can this be changed back to the way it was where we could log 3 tiles in if secure and locked up?
just logged in and lost about 200k worth of gear. i've left my guys on those tiles for 2 years and they've never been killed. and a whole boatload of players have spent countless hours camping my doorstep just waiting for me to slip up.

update: players in IRC are reporting that this is a bug that was discovered 2 weeks ago. apparently you are not safe anywhere in a tower, but are in a small house, keep and castle (if secure). please look into this. i like my tower and playing uosa, hate all the clicking to restock when i died cuz of some bug.
new bug for house killing - where are we safe to AFK now?

Re: was killed in tower on an impossible spot
This has been happening a lot recently, from what I hear its related to purple pots as most people have noticed a countdown timer before they die.
I can only assume it's done by targeting the roof of the tower so the explosion will hit everything on the same Z axis, but truthfully I have no clue. It's unfortunate that it happened to you, and it would be great to find out the trick to it, as Abbot has had a house killing coming for many months.

Please choose a more appropriate signature.
Re: was killed in tower on an impossible spot
Purple pots only attack vertically and its very limited (if you were standing next to a table and threw a purple pot into it, it wouldn't hit you. You can't hit people from underneath the roof, either.)Soma wrote:This has been happening a lot recently, from what I hear its related to purple pots as most people have noticed a countdown timer before they die.

Did the journal log say anything regarding your death? Were you afk while it was happening? I would think he either casted an EV on the roof and walked it down into the first floor, or he was using chain lightning to hit you since it has a great reach inside.

Re: was killed in tower on an impossible spot
i have the roof of my tower AND the hallway blocked w/ locked down furniture. there's no EV in any of the death-shots. for two years previous to last night, you could not chain lightning or meteor swarm or purple a character standing in that spot. all it showed in my journal was my chars dying.Hicha wrote:Purple pots only attack vertically and its very limited (if you were standing next to a table and threw a purple pot into it, it wouldn't hit you.

it looks to me like it was EQ because the character still alive is stuck on 0% while the other is dead. but that shouldn't be possible..
Re: was killed in tower on an impossible spot
Bug Report Posted, this is accomplished due to some problem with the line of sight from a few tiles away from a house. Seems to work in towers/keeps and castles.

Re: was killed in tower on an impossible spot
I've reported quite a few valid bugs and era inaccuracies in the past few months that have no comments from staff on them and I just assumed that staff handles them as they are able and does not feel the need to reply to every post.SirLanceAlittle wrote:Are Bug Reports being addressed any more?

And good news - I was in contact with Derrick just a few weeks ago regarding my subscription to UOSA. So he's definitely around
