#11968, "Wither"
|
Would you please make wither take away actual hours rather than years from the lifespan, if not remove that affect completely? Right now it completely ####s over the more short-lived races.
Nobody should age-die in 200 hours.

>> Bundeltorf wore multiple heavy-duty +aging items, which did at least as much damage as Wither. That was what directly killed him. Pushing a human's age way up when you know Wither has taken a toll is pretty reckless, and completely avoidable. There's maybe a couple dozen items in the game that unnaturally age a character.
I doubt this, as I was only wearing two +age items for a total of +16 years. Of course it's impossible for me to be sure, but from what I've heard a life-shortening wither can take away up to 15 years, which suggests an average of 7.5 years(about 60 hours for a human) each time it happens. And I was withered four times, three of them gave the 'takes years away from your life' echo. While I was playing, didn't notice the aging affect on the withers, as I never had any problem with it before (never even had a char enter old age).. Had I remembered to count the agings I wouldn't have worn those damn rings.

but I can't swear on it. If i wore anything else, it was a 1 time deal. And as a lowbie. In the last 100 hours or so of bundeltorf's life, he only used eog rings that were age affecting.

Maybe I'm missing something, but by your own math there you managed to whack off a maximum of (16+15+15+15=) 61 years. That might cut your average human lifespan from, what, 85 down to 24? That's a lot of freakin' aging. Or if you go with just average withers, 38.5 years. Either way it's bad.
Anyway, the nice thing about +aging affects is that with just a HAIR of planning, they're really easy to avoid for anyone. Yes, wither affects too.

All I see is Shamans doing EVERY thing they can to land that sup.

With the potential to dish out -20 strength, if it hits for full affect, most folks are dropping their weapons.

Don't think I've been hit by a biggie in a while. That and I'm like Denny Crane - mad-cow disease, so my memory is alllowed to be spotty.

Sorry, to be clear I meant it's fairly easy to avoid the aging affects of wither. Not necessarily the wither itself. And I don't mean it's some super-secret way, just think about how most spells in the game work.

I'd also want to see rot-induced con deaths removed. Isn't the supplication good enough without the lame kill chance?

That arial or whatever age died faster because of a shaman, but I think Marcus chooses to age death by wearing lots of aging gear instaed of deleting when he's tired of a character (since these are the only one's of late that have age died at really low hours that I recall).

Could be wrong on which character we're talking about.

Like I said, I wore two eog rings.. Last time I wore both, it just bumped me into old age. And why the hell would you think I choose to age die when it's happened to me once and I'm currently bitching about it? Daft.

I didn't bother to see who started the thread, and I *thought* it was you that played a muter fortie not to long ago that your didn't want to delete, and didn't want to play anymore, so you basically age deathed him on purpose, but obviously I was mistaken.
