Possible slave bug?

Post by DarkDreamer » Wed May 17, 2017 12:16 pm

I could be wrong, but I thought slaves of the UD don't get drow raid parties? I had one drop on me and kill my char in all of ten seconds...

this char is collared and owned in the UD.

Looks like you were disguised at the time? I'd wager the same script that hides the (slave) in the nametag also makes the drow parties hostile to you.

After all, they can't tell that you're a slave if you're disguised.

Maybe. though again that should be a technical bug too?

I've been told if your bluff/perform is high enough the disguised slave just holds up as disguised. Dunno for a fact though.

Yes, with high enough bluff/perform the (slave) tag is removed from a disguised slaves name, it's a feature since the new slavery system.

If this is true, this is a wonderful mechanic. It lets disguised slaves being used as spies be real deep cover, because its common knowledge the raiding parties don't attack slaves.

Slaves being able to disguise past their Slave tag has been in for... a long time, at least since I played V*czar like a year & close to a half ago. I remember he had an Elf sorcerer slave that did it sometimes.

Reviving this topic, because it's not just affecting disguised slaves. My completely undisguised slave got ambushed by a drow raiding party, which seems a bit silly for a slave owned by the drow.

Mechanically and gameplay wise that is lame.

But honestly that sounds like something Drow would do.
