Topic

Rook Attack Frequency (as requested)

EDIT #2: This thread is the de facto repository of the ongoing efforts of the Rook Alerts group to keep track and predict the Rook attacks plaguing Aranna in particular and Rook attacks in general.

EDIT #1: Google Spreadsheet courtesy of Garum. Please update both the thread and the spreadsheet.

I have been keeping track of Rook attacks in Aranna especially those I participated in. So far my guesstimates have been holding true; the. rook attacks are approximately 2 real-time hours apart ± 10 minutes.

NOTE: This applies to Rook attacks in Aranna

  • I have revised the doc a little bit:
    - Added No. Column for time tracking. The next time if the sheet are out of order, just re-arrange it using sorting the No. Column from A=>Z
    - Clean up some formulas and cross checking
    - Revise formula so now you can change period of day (just for the heck of it)

  • It appears our streak has ended and things are getting switched up.  Haven't had an attack all night

  • No attacks? Whoa...I think I'm more disturbed by that news than if we had several simultaneous ones.

  • Maybe we killed them all. All of them. -or the devs know about our thread and decide to change it to make it more fun (in some way).Your guess is as good as mine.

  • There apears to be a reason for all this:

    *LINK*
    Do Not Rook Roll
    According to staff, Jade, in Rook Alerts today, there is a bug with Rook attacks.
    I assume this means no attacks for a while.
    She also said DO NOT ROLL YOUR 12-SIDED DIES AS IF IT COMES UP AS ROOK, TROUBLE.

    That's what I heard ;)

    I would like this verified, cos its the only information on rook alerts I've found to explain anything.

  • That bug was fixed a while back and the rolled attacks never had anything to do with reals....

  • HI , at 11:07PM EST on Tues. night (sorry I fail at converting the time) , just a few mins ago. I walked on to Fern End in Groddle Forest
    ( www.glitch.com/locations/LC... ) and found 3 animals that were rooked. 2 pigs and a butterfly. I revived all 3 ,but asked for help in the non-alert chat. Gronkles Mcgee , Griselda and Jauncin showed up and thus animals revived. I saw no tree damage or other indicators. There was no other player on the map when I entered .
    Dont know if this was a trueattack or not.Can a roll of the dice cause a mini attack?
    Cause there were other animals there but they were fine.
    ALSO - the pigs mentioned something about "no more revive? Maybe a powder would help". Since i was solo a the time til help arrived. SO - is there a powder that help with revives if you are solo ? I tried a fecundity powder -seemed to have no effect.
    all answers are helpful,i still have lots to learn. THanks, serenitycat

  • That sounds like the result of a roll instead of an all out Rook Attack.

    A powder? Now that's interesting!

  • Attacks may have started again Mulligani Meda  @ 12:22

  • Rook attack around 15:50 in Tamota Trill.

    There have been a bunch of rooked animals spotted around with no other signs of attack. I guess the 12-sided die is getting more powerful with the rolls.

  • Rook Attack @ 17:10 - Lowan Len.    Quick fight! 
    Good job, team!   Spreadsheet has been updated.
    Posted 13 months ago by Groovy Bear Subscriber! | Permalink
  • a rookroll is not a "mini=attack"; it's a stupid self-inflicted wound and as such should be left to the rookroller(s) to clean up after it or not.

    it's none of my concern.

  • Just finished off a nasty-ish on in  meera dhala.  About 18:20, I think.  Nice work, everyone. :)  Even Rube showed up to help out (or perhaps he was part of the problem....)

  • All of the animals and trees needed revived in Totakuru Trample at 19:35 GMT, but I have no idea if this was due to an actual unseen rook attack.  (If a tree falls ...)

    While I've seen an increase in Glitches coming to Aranna and rolling their 12-sided dice, I've no idea what rolling a rook does or does not do to a street, and Glitch Strategy wiki is not enlightening on this, so it might help those of us who weren't in beta if someone explains.  It would also be helpful if anyone has ever ridden out an actual attack and could tell what happens if no one fights.

  • Flake, you'll know if it's a real Rook attack if your pet rock at the top of the screen turns into a Rook.  Anything else is likely just a rolled attack and not a cause for alarm, just some revival of plants and animals.

  • First off, I apologize for not updating the thread and spreadsheet the couple of times I was online and fighting The Rook. In my defense I was very, very sleepy and you know what happens when I update times when I'm sleepy.

    Second, good work everyone!

    Third, Davinna has been working on a Rook Attack FAQ with a friend of hers. It's not finished yet, but it covers the basics. So if people ask questions on the Alert channel, refer them there first.

  • Mal'akh, there have been a few full attacks outside of Aranna today; I participated in one in Dhab Habit and, uh, somewhere else that also wasn't Aranna, pretty close together; I think sometime between midnight and 1am UTC.
