Ok I have been on a guild raid or two inside temple of veeshan and I must say I thought it was very cool. The colours are great and the mobs are all even yellow and red at lvl 60. I con warmly to everythingin the front two or three rooms but was looking for for the testing halls of veeshan...Well we found them and let me just say it was a mess [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] guarding the entrance is Zemm quads for 550+ and has a bad AE. happily I stat he con warmly to me as well but behind him is a room with two dragons side by side. These are the guards of testing halls and the are hard as hell...not too many HP's but they have a 1000 PBAoF cold based spell that tends to kill ppl by the hand full if you get both at the same time. Anyways, this zone is hella fun and I am going back this weekend [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]have fun tryign to break this place.

February 2001 - Sounds like he should be at the banner

June 2001 - He should be in front of the door to Halls of Testing.

Working on filling in the gap. If anyone has other stuff post it up. Not a big deal but it sort of does determine how breaking into HoT goes especially until the doors block assist.

it didnt even matter if you had all people on dragon facton. if the door was opened while you were fighting in HoT near the door, you would pull agro from the drakes outside. My guild was all dragon faction and we still got wiped when people forgot protocol and opened the door mid fight

it was standard practice on my server on live to /ooc safe to open door?
and you didnt open it till given the all clear

Bumping from the depths.

We had mobs aggro through doors again. Is there anything possible that could be done to make the door objects themselves block LoS aggro and swing with the door as it opens, to allow for LoS aggro?

I will get extremely immersed if we wipe because someone misclicks a door in HoT or some random CoV friendly person is walking around opening doors.

This should be the case for all doors in ToV. Nothing should aggro through them.

The griefing potential here is huge [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

We're going to need to do something more than just fixing door LOS

[Daldaen]

I'd prefer to have the underlying issue fixed and then consider how we will handle the grieving thing as a player base. It's limited mainly to creeping around Iktaiar/Eashen area and HoTesting break in / crawling mainly. I don't see too much griefing happening in these areas though, mostly just mistakes leading to wipes

Is that the fundamental basis for intentional griefing on p99?

[Daldaen]

Uh, no. I was just saying the more likely scenario is random applicant A clicks on a door and aggro mobs behind the door because he didn't know better.

That sort of scenario would happen far more than an evil dragon allied person opening doors to cause aggro on others - which if it became common enough I'm sure the GMs would do something about.

[Treats]

ITK would aggro through the door sometimes when running a CoV aligned player for CoH to North.

No idea what caused it though - sometimes he would, sometimes he wouldn't.
