Heh… if only… if only…
ALSO! I’ll be in at the Florida Super Con in Miami, FL July 1 - 4th 2011!! So come stop by if you get the chance. I think I’ll have a few new prints ready for it (fingers crossed).
Oh, and just an FYI, I have a little Q&A section set up over on What’s Shakin’, which has been a lot of fun so far, so if you have any questions for me, you can post them there! >D
Reminds me of the time I told my sister to jump out of the sewer while I slow falled us. The angles we jumped at were different enough that she got out of range too fast for me to reapply it. She went from Death Knight to dead. I laughed.
When I got bored in the queues, I would jump from the purple parlor to the fountain and try to land in it with careful removal and reapplication of slow fall. I call this sport of mine parachuting. I managed this a few times, but the best I ever did was landing on the big rock sticking out of the fountain.
I love parachuting with any particle effects: my purpetual purple firework, the shoe shine, and last summer with the midsummer fire berating brew.
good times
Btw: your latest what’s shakin thumbnail is NOT FOUND.
ha! well… serves her right for having a DK! she probably did the water walking thing in that trials raid when you all fall… which pretty much kills everyone.
remember when the mechanohog was immune to fall damage? well… I didn’t read the patch notes well enough and did the ol Thelma & Louise with my buddy… didn’t end well…
lol! nice!
heh… yeah… it’s something to do with the way comicpress does stuff… I figured it’d only look like that for a week and it’d be more trouble to find the error. hmm… guess I could have just manually put a pic in there… but… laziness… XD
Actually I kill myself to fall damage more than her, on my Mage…
I am too lazy to fly down to the ground after long distance flights so I dismount and iceblock. Except… For fighting I have a macro like
/cancelaura ice block
/cast ice block
So if I spam it too close to the ground it comes off before I can hit slow fall.
Server lag doesn’t help. I will think I am on the ground so I cancel it just after landing and I get hit by higher than the trees fall damage.
Between Niv and my capped rogue I am so used to not caring about height that my alts suffer. I managed to do this to my baby pally.
Twice.
Same hour.
I had immunity bubble.
I forgot it.
I’ve “killed” ample of peeps through the lack of slow-fall; Strangely many peeps in my groups have been jumping down high ledges without waiting to see if they actually get a slow-fall or not (which I really don’t understand - afaik, all places where one really have to jump, Blizz have made the jump safe by landing in water or so - why peeps w/o parachute insists on jumping from the Naxx entrance and other high up places I do not know). Well, if one screams “slow-fall me” after they have jumped instead of before, then I don’t really consider it my fault if the landing hurts.
And gawd I wish I could portal peeps to horrible places by “mistake” - I usually give away portals for free to anyone that includes a “please” when asking, but some folks never accepts a “sorry, I’m too busy with [...] at the moment” and keep on yapping - In those cases I wish they’d come back all scorched, asking why the portal to SW landed them in Deathwings bedroom…
or lack of feathers too… that’s happened before. heh…
also, I’ve fallen for the Stonard portal more times than I’d care to acknowledge…
So did coffinshaker ment to miss or is was that a acudent?
It was entirely on purpose because we mages are cruel and horrible people that gleefully extort a mass of cash from our ‘client’ and then send them to their deaths.
~I said to ollow me, follow me, follow me, down… Down down, down
Do you see all my dreams?
Not everything in this magical world is quite what it seems~
Magical World, Bassnecter
oh yeah, totally on purpose! XD we mages are jerks like that!
though warlocks are worse! they actually CAN do this!
I know this mage that gives portals FOR FREE! (not in guild) i think there is a evil plot behind it now!
P.S. How do warlocks do that?
Actually I do portals free too in seriousness, only when I am not busy (late into dungeon queues are included there) and when the person is nearby. I don’t advertise this actively, nor do I take trade chat requests, I may do a /1 general though if I am not busy. If I define myself as busy I explain what I am busy doing. Tips are always welcome though, but I don’t ask.
