teleport death????

The illusion stone teleports you to the room of the Secret Passage first, and there is a nearby mob that has enough time to attack you at that moment. For chars with low HP, it can be deadly, so I used some strong HP pots with healing over time effect before teleporting, or Dreamchaser pills, or asked for a barb buff...b:beg

Ty for the replies. I guess this is just another thing PWI goofed up on.

Not a goof, Illusion Stone always teleports you to the instance entrance first, then inside. BH29 just happens to be one of ones you're almost always guaranteed to be attacked.

if you did die to those mobs tho it might be a good time to add a couple of shards to your gear if it isnt current lvl yet to increase surviveability

As people above stated. And anyway the stone to tp inside dungeons is just here to help you entering faster. You can still go in the dungeon like we did before, by going to SP then kill the mobs on your way to the entrance.

59 has a walker archer or a pryo or two outside it as well

Oh, yeah, 79 too. Forgot about him, but he's so weak he's never hurt me. You'd have to have some pretty poor gear to have him kill you. He's solo-able at-level by just about every class.

I have been playing since 2010 and have never died before teleporting into bh29.

Neither have I... but that doesn't stop it from being something that's happened since the game's inception because of how the illusion stone works.

Yep for 79 the archer is inside so this is a different story. And I think I've never been hit by the boss next to the entrance while using the tp.

I have. For a BM on a computer that loads slowly, it's not good news... Smythe isn't always in aggro range though. The archer inside is similar to the poison mob in FB69 at the start, which also auto aggros when it wanders too close after a minute.

The issue on BH29 is that the sequence is as follows when porting:
- You select the quest on the illusion stone
- Server switches you to the new area and location and tells your client to load that area and the surroundings
- Server plants your character in the air in the Secret Passage. Your own computer is still loading the area and the surroundings. The nearby mobs immediately aggro on you and start shooting
- Your client finishes loading and notices you're under attack. So the first sight you're treated to is you being half, or fully, dead. If you're still alive you'll immediately trigger the port into FB29.

If you die from the mobs while your computer is still loading the area, you shouldn't use the illusion stone for that instance. Your computer can't handle the port properly then. The loading speed issue is usually related to your hard drive - people who have the game on a solid state drive will never experience this problem.
