The Lighter Side of Shroud of the Avatar

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have some whimsical thoughts concerning certain aspects of SotA. I'll start off the list:

- Will the Red Sash Bandits ever wear red sashes?
- Shouldn't the Ebon Cultists wear black?
- Will Shoddy bow patterns ever be available?
- Does anyone else think the Sunless Barrens are misnamed?

 

When you get them drunk,they remove their clothes and dance. This is where you see them wearing res sashes, replying for a friend.

 

Where do the cables hooked to
each oracle's mechanical head in the different towns and Pot's lead to?

 

Why is setting myself on fire a viable combat strategy?

 

The Eye and Hand of Naturamans . I like that, being an old time AD&D player. Oh, it was reprised in Hackmaster, as well.

 

Good observations.

 

There is a reasonable explanation...

The famous canal streets of Ven... er.... Ow'ls Head.

I zoned in to Owl's Head the other night and the overland missing land bug had hit Owl's Head.




I went with it and swam my way to the ladder to the sewers. I enjoyed looking up into houses as I swam underneath them. I climbed the ladder at the sewers and made it onto land. I ran around to the carpenter shop close to the crafting pavilion. Some NPC's were having issues, which was fun to watch. I decided to jump off the deck and swim to the public vendor. Suddenly the water lost its buoyancy and I fell to my death. Fortunately, no death penalty was incurred as it was a wrongful death.



I ghosted around trying make my way to an ankh. Unfortunately, I had no way to reach it...



Oh, hey, I just noticed the in-game date.

On a serious note, does the water plane and the tufts of grass actually exist as shown? Lessons learned from my sim-racing track building shows that such objects existing but not visible can lead to performance hits.

 

My curiosity;

How can a ghost jump? Don’t usually fly or hover?
(You can still jump when you’re dead)
and why can’t ghost traverse through doors if they’re transparent?

 

You should have experienced how frustrating it was when you couldn't jump as a ghost and would get stuck on terrain features and not be able to make it to an ankh.

 

I feel you. I saw similar case when my guildmate stuck between stairs and its railings.

Wish ghost could just pass through everything!

 

YES. As a low level player, the only way I can actually get through a mountain pass (when it's an hour wait for the lunar rift) is to die and run to the ankh at the other end, hoping I'm not in one of the passes with closed gates.

 

Why does the master pole arms trainer have a sword equipped?

 

He’s having second thought, probably

 

He's already the master of polearms maybe he wants to learn a new skill can't blame a guy for bettering himself. Also maybe he doesn't have skill caps either so he is training every skill too.

 

Because he knows how much polearms suck.

 

Because he's actually the super grand master of subterfuge.

 

When 4000 arrows weigh less than 5 dinners...

 

"Kinsey report". Ah, ha, ha, ha.
