So.. how about making it that mirrors have no inventory?
Discuss. |

Unless it has been changed a thief can steal stuff given to mirrors, but as far as I know that is the only way to get the item back. |

I am suppressed that no one ever brought this problem up before, it is annoying. Clifton your still an a-hole, but I would like to see a message like, "a fiery dagger clashes with a false image," or "a fiery dagger falls through a false image(having the item fall to the ground)," when you try and hand a fiery dagger to a mirror image.

If I went around saying I was king just because some moistened bink had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away! |

It's a take-off from a quote from Monty Python's "Holy Grail"... something like:
"Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you. If I went around saying I was Emperor, just because some moistened bink lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away."
Good movie, just not one of the more memorable lines... |

Look, I have played more illusionists than any 3 of you combined and never lost items over this "problem". |

Oh Dav, It is not me handing my illusions items, but other people doing so. That is why they should not be able to receive items. I am sure changing the auction system has cut down on this problem, but stupid people never seize to amaze me. I mean look, Clifton drew a picture.

It's funny that you're calling me stupid. I bet you still don't have any idea why I drew that picture.
You're a dipshit and should cut off your fingers.
^^ You can't type if you have no fingers, just in case you didn't understand.
Edit :: Posted because someone lost some potions (worth 5k or so) to mirror images. Just figured I'd throw it out there. |

The thing to remember about AR is it is a world of fantasy, not real-world physics. The magic trick "really happens". Mirrors are reflections of the illusionist that EXIST in the ethereal dimension. A mirror only pops when you (not the illusionist) realise it is a mirror, because you have to believe it exists for it to exist. The mechanic for that is ONLY by attacking the mirror, which makes you realise it is false. It is that way because the spell is primarily to protect an illusionist from harm. You will notice recently I made it even harder to discern an illusionist from his mirrors. If you hand a mirror an item, you remain fooled, the mirror does NOT pop. Consistent with the spell and its lore. But if we had you tried to hand an item over, and found out it was a mirror like that, it would have to pop, wouldnt it? That is a new condition for popping that has zero protective benefit to the illusionist, it'd just be there because its convenient for trading items. In fact it possibly offers a way for non-aoe'ing classes to macro really fast mirror-popping. Also, I have no reservations against items being destroyed because people were careless. If you want to trade items, be sure to dump the mirrors. Its something to know about your class. |

I know why you drew the picture. Everyone has made fun of you your whole life for being confused about your lack of sexual attraction to females, and this is your only chance to be an asshole without getting beat up. Oh, you probably meant did I get the joke. I thought it was funny, but I did not want to say anything to encourage bad behavior from people with the mentality of a twelve year old.
Love,
Grayden |

You are homophobic.
You are no longer cool.

Esura you are almost as well as my English teacher, and yes you win so far. I got A's except English, in all my college classes. Imagine that. I hope my sentence fragments get under your skin. For all you conspiracy believers… I want you to know that I write this way on propos. yes, propos.
