Frustration

« on: October 15, 2010, 03:33:01 am »

Hello. I'm not trying to upset other players but i have a question. Why can an enchanter not charm anything? and why cant a ranger go wolf form or use hail of arrows? As well spells like Holy Aura on pally dont seem to do anything. I get responses in occ, but they seem like bs to me, so thought i would post it here to see if someone has a real answer why?

None of these spells were post GoD era, considering ive been told that why alot of stuff doesnt work. Charm has been around since pre kunark. Im frustrated and id like light on the subject.

Charm was being exploited and if I can verify that current source is fixed then i'd allow it again but would need some SQL code to remove the "C" attribute for npcspecialattacks codes from all NPCs. This server is not 100% like live, it's partly custom.

Enjoy!

Hunter thank you for the response you gave me. Like i said in my early posts, i love it here, i love what you do for the server and what you work on to create content. The chanter thing i can see, have you seen or heard that wolf form doesnt work on ranger, i cant see that being an exploit issue. i got lame joke answers in ooc when i asked. And Holy aura doesnt seem to do anythng? Am i wrong or does it work without a buff icon?

I'm only asking to address it incase no one else has mentioned it for dev, I got answers like "thats why we jsut play pally's and war and clerics and shammy's" cause they are op.... lol... but i like rangers and chanters sometimes

Well, again thank you for your time and the information i got.

I rolled a ranger and went to the spell trainer and now wolf form, greater wolf form, and feral form are in my spell list under movement. Are you unable to cast them? Do you have the latest spell file?

As far as I know, auras don't work on any emu servers without custom code. Only one server I have tried has them and they are a fairly recent addition. Based on this information (http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?p=188520) it seems they are not supported emuwide yet.

Does hail of arrows work on other servers you have played on? I don't know how up to date this information is since the thread is fairly old, but it sounds like it not working was an emuwide problem then. http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=26116

I have em in my list no trouble at all i get the icon up, and i cast it and it says invalid something another. when i asked in /ooc, I was told cause rangers are broken and no one plays em. Yeah i have the same spells at 70, just for some reason i cant go wolf form or use hail of arrows, it casts and says interupted, even if im standing still in middle of newbie zone casting on a 80hp skelly, it doesnt go off at all.

Im using titanium, but i have the current spell update from last patch, was told it was only addressing SoD issues mainly, Titanium was fine, but now i cant cast wolf, and it helps with travel kiting etc, ill live if we cant cast it, but would be nice.

Could you cast it before the most recent spell file changes?

Wolf form has never worked for me either. I use the SoD client.
As for people saying bashing rangers, rangers are excellent dps and those same people will be rolling a ranger or two when they get to T3 and higher. Wink

aname,

I didnt want to quote you but yes.... My first toon on live now 11 years ago was ranger. I love rangers, when played right they are deadly hybrids. Yeah wolf isnt critical i just came to address it 'cause asking anything too often in ooc gets retarded answers. If it is broken, maybe he can research the string, and see what is causing it. Im not asking for a revamp lol, just wanted looking into it.

I feel like a noob, ok it works. it jsut doesnt override Bootstrutter's blessing, guess boot is faster. though i wouldnt know the %, but it does work have to click off bootstrutter or any sow u have.

GL and hope it works for you

OK its 3 am and Im tired so ill try not to sound too much like an idiot. Hail of arrows does not work sine its a spell not an ability and cannot be done on emu atm. Something like that was told to me by Secrets so there you go, and knowing is half the battle. GI Joe!!!!

Hail of arrows is implemented *in latest eqemu*, and I did not tell you that, I told you the targettype is broken (which KLS fixed recently, the 'arc' type of spells)

Secrets..... lmo at the last two posts, it was 3am and we were tired albeit. However, is it working or not? Because on my side using titanium, it doesnt work. Doesnt matter where i am or what i target. And maybe its a worthless spell anyhow, but I shall never know =)
