<DIV>Looks like they added speed reduction to Distorted Visions at lower levels.  It used to be that the App 1 & 2 versions of this spell had no debuff at all.  Today I noticed my App 2 Distorted Visions carries a  20% slowdown...  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Was nice while it lasted.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>EDIT 09/06/05------------------------------------------</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#66ff00>TheLout wrote:<BR>Btw the dictionary does exist:<BR>http://www.urbandictionary.com/<BR><BR>1. nerf<SPAN></SPAN><BR>To make worse or weaken, usually in the context of weakening something in order to balance out a game.<BR>Why the hell did Blizzard nerf Marines' attack damage?<BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And further from the website:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Nerf </DIV> <DIV>To weaken or make less dangerous.

You do know the difference between a fix and a nerf, right? <div></div>

<P>I suppose I forgot to consult the official dictionary for online game slang....  oh right, it doesn't exist.</P> <P>I guess it all depends on your perspective.  The ability to run at regular speed while invisible was a big plus.  It was also a tradeoff as upgrading to Adept I would make me invisible to higher level mobs.... </P> <P>Call it a fix or whatever you want pal,  this was one of the few bugs in the game that actually benefited the class...   and I'm sorry to see it go....  that better?</P>

< this was one of the few bugs in the game that actually benefited the class. > Oddly enough, they're called "exploits". I'd suggest you stop using the other ones (seeing as you seem to know more than one) and report them. <div></div>

<DIV>I was simply using the spell SOE gave me for the purpose it was intended:  Sneaking past mobs that would be KoS.  They messed it up and I'm to blame? Or maybe I should avoid using a vital spell because it's currently an 'exploit'.  But thanks for the suggestions. </DIV>

<font color="#ffffff">< Implying that DV, as an exploit should not be used. > Ah, I see the problem: thinking is not your strong point. Lemme break it down for you, chimp. App1 and App2 did not have Slowdown. App3 and up did. App1 and App2 were bugged. Choosing to not <b>upgrade </b>your spells, to gain the benefit of the bug, is (in the purest sense of the phrase) <b>exploiting a bug</b>. Use whatever you like. But once you became aware of an upgrade option (which was undoubtedly dirt cheap), and you <b>refused the upgrade on the basis that you preferred to use the bugged spell</b> you were exploiting. Now, if you choose to be an idiot, this is where you respond with "But what if someone couldn't afford....." or "But what if someone didn't know" etc.  Once you know, you buy the upgrade. An App3 or App4 of the spell would cost you virtually nothing. Hope the bold type helped it sink in. </font><div></div>

If they are non-existant then it means that the sages on your server are doing their jobs right, and only trying to sell App4s. I am on Oggok, a low-population server. I sell App4 Tier 4 spells for 1g each. Given that you are pulling in loot worth 50s and up at that level, 1g is dirt cheap. Alternatively, go make a Sage. It'll cost roughly 40s to make the spell, not counting purchasing Raws. </font></font></font><div></div>

< <font color="#339900">You see, a post is comprised of many different sentences. I know it's hard to keep up, but you're really smart, and I'm sure you'll get it.  <font color="#ffffff">> If you choose to respond to a specific line, you don't have the luxury of claiming to be responding to the post as a whole. Sorry chimp, it doesn't work that way. If you had quoted the breakdown as a whole, and claimed I was putting words in your mouth, you would have had a reasonable point. But: you didn't, and you don't. And yes, I <b>am</b> being pejorative. Well spotted, chimp. As a rule I have don't reserve civility for people who bemoan an exploit being 'nerfed'.... < </font></font><font color="#339900">I've honestly never seen a DV app4 for sale, and I check the broker often. <font color="#ffffff">> Try typing /who all lfw and send a tell to one of the Sages to make the spell. Oggok is a low population server, and there's usually a Sage /lfw on most times (usually it's me). < </font></font><font color="#ffffff"><font color="#339900"><font color="#ffffff"><font color="#339900">But since we're on different servers, all that information is pretty much useless. <font color="#ffffff">> On the contrary, it gives you an idea of what price some Sages are prepared to charge for Tier 4 App4 spells. If you are on a higher population server (which is likely) then you should easily be able to get DV App4 for that price or less. </font></font></font></font></font><div></div>
