanyaT> It's really, really frustrating both as a player and as a dev.

[15:24] <Trige> if anyone has questions please PM me do not ask in channel
[15:24] <SanyaT> So, uh, I have no answer, but we're working on specifics as we get them.
[15:24] <Trige> there is a line waiting =P
[15:24] <erindea> k thanks
[15:24] <erindea> sorry!
[15:25] <Trige> <Felicitous> i have a question about toa haste
[15:25] <Trige> <Felicitous> well haste in general
[15:25] <Trige> <Felicitous> are the different types of haste an additive or is it multiplied?
[15:25] <SanyaT> Animist pets - I know we're looking at them because of some bugs particular to them, got nothing specific to tell you though
[15:25] <Syric-RadarTL> caps tp pets would be nice :P
[15:26] <Cutwolf> Sanya - Valewalkers get 4 artifact weapons, savages get 2, reavers get 1 (i think)...whats up with that imbalance...
[15:26] <Syric-RadarTL> 40 at a MFG is a lil much
[15:26] <Sleipnir|work> Sanya, I found a bug with Mastery of the Arcane and TOA +stat buff effectiveness. Basically if you have MOA (any level of it) it cancels out whatever TOA bonuses you have
[15:26] <SanyaT> Felic - grab bag, man, I'm sorry - the thing is, haste has changed so much since I started this job that I've lost track, and I'd have to ask a programmer
[15:27] <SanyaT> Cutwolf: because I hate you

[15:27] <Cutwolf> K
[15:27] <Trige> <Paith> where will DF port us too from opponents zone portals
[15:27] <Trige> <Paith> in the new frontier
[15:27] <Trige> <Paith> also, have you thought about a central neutral area without keeps
[15:27] <Trige> <Paith> and fewer chokepoints ;)
[15:27] <Cutwolf> better then your newb "grab bag" answer
[15:27] <Felicitous> can you make that a grab bag question? there are some websites that have haste calculators and a lot of threads on vn class boards with people relying off those spd calcs, and they are wrong imo
[15:28] <SanyaT> Sleip: noted and passed on
[15:28] <Sleipnir|work> k ty
[15:28] <Sleipnir|work> Sanya, any chance you can bump me to RR10 so i can play my sm full time?
[15:29] <SanyaT> Paith - the first part, I don't understand what you mean, I need more caffeine. The second part, I have passed on to the design team - lots of people thinking like you
[15:29] <SanyaT> Cutwolf: Neener neener, boo boo

[15:29] <Syric-RadarTL> what about the RA group purge, is it being one of the ones looked at. basically a rr10 healer can do his job, lay down a perfect mez, and a r2l4 druid hits on button and they all free. and higher rr groups can have 24 purges cuz they ALL run with 2 druids
[15:29] <SanyaT> Felic: Already noted it for the column - if you don't see it it's because I couldn't pin anyone down
[15:29] <Trige> Questions to me syric gdit ~
[15:29] <Syric-RadarTL> sorry
[15:29] <Sleipnir|work> i know noob
[15:31] <Native> <Fuscian>  how soon the RA review will be coming in
[15:31] <SanyaT> We're working on the RA review now. Hope y'all realize it's way more than a review.
[15:32] <SanyaT> It's a redesign, honestly. Ground up.

[15:32] * Sleipnir|work swoons
[15:32] <Trige> <Kerum> ask her if toa cloaks will be made dyeable some time
[15:32] * Syric-RadarTL needs in on this RA review
[15:32] <SanyaT> It should be out for testing next month.
[15:32] <SanyaT> If you beta Frontiers, you'll get first crack.

