54483, Did you make changes to servitor happiness recently?
Posted by Conjurer on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Because currently every conjure I make kills me in the end. Can't keep it happy at all doing everything I could. Can't dismiss as well. It's not only my experience. Very, very unusual the past two days. Nothing like it ever before. It's impossible to play a conjurer currently.

The only thing I'm aware of that changed recently I think is pretty minor, and even that isn't new code so much as something I happened to notice didn't previously work reliably. I'll put it up.
54486, Most definitely not it

Please recheck the code, esp. the change made. I lost two con already and unable to play currently. They arrive very pissed, they don't become happy for a long time feeding them and very quickly get pissed off again after that. They also can't be dismissed as easily as before. This is experience of at least two people, with debilsd and demons. Oh, and all of this without recalling or fleeing at all.
54487, were there a lot of high level villagers on?

Bad magic can make conjuring much tougher.

Also if you are in the mid ranks it can be near impossible to get an angry servitor happy if you have low charisma and/or are dealing with evil servitors. Well unless you have a buddy to help tank.
54488, What's the line for "low" charisma? n/t

54496, Less than 20

so basically drow, svirf, arial, and gnome.
54500, Zero villagers

High magic mostly, over a span of at least two days. It is not a one-time occurence, it's a hard nerf making conjie impossible to play. Most probably due to a bug in Daev's last checkin. I am not delusional and not exaggerating. You try dying every 40 game hours at the most, sometimes sooner with no recourse.

I am playing a high level conjie right now and I just want to verify what this person is saying. It's been essentially impossible to play for the last few days. I've been playing lowbie throwaway characters for the most part because I'm tired of losing con to my servitors for no reason. I know for a fact the way I'm behaving towards them hasn't changed, but all of the sudden they are bending me over at every possible opportunity. Please help.
54502, I was just playing a mid level conjurer and had no issues.

Actually during my roughly 50 hours of gameplay I only had one turn on me (it was an injured elemental). I also had an angel attack me due to confuse darts making me attack it. It proceeded to continue chasing me and attacking while still bound (I presume this is normal). It was a goodie conjurer so likely that could be the difference.
54503, I knew there was no good reason for deleting Ulfiy

Please don't delete this one before I get a chance to kill him.
54506, There was a good reason for deleting ulfiy.

I was failing Initial strength tests and skipping work out sessions to play him. I just found a way to motivate myself more. Sorry already deleted.

Sorry to say, I'm not seeing anything wrong or that could even bleed outside of magical transport there.
54505, Thank you for checking, but the behavior changed
Posted by Conjurer on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Suddenly and violently. Probably only affects evil conjies. After a while one develops a 'feeling' for how happy they are and when to feed them. We are telling you something is very wrong and it is recent. Please please recheck again. I can send you logs, but that involves 1 death per conjure.
54484, Good.

Edges made conjurers pretty easy. There should be more turning and less edge power to control them.
