Greetings Ziyyigo-Tipyigo!

Thank you for entering all the detail for us. In order to forward your concern could you give us a bit more information on what happened? Were you under any buffs? Any battle or party information would be helpful. Thanks!

It's called hyper-sleep or nightmare sleep. It's just a property of their TP move in Dynamis now. Mandragora in Buburimu have an enhanced dream flower with the same property.

The real thing to report about the Nightmare Flytraps is that their Slow TP move (Gleosuccus) doesn't show up in the chat log.

Personally, I was under Reraise, Protect V, Shell IV, Phalanx, Enlight, Haste and eventually Barsleep for laughs. Sisqi had Pro5, Shel4, Haste, and probably Haste Samba, and also took a few hits to wake up.

Cures seemed to wake us up as normal.

I thought at first that it was some sort of Dynamis-only status ailment, but I noted in the log that the move was just "Soporific," just like flytraps outside of Dynamis. I figured that, if it's supposed to be some new ailment, it'd be a new name on the move, something like "Damnation Dive" versus "Helldive."

Either way, I figured I'd file a bug report and let them figure out whether it's "working as intended."

Greetings, Ziyyigo-Tipyigo!
Upon review of several community sites regarding the "Soporific" attacks for the Nightmare Flytraps, it seems that I was able to find a solution to the situation. Unfortunately, GM's are not allowed to provide any gameplay information to players. However, I do highly recommend consulting the community sites that are linked to www.PlayOnline.com under "Community">"Community Sites" for further information about the effects of this variation of "Sleep." Thanks again for your participation!
