Feign Death spell should not be able to "fallen to the ground"

[Smedy]

the FD spell line never "fell to the ground" as they are a spell. Only the FD abilities had fallen to he ground this was one of the perks of having fizzle/manacost/cast time on FD Spell.

Please fix it bros

[Haynar]

Any links to info thats supports this bro?

This is one link I found discussing feign, and falling, but addresses all the FD classes..

dated 2002.

Maybe there's something of value in it.

I remember first seeing fall to ground messages much later. And only time i remember
fails before that was if u forgot to turn off attack.

I am all for tweaking on fd.

Well, at the bottom it does seem to mention:


Last Updated June 1, 2000.


So maybe it is an accurate snapshot (unless someone forgot to update their last updated time stamp on it).

While we're on the subject of Feign Death - necro FD used to have a fixed duration added didn't it? (or at least it was stated that it would per a patch note at http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20000217a.html, the patch that added Paineel)

xatexx: like did the spell version fail? yeah it did

Disclaimer: Xate is a FoH Shadowknight, best puller you will ever find in Everquest

FD is getting worked on. There are a few issues.

[Haynar]

When u fd in classic, as an sk, you were immediately conning to see if it worked.

And being in FoH, that just tended to mean you were an elitist arrogant ass. Unless you were an SK. Props to Xate. Rarely came across an sk I didn't like. We were almost all arrogant asses.

On Combine (soe first progression server) he pulled everything with Hobbun/Dest.
(random info) Caleros also played with us as a Warrior.

We got Nagafen/Vox/Trakanon/VP firsts over Rogean's guild. Did VP with 16 people as Xate and Sanadebe (SK/Bard) pulled ALL the VP dragons to the entrance. Also lead the charge in camp rotations to get poopsock trakanons by getting first agro as he spawned.

pras Xate. Rogean lost.

On another note, whats bug report have to do with supercool nerd adventure. Stay on topic you dork.

[Pudge]

Err.. what is the point of the Death peace spell then? Just to FD in 1 sec rather than 1.5? No, I believe spellcast FD is still supposed to fail sometimes, based on your alteration skill.

Maybe deathpeace did other things (in addition to higher rate of success) as well? Mobs more likely to instantly forget you or something? Don't know.

But I do know that back in the day resisting a nuke meant you got to stay FD'd.

It failed, but didnt give a fail message until luclin or velious, not sure. Would have to put on my nerd goggles and go digging in the archives

Googling ""has fallen to the ground" everquest" with appropriate date ranges turned up a couple logs (timestamps included) of necros/SKs getting the failure message on FD. I misunderstood the OP at the time I found them though so I didn't post about it.

You fell to the ground. I pulled stuff. It happened.

Post velious though.. tecmos what did you come up with?

[koros]

I mean, it's in mid-Velious. They didn't suddenly throw in the message.
