Stormies and Fires

Flying races (not magical flight) should also receive a lag-reduction bonus. I'm pretty sure avians do' date=' not sure about faeries - I'm gonna guess not based on recent activity.[/quote']

"[06/01/09]: Bash properly takes avians into consideration"

Viri did something when we complained that Faerie Thieves died the moment they missed a blackjack on a Laging class.

Someone argued that since Faeries were flying, they should be harder to bash. Viri apparently liked it and said he coded something for all autoflight races. Faeries and Avians.

Mya there is a straight.forward bash chance reduction. You don't need mounted combat to receive.it

Avians also.have a.coded advantage. I don't recall fae getting.it

[Croyvern]

So we are now comparing regular races with Qraces? Yep' date=' sounds like a valid argument![/quote']I was not trying to bash Masokant with a regular class. So my char was on the same play field. My point was it is not a bashing issue that removed these races from the respective classes. Demons are Large, and harder to bash, yet were not removed. SO the last four pages of posts placing bashability as the prime reason why they should not exist is, to me, ridiculous.

One thing I have always thought though, that I think would even out an op'dness on a storm paladin, is make vuln weapons actually hit the vulns w/o needing to throw the weapon, for the vuln damage. Same with elves/drow.

[mmajunkie]

I'd agree the point of having a vuln without having quality weapons to hit those vulns is a little useless.

[Balgashang]

Its not even the quality level, imo, i can think of a couple ****ty vuln weapons, yet, they do nothing, unless thrown.

I mean, in some ways I guess not being able to touch the eq counts, but like, ferals, fire giants, they really take damage from thier vuln all the time. I mean, two equal dressed warriors dwielding daggers, equal skill, stormie using the iciciles is going to own the fire/feral using the storms vuln, because it just doesn't work...kinda pointless to have the vuln, in my opinion. I mean, I know storm giant players are just raging behind thier screens when they can't wear that awesome oaken faceplate. I mean, I can think of maybe one weapon at 50 a storm giant might want to use that they can't. I can think of more eq at 50 that a fire giant would want to wear, but can't, not real sure about ferals, cause I haven't played one.

Its not just that. No evil can really hit a drow vuln too

We were talking about paladins. So far as I know, we don't have demon paladins.

How many of you bash locked Masokant?

Kurvikhel did.. (well his undead army and some *coughghoultouchcough*)

[-Totenkopf-]

Vampire - lag locked Masokant He did it to me three times first though

[Dale]

My Green Dragon bashed him pretty good.

Mya there is a straight.forward bash chance reduction. You don't need mounted combat to receive.it

Let's talk about the operator && in C.

This is the operator that translates as AND.

If you have a IF statement that checks something that has && like "IF A && B then X else Y", then it means that both A and B must be true for the X to happen, else Y will happen. Even if A is true but B is false, Y will happen.

http://docs.hp.com/en/B3901-90003/ch05s10.html

"if (won_lottery || (enough_vacation &&money_saved))"

Here is an example.

This IF happens if either "won_lottery is true OR "enough_vacation" AND "money_saved" are BOTH true.

PS: Yes, I know "IF A && B then X else Y" is not very well formatted but it's just an example.

Also there is this nice operator ! that negates things.

For example !MYA would mean that anything NOT MYA would be true. (I think.)

[Twinblades713]

I just threw up and it's EVERYWHERE. Thanks Mya. ****

[mya]

Your Wellcome. I hope it's not Coke.

[mmajunkie]

What does that have to do with Avians and not faeries getting the coded bonus? Or mounted people who are not paladins getting a bonus?

[mya]

How do you know there is a bonus?

If it's from your personal experience playing the game, then nothing, else relevant.

PS: This is all about Mounted, not Faeries.

[mya]

My Green Dragon bashed him pretty good.

Green Dragons are evil. One of my Clerics once died to a 4 round lag bash from one of those. That is what you get from trying to save mana on protective shield.

[mmajunkie]

It is directly from the code.

[mya]

Then go check it again armed, with this &&+6 longsword of knowledge.

You mean knoledge, don't you?

[mmajunkie]

She did mean knoledge....but she typo'd

[f0xx]

Where's that colorful signature Mya? I really miss it :~(

[Croyvern]

knowledge = aquaintance with the facts.

Why do you give her hell when she spells something right? :confused:

[Kyzarius]

I am confused (nothing new)

I was always under the impression that without mounted combat, it is best to NOT be mounted when in battle.

Lets put it this way... being mounted in combat without having mounted combat has its ups and downs

Basicly you WANT to be mounted against a bash happy character and you DON'T want to be mounted against a mage or someome who can't bash.

Also, if you have protective shield you don't want ot be mounted at all
