#54094, "Hey, quick question and a thank you for Valg."


          

First, thanks for making it you can't teleport into the Prison. It sucks being stuck in a norecall/nogate/noexit room due to a teleport. Especially in a place where heroes can't really go.

Second, re: Dire Wolf forest tracking, it's awesome that you fixed it but I have a few questions if you don't mind.

1) I assume Forest Tracking is the pursuit skill in forest rooms that I noticed with my Dire Wolf. If that is true than the skill DID actually work at one point (I was one of the first, if not THE first, Dire Wolves after the shifter revamp) as I used to see it fire relatively often.

2) More to the point, can I now assume that the skill broke sometime after original implementation and hasn't been part of the Dire Wolf skill-set since? If so, how often might we see the skill fire (I used to see it fire 1/4 times in forest-flagged rooms)?

Thanks again, and welcome back. How's the fantasy teams?

My cruelty is limited to letting people into places that will kill them via mechanisms other than boredom.

1) I assume Forest Tracking is the pursuit skill in forest rooms that I noticed with my Dire Wolf. If that is true than the skill DID actually work at one point (I was one of the first, if not THE first, Dire Wolves after the shifter revamp) as I used to see it fire relatively often.

I think what happened is that back in the day, everyone had the same chance. Then as quest forms were added, we put in a block assigning chances based on what form it was. Dire wolf was never mentioned (and defaulted to 0), but it triggered a bug log basically saying the form was broken.

Your estimate of the skill's quality is a pretty good one.

Thanks again, and welcome back. How's the fantasy teams?

In the 13-year history of CF Fantasy Football, I'm now the only 4-time World Champion. I Blame Valg's Ghost took some aging QB from Denver with the 32nd pick and it turned out rather well.
