Game Mechanics: Game breaking raid issue: Sirran the Lunatic

[Nirgon]

This NPC should not be charmable due to very very high spell resists.

If you think these are all "Game Breaking Exploits", it probably would have been smart to post them in the "Exploit" forum.

Also a quick search would have revealed that most of these have been posted and debated about before and proved correct/wrong one way or another.

I played EQ Classic and know fully well everything I just posted needs to be addressed.

Please explain to me why you think any of what I posted is wrong other than it may remove the ability to exploit PvE on these servers.

Thanks!

Most of us played classic. If you read the giant Read before posting thread in this forum, you'd know your memories don't consitute evidence for a change. Go out and find some old site/threads thats mention what you want changed and post it, or nobody is going to even look for more than a second at this. Playing EQ is never enough, and for good reasons.

You could have searched first as well like I mentioned.

Thread regarding Sirran and how he IS charmable: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ghlight=sirran

Might as well post your concrete evidence there rather than just saying "I played EQ I know how it was change it!"

You also don't need to put Game breaking exploit fix now in your title, but thats just my two cents.

People are already doing it, have been doing it forever and its gamebreaking sir. Not like I let a cat out of the bag.

I had people link things like the blue crystal staff should have been dropping in classic using sites like that, which is clearly ridiculous.

[bizzum]

It sure makes you look more credible though, and its the way things have always been aroudn here. After 5000 posts I thought you might have learned something.

You sure didn't let the cat out of the bag, I'll give you that much!

Why does this guide mention using rapture and dictate on mobs in sky but not on Sirran?

Does this guy ever show Sirran being sent in to kill mobs? No. Not in the previous example either. It's a misinformed player at this EQrunes site and unfortunately it was implemented here.

Having raided this zone in late Kunark and throughout early Velious, I know for a fact this was not a charmable mob.

The efforts made to trivialize PvE in an effort to claim skill in classic Everquest here can be pretty depressing.

We'll I'm not the judge of whether his info is false or not, but its more concrete than it simply "not being in a guide".

The bee dictate thing is a good idea though!

[Nirgon]

I'll have you know I received this same kind of responses in threads supporting shaman dots not stacking, and charmed animals being able to dual wield (and consequently proc) weapons =). I do, in fact, know so!

Good luck! My input ends here for now. Concrete evidence is pretty nice though @_@
