Title: The Rats is impervious to attack...
Post by: weirdbeard on April 15, 2008, 09:31:48 pm
And it's the only thing I can train on... this is, I presume, a bug?

I read that topic. My problem is that -every single rat npc I have found- is impervious.

I could almost guarantee it is a slight server or script-based error. Should be fixed soon?

The NPC server is currently having some issues, NPC's are randomly impervious. If you check back in a bit, they may or may not be attackable. I can assure you that the issue is being worked on.

In fact - every single NPC I have found in the sewers (rats or not) are impervious. This is a /bad/ glitch.

This comes up very frequently, weirdbeard... :) Something every PS player has kind of gotten used to over the course of their gaming. In fact we have an amusing IRC quote just on this subject:

Barry: Rux do you know why everything at the arena is impervious to attack that may explain why no one is online
Rux: npc server must be down again
Barry: someone mentioned super client this is beyond me
ramlambmoo|mIRC: super client controls npc actions
Barry: Thank you did not know that
Xyle: is it vulnerable to cyberkryptonite? ;)
Rux: it's vulnerable to slight gusts of wind

An old quote that still applies, unfortunately. I've heard a report from the active NPCclient developer that occasional sacrificial ceremonies seem to stabilise it though.

Could this and the other thousand threads in regard to the "impervious" message be deleted from the forum, so that a search immediately finds the answer in the sticky "Gameplay FAQ"?
