This change comes very close to allowing people to be permabashed with almost no ability to do anything in between.

It’s very dumb. People saying “you just don’t understand multibash” are wrong.

It’s an unforeseen byproduct of the changes made to multibash and I’m certain it’ll stick around with the official stance being that it’s working as intended until they figure out how to fix it, they’ll they admit they fucked up.

How did that even happen? I don't get the mechanics going on.

Multibash rolls on everyone now

Missed bash on Nexen means scrat is sitting Nexen is not. So warder starts timer on Nexen again before scrat unsits. Scrat stands and gets bashed again

Because Starvald is missing on Nexen, he can then roll another bash once he recovers. This means Scrat eats the multibash without a chance to do much else.

I personally love it when players go away for 10 years then play for a month and make an immortal to make massive changes on the game. Especially the parts that are literally the only reason we play - PK.

The best immortal return story is Eileen being gone forever then comes back for a month, changes ways, de-dreadlords Jestin. Then quits the next week. Fantastic stuff.

Not all bad, change is definitely rough for many. I just find all these recent warder and keep changes silly considering warders have been around forever and have consistently died forever. The only difference is Draz plays a lot now and kills a lot of mobs…not even Players. Silliness.

The “is this person sitting already” check happens at the start of a bash presumably. For warders, maybe that should check against all the players they’re engaged on and not let a bash roll otherwise.

Would it be simpler for the warder to just get the “they already seem to be stunned” message for targets already bashed (whether at the start or end of bash, probably at the end makes more sense) and let them keep rolling as is?

It was chuckle worthy. They should have left multibash alone and made it so it only worked with sedai online.

Good for posting it Scrat, I was talking to Akane after that about how silly it was but I never captured the log.