[15:32] <Sleipnir|work> i shall smoketh it
[15:32] <Felicitous> shouldn't those who are most experienced in rvr get a shot at testing rvr stuff? heh
[15:33] <SanyaT> Ker: I ask about each cloak on a case by case basis
[15:33] <SanyaT> Didn't mean for that to be such a stupid answer, but there you go
[15:33] <SanyaT> Felic: How do you know the testers won't be?
[15:33] <SanyaT> :)

[15:33] <Trige> <Syric-RadarTL> ask her when we apply for beta
[15:34] <Felicitous> well going off past history, even a lot of the TL's lack rvr experience
[15:34] <SanyaT> Syric: Gonna post stuff as soon as I get permission; it'll be on the Frontiers part of the site and on my precious Herald
[15:34] <Felicitous> they may know the formulas and what not but it is different from having real experience in rvr
[15:34] <Native> <Fuscian>  With the RvR expansion are you guys looking to upgrade servers aswell
[15:34] <SanyaT> Our TL coordinator has three level 50s and two years solid of RVR.
[15:34] <SanyaT> About the only thing he hasn't done a ton of is BG fighting.

[15:35] <Nukeleearr> does he play an inf?
[15:35] <Felicitous> i'm talking the individual class tl's
[15:35] <Felicitous> how many of them are above r6 even? not many
[15:35] <Sleipnir|work> its not the realm that matters but the size of the rank
[15:35] <SanyaT> Fuscian - we're upgrading servers slowly but surely - the high population servers get the new equipment first.
[15:36] <Trige> <Amesha> Question - With all the new items for ToA melee chars are getting stronger and stronger. Gank groups are melee based now with usualy 1 pbae (if that) for farming purposes. Is there any plans to make casters viable in rvr again?
[15:36] <SanyaT> Don't worry so much about class TLs - the ones I know personally are great, great guys who care about the game and get their feedback from their communities, not just their own opinions.
[15:37] <Sleipnir|work> Sanya, is there any word on new seige engines?
[15:37] <SanyaT> The TL reports are full of language like "the community" and "while it hasn't been my experience, many people say"
[15:37] <Trige> <Bipo> Does Syric or Sleip Ever Stfu?
[15:38] <SanyaT> Amesha - Questions like that are hard for me to answer, because I get about equal amounts of email from melee complaining that they don't get a chance to close with their enemies as I do from casters who complain they die too fast to contribute.
[15:38] <Syric-RadarTL> invalid question
[15:38] <Native> <Galic-Nyeave> if GP is gotten rid of can druids have ab aoe cure mez/stun to combat the mids abilty to cc such as healer and shamans insto;s?
[15:38] <SanyaT> But we are looking at EVERYONE'S feedback for Frontiers. The way a business makes money is by trying to make the greatest number of people happy, after all.
[15:39] <Nukeleearr> why are there still buffbots then?
[15:39] <Sleipnir|work> buffbots too
[15:39] <SanyaT> Sleip - I've seen the art designs, nothing else.
[15:39] <Sleipnir|work> Sanya, please dont nerf buffbots, i have 4, 2 in hib and 2 in df

[15:39] <Trige> lol
[15:39] <Trige> <Felicitous> does quickness have a 250 cap or does it just stop effecting style dmg at that point however still continue to effect weap spd?
[15:39] <SanyaT> Galic: Um... I can't say as *I* think that MORE CC is what this game really needs.
[15:40] <SanyaT> But I guess anything's possible.
[15:41] <SanyaT> All I'm gonna say about buffbots is that most of the suggestions I hear for "fixing the buffbot problem" totally screws the people who play support classes. *I* play support classes, people! Sheesh!

[15:41] <Sleipnir|work> uber ty, my 12.95 is in the mail
[15:42] <Native> <Ciddah> will they loosen some of the artifact leveling requirements
[15:42] <SanyaT> Ciddah: can't say. I've passed on the... vehement... feedback requesting that exact thing./
[15:43] <Native> and galic meant counter cc, not more cc
[15:44] <SanyaT> Mutter, I must have misread
[15:44] <SanyaT> Sorry

