26291, Whip Scorpion VS. other tier 3
Posted by SideStrider on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Will someone please please fix the whip scorpion. After my last three shifters getting this form I cannot stand it anymore. Acid spray for a maim every five hours? Get real. A pinch that cannot be abbreviated or you pinch yourself? "You capture a sauntering elf between both your claws, stunning him." Wheres the stun? Everytime I land one my prey has fled before I even can recover from the three rounds it takes.

I don't particularly care about the rest. Thats just problem I am probably self perceiving, but please atleast fix the pinch problem. I'm tired of pinching myself in a rush to fight a villager attacking me.

You realize that's the case with nearly every lagging attack in the game, right?

That is real...in that you can't just spam it.

>A pinch that cannot be abbreviated or you pinch yourself?

Blame pincer (which is higher in the command queue)

>"You capture a sauntering elf between both your claws, stunning
>him." Wheres the stun? Everytime I land one my prey has fled
>before I even can recover from the three rounds it takes.

Just because you stun him, doesn't mean you stun him longer than you are lagged by doing the move (as is the case with whip scorpion, 1 round for them, 3 rounds for you).
26296, Some pointers.

Firstly, the abbreviation thing shouldn't be an issue. Use aliases. There are a number of free MUD clients that support them. I recommend MUSHClient.

Secondly, you don't understand how lag works. Non player characters are immune to all kinds of lagging manoeuvres. If you pinch another player, they will get lagged though.
26304, your second point isn't completly accurate
