Looks like you were trapped by tentacles...not noflee though.

ack :(

Well those tentacles are fucking stupid, I mobdied my mage there too since I passed the water rooms - once you're in room with them there is no way you can get out, so perhaps some V+ could look into this thing? at least give you some chance to escape?

Kranasty!!!

Bill! Poor Bill!!

I drowned there. *pure luck*
And Elajt got out Awful, its just a matter of luck.
So I heard you got a bigger chanse to escape if you dont have swim on.
Since you now try to flee out on water and shit, and if you dont have swim on you will prb flee out on dry land.
Im not sure tho.

I was 72 years old before, i didnt lose wps i got pure mobdeath,
exactly 2 mesg exploss.
Rogon told me that players have died before to it, the change was made some month ago and the gods knew its bugged but seems they dont give a shit.
Well i want a good explanation of bugged code(untested muddle) and if possible reimb, because 3 years i have been west moria scouted kraken, helped people loot corpses there etc and now this happens???

GET A LIFE! Ill be back on the subject!

Reimb!

Is it possible to kill those tentacles and kraken?

Its possible, just need a dozen sancted dwarves with a load of vellum scrolls
and heal scrolls

And what does that Kraken load :) ???

same happened to Blyn some days ago if I recall it right - smth got fucked up
when they changed Kraken-tentacle muddle

So did any1 actually kill that kraken? And yes,
what does it load???

It must be bugged.

bug? cant u see those tentacles are playing from cz. or atleast nsl... pure trapperwhores

Well, they aren't that hard to kill. I got trapped in a room with 3, Butrus (inside w gate)
told me to flee, I tried but couldn't. so I started killing. I killed one, got to hurt myself
and then tried to flee again, and woooops, off I went =P

*comfs* hope gods won't ignore this just cus another *.ee ripped

Its the amphibian version of roots! Navy roots! Root seals!

This kraken has never been killed i heard.....
there has been attempts tho with huge dwarf grps.

I seem to recall hearing a message about tentacles being changed... now we know the change =(

Well, I just duplicated the flee-prevention algorithm in a setting that had nothing to do with kraken or tentacles. What I saw is pretty much the same thing as Diam saw - that if you spam flee, it can take you as many as 20 attempts to get out of the room (although of course you may be lucky and get out much earlier).

As to Rogon's remark, the bug that has existed in the tentacles mudlle had nothing to do with how difficult it was to flee from them. It was the problem that prevented them from detecting players approach, and it is now fixed anyway. Stop confusing people. *growl*

Uhh Nienor, it didn't take 20 attempts to get out of the room for Diam, I counted 119 attempts to flee.

119 to get out? I never fucken GOT OUT, I MOBDIED!

Ouch, comf

Comfort Diam. Same shit happend to me a same place a few weeks ago.
Ok i didnt get to flee this many times was only 12-15 fails.
Due to lower swim lower hits eq etc i mobripped to hitting tentacle.

I never said you got out, I said there were 119 attempts ya fool. :P

Damn, I was waiting to see some flee/quake action
Oh yeah you dont Have quake

I just wonder if the escape skill would have helped ?
Maybe some experienced players know ?

Cmooon THINK, if u fail flees stop and kill. IF u kill one of em U ARE FREE

kill how as a shaman btw when you can't cast?

REIMB??? Are you fucking stupid or what????? Its the _kraken_. I wish they would up him so players cant fuck around with him unless they realy have a group to back them up. He is suposed to guard the gate, even the fellowship in the book had to run for their lives...

Fellowship was bunch of extremely lucky hobbits. some old fart, elvieboy and some warriors. of course they had to run.
i wonder how that old fart banished balrog?

You cant quake when several tentacles entangles you!

Well maybe blackfoot can quake underwater and maybe nacs can also whack 6 tentacles under water. Tho Nacs lets go today there and ill show you where you can exp on them and when u get back to me alive, ill salute you.

Upp him as much u want, make him smob and breathe fire and piss napalm all that i care, Just let me know when u do change like this after 3 fucken YEARS!
I WOULDN'T GO THERE FUCKING SHIT!

Not that Othrod is fucking shit :P, just the case.
And Othrod why arent u supporting me! Dammit! I didn't kill your whitie!
Oh SHIT DID I?

