10m disease

[gildhur]

Buying them now at Housing works. How many newer players would even think about going to housing and checking? Many may not even own a house.

When Turbine introduced this fun disease, these potions were not available at the healer in housing. I remember looking because I get a nice discount. Going Bah. I have to send Tant to buy a stack somewhere in Moria or Lothlorien put em in the housing chest.

I remember kin members going nuts because their screen was messed up from drinking. Others had gotten some sort of DOT that would not expire. Thank goodness Turbine created the clear on log out.

I love to see more of these effects. Keep the log out purge.

Or they could have just asked in /k, /advice, or a global channel, and someone could have told them what the deal was or even sent them a pot.

Or it could just be cureable with a lv 1 pot.

Your really asking a lot from low lv people.

Leave your area, spend 10 minutes running to a housing area, then run or map back.

[Toranoga]

Or people could be nice and use a salve to cure people they infect.

[Cerridwen]

Use protection next time.

What do you think this is, Fable II?

If you're in a group while in an above-level area, one would presume someone could give you the pot. Even if you are too poor to afford it.

If you aren't in a group and you're in an above-level area. . . aren't you sorta asking for trouble in the first place? So if you get the plague while being where you shouldn't, and you can't afford the cure, maybe that's just the appropriate result.

I've come to beleive Turbine has an entire department dedicated to "How can we annoy the players in game?"

LOL Honestly, they'll spend money on almost anything. "Fix bugs, nah.. let's annoy more people! That's the ticket!". "Okay,. wait, let's add the plague to the cloaked prowlers that wait around ore nodes. Then we can have it last for weeks, we don't need them in game, as long as they don't cancel! Lag solved sir!"

LOL

The way cough meister Tant wrecked havoc. I was in a high level area. I got sick. As a hunter, I can not cure myself. I did not have. Did not get potions.

I got a personal tell. Tant can you come help us? Yeah sure. I returned to Eriador to help out five little buddies with the Epic line. I got them all sick. We had to track down a friend that can cure disease to cure us all.

Lets cover one case in my kin. Someone got sick with this disease:

1) used /k - Idano. Nobody knew what she talking about. They had never encountered it.

2) used /advice - crickets

3) global channels - she like a lot of my friends. does not what a global channel is. Probably would not use it even if she did know how.

The folks like me that know more about the game. We are not bothered by this stuff. We find a way to correct it when it bugs us. I usually use Google. I hate asking people in game outside of my kin. A lot of them are jerks unless you are in the starter areas. Or they do not answer.

The folks that need help. They do not know where or how to get the information. They are screwed unless they got a friend like me online. That can either answer the question. Or alt tab and find the answer.

I can not speak for any other server. Meneldor has a lot of jerks. Typically I shut all the channels except kin down. I find myself getting building upset - building aggro reading what being written.

I was in the AH in Thorin's Hall not long ago with my Level 7 Guard/Mule when a guy ran up next to me and stopped. He had that cough. I got away from him in a hurry. I wouldn't call Thorin's Hall an above-level area.

If they made it so that a toon under Level 50 couldn't catch the disease--some kind or other of lowbie immunity--then I wouldn't have a problem with the disease not vanishing at logout.

My apologies. I hadn't considered that people could give it to others just by standing there, and could therefore "grief" others by just going to "lowbie" zones. I stand corrected.

The two most popular pastimes in game are:

Griefing and trash talking. Oh wait some call it role playing. I guess the role they are playing is **** hat. I feel bad for Turbine sometimes, they add things to the game only to have them misused and abused, by the Adult Infants we have infesting the game. (and they worry about FTP bringing in problems..ROFLMAO! They're really worried about someone else taking away their "fun").

[MysterX]

Heh... this is one of the reasons I carry disease salves instead of potions... just so I can cure sick people when I see them hacking up phlegm on the auction house floor.

[KuriosLOTR]

Eating Bree Cheese will cure the effect.

My alt RK won the Dad's Day lottery with the cheese. I think he was 48 at the time. I was able to easily heal through the entire effect of the cheese. Started as just see if I could, then I wondered what would happen at the end. Only thing I noticed is it cheats! After the effect has expired, you get several more morale hits.

Nope. This will only spread to nearby players if they are in your fellowship. When I was creating this effect everyone was paranoid that it would end up like that WoW disease which spread all over the place, so I put the fellowship restriction on it.

[gangsta77]

These are 24s pots, 24s is a lot of money for someone just starting out. Also they would need to know to go to the housing area to buy them, because normal vendors do not carry lv 65 pots.

Ahem.... 1g min is also alot starting out... seems cheaper to buy a 24s pot lol

[ararax2]

? That made no sense.

Vendors in low lv zones do not sell lv 65 pots.

You have to get them from a housing area.

At 24s.

You said it yourself, 1g min seems too much for starters too lol, 24 silvers seems better lol. Unless they have kin house!

Well, poop, sometimes it feels good to just admit I'm wrong and apologize for not thinking more clearly. And then you come along and ruin my moment of being reasonable and contrite.

[ararax2]

Let me explain.

You get disease in a low level zone.

You then must WALK to the nearest housing area you enter a housing area.

You then buy a 24s lv 65 disease potion FROM the housing healer.

Because no one else before Moria sells them.

You do not need to buy a house. >_<

Could we please have a "disease weekend" where you remove that restriction for a few days? Maybe tone it down so it can't really hurt anyone but just for the fun of it...

That would be funny. A flu epidemic!

As much fun as this would be I can see the posts a flying about people not having control over their toons. Remember the thread about people complaining about the class emotes(bow, dance, sneeze)?

[Halbart]

I love that disease!

I left it on for a few hours on afternoon after catching it in the Foundations.. You wouldn't believe how many @tells I got from people just giving me a heads up that I was diseased.
