Revision as of 06:32, 5 April 2012
Sorry for my hasty edit. I was on the way to correct myself for special pathing circumstances when a conflicting better edit was made. The original article was still factually incorrect and that confused me. --Another 21:50, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- The original article probably did need some clarification, but I strongly believe that you're mistaken. (I just want to make something clear: the only way to prevent building destruction is to use a LOCKED hatch; otherwise they'll just move up to the level of the hatch, and then destroy it.) To confirm, I just released a caged troll into a chamber from which he could only exit up through a forbidden hatch-- a season later, he's still just running around without path. Every great once in a while, people report hatches being destroyed from below. Either there is inconsistent behavior (with forbidden hatches being only very occasionally destructible from below) or, more likely, people have forgotten to forbid their hatches. If anybody could catch a movie of a building destroyer destroying a locked hatch from below, there would be clear evidence that the consensus on hatches in incorrect, and it would justify a wiki edit-- so if you can catch on film the behavior you're describing, I'll be forced to eat my hat. I'm going to undo your edits, and try to introduce more specific and clear language into both this article and the building destroyer article. --Vasiln 22:34, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
