Rules

Post by VagaStorm »

Ther seem to be some confusion wether this:
III - Thou shalt not exploit known bugs, nor intentionally cause another player to suffer a respawn penalty. This includes purposefully using summons or nearby NPCs to kill a player with the intention of causing a respawn penalty; if it happens accidentally, remember, it's on your head to prove that it was truly an accident if it becomes a problem.
includes stoning ppl with shifted shapes. Clarification would be apresheated :p
Best Regards

Why would I want to count 12 hours twice? I’m perfectly capable of counting to 24, and while we’re at it, can someone go shoot named time zones. GMT+x is all we need!

No calrafication required, i had a long chat with a DM about this today.

The rule is broken IF and only IF the person knew it would cost you xp.

So here it is folks - BASILISK AND MEDUSA GAZE cost people xp on respawn.

While we are on this subject, i have 2 shifters, plz bare with the devs on this. Shifter is one of the best and most fun classes to mess around with and stuff. Currently because of some work to stop the shifter crash other things have been sacrificed for the time being.

They need help by people posting or pm'ing the things like this that are all stuffed. This costing xp is a side effect of the changes they made to shifter to stop server crashes, which ill say cost thousands of more xp then the gaze attack :p

Also i know because i have a dragon AND an undead/kobold dude the ac's and things are a bit crazy atm - but they are looking at all this rest assured they know some stuff is heading for the unhittable unless you roll a 20 range, im talking 100+ ac. Again dont expect it to stay that way forever.

So i leave you with that, if we have 2 or 3 months whatever of these problems being ironed out it is imo better than another 2 or 3 mnths of frequent and frustrating server crashes on shifter death, lol mine have died a lot and not 1 crash !

Going to let you all in some secrets that are not so secret.

With the new 1.69 patch coming out whenever it does, the entire tire are working on a whole mess of things within NS4. There will be some major changes, some minor, some stuff reworked and adjusted. The relic system is being looked into, In-game Rules, Forum Rules, Policies.. The whole works.

There might even be new classes and races. opps.. MIGHT!!! There will be new content. Pure classes adjusted, some added, some removed.. who knows.. However there is a huge amount of testing going on, information being gathered, discussions being held, the list goes on and on. Part of all this, is reading the forums, getting a good feel as to what players think about what.

All the while, we are still entertaining you with events, offering our help, and scarying the beegeebbers out of some... When 1.69 goes in it will be almost like NS4 is new again, with that familiar feeling. Tons of lovin is going into it now with much more on the way. The staff want to be overly proud of calling NS4 "home" and hope all Aerthians will do the same.

We're watching and need the reporting of any bugs/exploits you know of. That would be a huge help. If you report please do so in PM. Those who know of an exploit or have been told that "A Action/Thing" is an exploit, who continue to exploit that "Action/thing" will still be dealt with accordingly. We don't want people going out there exploiting LIKE MAD and saying that they were doing research.

The next "bestest" way players can help is to follow the rules so we can spend more time doing the research that needs to be done and holding events that players like so much. If we have to keep dealing with rules it will only takes away time from elsewhere.

Player is not allowed to use any form of Flesh to Stone or Petrifying Gaze against another player no matter what the source, that would cause a hit on xp when that player respawn's. Same goes for Assassins. Once you have stunned, stoned, frozen a PC you must kill that player off so they can respawn without XP loss.

As Vagastorm posted.. accidents happen, but it is on the head of the one using that ability to prove it was an accident.

Happy Hunting

The Devil Angel doesn't like me, she likes to corrupt other characters when you ask her to erase one of the other ones. :P
It was hard for me to accept too, 1st time I heard these words. I let them take away my pain. Just as you will change when you realize you can be embraced by Lolth's blessing, those of you who will right now, drop to your knees, and ask to be purified.
