I corrected the 1% thing a LONG time ago. Ty to those who supported my starting of this thread, but for those trying to correct me, please make sure the mistake still exists. Ty for the healing tidbit, I will add that immediately. I originally started this thread because people need to know stuff, and there were some things I tried to tell people and people didn't belive me. I thought, with a bit of approval from a more massive audience, these facts would become more accepted. Mainly in my mind when I first thought of making a thread like this was the "Superior Absorption Runes do not stack", before it stated non-stacking... many people wasted their money on absorptions, swearing up and down that they were stacking. Hah. Also, the lvl 1 at Ember Light Camp/ Ring of Fire thing people find particularly hard to swallow. When someone posts a mistake, I correct it immediately. So, chances are, if someone has mentioned it once, it is already corrected, or will be next time i log on. Funny how forgetting a period made people think i was crazy, saying it was 1% of the map as opposed to .1%

OP OUT!

Bump?

Am I not bumping it enough because I have been too hooked on the Sims 2?

No, we are just out of trivia

More? Zhed does not spread disease to humans because he is a Centaur.

Pfft, I used Talon Silverwing to EoE bomb Am Fah and Jade Brotherhood :P

(That is, get about 4 groups of them aggroed, do a lot of damage to them, while your party is taking a lot of damage, bam: insta-death. Talon survives and reses everyone!)

However, you are singling out one specific enemy, Sab. ANY non-human will not spread disease to humans. I would add this, but I do not think it is really that much of an obscure fact, especially considering disease isn't exactly common.

Ok now for a question: Does anyone dispute anything that they see on the 1st page in the original post? It could be because you do not think it is true or perhaps because you don't see how it is possible or even because it is something you posted and you think it should be somehow linked to you. Whatever it is, I would like to know.

Also, what in the original post did you find particularly helpful? What did you learn that you did not know before?

And, as usual, what do you know that isn't listed that you belive should be listed.

In some cutscenes you can actually walk around by doing the following things

:

For going forward or backward: press w and s in the following manner: wswsws (and so on, till you see your character moving a little bit around, after that hold one of those two and run like the wind

)
For turning around: do the same as by the forward/backward thing but now with a & d.
for sidestepping: same as before but with q & e

You can't walk with two directional keys at the same time as far as i know

------NOTE: it doesn't work in all cutscenes and i'm using the standart keyboard layout

------

I hope they don't fix it because it's funny to do while someone isn't skipping

Retribution and Holy Wrath do some form of Holy damage, because they trigger Tormentor's inscriptions/Factions-Prophecies armor.

Wow, never seen that before. Any idea what cutscenes this works/doesn't work on?

If you hold the A or S keys (movement) while you are using a skill that requires the load bar (heal signet, firestorm), then you will rotate in a circle!

Here is one I found out Just today:

Scouts in NF (or any friendly NPC outside of Outposts) can be Killed threw Disease.

Yeah, I was mainly talking about HA, where you might use Rotting Flesh against a team with Zhed (where I first discovered this).

I learned a couple of new things from this thread. Sweet

MrTumnus · Dec 04, 2006, 10:27 PM // 22:27

If you use the number pad (that group of about 17 buttons on the right side of the keyboard) you can target team members without having to click on them in the UI or the party window.

I just found that out today

Consider that there are at over 100 zones in Cantha (source: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Locations_(Factions)). If your radar really displayed 1% of the total world map, each zone would be, on average, no larger than a single radar.

I suspect your estimate of the radar's size is off by several orders of magnitude.

Actually, the orignal post says 0.1% (without the 0 but still with the "."). The math might still be wrong, but the poster is suggesting that the radar (not the aggro bubble) is a tenth of a percent. So there's at least one order of magnitude.

Darn tricky decimals.
