/hide_illusion is restricted to use only while out of combat???

[Tuppen]

<DIV>I am sorry, I don't play on test, but I am curious about this upcoming change.   Not enough disk space left to re-install the test server separately and test it myself....so...I hope someone can clarify this for me.   </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Does this mean that anyone who has /hide_illusion turned on will revert to their illusory form (wolf for warden, lion for fury, etc) when they enter combat--and will have to wait 1 minute to be able to hide the illusion again?  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If so...why?  I hate seeing my character in any illusion form.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I am hopeful that I am misinterpreting this change.   Any information regarding how this is working would be most appreciated.</DIV>

would be appreciated if someone could explain this yes . I hate Illusions myself and i dont see a reason why it should be restricted

[Fringe]

Sounds to me like you just won't be able to cast it during combat. If it's already cast when entering combat then it should remain active.

<DIV>The 1minute reuse is wierd too. Why would there be a reuse on a ingame command? /hide_illusion is great for druids so they dont need to fight constantly with their selves always in animal form.</DIV>

When you hide your illusion (or unhide it) it may take a little bit of time for a client to load all the necissary textures. I imagine some people were doing this repeatedly to try to gain advantage in PVP by slowing down opponents clients and making it difficult to target. There were probably PVE users abusing this feature to lag people out who were camping a contested name they wanted.I am pretty sure all this means is the /hide command can only be used once a minute, and not in combat. So if you never use this ability you will see no difference at all.<div></div>

So it is another PVP change that will bother PVE players ?

Thats actually a pvp only thing.  It doesnt come into play on pve servers.<div></div>

<DIV>correct it is a pvp change affecting pve. Hide illusion was basically a way for pvp to clear opponents target. this change probably still hides illusions in combat, but wont allow you to use the hide illision command while in combat.</DIV>

Thanks for the reply!   This makes me happy.  :smileyhappy:

Thanks in advance

<div></div>Even if it did hit pve because of pvp who would care that they can't change shape MID-COMBAT?  I mean, who even tries?  I clicked hide illusion on my toons at creation and never looked at it again.  I can't see how "losing" the ability to do this more than once a minute would effect a pve player at all.<div></div><p>Message Edited by pinkdove80 on <span class=date_text>01-23-2007</span> <span class=time_text>09:57 AM</span>

I don't see how this can accomplish anything else.</div>

Having played endgame PvP on both, and currently being in a strong PvP guild on Venekor, I would have to say you demonstrate very little knoweldge of your subject. And as far as "unwanted and unnecessary," I thinnk the denizens of Venekor, Nagafen, et al would disagree with you.And gank you repeatedly if you ever visited us, of course. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Carnifax, 70 Warlock of Bel Vaka, Venekor

Whew! had me worried there too. I use hide iilusion too, on my druids, becuase their furry rears blocked the veiw, lol. I know pull the veiw back, but it made every thing so tiny in relation to their size. Besides, using the treant form, gets mistakened for the other treants in the area, if you're standing still, and the player(s) is not reading the name. Also, a treant with SOW on, lol.<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Finally, the treant illusion is very ugly too.<img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> The fury"s bug illusion, LOL!
