I was going to ask where it got it's name from, Oty = Oh thank you, and 'ugh' is a kid of, unimpressed sigh.
So the name strikes me as ironic, as it is one of the most pain in the ass creatures in the game.
Please let me know if my 'name theory' is right/wrong :)

each time you activate capacity you pay for it, even if you cancel.
the only time you get your quantum back is when you cancel a card being playd from your hand.

an exploitable bug where people can use abilities and still get the quanta back through lag/fast clickingHow does that happen exactly? Anyone with programming knowledge can explain?
How does the computer/program not stop something from happening immediately. Do computers have the ability to do things simultaneously and how does the program not just completely crash when something like that happens?
Even with multiple processors, doesn't "A" have to happen before "B" can take place?

I presume it has to do with using the ability, then clicking cancel before the program executes the command to make the cancel option disappear, so it has already used the ability but the person triggers the refund by clicking cancel after. This only works generally if you can make the game lag. Again, this isnt possible because of him fixing it though, or else I wouldnt post about it :P.So does that mean the exploit is still available for targeted spell cards, where you do get a refund?

I'd also like to point out that this problem is not limited to creatures; try using Lobotomizer and cancel its effect to see what happens there. Bottom line: plan ahead before taking action.The bottom line is, no refunds for any quanta spent except those used in playing cards. So creature abilities, weapon abilities, other permanent abilities all won't refund. And even if the cost is zero (after playing shard of readiness or for other reasons) you won't get to use the ability again.
I've also heard a different story about why this is; I heard that the lack of refunds is sort of a penalty zanz made for indecisiveness.
Post by: Nume on September 11, 2010, 01:43:19 am
Heh that reason came from a joke by Zanz in the past. Here is where he explained the reasons for the old delay and also said the reason for the no cancel option : http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,10878.msg153185#msg153185I'd also like to point out that this problem is not limited to creatures; try using Lobotomizer and cancel its effect to see what happens there.

I've also heard a different story about why this is; I heard that the lack of refunds is sort of a penalty zanz made for indecisiveness.
"P.S. : this is also the reason why creature's skills do not have a "real" cancel option; giving back the cost of the skill would create a huge array of fast click combos and it would force me to make the UI much less fluid to keep control of all the possible exploits.
It is not because, as commonly believed, I am punishing the player for a bad choice. I said something similar once in the flash forum, but I was joking, and someone mistakenly left his sarcasm detector in the microwave while nuking a smurfberry pop tart."

if you dont have a weapon, the spell will still resolve, but no weapon-turned-creature will be created, as is the case if you have a full creature slots. the weapon will simply vanish
think of it as a 'global' spell somewhat similar to Rain Of Fire / Plague / Pandemonium

Actually, you can still lose quanta from trying to play Flying/Animate Weapon. If you do not have a weapon, the quantum is still used.You do lose quanta to Animate Weapon.
Flying weapon, however, even though it makes the -1 animation, does not remove :air.
Post by: miniwally on September 11, 2010, 10:56:34 am
flying/animate weapon doesnt target and therefore doesnt check whether you have a weapon in your weapon slot or not. it is a unique ability that will simply replace a weapon with a creature version of that weapon (does not count towards destroy or steal which is why it can affect morning star/glory, protected weapons)Well it effects the weapon slot rather than the actual weapon.

This is probably the most important in decks such as the 'classic' FG rainbow deck (oty kills creatures -> skellies -> mutation) where there is a combo of abilities.
Triggering oty or druid's ability and cancelling it means that that ability cannot be used anymore for that turn, which sometimes cost an EM or even an entire battle.

How about blessing it? Or even Heavy Armor?yep. any HP buff except basilisk blood works really well with oty. Even basilisk blood could be useful if oty is adrenalined so that it recovers from the delay.
Post by: Blasting-Light on September 26, 2010, 03:18:01 pm
Basilisk blood could be usefull, but 6 turns, would need to adrenaline it after doing that. On the other hand, blessing gives some attack, with no waiting turns, the only problem is Reverse Time. :PHow about blessing it?

Who cares?

Otyugh, a name that brings fear to many, one that is mastered by few. The perfect form of Creature Control, able to tear down any material creatures that have less HP than it, which is not many. Once it starts nomming away, however, it can become almost unstoppable. Don't ask me how eating has to due with Gravity, but it is the main card (besides Momentum, maybe) that makes Gravity stand out as an element. Without it, we'd be stuck to Honey Charger rushes, but now, we have a backup that helps Mono Gravity's slowness not be as much of a factor. Just pair it up with Gravity Shield and start chowing down on the creatures with under 6 HP. This isn't the second-most used upgraded card for nothing...

6 gravity pillars
2 gravity shields
6 Otyoughs
6 gravity pendulums
6 photons (in case I don't have enough quanta for blessing)
and 6 blessings.
I can't show the image of my deck, because i don't know how :(
But when you use the Blessing on the Otyough, it really helps it in terms of taking out creatures that're really pissing you off, even in the beginning, I used Otyough+Blessing=3 creatures taken out in the first 7~ turns, and eventually, I do the same thing with another Otyough, just to keep the creatures from adding up too much. Then soon enough i'll have enough to batter the opponent to bits...

But actually it doesn't have the "o" before the ugh necessary for that pronunciation.
Linguistically, it could be two syllable: "Ot-yug" or three syllable: "Ot-ee-ug".
There is an English town called "Loughborough" pronounced: "Luff-bor-er". Some Australian friends were visiting and called it "Loo-ger-ber-oo-ger"

I've always treated the 'y' as silent in the pronunciation in my head: OH-tug
Not sure why but I suppose early on I was unsure how to treat the 'y' whether "yu" or "ee" so silent solved that irrelevant conundrum.
