The Rats is impervious to attack...

[weirdbeard]

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.

Grab a newbie people! Appease the hungry server!

Oh $%^£ *runs*

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"?
