Monster luring

I don't suppose the portal could be put near the cross to a town...that would solve the portal problem I would imagine?

FYI

I almost made a mistake tonight. I attacked some trolls, found out one can cast spells, and I opened a portal to get the He@@ out of there!

It followed toward me, but as it hit the portal before I could reach it, nothing happened. Quaking in my boots, I ran as fast as I could to a cross and lost it, but interesting that Trolls didn't go through the portal anymore.

Either staff fixed this problem, or they should examine why Trolls don't go through portals and implement this on all creatures.

This is currently so if the monster is spawned by a normal spawnpoint. But not if its spawned by a script. I don't know how the golem is handeled.

One point to add: Don't take away freedom in exchange for security - for security might become rather lame in the long run.

From a technical point of view, no action is needed imho. As Cassandra stated, monsters usually stay around their spawn points if no PC interferes. Also, monsters using teleporters is nothing I'd remove. It might be reasonable to place extremely strong monsters like golems in caves or on mountains.

I remember on old discussion about people opening portals near spawns or luring monsters to town. It was considered PK (with other methods) if no roleplaying background is involved. But villains might have a valid reason.

FYI

Anyone stupid enough to 'lure' Golems need to know that they now through Boulders, and damn they hurt!

Kurga took three of them before having to run for it.

I don't think anyone will be luring Golems and living to make it to Trollsbane.

Teleport Portals are disabled for monsters now. Only until i find a more nasty solution to annoy the players.

I liked dying in town, it was fun. I guess people don't understand the true meaning of roleplay.

*looks at nitram* are you serious?!

why should he be kidding?
players, who let their chars flee through portals, everytime it gets rough, deserve a little punishment...

NOT??
why didn't you tell me before????????

Salhari · Post by **Salhari** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 6:23 pm

oh no i wasn't saying anything bad about it, i was just wanting to know if he was serious so i do not make that mistake and kill my character by accident. And if you are not playing, Nitram, how far must you be from a monster before it is safe to open a portal?

Post by **Nitram** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 7:32 pm

200 tiles and your are absolutly sure.

A little below can work two but you have to remember the movement of the monsters so its possible that they walk into the "problematic area"

only on the same level? I hope so. And this counts for every hostile NPC, so goblins, trolls, skeletons, bandits etc?

Siltaris · Post by **Siltaris** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 8:11 pm

Noooo, the fly was 201 tiles away from the portal and Sil died when walking through the portal!

Samantha Meryadeles · Post by **Samantha Meryadeles** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 8:12 pm

Really? o_O

you really die if you use a portal while a monster is closer then 200 tiles???

I hope everyone knows where the monsters are before using a portal...check behind buildings etc.

Athian · Post by **Athian** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 8:32 pm

does seem a bit extreme when ya think about it doesn't it

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 8:40 pm

Is this a joke? 200 tiles is over 10 screens in front of a character, it is impossible to know if there's a monster near that space.

Athian · Post by **Athian** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 8:57 pm

meaning you need to check a huge area around yourself if your anywhere in the wilderness

Skaalib Drurr · Post by **Skaalib Drurr** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 9:01 pm

This is obviously a joke about the dying.
