Minogon Factory: Ballistae Bridge

Post by BattleDrake » Thu Mar 30, 2023 1:39 am

Only posting this because my original bug report six years ago was closed and might not be read even though I added a new post.

The ballistae shoot you even after disabling them. Open the door, turn the ballistae away, unload them. Doesn't matter what you do, they shoot everyone crossing the bridge.

Please fix this.

When you open the door to the ballistae, it says "When you use the panel a text appears on it: 'Ballista security system: de-activated'."

Except it's not de-activated. The ballistae still auto shoot everyone that crosses the bridge.
It shoots me when I stand in front of them.
You can't break them.

I've never minded too much, because I just solo through. But whenever I try and bring other people, they're always dying trying to cross, and I've never once seen anybody disable them.

Also, while retesting this just to get the message to copy, the door auto closed and locked. There's no way out when that happens if you go into the dungeon alone.

If the magic field is up, you can't lense.

Might be good to have a second panel on the inside of that door to let you out xD

I've encountered this recently also.

Even when the Ballista is deactived via the panel, it continues to fire and sometimes outside of it's LoS

I'm the nice one.. I promise :twisted:

In truth, while the dungeon is absolutely genius - it truly is - It, like a lot of the server, needs to be updated to modern design standards, lock stock and barrel.

You say this, but being MILDLY MEAN to people is treated like a war crime on Arelith.
