Game Mechanics: Spear trap in Sol A - instant kill @1550 hp's?

Hitmonkey · #1 06-12-2017, 05:57 PM

traveling down to buy a tinkerers bag and wondering around, forgot about the Spear trap (spears from both sides) and it instant killed me fully buff'd lvl 46 at around 1550'ish HPs. When I checked my combat window it had hit me 89 times.

That normal? ping around 30s, highend PC on a landline I rarely have ping/lat issues.

Unfortunately that is not normal.
I kind of wish it was, then those sola/b traps might be worth avoiding.

Can you post your combat log from the death? Did you just take 1.5khp in damage or did you take 20k from pain and suffering? Exact logs would help.

It didn't show damage just 'you were hit by' which I counted 89 times

I think he was asking for the logs to validate the timing of the hits. If I was a dev I would be thinking 'Hmmm.... did this guy go afk for 20 mins and came back to find he died, or did these 89 attacks occur within 1 second?'

Would just be more evidence based with the logs. The time stamp may help them validate something server side too, who knows.

I understand what you're saying, but he's answered the question, and not everyone here runs logs 24/7 for petitionquesting.

and I'm guessing his log would look something like this

[Day Month ## ##:##:42 2017] You were hit by spears!
[Day Month ## ##:##:42 2017] You were hit by spears!
[Day Month ## ##:##:42 2017] You were hit by spears!

Even if he did AFK in the spear trap, it likely wouldn't be a spear kill. You'd be more likely to die to a pather lol.

No need to get upset, like I said even the time stamp of the kill could help them out maybe. At 46 I don't know if pathers would even agro but maybe. I'm just saying more information is helpful and can eliminate variables / doubt. I see a lot of threads where people say they completed quests correctly but indeed had turned into the wrong NPC or the wrong items.

I wasn't saying the OP is lying or wrong, just saying it helps to back up his post.

I wouldn't worry too much about log file sizes just yet. I've been playing over a year and my logs only total about 350MB or so. Granted I play more casually, and if I raided I'd expect them to be bigger, but before you move anything around just try it for a few weeks and keep an eye on your file sizes. I can typically play several weeks before they start getting over 10MB. And when they do get in that range, I move them to an archive folder, rename them, and start a fresh log file.
