Casting Sneak / Invisible Outside of Party?

[Zerich]

not trying to defend SE and all, but there could potentially be instances where someone is trying to do something in competition with other groups (liike pop a chest, force pop an NM) that requires invis to be down in the current design scheme and they have not put up /blockaid yet (for whatever reason). A group could have some mages spam invis on them to prevent them from trading/clicking the marker/chest and effectively "steal" the opportunity from them.

I know, slim to no chance of it happening.....but if the exploit is there, SOMEONE is going to be a douche and abuse it eventually. So, if they were to implement a change from party only to anyone for these spells, they would need to first fix the issue with not being able to trade/open things while invisible first--which, honestly I think would be a more important tweak, as there are items that can be crafted/purchased/traded by the players to apply sneak/invisible.

again, /blockaid on remedies this.

they could also spam buffs and cures

Exactly. Any spell cast on them would event skip them and thus preventing them from most interactions with npcs/chest/???/whatever.

On this note - SE could you for the love of god fix how both campaign npcs and monsters can event skip you while in the allied tags npc menu??? Since I now do a lot of campaign for voiddust (and by the looks of it, I'm far from the only one doing this), this has become a nuisance (again) and much more of a nuisance than other players casting unwanted spells on me has ever been.

If you design your game around griefers then it's bound to be really shallow. Also, /blockaid.

Are you serious?

i fear they are dead serious

but that auto recovers--you can just spam your macro or whatever. If you are invised, you have to tab up to the icon and remove invis, requiring an extra step. So, invis is more intrusive than Event Skipped or cure spell lock.

I've never seen such a fail response by the developers. Do they even play their own game?

[Sarick]

On a side not why can't these spells overwrite weaker versions?

We don't have /cancel so if the spell is up it has no effect.

/blockaid on
/blockaid off

what more needs to be said? do we harass people with Haste nowadays too?

For example, when players have to be visible to interact with something (like a door), someone can cast invisible on them to grief them repeatedly.

While we're on the topic, why can't we interact with stuff while we're invisible? That would be the biggest point of griefing caused by out-of-party buffs anwyays- the fact that people could prevent other people from interacting with NPCs and points of interest.

Castle Zvahl Keep.

Parts of the game were designed around that particular mechanic, putting doors in places to make you vulnerable to aggro.
