Dumb question - Dull Copper Elementals

[Aurelius]

Since I've an archer I'm training up, with an elemental slayer bow, and a need for gems to train an imbuer, I thought I'd have a wander round Shame, might even get a piece of Virtue armour as well... except things got a bit odd when fighting Dull Copper ellys.

Now it may be my memory failing, but I don't remember them 'exploding' on death, doing quite a bit of damage to my archer if they were too close when the final arrow hit them!

Did they always do that, or is it a recent 'upgrade' they were given?

 

[Jonathen]

I've certainly never seen them do that! Maybe another random new SA thing?

 

[Petra Fyde]

oh wow! they put that back in?? They used to do that back in 2k when I first started!

 

[Hildebrand]

Interesting.
Seems some old things are making their way back?
Perhaps the DEV underlings are cleaning up some code?

Might be my fault, I posted a thread a few weeks ago:

Morning all. I just read a REALLY interesting interview with Cal ... errr .. whatever on Ten Ton Hammer about SA. He said there that they put in a few "easter eggs" since they had time, so maybe these exploding ellies are one of them?

I have to check them out later *g*
