Disguise & Messengers

Post by perseid »

It's hard to do the standard template for this one because I haven't figured out how to pin down when it happens consistently. But I've noticed that when I'm in a disguise it's really hit or miss if messengers, especially ability messengers like illusion messengers, will be able to find my disguise. I've had people on the same server but in different zones try to send illusions/speedies which fail. But then other times they'll send me a speedy which will work. I'm not sure if this matters but the few times I've seen it work were times the sender was in the same zone as my character. If there's any formal tests I could run to submit let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Do you have any special characters in your name? Does anyone else share the same first few letters of your name? Are they sending -project as a tell, or using your name to target?

No, not to my knowledge but I'll have to watch for this next time it fails, and name to target rather than tell.

Oh, I forgot, were you stealthed?

The story grows stranger. A parrot chalice messenger failed to locate my character while I was undisguised after previously being disguised but a goblin messenger was able to complete w/ out any server hopping or other adjustments.
