On several occassions I have noticed where when someone supposedly Reels, there is no
lag for them. Is the code bugged?

I didn't even know there were fish in the Silt Sea.  You learn something new every day.

What's that got to do with the price of fish?

I don't always act superior... but when I do it's on the forums of a text-based game

hahaha I meant when you hit someone hard and they reel.

In seriousness, I never noticed the "lag" from reeling, but after looking over some old logs, I think you're right...but I'm not sure what reeling is supposed to do to someone.

That is, if we're talking about "you reel from the blow" and not "you reel in a big silt-horror."

Was it npcs or pcs? A beetle reeled my last char, and I dizied, so I think it was working for me. :) But maybe NPC's are immune?

Npc's don't seem to suffer the same 'stuns' that PC's do, so jmordetsky brings up a very pertinent point.

If talking on the side of a PC...I haven't been sent 'reeling' too many times, but they always have resulted in delays for me.

I have been reeled and I did not notice the effect.

I have reeled some people and they fled like in one second, and this was a PC.

So maybe there is a bug.  Or maybe it is really too short.
some of my posts are serious stuff

While reel doesn't seem to last like it used to, and thank <insert diety> for that, I haven't noticed it not working.  I'll try watching closer, but I routinely reel stuff and haven't noticed NPCs using combat skills immediately following the rounds where I reel them.

Depending on various factors, I wouldn't expect reel to last longer than a second or two though.

I once got reeled by an NPC and typed 'flee', and fled instantly. Less than a second after reeling.

Maybe reeling is only supposed to stop you from attacking?
March 23, 2007, 03:32:33 PM #11
Personally, I prefer this to the murderous reel fests that I saw when it first went in. :)

Reel does not stop you from attacking.  It was easier to tell this when it first went in.

I've almost died from reel on several occasions.

Reel comes in different flavors. They're not the same length.

Try entering kill lag vs a large beast, getting bashed by them, then taking a 70damage shot that reels in quick succession. You can go get a soda before you move again.

Reel:  a tool for teaching gracious generousity.  Sooo much better to give than to receive.

You don't believe I'm real,
But you cannot buy protection

It's most likely because there's invisible checks made depending on the power of the hit, and resistance to stun and other factors that determines the delay.

Because hitting for 70 damage just isn't enough.
<Morgenes> Dunno if it's ever been advertised, but we use Runequest as a lot of our inspiration, and that will be continued in Arm 2

Also along those lines: getting bashed and then rescued before you can stand produces an amazing delay. Like, "Gee, I hope my buddies are all stronger than me," long.

I probably should've added "If you move again."
