Great Orb Project: The Attract Wand

Recommended Posts

 

 

 

Some people seem to think if they click on the orb, it will automatically come to the altar regardless of obstacles -.-

 

 

 

u didn't know orbs can move thru solid pillars and rocks?!?! omg :o

 

 

 

Just kidding. :lol: :lol:

 

I've seen someone repelling an orb at a rock pillar and wondering why it didn't go through :roll: (I think I took a screenie of it, it was hilarious). Some people are also under the impression that getting the orb close to the general location of the altar will make the altar automatically vaccuum the orb in. :-#

:) Thanks for the pictures Sir.

 

 

 

I'm planning on merging some of the pathfinder section images with the rest. I'll probably have it done in a couple of days.

 

 

 

Edit: I have attempted the merge. I also put up some more intermediate tricks in the pathfinder section.

Lol, probably.

 

I just hope that I'm not in any of the pictures, being the fruitcake you're pointing out.

 

Keep in mind I usually play in LD on a laptop with no mouse :oops:

 

 

 

I wish your guide was mandatory reading for new players to GOP.

With the new update as of September 2,2009, half of those tricks and angles don't work anymore on certain altars and directions -.-.

 

 

 

Orbs misclicks much more often.

 

 

 

<-- is glad I played gop and did majority of Gop before the updates murdered it..

A quick picture for those regulars who are having some trouble with east. With thanks to Shy Yellow, Sad Hollow, Thor 313, and Xx Skilaxx for essence bombing the air altar since I couldn't make a good grid map.

 

 

 

White dot is where you stand.

 

Yellow dots are the key positions from previous lessons.

 

Red dots are the locations of orb spawns.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: You only need to click once to score these orbs. You do not need to click the ground, click the altar, or break your control from the orb at all. Just click the orb once and let it do the rest.

This is all because of what I'm going to call the Great Divide. The Great Divide is a line that runs right down the middle of the north and south arches. This line separates the new ways and the old ways. Orb spawns to the west require new techniques. The east spawns require the old techniques. Basically any orb west of the dividing line involve new ways. This is why, if you stood south, you have to do the new techniques to get western spawns, but are forced to do the old ways when spawns are eastern.

I'll incorporate this into the guide once I finish brushing up the rest. It will take me a while. Hope it helps those who are having trouble. The new techniques happened because the east-west orb movement, a fundamental of GoP, has become more emphasized as a rule than before.

For Portals from East Position.

 

(0: open spaces; 1: pillars; 8: position to get orb specified; T: cardinal direction position)

 

 

 

For orbs directly behind, one space, or two spaces behind...

 

|_altar_|

 

0-T-0

 

8-0-0

 

1-0-1

 

 

 

For orbs four spaces behind...

 

|_altar_|

 

8-T-0

 

0-0-0

 

1-0-1

 

 

 

I believe these positions work.

 

 

 

I'm no good at pictures, which is why I am doing it like this.

Hai Qweddy, you got it right!

 

 

 

:wall: Raw shots if you want a quick overview, I still have to fire up Gimp (eep, trouble loading it) and edit these with the Pathfinder legend, and there is another shot in particular I need to remember that's not included here:

This one I'm not sure of as I can't remember if it's one more or one less spaces than that. All these shots can be mirrored for the northwestern spawns, and western spawns if you stood south. (The east spawns, if you stood south, require the old way in accordance to the Great Divide.)

 

 

 

Most important thing is to hold until the orb is between the arches, and then you move back and score it. :ohnoes:

Very nice guide! This taught me the 4 directional spots in GOP, and has helped me improve my attracting skills.

 

I'm using this method to get my goal of 6 talisman staffs (air obtained, 5 more to go!). I'm using 50/50, due to my fail internet lagging me out when playing GOP. <_<

 

Will you also add information about the Repel wand later?

Hai Sonic! Erm, I dont think I have the time to add a basic repel section and its a bit more complicated since repel involves taps.

 

Oh yesh, Mod Emilee said this in the forums concerning the strange new angles:

 

"No, it's still in the hands of the Developer."

 

QFC: 74-75-560-59517085

 

Which basically means theyre going to probably take as long as it took them to fix the air-mind auto win glitch. Which means we wont see anything solid done about it for months. Eep!

As I read in the guide, doesn't the new angles make attracting into the altar easier? Since you only have to click once for the orbs to go in...

 

And, at the very least, add a barrier section. I find that inbetween the pillars and right in front of spawn points the best place to put these.

Lulz, I don't really think this is a WIP anymore. I think that it's good for the General Guides now.

 

It's very detailed, you explained all the good strategies (that I use), and you pointed out some interesting facts! :D

Yep. This should probably be AOW'd... best guide on GOP ever (I'm not biased or anything).
