FTE Shout Behavior

[Handull]

Interesting behavior I noticed today:

[Mon Aug 12 13:24:47 2013] Talendor has been slain by Bugaman!
[Mon Aug 12 13:24:47 2013] Talendor shouts 'How amusing. You foolish mortals actually think to challenge me? Very well, then, I shall enjoy searing the flesh from your bones!'
[Mon Aug 12 13:24:47 2013] Talendor engages Bugaman!

All the same time stamp, but yes, they occurred in that order.

Doesn't seem like that is working as intended to me.

Edit: Gore did not do this, she had a normal death message and no death engage message.

Overseer of Air does not have an FTE Shout message. Assuming Hand of Veeshan doesn't as well.

Is the Talendor engage message zone wide yet?

[Handull]

Not sure if I zoned in before Tal was tagged, and if I did, I wasn't looking for the message. But it sure was funny getting FTE after he was dead.

[Funkutron5000]

No zone wide FTE shout, just his standard zone-wide shout when he aggros anyone.

Must have been temporary lag or something. Tested it again and it worked fine.

These were not added. Is there a need for them?

Next patch.

Generally not, but there have been times during the last few Dojo/OOA/Hand kills that two guilds have been racing to kill them first, including failed pulls and wipes, so if its easy to put in, I think it is warranted. They are 7 day mobs.

UDP packets don't necessarily arrive in order.

Happened again with Sev today, made me laugh with people shouting membler shenanigans.

Just reporting for due diligence.

I've never seen it before today at a TMO raid. I guess it just looked suspicious since FE decided to jump in and try to KS our dragon as it was being pulled in.

[Tasslehofp99]

What happened was we had FTE initially after divinity pulled to COM and someone pulled aggro off of our puller thinking that we were kiting but divinity had been previously engaged to sev which is why he was at COM area. Once sev was pulled off of our puller, he made the mistake of tailing sev in an attempt to fraps whoever pulled it off him. I guess whoever it was zoned, died, or feigned death which caused sev to turn at our puller who was still mistakenly tailing him (still fte at this point) still. Sev then charmed our puller, causing him to lose FTE. Blatant raid interference on the part of whoever tagged sev off, but we weren't able to determine who it was. We figured since a GM was in zone that it would have been easy to.figure out what happened. Instead you have tiggles and heebo posting bullshit lies on forums in an attempt to slander FE.

However this is the 2nd time this month sev has been tagged off of our puller, with no repercussions for the culprit.

Whoever tagged sev and didn't get a yellow fte message and ran off in the oppositr direction of tt/ej zone is guilty of raid interference, but without proof it matters not I guess. I just figured that info could be pulled from somewhere in database.

prove it

[Tasslehofp99]

prove it

I guess you just post before you finish reading, I already said we have no proof. I just figured that with accusations flying from tiggles and heebo, a gm would have looked into it some way (if there is a way even) or perhaps the GM tiggles claims saw us memblur sev saw the pull going down.


Either way, the bug report was in prior to sev spawning, Tiggles nd heebo should atleast edit their slanderous posts!

Ps I can't imagine what it would be like with 4+ guilds racing for an outdoor dragon cause tonight with FE/TMO/divinity was a clusterfuck.

please leave the drama for Server Chat and RnF. I only mentioned it in the context of a bug report here. I also told Sirken about it so that hopefully the Guide Staff can be made aware of the possibility of Death FTE Messages so that they don't get caught up thinking it was memblur trickery when it is just game mechanics.
