Hi Nexon, was this your idea of a joke?

[Kawasari Mimoto]

Long story short, I needed to take a piss, so I put something heavy on my RIGHT ARROW key, and had MG and all buffs on. I came back 30 seconds later, to find out that everyone was:

Now, how in the pineapple did that happened? They said it was lag, I said "wtp?", because lag doesn't do that, I also saw no Rombots. -confused- Assuming it's some sort of a glitch.

EDIT: sec, damn censors in here ruining my url. =(
EDIT2: The censoring in this forum sucks, no offence. =( Also, fixed broken img link!

Can't you hold a piss for 30 seconds? That doesn't explain why 5 people died and all said it was lag unless they all went to piss with something on the arrow key.

For the pissing thing, yes, I could have. But I had MG on ANYWAYS, so I knew I wasn't going to die unless somehow I magically got dispelled. Ironically, I did die by some evil natural force of nature! I also have no idea how they all died, I'm confused as well.

Did we learn our lesson? Gueds you shoulda pee'd before apqing.

It always got on my nerves when people brb or afk during apq. When people say "can I relog?" As soon as everyone is already inside.... Ummmm why the fk didn't you relog before you started spamming L> APQ @@@@@@@@.

I agree, its really annoying. :f7:


At least pee at the end of the stage prior, sure your party will have to wait, but what if everyone just threw something on their right arrow key and AFK'd in that stage? Oh wait, this would happen, lol.

It is possible one of your party members was a hacker and vacc'd the whole mob of monsters right through you guys really quick without godmode on.

But that'd be pointless.

[Kawasari Mimoto]

I doubt everyone afk'ed. <_<; This was the 1st time this happened, I honestly to God think it was vac.

[Link]

Give this person the benefit of a doubt... I HIGHLY doubt 6 people went afk at once in that stage... Random deaths have happened to me before on that stage as a CRUSADER, too. I had full health and was ahead of the rest of the party, yet magically, my HP randomly dropped to 0 and I died. This was only a month or so after weddings and APQ were released, so I think that was only a glitch of the time.

[DrRusty]

Say you were the only afk person; couldn't you ask the people when you came back how everyone died? I'm sure someone would have said somethin out of rage if that happened to them.

One of them said 'We all lagged', the others all just F6'ed and left the party. I'm as confused as you are. I doubt it was lag...

PS: Seriously, holy crap, look at my Bishop's buffs AND HP/MP BARS! MG is on, my HP is depleted, and I only lost a couple bit of MP. Isn't something STRANGE in that picture? Along with the fact that everyone died?! If it was vac, actually, now that I think about it, I'd lose a hell lot more MP than that, so I think it's a glitch on Nexon's part.

A mage of your level would get killed in 1 hit by those rombots, even with MG. Your HP multiplied by 5 comes out to around 9k, and I'm sure those rombots hit quite a bit more.

When a mage is killed in 1 hit with MG, because their HP is less than 20% of the damage amount the monster is doing, does their MP get reduced? I've never played a mage, but is it that it hits HP first, and then if you don't die, MP takes a hit too? But if you die from the HP, then it can't take away the MP because you are already dead? Rather than hitting MP and HP at the same time? If that is the case, then it was probably the rombots, and somebody using a vac hack or something, or maybe they were right about lagging, or people were being lazy about hitting gates. I find a glitch highly unlikely.

I find it strange that the sin said "xD", they are also the lowest level in the party, being the only second job. And they left the map first.

Also notice how 2 heroes died? Heroes has the highest HP without Hyper Body.

[Heidi]

Yeah, I did notice that the heroes were dead. However, what level were they?

Without HB, I really doubt that I could take a Rombot hit. And that's with PG. There is a good chance that they didn't have PG casted, because there is absolutly no reason to have it in that stage, and not everybody uses buffs where they don't need them. Unless they were really high level or HP washed, I'm not surprised that they were killed. And even if they were killed in 2 hits, it is quite easy to mess up potting, especially if you weren't expecting it to come. Those rombots are nasty.

To answer your question, no the MP does not deplete. Its happened to me getting my HS mule through the JQ in CWK.

Im not married and have never APQ'd so I cant contribute to this topic in that manner but I could answer the question you brought up xD

[Outland]

Could you explain wondergirll? Did she click [Ok] as soon as she died while the rest of you stayed? Just wondering 'cause she's the only one not on the map.

[Heidi]

Yeah, and she's also the lowest level, and she said "xD" in the chat, as if she finds what happened funny...

[sicnarf]

APQ isn't all serious business.

[Heidi]

^ at above, YAH IT IS,

Anddd I just did a search of the ranks. I checked wondergirll, wondergirii, wondergirli, and wondergiril on the ranks. One of them is a 10x mage or something, the other 3 didn't come up. That sin is off ranks.

[lul.]

Most likely that wonder Girl hacking with her not being on ranking and being the only one outside.

[Rain]

I seem to remember something similar in the testing server in zakum, where if you were at the map outside the gate the whole party would just randomly die and random times. :/ Maybe it's the same thing only with apq?

[Deviant]

By the way when I said "what if everyone AFK'd with something on their right button" I wasnt saying that as a situation for this, more saying it as a hypotetical situation in the future, as in "Imagine if everyone did what you did in future PQs", but less derogatory.

[Avenge]

Monsters in APQ running stage aren't really monsters... how2vac

pg does not work with those apq rombots, i tried myself, with or w/o pg, it always hit around 9k-10k dmg.

edit: and if the hero never did hp wash, he need be lvl 14x+ to have 10k hp to survive 1hit from golems afaik

[bio9205]

Did we learn our lesson? Gueds you shoulda pee'd before apqing.

Yeah, i do that :f3:

Anyways, i have no idea how, or why. What did ur party members say? And ouch, losing % and level 140 is, pain.

[Jormungandr]

Well, what if everyone else didn't bother to hit the gate? If no one hit the gate then that would have meant that everyone stood there and died from being hit by the rombots =D

[Beaner]

next time be pro and keep a piss bucket next to you

[DeanNim]

@Heidi : I think the system checks if your HP can take the 20% of the damage.. If it does, MP is reduced.. If it cant, MP stays while your HP goes down to 0.

Ive encountered these type of situations many times before when i forgotten to activate Invincible.
