A REAL Epic tale of Lodagond-4 farming.

[Sabre]

So me, Dridje, and Bong decided to do a three man lodagond run. We hack 'n haxbow our way through lodagonds one through three with little resistance. Then we hit the fourth one, and after a bit of differing bsp issues, we get crackin'. A couple more people join (Toyoch, Veil, and Lilly, specifically), and we keep going on, once again, with little issue. We get all the way to Maldora himself, and begin our epic battle with Runegahr at our side. Then, about halfway through, connection issues arise, and many reconnects cause me(me being the main damage dealer at this point) to be rendered useless. Bong was unable to stay ingame, so it was the five of us, plus some adventurer with x amount of w's after his name. Shortly after I am out, Dridje also is rendered useless somehow(He hadn't even died). So I'm all "F*ck," and I pass my DS to Veil, the next higher up, and he is rendered useless. At this point, we figure that if we can support Runegahr, Maldora can get owned...So we kill off minions, distract Maldora, and hxbow him when we can(Luckily he was about one third health at the point where I bugged), and about five to ten minutes later Maldora is defeated, by true teamwork and perseverance. Lilly, who is in the 10's, did (her, I assume) part by shielding and healing whenever possible, thus earning an orion from the arty. Kudos to (her).

Pictures kinda bad, but I realized this too late D:

From right to left:
Lily, Me, Veil(Behind me in phoenix), Dridje (on top), Toyoch (with nmaul), and Adventurerwww(dunno how many w's specifically xD), with the nova.

You forgot the Companion Sphere.
That was pretty epic how it just started out with You, CMD and I. Once again, great job everyone who was involved!
So Thothie....Fix that bug!!! PLEASE

Yay Orion :3

Now I have: an Envenom Battle axe, Fire Gauntlets, a PFCK, and the Orion all waiting for me to level up :O

 

[elfstone222]

It's okay that I'm behind you, my awesome red armor stands out plenty. It was pretty amazing we could pull this off with only one level 40+ in the server... the rest of us were 35 and lower with people in the 20's and teens. So 3 relevant level people + support from lower levels were able to take out a boss meant for 4-5 40-50 chars thanks to great teamwork.

 

[Sabre]

Rofl, not to mention the three level 30's got bugged into uselessness.

So Thothie....Fix that bug!!! PLEASE

Wish I knew which version this all happened under. I've not heard back from CMD if interim3 solved the problem or not.

 

[Sabre]

I do not have any interim patches, iirc.

 

[allentrill1000]

Ok now that scares me...have you noticed the player on the right has absolutely no armor? That is one player i am not pissing off....lol Good Job....

[FER]

[allentrill1000]

Ok since that and Helm of the Dead are 2 things i havent found yet i had no idea what they look like....and if gladiator armor makes you look armorless i need some...cause that still looks OH WOW!!!!

Testing commenced: Went to thornlands with nubs and had timmy rape us. Thraxis and I tested it, at first. No problem; it worked perfectly until I hit null. Then, Nate joined in. Add him into the mix and this happens(Me;Thraxis;Nate):

Timidus Textor reports: var 0.00;0.60;;0.90 pvar 0

Note the extra semicolon. After that person died once, I was allowed to hit timmy again. It had reset.

 

[Dridmar]

Sabre, CMD...we should have another game like that someday soon. Different map(s) of course.

It's the most fun I had in long time on msc. All that good teamwork like when you're frozen and they come to your rescue by hitting the monster and/or kicking it away. Unlike most other servers, they'll just let you die...

WTF…

On interim3 you should see the last 6 digits of steamID’s where you have “Me;Thraxis;Nate” – where you getthing those, or were you getting full Steam ID’s, or player indexes (single digit numbers)?

 

[Thraxis]

We were getting digits, that may have been of steam ids? however it wasnt the whole Steam_ID blah:blah:blahlahlah. But I guess bong didn't think they were necessary to throw up, as A) I don't think they had the extra semicolon and B) I think the only reason the system broke was because of that extra semicolon, but I guess I could be wrong.

 

[Thothie]

Damnit, this makes no sense... *sigh* I really need MiB to look at the token.set code...

The really fugged up thing about this, is I added a condition to the code that says, "If the number of entries in known ID's and resistance levels don't match, dump the whole array and start over" - but obviously it decided not to do that, for some bloody reason.

 

[The Man In Black]

Probably because ;; still counts as a token. That would be my guess, anyway. I'll look at it, but there's that whole 'e' word thing that's holding me back ;-)

I code in Second Life (or used to) and though it's small time compared to this, I know how damn frustrating it is. But remember how good it feels once it DOES work!

 

[Thothie]

Two years of coding for this bloody game, and I've yet to get to that point!

Think we got this one licked though... Three player test worked out okay.

 

[The Man In Black]

I have those moments a lot.. But then I send my work to you =|