[15:44] <Sleipnir|work> Sanya, when will Thanes get a boost? I ended up deleting mine a long time ago
[15:44] <Amb> heyas native
[15:44] #realiseult Cannot send to channel
[15:45] <Syric-RadarTL> is there any chance mythic will endorse unleashed, the patches screw up my ability to use radar for a few days
[15:45] <Sleipnir|work> rofl
[15:45] <Felicitous> answer quickness question next imo @@
[15:46] <Syric-RadarTL> i was kidding bwt
[15:47] <SanyaT> Galic: (now answering his real question) - I don't know, and I can't raise the guy who would know.
[15:47] * Nukeleearr has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[15:47] <Cutwolf> how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
[15:48] <Sleipnir|work> ur mom
[15:48] <Cutwolf> :/
[15:48] <Cutwolf> Whats the ETA on frontiers, Sanya? Live...i know ETAs are always wrong but whats yoru general time frame
[15:49] <SanyaT> (hang on, guys, office walkin - BRB)
[15:49] <Trige> send Q's to Felicitous
[15:49] <Trige> i gotta level my vest
[15:52] * Felicitous sets mode: +v Zoo
[15:52] <SanyaT> Sorry, this chat's kinda impromptu, so people keep wandering in -
[15:52] <SanyaT> in my office I mean

[15:52] <Cutwolf> Heh
[15:52] <Cutwolf> Whats the ETA on frontiers, Sanya? Live...i know ETAs are always wrong but whats yoru general time frame
[15:52] <Cutwolf> imo
[15:52] <SanyaT> Frontiers is supposed to start beta early next month
[15:53] <Cutwolf> yeah but whats your target for actually going live
[15:53] <Felicitous> can you answer the question about quickness cap?
[15:53] <SanyaT> Early April is the PLAN
[15:53] <SanyaT> Repeat question about QUI - but fair warning, I probably don't know

[15:53] <Trige> big question :
[15:53] <Trige> <Anty> [3:47:20p] (Anty) With this review, is Mythic making any conscious efforts to make zerging less of an option? Judging by your RvR maps, seems like there are an awful lot of choke points. A major flaw I see in the design of Emain/Odin's/HW is the fact that there are Milegates present for people to sit around and mass up. Adding more choke points seems to promote this even further. Now there are certain servers where populations are
[15:53] <Trige> <Anty> [3:48:37p] (Anty) where population isn't. Zerg vs. Zerg warfare simply isn't an option for some realms, ultimately just flat out ruining an RvR experience for anyone who wishes to hit a frontier. Putting this into consideration, wouldn't it be better to just remove the choke-points and work on a more open terrain?
[15:53] <Trige> <Anty> [3:49:45p] (Anty) That way, those who wish to run more than 1fg are more than welcome to - just /stick and move. But they'd actually have to find their fights, rather than sitting at a Milegate and outnumbering anyone who wish to pass through. Eliminating chokepoints would make it so both the people who want to run more than 1fg and the people who wish to run 1fg or less can participate in RvR.
[15:54] <SanyaT> Goodness.
[15:54] <Felicitous> does mythic discriminate against valkyns? I mean most of mid seems to hate them, they can't sit in chairs in housing, instead they have to sit on the ground like dogs, wth? also sm pets can't be valkyns even though it was passed onto the art time
[15:54] <SanyaT> *hides*
[15:54] <Sleipnir|work> fix felic, shes ugly
[15:54] <Sleipnir|work> feedback form inc
[15:54] <erindea> felic sucks
[15:54] <Felicitous> dont make me take away v's
[15:55] <erindea> haha
[15:55] <Sleipnir|work> also, please make the maximum AFK time to 10 minutes before being kicked to desktop
[15:55] <SanyaT> Anty - the current design is about making the terrain more interesting, and making territory control more meaningful. I have gotten a lot of feedback from people like you - they often
[15:56] <SanyaT> say that they wanted us to make the three frontiers MORE like Emain, not less.

