Illness..

Taeryon Silverlight · Post by **Taeryon Silverlight** » Sun May 13, 2007 8:16 pm

It got very annoying with that coughing and sneezing now. Couldn't the thing be changed, so that a person who was cured once, can't get the illness again? I had to cure my character four times now.

If your character are not intelligent enougth to get rid of it its not our problem.

The way to cure it is known, so whats the point?

wrong. after being cured you quickly get infected again. even if noone sick is around you. its hopeless. it is enough to walk a place someone sick was before to get infected too. and be sure that noone has time to goi into the wilderness for days while a lich is around, threatening all

My char was cured once, and has been through Greenbriar and Vanima (both of which had several sick people) had has not got it again. Maybe your just having a case of real bad luck.

your char? aqnd? a thousand other chars get infected even 20 seconds after they were cured. even if noone sick is near them!

it is unimportant how good your char is in getting cured. many others are not. even the lich started coughing and sneezing today!

Wrong, I can prove that easily since I log everything concerning the desease. You're all infecting eachother again, some people infected eachother 5 times in a row (meaning: just two people involved...).

So yes, a lot of people seem to be too stupid

its hopeless. it is enough to walk a place someone sick was before to get infected too.

I developed and programed that illness and I think I know it rather good. And I can asure you: Wrong again.

and be sure that noone has time to goi into the wilderness for days while a lich is around, threatening all

Not needed.

Every once healed character is immune now for some time (several hours).

Erm...Not that I want to complain but...My char did get the message 'You suddenly feel better now', but I'm pretty sure that in much less than an hour he got sick again.

Please look up the meaning of the word "now" in the dictionary of your choice. Thank you.

the "several hours" part implied that you would be immune for longer than "now"

Edit: Unless he means he just changed the programming to mean that once you're cured thats it, you cant get it anymore?

Stimmt nid. ich saß 3 stunden am feuer.. bin danach nur einmal durch greenbriar gerannt...und promt war ich wieder am husten.....*seufz* ich kann doch nicht den ganzen tag nur am feuer sitzen...wie kann ich dann meine arbeiten verricthten?

I think Martin meant that there has recently been a change to the disease script, and NOW you will be immune for a few hours after being sick

He could have said that also in a less flaming and polemic stile

the problem is, we will never get rid of the sickness. it is impossible to have EVERY single char be cured without infecting anyone other again. there will be ever a player who came to late, who havent knew, or who simply doesnt care. or those who have fun at infecting others again. he just walks near someone, and everything starts again.
honestly...this way the sickness wont be defeated just through player actions.

I didn't flame anyone.

the problem is, we will never get rid of the sickness.

The day will come when you stop crying. Hopefully.

However, where would we, the developers, be without your witty suggestions.

Blah.

Im sorry, but Im sure its very possible to be less harsh in your replies and deal with it without getting annoyed, or atleast sounding annoyed. If someone else says something rough to you fine, they shouldnt have, but if you reply just as rough or worse, it just begins to spiral.

Now I thank you for the information, and Im sorry that some people dont seem be up to intelligence standards, I am quite possibley one of them. And thankyou for programming something that brought a little more interesting twist to the game

THAT is flame, martin. and the way you wrote the other answers is flame too. and you flamed a few days ago in the ooc topic. you use the whole time a flaming language. that means you write your postings in a way the one reading them feels attacked, and maybe even insulted. you don't answer in a normal tone. no,your answers ever leave a bad taste by those to whom you adress your postings. they have the feeling you tried to be mean to them with the way you answred. and often that cause arguements, right now for example. and THAT is flaming.

martin · Post by **martin** » Sun May 13, 2007 10:22 pm

Samantha, I feel insulted by your postings as well, therefore I define them as flame now.

You insult our intelligence by implying that we introduce something without thinking about it first.

I also have some concerns about those diseases, but maybe you welcome those changes first, test them (keep in mind: Illarion is an alpha under constant development) and note what you don't like and why and what can be done to improve this feature. After some time, some changes aren't that bad anymore than they used to be...

Note that I am not in favour of half of the ingame population running around, suffering and ailing.

After the last change of martin in that script the amount of ill characters should lower.
