Had the same thing happen to me, got thown into that poison room relatively quickly
I almost get the feeling the Devs are actively trying to p*ss me off enough that I give up on this game ... there was a genuine problem with abuse of systems in Blackthorns, but how they thought this was a good response to it beggars belief ...
I really hope so... can't check yet since Europa has not got the Publish until tomorrow morning my time....
Great so now the scripters can just recast invis every 19 seconds.... Great fix, Such Development, Much Wow
It won't eliminate anything..... Scripters can indeed mimic ANY actions a player can so now the scripters will just mimic the actions that get around the system for maximum farming.... Granted they will perhaps put a dent in them because I do imagine some things are harder to do and for awhile at least things will be better.Instead of complaining, maybe some of you should try it in-game for yourself to see how it works.
You don't need to be completely mobile the whole time....but....if you are are not mobile and idle for 10-15 minutes, you'll see what happens. It's not if you remain immobile for a short period of time....
Bottom line, it does a good job of eliminating a rather large problem of unattended farming. Period. End of story.
More than likely, the people that are crying are the ones that are going to end up into a room full of noxious gas because they aren't really there...
Ironically, my 120 stealth/100 hide thief still occasionally gets revealed by skeletons and hellhounds, and fairly regularly by the greater dragons, but that's fine, it's part of the risk of stealthing for me... it was the idea of automatically being telestormed or revealed that was concerning...
It does affect thieves while "stealthing"...
Remaining mobile you still get revealed every 20+ seconds. If you invis yourself and there's a mob near you, it's insta reveal too. Not only is this change buggy but it seems to screw all stealthers, not just AFK hidden tamers. Is it a big impact to me on my thief, not really since I just normally stealth through the red mage room to check on the Gold Painting and run in wolf form thru the rest of the areas, but it is a PITA to get revealed 3 times in under a minute when I'm moving and there's not a mob anywhere near me to reveal me and this is with 120 Stealth and GM Hiding.
It seems you get revealed while hidden or stealthing anywhere outside of the entrance & the first main room in blackthorn dungeon. Basically any room where monsters spawn inside the dungeon, It's a good change, might bring a little more value back to the minax drops, they have went from about 1m per (maybe 2) down to like 250k-350k per since they've been out.
time to invest in invis pots!Well that's... irritating, since my thief uses ninja form to stealth scout out for the stealables....
I guess maybe they thought this was a fix for the stealth herding and/or luring of monsters, but again, it's not a particularly brilliant one for other people playing perfectly legally....
I don't. It's ridiculous. I understand why they did it...because everyone whined about the big bad afk farmers. For the love of god, stop whining about how others play the game.
They didn't "fix" anything, they put in a half-arsed change that will only annoy legitimate players a la the mining/lumberjacking randomization "fix". AKF script farmers will just add a routine to hide every 20 seconds or so and go back to cornering the market on artifacts. So much for the "fix."
