Dispel Gate

[noxmonk]

How do you arrive at a destination to which the entrance doesn't exist?

star trek, beam me up scotty

Either way you can't go back through, the only difference is that the person on the other side of the gate will still see the gate but won't be able to go through it?

I had mentioned this to Derrick before. The way it should work is you can dispel one side. the other side of the gate will still work but going back through it will yield no way to go back to where you just were. It should definitely only dispel one side.

Insert Patch Notes Plz

Actually, your best shot at proving this is probably not patch notes but rather the adventures of Galad, which was sort of a screenshot comic of T2A tomfoolery. His comics were recorded during this time (no Trammel, but Terathan Keep and thus T2A were certainly in existence as that's where he caused the most trouble).

Hiding in a doorway to block people's exit when they run away with low health/stam from a Terathan Avenger is pretty ineffective in Trammel, wouldn't you say?

I'm pretty sure he crossed eras, but if you can find dated episodes... I dunno. I just feel like I remember some gate-dispelling nonsense in some of his early screenshots.

[Ronk]

He was def in the T2A era. He may have attempted to carry on past that but he def predated UO:R and trammel.

This is like saying Pearl Jam wasn't a 90's band, because look - Riot Act! http://www.google.com/musicl?lid=it6Qzy ... W1V3ujJvOD

Neutral Galad is UO:R, remmember its 3 diffrent people, evil and good then neutral. Evil Galad aka original Galad is T2A for sure, check out the first strips, talking about being blue soon after looting someones body.

Im sorry, but is someone arguing against the fact that dispell only worked on one side of the gate during T2A?

I never saw a gate dispelled on both sides until I got here to UOSA. I was litterally puzzeled by seeing a gate disapear without a caster in the screen. That's just plain not accurate.

[Mephistopheles]

Feel free to keep conjecturing. I'll be waiting for those patch notes.

In all seriousness IDC and wouldn't remember how it worked from T2A but evidence is always necessary.

I haven't really read this thread at all really. However, from the sound of it there are people trying to defend the dispel field working properly by dispelling both gates... This has never been the case for Ultima Online ever. I can't believe there are some people actually arguing for it to be honest.

Here is a portion from a Stratics message board that clearly shows you that the current Ultima Online will dispel only one side to this very day.

[*]Summoned Moongates can be closed with the "dispel field" spell.

Partially true, they will only dispel on one side. The other end will remain open.

(so if you open a gate walk through and dispel, no-one can return but the gate the other side is open so they can come through)

This was exactly the way that it worked during the t2a too from the way that I remember the spell.

The demo code for the dispel field spell looks to me like it will only remove the gate that is targeted. This obviously means that the way it works on here is entirely incorrect.

[Mephistopheles]

That's dated to the modern version of UO. If you actually went through and played the demo until you had enough Magery to gate, please record yourself.
