#799, "Parting Blow"


          

Alright, I understand the parting blow idea, and how it keeps you in the fight too... but this is ridiculous.....

The centurion blocks your path and tells you to pay the toll to pass.
PANIC! You couldn't escape!
Flee
Soagali is covered with bleeding wounds. (50% - 75%)

<54%hp 54%m 21%mv 12639tnl> Soagali gets in one more shot as you flee.
Soagali's parting blow MASSACRES you!

I get hit with however many parting blows within about 3 seconds of real time too... Thats just... pathetic... There should really be a lag or something on that.

Early bird gets the worm, Second mouse gets the cheese!

#800, "Not a bug."
In response to Reply #0


          

In the future, keep game design complaints elsewhere and let the bug board just be for bugs. Parting blow hasn't changed significantly since its introduction -- I can't imagine you seriously believed this to be a bug. On a less friendly day I'd have just deleted this without ever unqueueing it.

Don't bother posting this particular complaint to gameplay, though. This facet of PB isn't changing. If you don't want to keep giving up parting blows, don't keep trying to flee in a situation where you can't. I can see no reason to retrofit the game to reward mistakes and stupidity.
