Nox Mages and Death Cam Suggestions

[uruguayan sayan]

Hi!

1.) I recently switched my dexxer alch poison to a nox alchy mage and find it a lot weaker. I'm making a serious suggestion to change the spell Cure to behave exactly as a greater cure potion, with an 80% chance of curing deadly poison.

2.) The death cam: Add a 10-15 minute delay to the feed, if not greater, because of its usefulness to PKs and other people, like those ruining surprise champ spawns or other things which require subterfugue.

Thanks!

I like your suggestions.

Though I think the 80% chance should only be for casted poison.. not for dp dexers poison. Curing poison from a dexer should not be harder.

Curing poison from a dexer should not be harder.

lol?

Yea I always thought death cam was a bad idea. Although a longer delay would make the death cam better suited against its abuse, people would take much less interest in a death cam that's delayed. I don't watch the stream anymore because its kind of boring but death cam can be abused pretty harshly. Every time someone dies you can just recall to their corpse and loot it is just another simple example.

I had suggested in the initial twitch release thread to allow players to control the camera with an ingame command for periods of time with long cooldowns. Strengthens the community, doesn't cause any unnatural/undesired effects for that player and could provide a gold sink. People will also be willing to watch something like this I would think. It was kind of lost in a sea of spam.

Definitely need a delay on the cam. It's "the free gold stream" for me right now. I watch a lot of Twitch streams and occasionally will throw the DeathCam on for a minute or two. I've already seen a couple times someone farming in a place I know, popped in grabbed 8-9k gold off the body and then recalled out.

If I actually put 30mins of effort in and marked a ton more runes I could simply farm this stream instead of mobs.

Only managed to do it like twice when I noticed it happen near lich spawns I have marked.

i don't know...i mean it is a casted cure which itself takes time so that sort of justifies the extra success chance but i guess that would be more consistent with greater cure if it was 80% success rate. hmm...

any changes to the noxmage will ultimately just consume time without getting u guys a proper advantage as all of you only solo and never group anyways.

Actually I do group. My guildmate also switched to nox mage, but with stun-punch instead of alchemy, like I did. I solo, too, but either way, I don't see how your post is relevant? Saying that with respect since you're reputedly a good PvPer.

I'm only saying that the nox mage changes really didn't make any improvement on nox mages apart from making them a tiny, tiny bit better against Dexxers, since they can fail cure one out of five times. Making the cure spell equivalent to the greater cure potion will make nox mages just a tiny bit better against all characters, without an imbalance (presuming) against stun heal mages, stun alchemist mages, etc.

I could just switch that same character back to what it was: Dexxer poison alchy, which was pretty powerful, even if a bit less powerful now. I'm just trying to find a reason to stick to this template. So far, there is none.

I agree with Deathcam delay. Ask JuJuHunter about this. he pk'd one of my guildmates in fire and we saw it on Death cam. We recalled in, Killed him and instastat. If it was not for the guild cam we wouldn't have been tipped off so quickly.
