"Want to desecrate a shrine to Gaia or Artemis? Be someone who can exterminate, or just flat out burn the entire forest. We don't care."
Adding an entire extra line of defense to desecration, ontop of the already inane amounts is kind of silly. If the process of desecrating in the area could turn off summon/forest defense for the time it's going on (or a friggin achaean day), it'd be MUCH less bullshit than it is now. Because, as it stands. Getting yoinked from blackforest all the way to fucking Northern Ithmia, onto a totem, and instantly killed, if you don't precisely time your desecrate after killing literally all of them, is bullshit. And it does have to be all, because if even ONE druid lives. They can just keep harassing you until everyone is up.
Judging by my past experience with Druids in IRE games, the thoughts are probably something like "Druids need to have that insane amount of area control because it would compromise their RP if they were not ridiculously overpowered in the forest, have you considered maybe just completely avoiding the third of the world that is a forest or jungle?"
Bring multiple people capable of desecrating and drop a mono. Then they don't know who to summon and it takes forever because of the malus on summon speed from mono.
Or since youre Targossian, have a priest shield the person desecrating after it's initiated.
Given how Targ refuses to fight Eleusis for the vast majority of the time, it's understandable for you to not know.
- (Eleusis): Ellodin says, "The Fissure of Echoes is Sarathai's happy place." - With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely." - (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")." - Makarios says, "Serve well and perish." - Xaden says, "Xaden confirmed scrub 2017."
Sarathai said: Given how Targ refuses to fight Eleusis for the vast majority of the time, it's understandable for you to not know.
When Eleusis has a penchant for bringing upwards of 12 people, when the other side's group has like 4. It's not too farfetched to think people won't enjoy fighting you.
Or using guards when you already have 3x the people defending.
it was... 5v12 or 6v12. It was pretty out of our favour, since most of our folks got pulled out before I started telling people to move it whenever the summon message came up

Somebody's salty. I'm commenting on not knowing that shield will prevent summon from starting, that's all. If you want to rant, the sewer is that-a-way.

I think you and I both know your comment was a little more than that.
You would be thinking very wrong, then. Don't look for insults where none exist.

Whoa whoa whoa. Everyone's amazing and we are an amazing playerbase. Sometimes people get frustrated. We're all friends enjoying the same game, though. Right?!?!
Is anyone familiar with how the built-in serverside delays work? I can't tell if it's my latency in getting the lines, or rng, or just what it's supposed to be, but I'm reliably taking .25 seconds to cure afflictions. Has it always been that slow?
Compare the timestamps on the prompt you're getting from the server to get an accurate estimate of how long between the affliction and you curing, maybe? I don't know if it's changed, but recently it has seemed pretty slow. Maybe that's just me, though.

"HERE'S THIS NEW MECHANIC TO DEFILE SHRINES!!! It has a windup time, but surely that won't be an issue right?"
That just seems kinda dumb.
I get why Mhaldor exterms so much now.

Does shield stop that shit.
Considered rolling a mhaldorian just to exterm fucking everywhere out of frustration.

They brought their group about 2-3x our size.
They lost.
So the spam grove summon began. :dissapointed:
