  • They are evolving. They are sometimes eerie. Sometimes panicky.
    Supposed to do? Disrupted. Bring together. Entertain. Eventually I hope there are last effects. Right now they are most just working out mechanics of the attacks/.

  • I think the rook attacks happen when the developers are on. When the attacks are working as planned other time zones will see them. There's a quest to see the rook museum to inform you what to do. 
    Rummages around to find a link.

  • So do they take energy from you? Or does it steal an item?

  • Curious about this too.

  • If you want to see some images of one, my friend posted pics of his 1st Rook Attack.

    Also, you should join the group ROOK ALERTS. There are usually members patrolling the most common areas for rook attacks, and when one is spotted, its reported there quickly!

  • I was the alone on the street when the only one I've seen started. At first I could do nothing but help some stricken animals.  As more people gathered, we got organized and someone with the knowledge primed the shrine and we all sent power to vanquish the rook.   It took MANY tries and it sucked a LOT of energy out of each of us.  People who had food were passing it around to the others there.  There were 8 or 9 of us at the end, all working together to vanquish the rooks. 

    It was actually scary - they rip your screen apart from inside, fly at you with screeching noises and generally run amok. Several animals needed reviving from multiple players to recover.  Afterwards one of the other players invited us to his house where we ate to catch up on energy and talked about it.  It actually made my heart race for a little while.  It was definitely an intense few minutes.

  • I've been involved in one. It was ominous. Draining. Scary. Takes lots of energy.

    Visually, it's stunning. Spectacular. Never before have I felt *stared at* by a 2-dimensional creature.

    Made me determined to learn piety, let me tell you.

  • can you just tp out of there if you can't spare the energy to fight it?

  • I think I experienced a Rook attack way before I even knew what it was.  I was brand-new to Glitch (still am relatively) and I just thought it was just typical Glitch weirdness.

    Now that i know what they are, I haven't experienced them since.  Hopefully, they will be more plentiful after I learn Martial Imagination and Piety.

  • I recently saw one when i was rolling my 12-sided die (I did not know its power at the time).
    For some reason mine just came down flew back and forth a little and left. The animals needed reviving though. For anyone who doesnt know rooks look like the crows on the starting page (which are actually rooks).

  • I was in a cave near Northwest Passage and a rook just flew by, caused a little trouble and left. I think some attacks are large, some small.