Through the power of summoning rituals. Classic examples include tricking lowbies into tossing their hearthstone and bring them to a really high level zone and ditching them. Also gurubashi ganking. A person is summoned to the gurubashi arena where a mass of people are waiting so they can Zerg the poor soul.
ah, beat me to it once again Niv! see, them locks are a tricky bunch! they also can summon you to places and have the portal thingy just over an edge so when you pop in, you fall to your doom. happened to me a few times when they made a raid and killed off a good 20 of us.
yeah, I kinda shy away from the portal thing… I just hate when getting into town and having my chat window fill up with whispers about ports this and water that. some offer to pay and that’s fine, but some people expect you to port them wherever they want. it uses a mat people! and gold don’t grow on trees! but sometimes I have an off day and send a few nice fellows on their way if they’re nice about it. otherwise, they better get walkin! >)
I thought you got summoned to the caster’s location. I will bear that in mind.
No, but gold does grow on mobs and a few bits of verdor trash will be more than enough to buy a hoard of portal stones.
I do find myself giving directions a lot. You know how it is when you crawl all over the place and know it all.
Examples include following the river north in hillsbrad to avoid horde on the way to chill wind post, the pass behind durnehold to get to aerie peaks, how to get to ratchet, Uldum, burning steppes, and how the alliance boat system used to work.
Exo to SW
Boat to auber, boat to menethill in wetlands (this dock now goes to the fjord, other dock to theramore) RUN the length of the path to the mountain pass (with level 26 death crocs, spiders, and gnolls by it) surprise orcs in the mountains, then the length of dun morogh to IF, GRAB THAT FP, take the tram to SW, FP, victory dance. This trip on foot took over an hour.
Before mounts at level 30, and back when mages had to go to each city for their teleports.
The TB run always felt quicker and had less high things around (thunder lizards?).
It didn’t help that I was such a noob four years ago and had to thottbot all the eastern kingdoms maps.
I don’t miss those days.
In hindsight I’m not sure why I just detailed all that, but I’m not gonna delete it now.
Teleport: old Dalaran! Get yours while it’s still in the game!
all portal prices are falling! heh… hehehe… hahahaha… HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
hmmm, maybe I shouldn’t include that laughing bit in my trade chat message…
I never ask for a port without ofering some gold (unless there guildies) infact the mage that does them for free turned down the money offer
Ya i dont see a point of asking mages for water! When a food vendor is probely 5 feet away! (unless your in a instance and you are the healer)
well, it’s kind of a dated thing… but back in the day, us mages would get hounded for free water/food, especially for lowbies trying to level or raiders about to go out on a run. and don’t get me started on bgs! you either get the group AI buff up and a food/drink table made or it was all hell to pay! never mind you made one a few minutes ago, before latecomer xLegoLassx starts demanding a new one just for him. bah! XD
Oh, son of a…
Well, jokes are you, I stole the money back from you, and replaced it with a bag of dog shit!
Rogues, ftw!
and that’s why I don’t trust rouges either! XD
That’s so like a mage!
“Look, that mage gave me a cookie! How nice of him! I’ll just put it in my pocket and eat it later.”
- 15 minutes passes -
“Hey, where’s my cookie?!”
“and why do I seem to be on fire?”
ah yes, we mages are a wily bunch.
Oh, I wish I could do this. *evil grin* Wont have repeat customers but it’ll teach some people a few manners. At the very least you could say “Did you zone into Dalaran? Then no QQ, I did my job! You just are having a monday.”
awe… did you not want to be teleported into deep space? probably should have said “please” then, shouldn’t ya!
Hey where is the newer comic?
last wednesday I made a little note under the comic that I wouldn’t be able to finish a full friday one… out of town for my birthday festivities… anyways, I made an extra mini, so check it out! >D
Now you’re thinking with portals.
I hear the mana biscuits might be a fabrication…
You could do this in EverQuest, sorta. Teleport people into dangerous high-level areas without invis. And in that game, if you died, your stuff stayed on your dead body and you had to go back and fetch it. Quite the “karma bites back” combination. :3
why do I get the feeling you have first hand experience with this… >)
you cant do that to a priest levitate ftw
dang dirty cheating priests!