[15:56] <Cutwolf> Score!
[15:56] <Cutwolf> I got into Wish beta
[15:56] <Sleipnir|work> WoW alpha looks good so far
[15:56] <SanyaT> I would say that people who feel as you do are in a "significant minority" - not the majority, but there are a lot of you.
[15:56] <Syric-RadarTL> i actually after rr10 and 2 years of DAOC, im sick off lookin at emain
[15:57] <SanyaT> I have given the numbers and the views to the designers. I know that didn't really answer your question, Anty, but your view HAS been heard and hopefully taken into account.
[15:58] <SanyaT> And all I'm gonna say about other games is that I LOVE it when other games release. Then we can start comparing reality to reality, not happy design land with actual gameplay.

[15:58] <Zoo> sanya, is there any chance that mythic can shorten the timers for the porters at border keeps? - it takes forever to get anywhere
[15:58] <Zoo> i know its gonna change when frontiers comes out
[15:58] <Zoo> but thats a while away....and i r have no patience
[15:58] <SanyaT> You answered your own question, dude.
[15:58] <Sleipnir|work> Mid-Iseult lost relics in transit bc of slow gothi
[15:58] <Trige> owned !
[15:58] <Zoo> i countered
[15:58] <Zoo> !!
[15:58] <Trige> <Kerum> Any chance of adding rvr exp as an option to level all artifacts?
[15:59] <SanyaT> We're probably not going to change anything until then. I realize you probably think that sucks, Zoo, but it's the truth :)
[15:59] <Felicitous> any chance of my valkyn or quickness question answered @@
[15:59] <SanyaT> Kerum: Beats me, I'll pass it on.
[15:59] <Felicitous> <Zerkage> Will Stormcalling get any attention?
[16:00] <SanyaT> Felic: I said repeat QUI question, but fair warning, I probably don't know and I'll have to grab bag it.
[16:00] <Sleipnir|work> <Cutwolf> Is Sanya married or single?
[16:00] <SanyaT> And we hate Valkyns. HATE them. Their fur smells.
[16:00] <Cutwolf> I didnt ask that
[16:00] <Cutwolf> and i know the answer
[16:00] <Cutwolf> so wtfpwnd
[16:00] <Sleipnir|work> she prolly said no to u
[16:00] <SanyaT> Zerkage: No idea.
[16:00] <Felicitous>  <Felicitous> does quickness have a 250 cap or does it just stop effecting style dmg at that point however still continue to effect weap spd?
[16:00] <SanyaT> Yeah, Fel, I have to bag it.
[16:01] <SanyaT> I think I know, but not comfortable enough to be quoted

[16:01] <Felicitous> k
[16:01] <Sleipnir|work> <Lidless> Are all the style RAs being remade as style RAs or are tank classes getting completly new unique RAs?
[16:01] <Felicitous> <Alec> Is there any plan to actually implement the hard cap for casting time that was said to exist?
[16:01] <SanyaT> Lidless - as much as I want to start breaking the news to everyone, I gotta wait on talking about the specifics of the new RA system.
[16:02] <SanyaT> Alec: ow.
[16:02] <SanyaT> Translated: that one is somewhere between the design team and QA, and I don't know the status
[16:02] <SanyaT> Two more questions, and then I need to bail

[16:03] <Felicitous> Deeve> <Deeve> I'd like to know if the ML9 Perfector is "working as intended" or will we be expecting a nerf to it like the other Perfector abilities?
[16:03] <Felicitous> <Deeve> <Deeve> And why does it break speed once you lay ML9 down.
[16:03] <Felicitous> <Deeve> <Trige> it will get nerfed
[16:03] <Felicitous> <Deeve> <Trige> syric asked that earlier
[16:03] <Felicitous> <Deeve> <Trige> not working as intended
[16:03] <Felicitous> <Deeve> <Deeve> and what did she say?
[16:03] <Felicitous> <Deeve> <Trige> not working as intended
[16:03] <Felicitous> <Deeve> <Deeve> So what reward are we actually getting from completing Master levels when they are being nerfed enough to not even want them?
[16:04] <Felicitous> <Deeve> I feel like we got "thank you for beta testing ToA" now we'll nerf all your hard work.
[16:04] <Felicitous> <Deeve> Are there any plans to put Blademasters on Warden damage table?
[16:04] <Felicitous> <Deeve> <Trige> not working as intended

