Was off EQ for 20s due to Harstone sapling + Ascendant skill. Plus it didn't even break the room...

I find this totally unfair, and an extremely frustrating mechanic.

The most it should possibly knock you off EQ for is 6 seconds, which is still too much because they can sap and vine for a guaranteed kill.

Furien2009-03-16 23:46:19
Nah, I did run into it back with Xenthos, when Celenwilde vs. Magnaglom was more commonplace, with the latter at least being able to field a meld and enough bodies to keep it up.

Just to also point out. Your not breaking the room had nothing to do with sapling or ascendant or anything else other than the fact you were in a room that couldn't be broken due to the dynamics of melds.

Ascendant adds like 1 second. It's almost not noticeable.
Esano2009-03-17 00:26:27
It's noticeable. And if Gregori was the Ascendant, wouldn't it be longer (buffed by Nature Domoth)?
Shryke2009-03-17 00:27:11
To every one of Gregori's points. I already know all of that. (Hence why sapling is included in the desc)

And I'm not retarded. I know why I couldn't break it. Lern2mulch is no excuse for a 20s EQ loss for 1 mistake.

Edit: To more clearly shut you up-

A) It is unbreakable because-> It takes me +1 second to infest vs. purify, so if their melder comes and counters me, I will always lose, and eventually they'll work back up to sapling (assuming no demi squad comes to destroy you)

cool.gif HOW IS 20S off EQ EVER OK?
1st- Failed forceforests should take half EQ
2nd- Max EQ loss for infesting/forceforest/forcetaint etc. should be 6s

So your complaint is that you died because you didn't mulch, and tried to break a room that was unbreakable.

Sounds like 2 mistakes to me and had you mulched and then broke you would have been off eq just a few seconds for the failed breaking.

I restate. Lern2mulch and lern2break.
Shryke2009-03-17 01:28:47
Lern2recognize that I shouldn't be off EQ for 20s for not doing that.

I'm not complaining that I died. I'm complaining that there is a 20s EQ loss, though I like what you're trying to do there with your underhanded arguments.

Nothing should cause 20s of EQ loss.

It is relevant because you are whining about being off eq so long that you got sapped and vined. Something that would not have happened had you had protection scroll up, assuming Alianna didn't climb down to dissolve you, if she even knew you were below her.

Seriously, you bitched and moaned and cried on the clan about this and we told you numerous times "mulch the trees" and then you tried arguing there was no trees it was all ascendant blocking you. Learn your skills. People have been dealing with this since saplings came out a long long time ago, and yet... you are the only one who can't seem to manage.

His death wasn't the point. It was a result, but the focus of his complaint was the 20 second equilibrium loss.

Whether or not it "would have happened" if he had protection up or whatever you are trying to say is secondary to his point that he made a boo boo and fell into the bottomless pit of equilibrium loss. 20 seconds is incredibly excessive here.

The Ascendant message is also misleading as hell. It confused me for a while when it first came out.
Narsrim2009-03-17 03:50:33
Did Ixion possess Gregori?

I don't care what mistakes were made, it's ridiculous to attempt to justify being knocked off equilibrium for 20 seconds. It doesn't matter what happened. It shouldn't be possible. End of story. Period. Exclamation point. Thank you. Come again.
Xavius2009-03-17 03:54:20

Anyways, yeah, saplings are brutal, but Gregori will never concede that. He's the guy envoy who thinks druids need a buff to their demesne power.
