Test Release Discussion - September 29, 2009

[ukebec]

That's very interesting Zep. Apparently he varies his methods. Tonight I watched him attacking a barricade as I was using staff against him. This was on Lankoglia server and there was a much smaller pirate presence. He never attacked the surrounding pirates. The audio was grunting/groaning and he moved back and forth in front of the barricade. He was defeated without ever taking another pirate out.

I witnessed invasions on both test servers tonight. The invasion is definitely commensurate with the player presence...the more pirates the more undead, and the greater the agression level of the undead.

Here are the screenies I was able to get:

This is the ending of the 2nd invasion I was in...JR attacking a barricade personally.



The results of that defeat, in which JR was killed.



...to be continued...

3rd invasion I was in tonight. Edward Edgemenace and Swash II were instrumental in convincing people to "throw" the fight for test purposes. A tip of my tri-corn to them both.

Even ranged weapons are too far away to work from the top of the shipwright's establishment. And in case you're wondering, (I did), you can't hit JR's ship with a grenade as it sails by. Edited to say, yes, I know I'm holding a staff in this cap, but I switched to 'nade as JR's ship sailed by and couldn't hit it with "long volley"*

After losing the battle the invaders continue to fight. Note that there's a sliver of sky in the upper left corner of the pic, behind the personal status bar. The sky is now normal, not green, yet the skels fight on.

I've been having trouble with my screenies not "taking". I got a scroll-like pop-up after the battle, like the ones that show your reps after a win. It showed Jolly Roger Victorious at the top. You still get credit for your fight, but my screenie of that didn't save. Sorry.