-- Othrod commented: "He is suposed to guard the gate, even the fellowship in
-- the book had to run for their lives..."
And run they did, INDEEEEEEED and got away ALSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :P

HUGEEEEEEE Comf....
for what its worth...nice buffing kraken...3 hits on bad

Well, i've never killed THAT kraken but the one at fnost is a real pussy: takes 1 unsanced buffer and 2 casters. With that i only wanted to say that talk about 12 sanced dwarves is full-scale bullshit. To kill this guy i estimate some 6 or so TOUGH dwarves who know what rescue means and there ya have it.

Ouch, huge comf :O( Sucky mobdeath.

Not to mention that those dwarves would be have to be half-fish to breath underwater. :)

huge comf dia :(

Amphibie dwarves! Navy dwarves! Dwarf-seals!

Yeah, as Zhagrat asked: WHAT DOES KRAKEN LOAD!!!???

He should hold there all the treasures of the dead orcs, legends etc:P
So a nice 10 sets of legend eq!

Comf Diam, nobody deserves to die like that. Not even some1 who trapped me with
10 ppl in noflee room that nobody knew about before...

Maybe you should have went aggressive when you were up and kill the tentacle which
was entangling you and then try to flee. Or can more tentacles entangle you at
the same time? I am not sure...

And also black candle could help maybe (again not sure if you can use things
when entangled).

Well Tyrnyhvel it isn't that easy. Sure, it is the same Kraken, however, since you cannot cast on him and he is underwater. If you have ever tried to check necklace you know how quickly you lose move underwater. You try killing kraken
with only hitters once, then do it when you are losing moves and drowning after
a few rounds of fighting.
If that was full-scale bullshit why has nobody ever done it?
Watcher is quite definitely harder than balrog and look as how many people that
takes to do. I would love to see 6 people try and kill watcher so I could go
loot them all when they mobdie. :P

re: casting at tentacles
Well Ive never been there and dont ever want to be there but
it looked to me like the tentacles werent engaged on you the
whole time, else youd have died a lot sooner.
that is to say, i think the flees actually work, and combat is
stopped, so it puts you back in the room....like roots...
which is why i said it looked like earthquake would work.
shrug

eep !

I think everybody who is there first time mobdies. Just sucked that it happened on so high level for u. There are cpl of more places when i think everyone have mobdied at least once - like lord area or emaciated wargs in ooc.

I went down there saw screen got a heartattack a headache and shaking hands rl but managed to insta go up and run like hell away =P

=P

*COMF* diam =(

I remember mobripping at Chief in tbad twice within 10 mins cause some .cz (friendly ones
I know from another mud) said it was safe to go loot corpse.....

Well, never died there again, yet.

I walked in that room and was trapped onetime as dwarf but i just fled away.
I have done it with Bn as well....not sure why you were so unlucky, must
be all that nice eq you carry.

As a matter of fact: YES! That kraken has been killed. Trixy did it using
shoot-flee tactics on him while I was bobing-sancing-healing him. That was of
course before the bow-missile-change. And he didn't load a shit! Maybe it could
be butchered tho like scaly beast?

I was bobing-sancing-healing Trixy of course not kraken as it might seem from
my last post :P

I had no weight maluse, its impossible to cast underwater and to cast whilst tentacles entangle you. I have always fled away from him, this wasnt the first time i scouted there, i knew what i was doing. I also spammed down, up, north if u check the log more closely, but tentacles grabbed me before going north. They changed tentacles some month ago, thats why this time i never fled,
its a new "feature", with some 0.1% of getting away. But i want a fucken good explanation why after 3 years they change something what has been that way, even if its a reason, they dont give a notice that kraken is changed.
I wont scout that motherfucker if id known they changed the shit.
Or IS IT A MUST NOW TO MAKEA A IMMORTAL TO GET UPDATED WITH ALL COMING "FEATURES", WELL I DONT WANT TO RUIN THE GAME FOR MYSELF MAKING THE MOTHER FUCKER.

So a good explanation is welcome and not that some,"sorry you were just unlucky"
,thats not an explanation but reason.

They change the sage, they put a notice, they change the balrog, they put a notice, well FUCKING SHOULD hAVE PUT A NOTICE ON THE KRAKEN ALSO.

You should get reimb for that I think. But I guess the Ainurs just come up with some dumb explanation for you to not get it.
