Conning a mob as it dies
 

[Fri Dec 13 11:02:03 2019] It is futile to consider the dead...

I don't think I've ever seen that message before. I got it when I tried to con something the instant it died but before I lost the target. If you con a corpse, it gives you the timer until it poofs. If you con a living mob, it gives you the con. If you con something that's basically in the process of keeling over, you get philosophy.

Corpse rot timers are not classic.

As far as I know it’s always given that con message

I recall that message from classic - in fact, I recall it much more clearly than corpse timers, which I think weren’t added until later.

Interesting.

When I said I didn't remember seeing it before, I wasn't thinking that it wasn't classic, just that it was something new to my memory.

I wonder if corpse rot timers are a client issue.

it was a bug report years ago

Hah, that's cool.

wew good find. havent thought about or seen that message for a long time, but feels classic whereas knowing exact rot timers does not

Well, the classic way of doing it was to /time the death and let people know 'manually', it was even a raid role.

Let's get it done :)

Astuce

oops my classic nubliness is showing. tho i think you're all right!