[16:04] <Felicitous> <Deeve> muahahaha
[16:04] <Sleipnir|work> stop spamming
[16:04] <SanyaT> ...
[16:04] <Felicitous> blame deeve
[16:04] <SanyaT> I didn't say anything about ML9 Perfector - said I had to ask.
[16:04] <Sleipnir|work> <Kort|work> question: Is mythic working on a fix for radar? I heard one was tried in 1.66 but was backed out.
[16:04] <Felicitous> <Fonda> ask her if they plan onn fixing DW bug where DW basically = 2 attackers thus smashing the crap out of us 2h users
[16:06] <Felicitous> <Kort|work> Is Mythic doing anything about radar? I heard they tried a fix in 1.66 but it was backed out.
[16:06] <Trige> sanya : i was speaking with the person who made radar on aim he said there is no possible way to find out who is using radar, is this true?
[16:06] <Felicitous> <Lemaco|Mord> When are you going to fix the quick cast ability exploit where even when a caster /faces an enemy, the enemy can simply run through him and the caster receives the message "Target not in view".
[16:06] <Cutwolf> guys
[16:06] <Cutwolf> slow the questions
[16:07] <Cutwolf> til she answers one
[16:07] <Felicitous> well she said 2 more
[16:07] <SanyaT> Kort: Answering that's is dangerous. I mean, say I say yes. All the assholes who make radar programs instantly go on the alert and then spend all their spare time making workarounds.
[16:07] <Felicitous> so saying a few and she can pick out 2
[16:07] <SanyaT> Whereas we have to run a game here, and can't spend every waking moment combating a bunch of losers who can't compete in a video game.
[16:08] <Cutwolf> yeah like that alb caster...uh...i forget his name
[16:08] <Sleipnir|work> urmom
[16:08] <SanyaT> We do care, we do ban, and we're constantly looking for ways to at least slow down the impotent morons.
[16:08] <Cutwolf> Yeah
[16:08] <Cutwolf> Xenow
[16:08] <Cutwolf> thats the radarer
[16:09] <Sleipnir|work> <Kort|work> In response: I believe there are semi-easy ways to make making a workaround very difficult. But I think a lot of the problem is people feel like they wwill not get caught
[16:09] <Sleipnir|work> <Kort|work> I don't believe that Mythic is being proactive enough in suspensions/bans especially when people are getting appealed by their own realm
[16:09] <SanyaT> Trige: Of course the author's going to say that, he thinks his dick gets bigger if his web hits go up.
[16:09] <Cutwolf> hahaha
[16:09] <Cutwolf> pwnd
[16:09] <Trige> lol
[16:10] <SanyaT> We can't ban people without proof. The process is slow - but we ban every week - I get blind copied on all the bans, so I'd know.
[16:10] <SanyaT> The only people who don't mind the process are people who get reported and WEREN'T cheating.

[16:10] <Sleipnir|work> <Lidless> but sanya: what is 'proof' when it comes to finding radar?
[16:10] <Felicitous> do many people on iseult get banned? I haven't heard of a single person being banned here, and their are certainly many radar users
[16:11] <SanyaT> Sorry I sound so pissy, it's just that it makes me insane. It's like cheating at solitaire. How pathetic do you have to be to cheat at a game recommended for teens and up.
[16:11] <Sleipnir|work> I've heard of the infamous Lurikeen in a tree bait but people have appealed a person many times and they continue to play
[16:12] <SanyaT> Lidless - can't say - last time I came out and explained it all the mouth breathers patched their cheats to break our method.
[16:12] <SanyaT> Sorry, man.

