Glad to help
Try magic unlock?
I don't know :/
hehe.... I guess if they would have completely removed the ability to use a trapped box that would have been one thing.
Agreed
Truth is not being told by your post, you are stating an opinion. Truth is the fact the mechanic here is one using the damage taken by opening a trapped box to break paralysis is legal. You are making a decision to take self inflicted damage. Without a way to break paralysis, pvp would be more out of balance in favor of mages over dexxers. If you didn't take damage from the trapped box then I might agree with your opinion. Please refrain from stating moderator opinions as truth, its not fair to those who can't discern between the two.
thanks
No offense bud but your opinion appears to be a bit biased no matter what you add about poison/potions.
please refrain from stating moderator opinion as truth?
well i dont see how my opinion could possibly be biased.... i dont play a mage in pvp.
why should any mage be able to do this?
a mage has a choice, run protection and cast slow or dont run it and risk being knocked out of casting..... so yes, a warrior can and does tangle up a mage and kill him just as fast, i fail to see YOUR lame argument.
Did they remove invis pots? Dammit, I miss everything.
lol No. That quote was actually from Mr Tact I think. So before there was such a thing as invis pots (if I have my timeline right). By invis items I meant like robes/cloaks/sandals/jewelry etc.
While you are definitely entitled to an opinion, you can't have it both ways, if you start out with a statement "well..... truth be told the whole trap box thing IS a bug." you are stating it as a fact and you have a moderator tag. It's not the truth be told phrase that is the problem, it is the emphasis on "IS a bug". You are emphatically stating your opinion as fact and the fact you are a moderator lends credibility to any statement you make. "In my opinion" would have been a better phrase to open with to avoid any confusion. Stratics isnt only read by jaded veterans and "kids", there are new players that seek knowledge here too. If it wasn't for Stratics I probably would never have played the game.
I'll take the bait, why do things in the game that are perfectly legal and you happen to not use or disagree with the item's viability or importance need to be removed? In case you haven't noticed, topics discussed here are read by the developers and lead to things being nerfed that really shouldn't be, hence this discussion about trapped boxes. By the way, crafter trapped boxes are used to train lockpicking, used to kill other players, and I am sure there are several role play uses for them as well. I keep GM ones in my pack in case I get killed, just for the satisfaction of knowing my assailant might die of curiosity and allow me to loot him when I return to my corpse.
Yes, as opposed to removing them from the game. I am vehemently against any change though.
My bad bud. I was going on the assumption that you actually knew basic pvp mechanicswell i dont see how my opinion could possibly be biased.... i dont play a mage in pvp.
why should any mage be able to do this?
k, open up any spell book and leaf through it till ya get to circle 5 spells, on that page your gonna see a spell called 'paralyze', THATS what gives mages the ability to.... oh how did you put it, render anyone completely immobile. stomping your feet and yelling like a 2 year old who dosnt get a candy isnt gonna change the fact that is how the game was made.
a mage has a choice, run protection and cast slow or dont run it and risk being knocked out of casting..... so yes, a warrior can and does tangle up a mage and kill him just as fast, i fail to see YOUR lame argument.
at the end of the day lets talk about what really has your panties in a knot.
your upset because if they killed trap boxes youd a) have to work up 120 resist which you cant do in haven anymore in 2 hours and b) it would ruin your dexxer template.
yes, so lets let a bug continue on in game just because we dont wanna have to make you change your template.
because i pay my $12 a month so YOU can get what you want and not whats better for the game.
I'm not sure what you're upset about, if you have 120 resist a mage can't stop you. Rolls reversed a mage could have 120 resist and they still get para'd by a warriors which also deals damage while the mages does not.My bad bud. I was going on the assumption that you actually knew basic pvp mechanics
1) Trapped boxes are not broken or bugged. They are a mechanic that works as intended. Open up YOUR spellbook and you will see a spell in there that allows boxes to be locked and unlocked.
2) If you actually were an unbiased pvper you would have understood my para spell vs resisting spells analogy.
Removing any ability to break a pre-casted Para spell would leave anyone without the resisting spells skill completely helpless and 100% dead everytime to even an unskilled mage on his first day playing UO. That is not what the devs ever intended.
My analogy simply said that if you believe that is okay and fair then a warrior should have a completely equal counter/move to do the same to his foe if his foe does not have a warrior-defense skill such as parry or wrestling or a weapon skill(which obviously many mages do not have in todays UO because of the ridiculously unbalanced and overpowered sc mage wep)
What I find even funnier is that even when warriors had a decent and chainable para move on their weps every mage in the game whined about it for so long it got nerfed and now weapon paras are all messed up.
3) I run 120 resist on at least half of my warrior templates. Whats your point?
4) You honestly believe that a warrior "tangles" up a mage and kills him as sure and fast as para on a non-resisting warrior? Wow.
Last time I checked para can be pre-cast offscreen and doesnt 'whiff'
*shakes head*
As usual you have reading comprehension issues bud.
Yeah it should. It might encourage people besides spellcasters who don't want to get interupted to actually use it.
Anohter fan. Thanks!
The only way someone could cast a 5th level spell and have it work is if the other player didn't have resist. With resist it negates many spells, including paralyze. So I'm not sure what you're crying about, you're upset that if some idiot has no resist he can be paralyzed? Well that moron should get resist, problem solved.
