    Hello everyone,

    We'll be having a server maintenance tonight that will be just a restart, no new patch this week.

    We expect those who are still having login issues with Archosaur, to be able to login successfully post-maintenance tonight.

    Maintenance time estimation is the usual 11:00 PM PST - 2:00 AM PST.

    This week's maintenance question:

    How many people would it take in-game to kill a GM, and how far would it be able to reach on the map before it died starting at Archosaur West Gate?

    (Notes: GM cloak gives 10 million HP // God's Remedy is auto-on // GM not allowed to attack)

    IMPORTANT UPDATE:
    GM's can't be stunned



    We need more mystic and bm here so he wont move even inch...b:laughb:laugh

    Depending on that God's Remedy ability.. Prob a good 30-40 ppl focused on Immob and HF with some good sparking sins with Chill.. Ehh might take a bit longer then a WB. And I wouldn't know where the GM would die at. f:melon

    Put a few venos with Arcane Antinomy on it. Slow it down for 15 seconds at a time, to nothing but a crawl. Hp regen can be stopped with Soul Degeneration Sage to take away 20% of the fight if it is the first hit to land.

    . The rest is up to the other classes, but unless they purify the slow, that gm isn't going anywhere.

    Well if the GM flys then he could make it a literal trip around the world and not get hit. Those 15ms speed wings are beast.b:victory

    Well that highly depends on a few conditions:

    is the GM allowed to use his GM menu? (invisibility / invincibility / spawning 20 harpys to kill other players, ect.)
    is he allowed to ctrl+click on the map? (GM Teleport)
    is he allowed to fly? (GM Wings have +10 speed).
    which class is it as is he allowed to use skills? (Cleric with GM weapon and IH maybe heals like 3m HP per sec).
    Is he allowed to use any Pharmacy pots? (90% HP recovery and the like)
    Where exactly is he? (there are bosses / mobs that can be used to deal him a good percentage of damage... like the balls in advanced cube always do 30% damage. some bosses in FC do a AoE taking 40% of your HP ect.... 40% of 10m is 4m ;)

    To many unclear variables.

    If he's allowed to fly, use ctrl+click or GM Menu... he most likely will survive forever and will get anywhere he wants. If he's a cleric or mystic and allowed to use skills or pharma pots... similar.

    Even otherwise players will have to thing of something pretty good since god's remedy as far as I heard got 2 effects.... Speed = +15, AND vacuity powder effect all the time. so stun, para ect. won't work on them.

    I highly doubt that. Most 12 year olds online don't have a vocabulary outside of your mum jokes, calling someone ***, or calling them a ******.

    They'd also give everyone "prestige" seeing as they're so involved with COD for the most part. They'd turn it into a P-Server. Plain and simple.



    Which is probably where pservers came from. Someone with the same mindset as mentioned above thought why did they have to do all this work when it'd be so much easier to just get everything given to you from the start of the game.

    Pservers are genuine MMORPG laziness. Probably invented by a 12 year old.

    I think a 10 person squad of archers could handle it. 5 on BoA, 4 on Knockback + atk and one debuff +atk. If they all had -pdef and dmg amp on their genie it wouldn't take very long and I don't think the GM would get past the outskirts.
    Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

    Knockback doesn't work on other players, though. b:sad

    If stuns don't work but immobilize does..he'd at least b slowed down with a lot of sins/clerics/seekers or any other class that has an immobilize skill. f:laugh

    I say instead of guessing....just make it an event f:victoryf:cute. would be fun seeing how long it'd take to kill a gm. f:sneaky

    Oh can we use Chromatic seal on him and sleep him? That's technically not a stun. So if we had a bunch of BM's using Reel In and Clerics using Chromatic Seal on him he won't go to far. Therefore allowing the melee classes to beat the snot out of him. And Cleric's could also use Dimensional and Elemental Seal on him and make it faster. I would give him 5 minutes of getting the **** beat out of him in that instance. And wouldn't make it off the front gate of West. b:pleased

    u guys seem to forget that gm usually also got imba eva (unless this one is hp only o.o), so sins would be of no use there, only castersb:laugh

    also depends if the gm is charmed :o

    btw excuse me for asking, but what's god's remedy do? lol

    edit: forgot to add - in case the gm is charmed (cheat-charm with 100m hp restore? XD), would he be allowed to replace it?

    They did.
    (In almost every episode of the first five seasons of the television series South Park, character Kenny McCormick would die, prompting the exclamation, "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" by other characters. Kenny would then return in the next episode with essentially no explanation.)
