Death by No-Tele Outside of Vault

Post by Unmouseable »

So i just had an incredibly frustrating and completely avoidable death. I went to fight Morgoth, went downstairs into a decent sized room and saw Morgoth was just a few squares away, so i started the fight.

Things were going great i still had 60+ *Healing* potions over 20 life potions and curing potions and 30 teleport scrolls. Absolutely not worried about the fight at all.

So i get him down to half health and he summons a bunch, go to teleport but its not working.

I guess that i'm in a no tele zone but there are zero indicators to let me know that, level still has white numbers on it, not grey. No Vault is near me, 4 squares north there is a minor vault. 7 squares east is a minor vault, 7 squares south there is a minor vault.

I was on the stairs in a room, i created screenshots with the screenshot maker on the main site. Sorry i doubled up on one and could not delete it.
The second shot was taken by my other character after death, i came down the stairs just northwest of the robe.

The first screenshot still shows the white level feeling, not grey for no-tele.

I eventually used up all my pots and died.

Please look into this, so it does not happen again. Having No-teleport Vaults is fine but, this was not in any way a vault.

Or if there are going to be random no-teleport rooms, please change the warning to a loud beeping noise or something.

Spending all that time to get forms, gear etc. and having it all end like it did, is just really not fun or fair in the least.

I would like to clarify one last time, that this was in no way, shape or form a vault. It was a regular rectangle shaped room, no monsters or traps near me.

Sad for your loss.

AFAIS from screenshots - its not several minor vaults, but one big 'broken-in-half' vault; you could meet such partly destroyed vaults sometimes when they disrupted by lava/water & etc

Considering alarm for no-tele vault, I've already suggested such idea cause it's really hard to notice such things sometimes.

I just want to thank you all soon much, for looking into this and letting me have another chance at killing Morgoth.

I went to Mount Doom and killed Sauron again (he did not manage a summon) I then went down to level 100 and,

The Lord of Darkness is no more!. He managed to get one round of summons off I teleported once and finished him off 😀

Thanks again I finally kinged my True Believer!!!!!

What "teleport" means did you use? If it was a device, unless it has been fixed, they don't respond when you are in melee range. If it was a spell, I noticed that you were "stunned" (probably from morgy quake), so this raises the %fail. If it was a scroll, then it's clearly a bug.

Sorry for the late reply, i only ever use teleport scrolls for fights, spells/staves are just for convenience when outside of combat :)

It turns out it was a rare bug, that had not really came up due to the way it occurred.

C_Blue explained ingame that Morgoth's earthquake shifted me over from the regular map into the no-teleport zone.

If i understand it correctly, the game did not trigger the normal states of being in a no-teleport area ie. greyed out visual indicators, or music turning off because it did not register me moving.

Since they decided it was a bug, i was allowed to fight and managed to kill Morgoth in the end.

Thanks for the replies though.
