Summoner Issues

[CDB-Man]

I've noticed that summoner doesn't always work anymore, meaning I cant summon others and others cant attach with full energy some of the time.

 

Is it broken?

 

Has it's use been limited in some way?

--> Does it matter where the lanc is?

--> Does it matter where the attacher is?

[Acer]

Yes if they are antiwarped it won't work.

 

Anyways I haven't really noticed anything. But the onething I have noticed is that I was antied by PD today...

[Cheese]

love how you ignored me ALL 5 TIMES when you got the answer to this.

aw is known already

 

 

 

SUMMON NO LONGER ACTIVE WHILE LANC IS IN MINI OR SAFE

[CDB-Man]

Lol sorry cheese, my screen was flooded and I didn't notice. Thnaks for the answer though.

 

What I'd like to know is WHY disable it when lancs are in safe?

 

Why disable it in mini? That's a blatant attack on minibase, trying to get rid of it

PD copies what it's owner is doing.

Oh, Alright then. Kinda freaked out when I saw, "Your antiwarped by PD". Thanks for solving my semi-question.

There are areas including safe zones where players cannot be summoned to. So attempting to attach there will use the normal attach function.

Mini should just be removed instead of nerfed. :\

Lancs should be able to attach to other lancs without summoner. It's a pain in the butt for me when I'm the only lanc with summoner and there are 2 other lancs on my team and I can't attach to them. It's an extreme inconvenience. Edited March 9, 2009 by protocol_

[Kilo]

Lancs can't attach to other lancs? Since when?

The negligent father speaks.

[Kilo]

Those are both pretty strong words that hardly describe me at all. Don't you have some another game you don't really like to harass people in?

Who expects there to be no mistakes, or to have all mistakes known immediately through clairvoyance? omni.

Either way I don't know of anything that's changed that would affect this so if someone could answer the question of when it happened it'd probably make it easier to fix.

I just wanted to confirm that sometimes summon is doing a regular attach with energy drained in bases. Not just in mini or safes. The behavior is not consistent or repeatable.

[Kilo]

Do you have flags when it happens? Edited March 9, 2009 by Kilo

[Deathmonger]

No flags. I just noticed about 1 every 10-15 attaches or so, I've got zero energy. I vaguely have the impression that it may occur when I flood the lanc with 2-3 macros in a row, or if the lanc just died and attached to another lanc. It seems to occur with all ships. I'd say this started happening since the summon-in-mini changes. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

[Suicide_Run]

The only issue I had with summoner last time I played was that on rare occasions, I would lose all my energy and be still stuck at center. Like it would summon me to lanc then magically warp me back to center and lose all energy. Issue is probably fixed dunno.

[protocol_]

I don't know when it started, Arnk. Yesterday I was trying to attach to lancs on my team when I died and I couldn't because they did not have summoner.

[Emit]

Main Problem:

Lancasters can no longer attach to another Lancaster without summon.

 

Not much of a problem:

Lag causes people to attach to summon Lancaster that just died and attached back again to drain their energy as if they were attaching to the Lancaster in safe

 

No flags. I just noticed about 1 every 10-15 attaches or so...

 

Probably when you attached your ship remained in safezone and when you dettached it drained all your energy.

Arnk, since day 1 that you implemented the new summoner settings, lancs couldnt attach to non summon lancs

[Gannon8]

So really... Why no summon in minibase? Just remove it if we can't use it properly. It spoils the whole point of is

They are nurfing pretty much all aspects of the mini and there is talk/rumors of it being removed from center. The perfect way to help nurf the mini is to disabling summoner while in it. I love it when people think that an item needs to be removed because a player can't use them in TWO areas of the map. With this mind set you might as well remove thors because I cant properly use it when they hit the "no item tiles" around the flag rooms... a little ridiculous?

He means that instead of nerfing the mini, just remove it.
