I'm flattered that this change made you so sad that you actually made an account just to post that.

Ok I know this isnt a OSI shard *thank god*

But are you serious? Nerfing? Those spells were "broken" imo. An AE spell should never avoid people in the AE radius.

This is how GMs on their chars play.

This is how GM on their chars don't play.

Convenient eh?

That one was thrown in at the end for a couple of reasons.

1. Some players are synchronizing throwing explotion potions at a player (usually a party member or guild mate) and timing it just right so that when the target recalls into town the potion follows them and instantly kills an innocent player.

2. Murderers could throw potions into moongate areas and run off screen over and over again.

3. With tonight's AOE change, murderers would cry about not being able to use potions in town. I don't really care if they whine, but this makes it a non-issue.

No other AOE spell is allowed in town (earthquake, meteor swarm, fields, etc), this makes things a bit more consistant.

If you want to town kill now you'll have to do it old-school; use newbie characters and scrolls or poison.

It's pointing out a pattern in the patch. Are we only allowed to praise changes?
