Not sure if this is explicitly what the first person is talking about, but you can't hum in combat. If someone advanced on you in hiding, you stop humming at the next pulse.

I wouldn't really consider that a good defense against random thieves ambushing you, though.

You're saying if I hum, no Thief in the game can advance on me in hiding and backstab me?

why does humming only stop thieves from ambushing you?

This just sounds like a plot to make people start ambushing each other.

Then maybe you should have said that in the first place instead of playing coy and irritating the piss out of everyone.

Or better yet, state exactly what your point is, what mechanics are supposed to do. Post a log of it so people don't waste time playing 'guess what the troll is thinking' against your constantly moving goalposts.

And you still have yet to address a single point other than trolling. I maintain that everyone, even gonif, has something helpful to add. I see very true hard and fast trolls on the boards.

So make with the data, stop sidestepping and making things up. Otherwise you're just a compulsive lieing little slimetroll.

This issue should be fixed now. Feel free to let us know if anything relating to this particular bug continues, as I firmly believe that upstanding citizens have the inalienable right to strike down musicians whenever possible.
