Strange horror behaviour (likely bug)

Arralen · #1 November 5th, 2006, 09:33 AM

Now it ate my Frogzard-prophet ... .
He was 4th in the HoF, although he had the most kills (7).
He was cursed (witch event), but not horror-marked.

This sucks .. losing a 350gold mage on turn 8 !!

This was the funniest bug in a long time

And it is a bug, no horrors should appear unless you are horror marked or some mighty blood spell is in effect.

I also got attacked by RAWRku, but since I was testing out one of Amos' mods I thought that the creature that was attacked was powerful enough to draw to horror's attention anyway.

Yeah, while this is indeed quite funny, it's also the kind of bug that can hose a MP game right quick, when is it going to be fixed?

Yea most of the MP games have patched already, when the turns start coming in with dead heros...well the screams will be loud...

Hunter of Heroes... The name sort of suggests he goes around murdering heroes. Seems like a special form of horror, that only needs a gold star as his beacon. If turning off the Hall of Fame stops heroic abilities, I'd say it would most likely work. I've never tried messing with the Hall of Fame, so I wouldn't know for sure.

Yeah. Not that "amusing" to see the developers describing it as simply one of the most amusing bugs they've seen, when it can totally [censored] up an MP game.

Then again, the army movement spells not working can [censored] up any game, and they didn't see fit to fix that in the patch. Nor the unbalanced pretenders.

If I were only a player, I'd be less disgruntled. As a programmer/developer, I'm starting to be unhappy for the horrible example it sets. (Especially for a game that set pre-order sales records.)

Any ETA on hotfix yet from devs? (or at least confirmation that hotfix is coming)

Can it be avoided? I'm thinking of disabling Hall of Fame. Would that work?
