Malatina's Course of Terror Game

Title: Malatina's Course of Terror Game

Description: My Knight/Warrior (lvl 37/35) when doing that mini-game, nothing happens when I click on the cannons to get the message to shot or the vines to get the branches, so I can't complete the mini-game. I already played and everything was working, until 2 days ago, when that started to happen.

It seems that the Knight/Warrior character is the one with this problem, since my Druid/Scout (lvl 17/11) do the mini-game complete without any problem at all.

There are no class specific bugs in Malatina, at least nothing that would affect it that way. Yes, there is problem with cannons, sure, but they are not class specific. They had to do with several actions being possible and with cannon action not being the current one. Cannons only work if they are current. For example, when mob dies and leaves sparkle, that tends to come ahead of cannon, so even I am in cannon mode, I have to clean nearby drops first before the cannon mode comes to forefront.

A good report is a combination of doing some analysis (which is in your case deciding that it is class specific or level specific, and I think probably not correct), and not relying on that analysis too much in case it is wrong. So providing details help, and screenshots even more so.

There are some things in COT that are tricky. For example, unlike mob portal tiles, the vine tiles dont trigger easily - they require clicks in specific spot around edge of the tile. Even though cursor might be the gear wheel, it won't activate in other spots. That is where a lack of screenshot hurts you - it would show if you are clicking in right spot or not.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

Why would you run CoT bellow L50? Waste of PT if you ask me.

Horse rental tickets. If you do it fast enough you can get (I think) 15 of those PT's back.
You can also pull Musical Instrument materials too.

Unless it was changed recently, speed has nothing to do with getting PT's as rewards. Like getting phirius potions, it is RANDOM on whether you get, and how many, PT's from the game.

Horse rentals and musical instrument boxes are good reasons to run it however. Music boxes can be sold for quite a bit of gold at least on indigo, or used if you're too lazy to craft your own instruments since the boxes aren't bound.

It's sure not the way I'm playing or if I'm clicking on the right spot or not, since as I said clearly before, I've completed with my druid ( I do that everyday with her ), so I know how to play it correctly. But thank you anyway for trying to help.

- Phirius Potions
- Horse Tickets
- Instruments Materials
- The Fun itself, can be a good reason also

I don't have K/W, but I run COT on my K/P every day, and occasionally run her as K/S. No issues that are class related I can think of. COT is DPS game, and some classes can shortcut it *cough* mages and their TS *cough*. But no reason why Knight should have it any different.

One thing I did notice is that Alt-1 does not always work when cannon gets into weird state. Have to press the button instead of key combo. That would not be the reason, would it?

For interaction with the tiles of that mini-game, I don't use the keyboard, only clicks with the mouse. With the cannon for example, it doesn't get into that state where you can press. I can just turn into a cannon, but after that it was like a "decorative" object of the map, doing nothing.

First I thought that maybe could be lag issues and graphics, since I had few problems because that entering Ice Dwarf Kingdom instance, although my druid still does normally with the same graphics settings as the knight tries, but I tried anyway, lowering all the graphics, but still got the problem.

Actually, if you do it within a preset amount of time, the two Special chests with precious keys are a (virtually, AFAIK) guarenteed PT drop. I just did it last night and got 20, 10 from each chest on each side.

It is just random. I usually run CoT in less then 5 min - whole game with chest pickups (I know, those damn mages got it easy) and it is just random what you will get in any chests... There was time that I got 45 PT out of it, there are times I get no PT at all.

Those mount ticket used to be fairly cheap, but if you have fun running it, good for ya.

I always forget about magical instruments... used to love those... but still never managed to get enough time to run it on more then once character per day...

It's not random. U have to do last 2 runs in under 3 min each to get the precious keys to open the 2 special chests which have the better rewards. U also have to do the first 2 runs under certain amount of time to qualify for the precious keys. I know we're all use to buzzing through it, but those precious keys for the special chests r not random rewards and have the best rewards.
