Gold Fever Question

[FluffNStuff]

First, I LOVE Gold Fever. Favorite Boss EVA!. But I do have a couple question.

These questions assume you know to stay away from person with Fever, so only one player 'gets it', and it does not spread.

Does the person with the fever always take damage, or is there a way to avoid it.
Can the fever be cured with heal?
Is there a way for a tank to take the fever from a mage without causing 'two fevers'. (They seem to get one hit by their own fever, while my bear can take it with full health)

Does the person with AGRO always get the fever?

Gold Fever is Awesome. I'm pretty sure the fever can't be cured by heal. Don't you have to break the chests open?

Breaking the chest with the green shield remove his shield, but I am not aware if the chests are related to your 'fever'. Does it cure it?

[noobmigo]

That's what I was told. I think it's supposed to cure the person who breaks the chest. I've never tested it before.

Heal does not seem to cure the fever... As for staying away from the fever person, I have tried yesterday to run off while "feverish" but somehow messed up (finger slipped off the "joystick" and rotated the room instead but I am trying to test going to the orbs outside as a possible cure. Anyone tried this? Is it possible?

[noobmigo]

I've never had the fever before, nor have I noticed anything that lets you know you have the fever. I was just jumping in a 50 game and I saw one of the 53s go "Break the chest, you have the fever, don't touch me or boot." to another guy.

The big colorful !!!!!!! above you means the fever. LOL

[noobmigo]

Oh!!!!! So That's why I died! Which means that I have had the fever. So, uh, does the chest remove the fever?

[Lesrider]

Yep, fun boss. Definitely the most challenging of the new bosses. Still not sure why he's the first one you encounter. Seems like Trash Heap should be first -- he goes down easy.

[BeardedBear]

You guys notice it says "God Fever" when the text announces he has spawned?

[noobmigo]

No. I didn't.

[Tengotengo]

I ran off when I heard ticking and a) didn't die, b) didn't see any appreciable damage to anyone else. I'd suggest mages run when they hear ticking just to be on the safe side, and be able to rev some or all the party after. better to start from scratch than do that run again.

I don't know about fever, but i do know to destroy the chest with the green orb whenever he buffs. That makes him die faster. I'll have to look into the fever thing.

I agree, Gold (God, sic) Fever is awesome.

I think this is the mechanics of it....

At some point, he infects the player with aggro with gold fever -- player gets emotes.

A timer starts and a chest gets a green orb. When the timer finishes GF does some noise/burst that has a certain radius. If the player with gold fever is within that radius, he takes a ton of damage and also radiate damage to players around him.

If you kill the chest with the green orb, the timer stops and the burst doesn't happen. I don't know about the shield, hadn't actually observed that part.

Running away when you have the fever does save you and your party. It can be hard to tell if you have it though if the party's in a bunch.

Sound about right?

[noobmigo]

I told you guys that the chest works. it just don't cure fever correct?

[Kindread]

Wow that guy giving you the instructions sounds like an ***. The comment he made to you grates on me in tone. I don't like players like that. Relax, take a chill pill.

[Ravenous]

Breaking the chest DOES remove the fever from whomever has it.

[noobmigo]

Really? Cool!

[Kindread]

This is exactly it. When I get the fever, I take off away from everyone and even if I explode, I take considerably leas damage than when I'm near the group. So basically, if i see the celebrate emote , I've been running from the infected. Didn't know that breaking the chest stops fever.

[BeardedBear]

see?