[16:12] <Felicitous> <Ciddah> ask her why no hearth portal from toa porters
[16:12] <SanyaT> Felic: Couple this week.
[16:12] <Trige> quick question : on EU servers, people receive special 1 of a kind items from CSR's after they win an event or something or other, when are those kind of events going to be implemented in US DAOC servers.. its been a while
[16:13] <SanyaT> Guys, I'm really sorry - but I do need to take off. I've got a list of questions gathered from the chat to pass on - I appreciate the mods doing this on short notice, you guys are swell
[16:14] <SanyaT> Sorry to those of you I couldn't answer
[16:14] <SanyaT> TTYS

[16:14] <Trige> lates
[16:14] <Cutwolf> ill ask her on AOL for u guys
[16:14] <Cutwolf> :P
[16:14] <Cutwolf> cuz win
[16:14] <Cutwolf> *i win
[16:14] <Native> i love you sanya
[16:15] * SanyaT has left #realiseult

She sais 2 people banned from iseult for radaring this week. I wonder who? I never see anybody disappear either.

15:10] <Trige> <Zoo> please ask sanya if they intend to make the spell miss percentage the same as it was before...nowadays, i get almost 20% miss rate on my spells
[15:10] <SanyaT> Zoo - If you can believe it, I hear that exact thing every patch.


that was my question too, she didn't even answer it. I was pissed after that patch. I was level 49 and none of my spells affected any of the purple mobs in AC

[15:11] <SanyaT> Still Zoo - can you show me any logs? My thing is that whenever we run comparisions, we don't see a change.

Real Iseult is Midgard i assume? or Hib, it seems. You notice her reference to fixing buffbots effecting support classes? The simple solution of putting a range on buffs so the buff bot has to stay with the RvR group seems to have escaped her. Not many people could afford the performance hit of towing a buffbot around with them, her answer seems a total cop out to me.

I noted in her reference to the croc ring changes this week that she listed the realms Hibernia Midgard and Albion in that order, i think thats pretty much where her and Mythics order of priority for the realms is too.

[15:36] <Trige> <Amesha> Question - With all the new items for ToA melee chars are getting stronger and stronger. Gank groups are melee based now with usualy 1 pbae (if that) for farming purposes. Is there any plans to make casters viable in rvr again?
[15:38] <SanyaT> Amesha - Questions like that are hard for me to answer, because I get about equal amounts of email from melee complaining that they don't get a chance to close with their enemies as I do from casters who complain they die too fast to contribute.

This is BS. Any tank above RR2 will be able to close the gap to a caster before he dies. In fact, the only time my zerker died to a caster was when they either MoC'd or debuffed me first.

This is Kidatheart just so you know! Have you noticed that croc ring changes makes it so Hib is only realm WITHOUT a PBT on Croc ring ?? I wouldn't say they are all about Hib since they are making it so only Alb and Mid can have realm PBT.
Title: Sanya on #realiseult
Post by: Nari on Jan 20, 2004, 12:48 PM
That's pretty crappy Kid, but Hibs are the only realm with Croc ring enabled end regen...think about it that way.
Title: Sanya on #realiseult
Post by: Axecleaver on Jan 20, 2004, 02:36 PM
Hey kid

Hib's also only realm with end regen for the zerg.... and you get it on 2000 range, the largest in the game. Wardens got croc ring but not paladins. Balancing healchant in the zerg would have been kinda silly, granted, but I dont think Wardens should have gotten it at all.

From 1.68a:

QuoteCrocodile's Tear Ring

- Up until now, the Crocodile's Tear Ring has been inadvertantly granted to healing classes - the NPC who creates the artifact does not include healing classes in his text dialog, but accepts the artifact pieces anyways. The classes who fall into this category are: Clerics, Friars, Healers, Shaman, Wardens, and Druids. This has led to some balance problems with some healing classes' spells combined with the level 10 ability of that artifact. Instead of removing the Crocodile Tear Ring totally from these classes, we are giving them the chance of keeping the ring, but the level 10 ability for that artifact will not be available for those classes.

Is or is not a Bard a frikkin healing class???!!!
Title: Sanya on #realiseult
Post by: Rosslyn on Jan 20, 2004, 07:54 PM
They certainly are as much a healing class as friars are.

It's because they provide speed 5. You could make the same arguement as to why skalds can use it but pallys can't if you just use the hybrid vs hybrid comparison.
