Sumwan Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 My friend currently plays WX-78 on our dedicated server. We had a Wickerbottom who overloaded my friend with The End is Nigh. I know that with a telelocator staff a WX-78 can overload themselves. My friend tried this twice, but it didn't work both times. They used it far away from any lightning rods and didn't use any rain protection clothing. Was this mechanic changed in DST? Is there any way (besides random lightning during thunderstorms) a WX-78 in DST can overcharge themselves at will without a Wickerbottom?

GuyNamedChris Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The lightning strikes in the area that the staff is used, not where you go. (I think) So try using the telelocator around your WX friend to get lightning to strike him.

Sumwan Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 My friend used the telelocator on themselves, and while lightning did strike them, it didn't trigger the system overload.

ConfusedCourier Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Sounds like a bug, I don't recall any changes and it works as normal when i'm WX, though i've never overcharged with the telelocator. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/64597-wx-78-overload-without-wickerbottom/#findComment-725135 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't use it on himself. Try using it on a rabbit or something. Also wickerbottom's end is nigh is better because there's a bug that can keep you overcharged for several seasons in a row if you spam end is nigh.

This "bug" is intentional. The only thing possibly not intentional is that the sanity cost voids after the fifth strike or so.

I can confirm it works if you're not using it on yourself, but on something else in the area! Thank you.
