IDK specifics on emp but it's probably similar to Seru. Seru open world you send someone up with key and then they aggro and you find a spot where you can spot heal / bard song / buff from the door area. If you do it right he'll warp to zone in for a bit before warping back and if you tag him in time then bob's your uncle. edit: might have been a 2 person chain aggro that we did it with, maybe bard with DA song and a cleric or something? I forget.

The banning for solo pulling Seru is probably just a game of telephone from some drama when Luclin was current. There's a hole at the top of the dome he's in and people found a way up there. They also found there's a spot to stand at the lip of the whole where you can nuke, stay in combat and his AI can't handle it and stays still. The people that were caught doing it ate a temp ban and a roll back. Luclin was terrible for pathing loop holes like that. I know there was a similar one in Grieg's, Umbral Planes and the Vampire Castle. If a caster was on the spot and maintaining aggro the mobs would even ignore melee beating on them.

Pet class like SK/Necro goes up and makes a pet in Emp room. Leaves/gets COTH'd back to raid waiting in the room that is below/closest to Emp room (rhag 1 or 2? I don't remember). From there, target Emp (assist someone else who is up there or just never lose the target), send pet to attack, wait for Emp!

Pet's can't be sent on a mob that is over 300 yalms (our guild's term for in game distance units!) away or something like that. I was trying to do stuff on Test to get Master Vule to zone in, which you used to be able to do, because that puts you well over the 1200 yalms that the DT from the gargoyles does. I couldn't get him to get down from his area because I couldn't get a pet to attack him, and by the time I made the 5 second run from the top of his area to the zone in door, he'd reset even with dots or weird stuff going on. In any case, even if it did work the way you're describing it would also pull the 8 guards along with Emp, just not immediately, and trying to deal with that is often a clusterfuck. Emp solo to zone in, Seru to his first floor, drat near every VT boss to zone in w/o doing any trash is possible, and not particularly difficult as long as you have the correct classes to set it up. It'll probably all get fixed soon since people are posting a storm about it and Agnarr is DBG's darling lovechild at the moment and gets logical changes to instances that Phinigel begged for months to get and never did. When Agnarr gets the Esoteric Medallion mobs added to the Storms raid instance, I'll be doubly sure of this!

I drag the cursor along the edges, but can never get the icon to move the whole box -inside, outside, or around them. No - they are not locked. The only way I'm able to move them is to use window--> arrange, and pick one of the preset locations. But none of them mesh with my UI setup. You can always move a chatbox by dragging/resizing each side of the chatbox, so to speak. For example, drag the left side to the left, then the right side to the left, and you have no moved the whole window to the left. A bit cumbersome, I know. It's probably configurable in the XML, related to the type of window or border it uses. I'll take a look at it some day.

They fixed a bunch of ANCIENT loopholes as Phinny was progressing. That was one, to force people on Phinny to do actual progression. Another was the LDON strat of having your group be level 1s or offline or whatever so it gave you like a level 20 LDON that you could run through quicker to work towards the like 300+ runs you need to max your charm aug. Now you have to do it legit (aka, instead of only like 8% of the pop bothering with, now only 0.01% of the pop bothers with it).

I went to kill Zun for the Tacvi key last night and managed to get into his area without a key by being banished to the jail cells through door aggro. I then used an aon to get out of the cell and kill him.

I wonder if they fixed the SK Shadowstep through locked doors as well. Small races can still crouch wiggle through the small hole in the, well, Hole entrance to avoid using a key, I did that a bunch when Agnarr first went live.

Yeah, they really just need to remove locks on doors X expansions later or if you're X levels higher than the zone intends or some such. Although honestly we're probably lucky they haven't shut down the game yet.

Just curious, how many goons are still bumping around Agnarr? Ever since Luclin I've been too non committal to pick a main and get some AA points so I'm just rolling more alts. Latest is a rogue and it's my first pure melee class and more fun than I expected. Has anybody here soloed much as a rogue? I noticed you can sometime strafe through a mob fast enough to land a backstab before it turns to face you. Curious if it's possible to do consistently if anyone has any idea what the trick is. Also looking at poison and wondering if the AA to speed up the apply time makes them worth a drat?

Still playing Agnarr, loving it. Enjoying it more than I thought I would, since I originally quit when it released back in the day. Couple goons in the guild (didn't know they were goons). Bout to hit VT soon.

Seems like nerfing a pure quality of life item that require a ton of faction grind to earn (has been around since always?) is a pretty lovely idea. I might make a bad decision and roll on the new server once, I've always wanted a rogue or necro. At the same time I wonder how bad of a time it would be to just 2box / duo with mercs through classic zones till I got bored on a live server with mercs. Leveling is really the best part of the game, and I always burn out of EQ raids real fast.

If you have access to charm or undead charm the quest becomes completely trivial. I just went and did it for the first time on my enchanter. I walked up, charmed the foreman, handed him a jade and was done in 10 seconds. Still it's a really dumb change considering how long travel time crossing kunark zones already is. I think I'll make a character on the new server but also think I'll burn out fast on the slow xp rate. Also the crowding in popular zones is a real shitshow when the server is busy and limited to classic. I'd probably make a druid just so I could make groups and port people to unpopular dungeons for leveling.

MF_James posted:Druids are amazing hth. As great as druids are, they only really complement silk casters well in a 2 box scenario. If you main one, you really need to either enjoy hours upon hours of soloing until around GoD (unless you have access to raid tier drops around end of Luclin or PoP), or have a good group of friends who will bring you along. I can't *not* main druid as I really love the class and nothing else in gaming has given me the same feeling of satisfaction as playing my druid since, but just go in with your eyes open. You're not a cleric, or a wizard, or a shaman, or a bard. You're sort of all 4, but lacking the things that make each of them desireable. A raid needs 1, maybe 2 good druids and you're 3rd on the list of desireable healers, maybe second if there's an enchanter on hand.

I dunno I regularly saved raids as my druid and parsed really loving high on healing charts because I knew how and when to land heals, though I brought other stuff to the table to save raids, such as high agro spells so I could kite things or tank for a few seconds before dying while real tanks pulled agro, post PoP druids were gods, prior to that chloroblastlol. Again, it's one of those things where player makes the class, if you're a good player and play a druid, you're way more useful than a bad player playing a shaman/cleric

You're absolutely right. I had a similar experience as my guild's main druid for many expansions from classic through DoDh. I played main druid on Combine, Fippy, and Phinny era progression servers. I saw the announcement about the new one and have been keeping half an eye out for some friends to pop up saying they want to do it all over again. I figured I'd toss in a reply here regarding druid, but it looks like you're well versed and know what to expect.

I was thinking of doing enchanter/druid because I have grown addicted to the power of enchanter and resent its absence. May be able to power through a slower xp rate by working in zones I can double charm. Really considering adding in a Mage since I have another account to use but god drat that class is boring. Just thinking about mages is boring

Yeah the expac after DODh is when I stopped, but I assume it would have remained the same going further, people are just bad at playing. We had like 4 warriors in our guild, it was a euro guild but there were people from everywhere so they just spoke english, the 4th warrior "tank" didn't speak english and would frequently fight our main tank for agro... from behind the mob, and when he ended up needing to tank he'd flip the mob into the raid, it was hilariously disastrous. We learned to work around it because the guild just didn't kick people, despite being #1 on the server we were a casual as gently caress guild, it was amazing when he quit. Half our clerics were garbage as well and would run themselves oom all the time by like 30-50% MF_James fucked around with this message at 10:22 on Feb 17, 2018 |
