Questions about the shard - Grymlot - 05-04-2012

I'm thinking of trying out the shard, but a few simple questions first. I couldn't find the answers to these elsewhere on the site. I played a little on one of the Imagine Nation versions past, and also on Deus Ovis 2 if anyone played there. I am unsure what versions of Sphere were being used though.

1. Can you cast spells while moving?

2. Does getting damaged fizzle you if you are currently casting? (magic arrow, weapon hits, poison ticks?)

3. Does anyone have a chance without magery? In other words, are warriors or archers able to best a mage, or is a hybrid of magery skill required?

4. Is anyone on between 6pm and 10pm central time (GMT-6, USA)? or is it just afk macroers?

5. Is there a trammel and fellucca, or just one world?

6. Do scrolls do anything different than casting with regs, such as more damage? (I think IN:Xtreme had this?)

Thanks!

yes you can cast while moving, and yes they just changed the pvp to start created fizzles when damaged. Third as far as i know you must have some magery skill to have a chance in battle or be excelled with using explosion pots. Fourth i am in the central time zone and usually quite a few players on. The excact details for scrolls vs casting are on the forums as well.

1. Can you cast spells while moving?
Yes, though it does unequip the stuff you have in your hands. There's no pre-casting either.

2. Does getting damaged fizzle you if you are currently casting? (magic arrow, weapon hits, poison ticks?)
In some events. Right now there's a Fizzle PVP area, but most world PVP doesn't unless it has been changed. I haven't kept up with the PVP changes we've been making since I don't PVP.

3. Does anyone have a chance without magery? In other words, are warriors or archers able to best a mage, or is a hybrid of magery skill required?
Nope, everyone can GM all skills, so it would be nearly impossible to ignore magery and fight unless you maybe did it in big groups.

4. Is anyone on between 6pm and 10pm central time (GMT-6, USA)? or is it just afk macroers?
I dunno.

5. Is there a trammel and fellucca, or just one world?
All one world (Felucca), though Trammel exists and a few events occur there to make it look like they're occurring in the normal world.

6. Do scrolls do anything different than casting with regs, such as more damage? (I think IN:Xtreme had this?)
Yep, they have varying damage, heal effects, mana consumption and speed. I'm not sure about the exact numbers on them though.

1. Can you cast spells while moving?

Yes, spells do not freeze the caster. Also spells do not precast (cursor first, duration after).

Quote:2. Does getting damaged fizzle you if you are currently casting? (magic arrow, weapon hits, poison ticks?)

The only spell which can be fizzled through damage during cast is Recall. All spells can still be fizzled by breaking line of sight at the moment of casting or by tabbing in/out of war mode.

Quote:3. Does anyone have a chance without magery? In other words, are warriors or archers able to best a mage, or is a hybrid of magery skill required?

The latest PvP changes make it so that at high Dex (above 100) weapon swing rate is increased and the effectiveness of bandages are also improved. However, Magery is still extremely important and a pure warrior would certainly be at a significant disadvantage. It is hoped that the new changes might allow people to learn towards more use of weapons and bandages and less use of magic but less use doesn't mean no use.

Quote:4. Is anyone on between 6pm and 10pm central time (GMT-6, USA)? or is it just afk macroers?

I believe there biggest demographic on the server are people from America so there should be plenty of people online at these times. No personal experience of it though since I'm in Euro timezone.

Quote:5. Is there a trammel and fellucca, or just one world?

Just Felucca except for some events.

Quote:6. Do scrolls do anything different than casting with regs, such as more damage? (I think IN:Xtreme had this?)

All scrolls cast as if the spell in question is 2 circles lower (in terms of success chance), in general most scrolls cast about 1.75 times faster and for 1/1.75 the amount of mana. However, there are a lot of exceptions to the rule. If you check my PvP guide on the general forum it includes a lot of information about various scrolls.

Feel free to post again or ask some of the players on the public/website chat and I'm sure they'll be happy to help.
