Odd thing happened at Travesty

Post by Cygnus »

Let me set the stage. I was was just about to bring Travesty down around 22:15 shard time (give or take 15 minutes). Me and my war hammer and Angel form, she with her sinuous leathery wings and evil antanae, when a couple of odd things happened, at least they have never happened to me before. When Travesy was down to about 1/8 health and I was at full health (358 hp's and 242 stamina), she one-shot killed me with something. :shock: Most damage she did to me prior to that was 109 hp's on any given hit. Now, being one-shot by a mob is not that odd, though I figured if she hadn't done it by now, that was strange to have happen then. The really odd thing happened when I erased all signs of blue on her health bar. It was only a matter of minutes before she would have been bug splatter and I would be whirlwinding my way through assasins and mages. As soon as the last blue speck disappeared on her health bar, the health bar turned yellow and I got a warnnig on my screen saying that "I could not perform illegal acts on my target." As I am saying WTF to myself, the last odd thing happened; she just disappeared and her health bar grayed out as they will when they will if they go offscreen. :? I did Ctrl + Shift to see if I killed her and her corpse was on the ground, but alas, I find nothing. I was moments away from proclaiming triumph in slaying such a mighty foe single-handely and she up and leaves me hanging like a dumbfounded groom who thought they were marrying the runaway bride. Anyways, has this happened to anyone else :?:

Travesty is on a kill timer; if you take too long to kill her she will despawn. I believe the reset time is 15 minutes. Hope that helps :)

Well, yes, it helps explain a lot, but I am going to beleive it rather "ran away" to somewhere in the nether world in shame and embarrassment for being defeated by an average Excelsorian warrior. :woot:


Just curious, is Travesty the only Peerless with a timer like that or are there others?

I believe right now Travesty is the only one running a timer like that, however if I remember correctly the plan was to see how that went and then potentially implement it in the others. It helps keep the spawn open more, so you don't have someone in there waiting to bring buddies in or just goofing off to keep other players out, etc.
