You can say that again, Bob.
When Dvinn finally conned Green to me, I thought, "Heh heh, payback, inkie!"
and went in the tower and waited for him, tapping my sword in my hand.
He spawns. I con to make sure "green" just before he leaps upon me... and
proceeds to thoroughly and quickly, and neatly, destroy me. Instead of
taking 4 seconds to die to him when I was lower level, instead, it took
about 15 seconds (smile).
The /con system is either broken, or intentionally left to mislead you. I
believe Verant intends you to "con" critters by actually fighting them,
rather than relying upon a computer to tell you the exact level your
opponent may be. Lately, the only reason I con something is to see if I will
get experience or not. Otherwise, to me, Conning is a complete and utter
waste of time.
Just my 2 copper's worth,
Tallonn
