Game Deleted Rare Reagents!!

Warning- I'm about to vent harder than an Impostor who doesn't know how to play the game.

Just now I was teleporting through Corkus on my way to start the new Feather's Fly quest, when I tried porting myself up a small ledge by a waterfall. I had used this route countless times while lootrunning, so I tried to teleport up it.. And got stuck in a block. I of course couldn't poof my way out of it, and seeing how I only had Detlas scrolls (Scrolls are extremely expensive, OK?) on me, I decided to do as the rules suggest and used /kill. I had all of my Soul Points, so I wasn't worried-



What.
You have got to be kidding me.
Unicorn Horns can fetch multiple LE on the Trade Market, and Purest Tears aren't cheap either!
"Oh well Azu, you should have stored them somewhere safer!"
No, inventory management/storage in this server is still a mess so don't put this on my unwillingness to waste an hour sorting through my bank while avoiding weird empty spots that crash my game when I mouse over them! I just want to play the game, but its bugs like that and experiences like these that really put off a veteran such as myself.

I should also note that I had two other reagents in my bag, one rare and one common. Don't know why the game thought it'd be funny to mess with me like this, but here we are! Ranting aside though, /kill really shouldn't carry the item loss penalty. We have access to this command so that we can escape block glitches, but I feel like I'm being punished for encountering one.. Like I'm being punished for simply playing the game.

 

You realise that storing items in your pouch means they can't be dropped, right? So all you had to do is put it in your pouch

 

"you should have stored them somewhere safer!"

wouldn't have been much effort moving it into the pouch

 

While the other two comments make good points I agree that /kill shouldn’t carry a penalty if you are out of combat

 

Yeah, the pouch.

 

1. Theres the ingredient pouch
2. Those are called ingredients not "reagents"
3. Detlas scrolls are 8 E
4. Don't call yourself a veteran when you don't know you lose ingredients on death
5. If you consider scrolls expensive then uh... you are kind of poor (and judging by your gear... I think that's pretty accurate)
6. Bank doesn't have any know bugs, if you are crashing for hovering over empty slot make a bug appeal

Other than that I agree that teleporting into blocks need to be fixed.

 

I don't think its really fixable, it just happens at certain times and its just unlucky.

 

Well veteran means they've played the game for a while and ingredients are somewhat new in the grand scheme of things

 

I agree that this should be changed. Technically, ingredient pouch not dropping ingredients upon death is a bug, and being able to drop stuff at max soul points is really dumb.

 

For everyone saying "Ingredient Pouch!" mine is always full. Like I said, inventory management is terrible in this game so my pouch is always full of commonly found ingredients that I want to keep (Stolen Goods, Golden Avia Feathers, Bob's Tears, etc). Regardless of this though, I still shouldn't be losing insanely rare and expensive ingredients to block bugs!!



@Shortsightedness

I will call myself a veteran since I have been playing Wynncraft for over 7 years now, and my assumption that I wouldn't lose anything on full soul points doesn't disqualify this. I also call ingredients in this game "reagents" at times because I've been playing Wizard101 for even longer.
I know that Detlas scrolls are cheap, but scrolls for areas like Corkus and Ahmsord aren't. I opted to use /kill instead of teleport back to Detlas to save me from the lengthy fast travel chain, since I'd just be put back in Corkus City. I know that I'm not the richest Player by any means, but I'd say my gear is pretty decent for somebody who plays casually.

Spoiler

 

scrolls can't be used inside blocks

can't exactly patronise ppl for calling ingredients reagents when you say that

 

I admit /kill shouldn't cause a penalty, and to avoid abuse there could be a "no moving timer" of like 3 or so seconds before it kills you.

 

to be fair, if you'd have checked the soulpoints they do say that you should lose like 20% of your ingredients even at full 15 sp, now whether of not that is right or not is not the point since it isn't a bug - you should have just checked, although i completely agree that you wouldn't have had much choice being stuck in a wall

You should have just used the scroll though and go through the fast travel system since ti really wouldn't have taken more than 2 minutes max. From detlas to nemract is nothing. Nexus to selchar - also no time at all and then on the wavebreaker and boom.

 

@Sunshine_Sammy
I had assumed that because I was using the /kill command at full Soul Points, I wouldn't lose anything. And believe me, had I known about the /class trick I would have tried that first! It's a bit ludicrous that we have to resort to such obscure measures to deal with these glitches though.
Also, teleport scrolls don't work inside of blocks. :-/


@AlexisPlay
That's a good idea! Hopefully someday we'll see it implemented.

 

Glitch abuse and could get you banned. I don't recommend using it

 

Yeah i do completely agree that something should certainly be added for the amount of times everyone gets stuck in some sort of block anywhere and didn't realise that the scrolls didn't work in blocks.

________________________________

Oh right, thanks for letting me know - are there any other ways of getting out of blocks without /kill ? To be honest, I genuinely thought that it wasn't a bug.

 

nope, there's no other way to get out of a block if you're stuck

 

could still be abused for fast travel!!!

 

I don’t exactly agree with this. /kill can still be used for fast travel is it is now, and it’s not like you’re gonna be using the command many times in row.

 

that is true, though this does increase the abusability, and I think a better solution would to just heavily lower the mat/ing drop rates

another thing is that with a 3s timer, Assassin can still easily abuse the feature by vanishing, which lasts for 5s
