treasure hunting after the patch
Eric A. Hall
did all my maps. I got another one yesterday, so what the heck, called up a
warrior pal and we went to see what crazy things OSI had in store for the
red-headed step-child skill char.
Dug up the treasure, recalled from spawn same as always. Spawn was light
(only four elementals) and my warrior bud had them mostly dead when I got
back. We tried the stacking bug, but it's been fixed: "something is blocking
your view" or similar whenever you try to take stuff out of the chest. This
makes me happy, since I solo t-hunt a lot and it pisses me off to see a
gaggle of cowards piled on top of each other when a little common sense
works just as well.
Anyhoo, commenced to unlock and telek the chest. STill works, no need to do
detect and remove hidden yet (thank heavens).
Weird thing is that on spawn, monsters don't spawn in war mode anymore. They
have to acquire a target then they will attack. Most of the time I was able
to hotfoot away from the chest before being acquired, which meant that most
of the time the spawn targetted my warrior buddy, who whooped them fairly
easily.
I didn't get away from an Ogre Lord fast enough once (or, more precisely, my
freaking client crashed while I was hot-footing it). Logged back on to dead
char. Long story after this but my warrior friend can't rez yet (now he
tells me) and we're on an island w/o healers. He is on the boat and won't
get off. Some jerk loots my corpse, nabs the boat key (hey I only carry the
boat for the hunts), and we spend the next few hours fighting it out. Long
story short, I still have the boat, but am out the loot from that haul.
Anyway. Overall the trip was pretty easy, possibly easier than normal given
that the AI is fairly predictable and they don't spawn swinging.

Also meant to say that two blades on an Ogre Lord still do the trick,
especially when they work together at the same time. Nothing teleported onto
the boat. The air eles cured themselves, that was about the extent of their
magic use. Three fire fields killed four elementals, about the same as
usual.

When your client crashed were you in a party? We did a treasure map today
and all of us crashed repeatedly with the party system. In the end we gave
up using it.

Doesn't matter. It's curious, certainly, but irrelevant. Two BS at once does
a lot of damage. Three does even more.

Nope.

The stupid spammed message "Ogre Lord resists the poison" drives me
crazy. A lot of times I'll pop to icq and keep my journal open in case
I miss anything...Doesn't work now :P I wish the journal wouldn't
record EVERYTHING. Like cutting bandages and this poison spam
especially.
Party system is total garbage so far...I wouldn't use it for any reason
until it gets a MAJOR overhaul.
