The age old question.....

[Shred Monkey]

I assume it's people who load slowly and they'll move once they're loaded in.

I'm glad no-one's mentioned the snack bar and open keg in the center of the portal yet.  Wouldn't want that secret to slip out.

 

Ah, damnit.  Now I'll never be able to get to chocolate waterfall.

A chicken and an egg are laying in bed smoking post-coital cigarettes. The egg turns to the chicken and said "Well that answers the age old question!"

 

Just noting this is an easter joke, ok? don't shoot me!

 

Well, actually, the correct answer is... the rooster.

Well, that's kindly thinking, but I often see clots of alts, often with their whole damned pet troupe, just stand there for very long times. If they just entered the game, they could be anywhere, not just at the portal, and not with their minions.

 

I really don't know what causes OuroZombieItis besides... well, let's not be unkind now.

I much prefer this Rooster.

They should make it so if you stand next to the portal too long, you get sucked into it and teleported to a random zone. Lol

[ScarySai]

Doing an ouro arc marks you as a tf, and you can't get afk kicked when on a tf. Same for AE.

[Triumphant]

I know I've been guilty of this before.  I didn't realize it could be such a problem.  I'll try to remember to move my characters out from the portal trigger, so it's not an issue in the future.

After standing next to the portal for more than 30 seconds, start removing things

Remove their pants, semi-permanently. Give them a no pants debuff for 8 hours of in game time.

I know one player on these forums that would intentionally stand there (while posting essays), so he could run around with no pants on

[MrAxe]

I feel we should bless the pool if its going to be so much fun...

TP to a random Shadow Shard location!  More people should have a chance to experience the beauty of the Shards.

Only if you can a) inactivate the SG portals and the portals directly back to FBZ, and b) make the 'jump off the rock and be teleported back to the start of the zone' target change to the entry to the next deeper zone in the Shard. The full experience of the Shard requires that you find and use the gravity geysers (or, for the masochistic, flight or teleportation) to traverse each zone, so you don't miss anything.

[TheMoneyMaker]

It's a portal.  If you stand next to it too long, have it drop you into a random area of a random zone.  Fun places like Eden, Cimerora, the Storm Palace, the Easter Egg room in Faultline, inside the BAF, or the outskirts of the Nightward.  Better, have it drop people into an instanced mission map that can't be won or quit out of; the only escape is dying or finding & clicking on a hidden door.

[twozerofoxtrot]

This whole thread is funny to me cause this problem only exists on one shard.

[Haijinx]

If the reason the Ouros are recruiting you is that you native time predates their Menders' allowing you to travel back further...

 

Than this can't be an age old question.

 

See why I hate time travel stories ....

[shortguy on indom]

yes.

I'm thinking

No Pants: PBAOE 10ft radius that inflicts a magnitude 10 frighten on all allies for 20 seconds.

I agree. For some reason, I find myself drawn to the Shards. Especially this time of year, the eyeballs should just be reaching peak bloodshot.

 

But if I can't have that, give me monkeypool!
