Plague

[Bones V2.0]

Didn't plague used to be contageous? And couldn't mobs pass it on to players above the rank 10?

If so, why is it not anymore?

This would make an interesting twist to city life.

Naah it would be to crazy all you need is some dark knight to run around and plague everything and so many people could die or weaken them bad you run in and kill everything

I saw about 2 days ago when someone caught a plague from someone else in his pk range that had it, so that part works still at least. A widespread plague still wouldn't be as fun as it used to be back when plague did real damage.

[Accident-Prone]

Hahahahaha Yes widespread plague. I think it is a great idea. That would add a well deserved twist to a pretty useless spell.

[Mental Patient-101]

USELESS!!!? Plague is the bane of all magic useers, including druids.

[Accident-Prone]

It barely does any damage. Except against avians. I can think of quite a few better spells for all the classes to use instead of plague.

But adding this effect would make me use it more!

[sniffles]

Poor newbie thinking the HP damage is what makes this spell so erm DAMAGING. Think of it this way....it does so little hp damage per hour because the spell would be TOO good if it hurt you more.

[Accident-Prone]

*sigh* Then tell me oh masterful one what makes this spell SOOO powerful then.


And this is besides the point. Lets just say I agree with Bones. And think that making plague contagious(sp?) would be a nice touch.

You've passed algebra right? The damage plague does is amount per tick * amount of ticks. It used to do over 600 damage at level 30. Also you can't regen dick for hp mana mv while plagued, so good luck getting cure if you were caught far from town.

That already exists.

I remember when I was ranking my shaman in the shire with githnaru and there was a warrior trying to train on chickens and wouldn't leave. He was really pissed when he came back to his computer ten minutes later to see himself in the temple.

Plague is one of those things you save for right before your enemies going to run.

If its true that in the first age people under rank 20 would die in 3 tics from plague, then it used to be a very unbalanced spell and im glad that it has been changed. However a plague or two that brakes out through the city may still be fun...... it would force people to leave town, there would be more pking oportunitys, and one could kill ones enemy while he is infected!

Last I remember getting killed by that it was doing dismembers the first tick and killed me with massacre by the fourth or fifth. I was trying to quit in between ticks to get to the bank and back to the healer. Finally made it and had to return to the bank again because I didn't withdraw enough. Eventually I finally paid but the cure failed since it was level 50 plague, so I got killed and expholed anyway, minus a bunch of gold.

It was a nice counter for low rank avians. I wouldn't mind avians getting hit by old-style plague actually since they have the huge mv freedom in both low and high ranks, and that's supposedly their weakness. But for the rest of the mud its kind of retarded and stupid.
