Title: Good news! Comet group discovered.
Post by: Corbett on February 10, 2004, 06:48:04 am: (http://members.shaw.ca/drcorbett/sixcomets.JPG)

Amazing! Six comets here. The one on the right is Otiga Minor, since he helped me find a spot where I could see six, and the group is the Corbonid meteor shower, because I discovered it. It\'s about time I contributed something to the community...

\"The one on the right is Otiga Minor, since he helped me find a spot where I could see six...\"

If he showed you where you can see the six, how can you say you \"discovered\" them? Unless I\'m misinterpreting something.

Post by: Draklar on February 10, 2004, 07:03:20 am: I\'m still the one that actually discovered that bug and showed it to Explorers :|
edit: and the one on right is called \"Haven\" so you can\'t really name it...
btw: here are all 8 comets:

Post by: jcterminal on February 10, 2004, 08:10:08 am: wow. so THAT\'s what i caught the tail end of while working on skins.

very cool.

it\'s a sign of things... i\'m sure of it.

Post by: Moogie on February 10, 2004, 01:08:10 pm: Yup, Draklar I think was the first to discover them all that time ago. :) It\'s a shame when somebody thinks they\'ve discovered something, only to find... they were too late. :D
Title: No, not really
Post by: Corbett on February 10, 2004, 02:34:34 pm: I found the area for this group of comets, but I only saw four at once, otiga backed up and then he could see six...

I knew there were comets all along, just didn\'t know they could be sighted from so many places. However, my record of six wasn\'t very longstanding. :(
Title: And I know it's a shame
Post by: Corbett on February 10, 2004, 02:37:41 pm: This is, like, the fourth time I have discovered something to find out I was too late as it is... under the library stairs, under the tower, under the world (fell out of the dome :P)... sigh... Ah well, at least me and Hevrah are some of the only people that have been under the warehouse stairs, IIRC
Title:
Post by: Draklar on February 10, 2004, 03:58:06 pm: anyway, from the right those comets are called
Haven
Ophidian
Clawhand\'s Comet
...to think about it, since I\'m not Clawhand anymore, gotta name some other one ;)
so yea, 2nd from left (since it looks more like a fireball :P) shall be named after me. And the first from left... well what can I say? lady Aelya :D
name the other 3 whatever you want, Corbett, you have the right to ;)

Post by: Kiern on February 10, 2004, 10:14:08 pm: This has to be the greatestestst discovery evers!

But only because I can\'t be negative.

Post by: Kixie on February 10, 2004, 10:45:32 pm: so the devs havnt said what they are supposed to mean yet? how long ago did these appear?

Post by: Commando on February 10, 2004, 11:28:07 pm: My guess is that it\'s the temple way\'s fireplaces that are buging

Post by: faldrok on February 11, 2004, 02:59:18 am: Wow, I never noticed those; cool!!

(Although I hardly ever looked up.......)

Hmm, I might start playing again to just see them. I bet they are rare; eh?

Happened that way with my first wife; her daddy was a wealthy industrialist who left her a lotta money.
But, her previous husband had cleaned her out long before I came along.

:P

Post by: Corbett on March 03, 2004, 04:28:16 am: I\'m trying to think of names. Any ideas?
Title:
Post by: TheGeneral on March 03, 2004, 07:50:47 am: Alucard
Alucard Jr.
Alucard Sr.

Have your pick, I really dun mind, they are all great names really. :D
But seriously, Aduro sounds good, it\'s latin for burn. Or Aqua Aduro, rain of fire...or close enough to it.
I am out of ideas.... :D

There\'s something I don\'t get. If Aduro means burn, and Aqua means water, how can Aqua Aduro mean Rain of Fire? Shouldn\'t it be Burning Water or something like it? :)

Post by: Syzerian on March 03, 2004, 08:29:43 am: i make maps so i know all about these types of bugs
when you enter a building ou go through a zone portal so the real building is really in some random place outside the skybox/dome. the glitch you see here is quite a common one where you are able to see flames through walls.

if anyone wants to know, there are also 3 more in a looking straight ahead type position but im not going to tell you where to stand to see them :P

Post by: AendarCallenlasse on March 03, 2004, 09:05:58 am: Hmm I just noticed that the fire pits in front of the temple aren\'t there. Seems like that\'s what we\'re seeing.
Title:
Post by: Fenrison on March 03, 2004, 09:13:32 am: Yep, if you stand in certain spots and look in a certain direction the firepit flames get tossed up into the air for some reason. Nice fireworks diplay though.
Title:
Post by: Syzerian on March 03, 2004, 09:13:43 am: hmmm ok so maybe i was wrong about that skybox/dome thing
Aendar congratulations! you are correct lol
well if we are really seeing the firepits moved in some bugged way shouldnt there be a 10th one?
Title:
Post by: Fenrison on March 03, 2004, 09:18:46 am: 10th? Theres 8 as far as i remember, 4 on each side of the temple entrance path...course i just got of PS and im rather tired....its a bit fuzzy:P

Actually I am taking a Latin Class, and if those translations are correct, \"rain of fire\" would be \"Aqua Aduri\", though that could also be translated \"fire\'s rain\" which technically means the same thing...

AND I QUOTE, \"OR CLOSE ENOUGH TO IT\"
it was close enough, just go with it.

Post by: Martel on March 05, 2004, 09:47:43 pm: Do these fireballs/comets fall?

Or do they just like stick up in the air?
Title:
Post by: Axsyrus on March 05, 2004, 10:09:07 pm: These comets are just the flames from in front of the temple, they are just in a different position. This means they don\'t fall. They move when you move around though..
Title:
Post by: Fenrison on March 05, 2004, 10:09:47 pm: Just hang there. They\'ll move if you move your view though.

[Edit]nice timing axsyrus[/Edit]
