Airakose Report post Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Yes, the Ants will make essences, but their logic sometimes works against essences being made (i.e. they get distracted harvesting food instead of going and finding the essence ingredients). Haha! A.D.D. ants! Now just set them to chase shiny things and cats! J/k But I think this would be cool I've stalked an ant on peace day trying to get it to attack me in PK while the PKers can't touch me, and it attacks everything but me It would make PK maps less attractive on peace day, which isn't really a good or bad thing. Keeps the PK exploration fun I think Also, maybe you could make some RP ants with this system? Really aggressive ant warriors/archers, or healing/smiteful magicians? (If you ever fix their spell system) Just something to add to the EL story? (What little there is in-game ^^') This could bring an interest to PK, or completely dull it depending on how strong their urges are to fight enemies. They may end up constantly chasing one PK'er and ignoring everyone else. Other wise I love the idea ^^ -Air Edited October 13, 2008 by Airakose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Learner Report post Posted October 14, 2008 Who ever gave one a Brod deserves a round of applause! Thanks, I bought that for her with my own GC. It lasted more then two days, not sure which Ant got the BoD. Of course they are very willing to accept donations of items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I start enabling Ant PK's, initial tsting will be done there. not sure if you saw these pic's they keep getting stuck at the ant hill @ dp http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a284/yas...elscreen051.png http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a284/yas...elscreen054.png also at this house in dp http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a284/yas...elscreen332.png they get stuck pretty often. Dont know how they can get in there without using magic. (i have gotten in there place couple of times by magic ). http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a284/yas...elscreen281.png http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a284/yas...elscreen335.png you should teach them how to #beam me (if they r unable to move for ~5 min or so) & magic (so they can harm/poisen/ b4 they die or restore + beam) & some free perks like mirror/mm (without having them losing pp's ) on pk server they die a lot...as soon as they get out of hell they get killed again, and some player even kill them on peace day some ppl have donated some armor to them...but since they die a lot from players/monsters/animals and they dont get their db back.

Kalix Report post Posted October 14, 2008 Ants seem to like to drop stuff a lot... if we gave the ants stuff would they just drop it in a bag somewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted October 14, 2008 Ants seem to like to drop stuff a lot... if we gave the ants stuff would they just drop it in a bag somewhere? Armor & weapons they tend to prefer to pass amongst themselves first. Other 'high importance' items they only drop some of in the hopes that another Ant visiting the anthill will be able to pick them up to use them before they poof. Of course that last bit of logic is getting broken by al lthe people serping ants currently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkenedAuras Report post Posted October 15, 2008 I have a question...I wondered if this ants attacking was already in the game because about 6 days or so ago I was walking from DP to VotD (through KF) not bothering anyone and I passed by Ant_Queen and she attacked and killed me I didn't attack her or any other ant I was just passing through...

As I said, currently there are rare situations that can trigger (usually related to being near an Ant when it's fighting). What this discussions about is whether they should actively be willing to attack people they see in PK if they don't like them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What this discussions about is whether they should actively be willing to attack people they see in PK if they don't like them. but that's the thing she wasn't attacking anything (and actually to be honest there were no monsters in the vicinity at the time.) She was just walking out of the fort and I was passing by it (I wasn't in it...I was maybe a foot or so away from the entrance) [<---in case someone thinks she was protecting her "home"] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
