Wheel of Time MUD

Requires coding, but I believe I can fix this. Thanks for reporting.

Holy dung a mechanic draz didnt think to exploit!

So that means it's been the case for like 19-20 months at least. :lol:

That... did not used to be the case! (pre order lag being introduced)

Just tested it and it's pretty clear rescue lag is being overridden by the mob command lag, not coupling with it.

It's pretty close to instant; like, there's barely a beat of lag.

Desolate Plains
The ground is pitted and stained, with small fissures running north
and south. The fissures seem to be the hiding places of many things shy of even
the meager light here, small pale maggots and small spiders. These plains are
scattered with calcified bushes, ancient and more dead than something that has
never been alive.

Can't say really don't ever use rescue other then a mob. I know that they changed mobs to lag you with any command you give them though. So that coupled with the rescue lag maybe is enough? Not sure

The mob order lag seems to take priority over the rescue lag which is...three rounds? If you order a mob to rescue you, versus a PC, the only lag you experience is the delay of pulses based on the order command. Not the expected delay of the rescue.

Sorry if you think this is a personal attack, I'm just noting that the delay is much faster when a mob rescues than when a PC rescues and would be a good way to take advantage of berserk attack.

Not sure what you mean by this. It still lags you, takes a moment to do anything. Glad you came back :p Even if you would of auto'd out again like yesterday when I let you live. You afk there a lot it seems.

Seems like a good way to use berserk as a fade.
