>>I arrived back in Solhaven, North market with my animate to see a corpse in town. My shaper saw it too, immediately made it into a lurk. That lurk immediately killed someone sleeping. That second dead person immediately became a lurk. Things could have gotten out of hand really quickly if not for me quickly telling my animate to die and removing the lurks.

Pandemic..solhaven version.

That is pretty awesome (not for the sleeper but).

I hope they keep this feature. It has potential for some fun RP. "I'm an evil sorcerer who can raise an army of undead ... Oh, no, they've turned on me!"

Like meteor swarm, you'd have to choose a remote region and warn everyone. But it seems kind of cool! Reminds me of how moulis can explode out of people.

I'll be working on the unintended interaction with Animate.

The sentinels' Disarm is also going the way of the dodo. I have never had a problem with Disarm as a player and saw it as upping the ante, but I empathize.

As for the three minute delay on one's first trip to the Sanctum, that's not going to change.

I'm gratified by the people who enjoy the Sanctum. For those who don't, it's just another option among a variety of post-cap choices.

Just want to say that I really enjoyed my experience in the Sanctum last night. I thought the environment was neat and the creatures were fun. It was challenging without being too frustrating and I really enjoyed that.

One thing that did frustrate me was the Sea of Fire itself. The roundtime and health loss itself wasn't bad, it was just the sheer randomness of travel. I think I'd be okay with the ill effects, knowing that north would eventually get me to the Sanctum, south would eventually get me to the Oasis, after a random amount of travel. But the fact that it's directionally-random and I ended up back at the Sanctum 4 times when I was trying to leave....that was a little frustrating. Now that I've read the boards and know I can set a ring I'll probably be doing that.

High five on the gems, too, they're neat.

I've never really had an issue with disarm as a player either, but I see where others are coming from. I can't say I view it as a bad thing that it's being removed from the sentinels' repertoire.

All in all, really great job with this place and I'm happy to have another capped hunting area in the "main western part" of the game, closer than Teras and the Rift.

"Unintended interaction with Animate" is such a wonderful euphemism for "Initiating Elanthia's equivalent of World War Z."

Loving everything about the Sea of Fire, by the way, aside from that pesky disarm. I'll be glad to throw away my E-bladed toothpicks and bring out my good staff instead!

I too wish to thank you for removing disarm. Have you already removed it? If not, will you announce when you have?

Likewise. Big kudos for listening to the feedback and making those adjustments.

I just want to say, aside from the disarming(which, YAY thank you for listening and can't wait to use my good stick), I'm loving every. little. thing. about this place. It has been a blast mapping, exploring and poking around the desert rest stops(future area expansions?!) and the SoS itself. So many neat things to look at. I think the creatures and area effects are just challenging enough and so well thought out. And the gems are just gorgeous!

Being lurkified is such a cool mechanic to experience, I didn't even mind dying heh. I just wish I could SEE what was going on whilst my lurkish self terrorized those around me.

The periapt is a wonderful, helpful touch too(ew.). Make it hidden in inventory a la confluence soulstones, pretty pleeeease?

I'm enjoying helping people get around too, so if anyone needs any assistance, just ask Satia if she's around. I do understand and agree that flavor-wise, one should not be able to gate/ring/fog into the SoS itself, and I'm ever grateful that we're able to gate between the rest stops in the desert. I do however feel that we should be able to fog or gate out of the desert maze.

I noticed that the 130 anchor room in the oasis still gives wind effects as of earlier today, and I have yet to find an actual node of any kind anywhere in the area, though there are a few "safe" rooms. I hope we can figure out a good spot to rest/heal/raise soon.

What else, what else.. Oh! I noticed the door to the Oculus room was closed earlier today.. Intended? And speaking of doors.. I am sooo curious what is behind that -other- closed door.

Requests from some friends- A node at the oasis with a trash can and a teeny tiny tiki bar for 1020 please!

That's all I have, besides a giant heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped create, test, tweak, and release my new favorite hunting ground. Thank you!
