wonafyt monster position

Postby flap on Tue Jul 02, 2013 8:51 am

Have other players realised that wonafyt does not position monsters fully at random ?

It first tries to position the monster to the vertical or horizontal of the player, and then tries diagonal directions. That's usefull to know when harversting large quantity of pop corn.

As a side note, wiki article is a bit too tough with that glyph. It should not start telling that the glyph is crap...

Does the wiki really say that? I love WONAFYT. It's a great glyph.
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.

Yeah, WONAFYT prioritizes vertical and horizontal, and only then goes for diagonals or more distant locations.

Definitely a good de-clogging glyph. Especially good with Asssassins since anything can become popcorn in time, whereas other characters need to eventually consider whether they can eventually 1-hit the target.

I was the one who wrote that. The key point to be made is that you very rarely are going to fight the monsters summoned by WONAFYT, you're going to corral them for later consumption. It also bears noting that WONAFYT has since been tweaked so that it predominantly spawns near the level entrance, making it much more likely to find it as a 1st level character (when it's most useful).

I like the approach of the description. It first explains the problems of the obvious way of using it and then explains the better usage.
