AE Exp Group Sign-Ups (Discord Server)

Naw

That was savage.

Bump & Update -- We've successfully been AE'ing in Velk and Chardok. Something goes wrong in Skyfire, exactly what I can't tell you because I don't have the patience to sit and figure it out.

So, still taking names for in-game communication and still would like people to sign up for Discord push notifications. We're light on enchanters, blasties and healies are easy to come by.

I'd also like to experiment in HS, so please include whether or not you are key'ed there.

Tankoos!

Skyfire AoE was nerfed back in the day, it's not gonna work. IIRC certain mobs were flagged as dragons and thus immune to stun.

AE groups were nerfed for a reason. I can see whining I'm the future, when the pbae spells get changed to 6 targets....

Good job OP!

AE groups were not nerfed. AE'ing vast sections of a zone designed to host raids during the era its' content was "end game" was nerfed.

I'm not gonna do a whole citation and get into the granular detail, but basically the patch reasoning mentioned things like not being able to AE ~140 mobs on a dial up/dsl/early era cable modem connection.

People "complaining" is not why AE spell scripts were nerfed. People complain all day every day, about this or that or him or her. They'll continue to complain. *shrug*

The show goes on. Tonight will be more grouping -- free bump for replying to the opinion submission -- find me online to ask questions or join! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I haven't set up a twitch yet... I do however have the GeForce recording software. The name is escaping me right now, but if and when I get a group into HS for this I'll gladly record/post for you! It's gonna be messy learning it, but I like it that way :P

-That- would make sense. Thank you!

Sure thing. I'm not here to argue. Good luck with your AEing...

I'm not going to speak too much to the technological reasons being given for AE nerf, as it was a general feeling amongst the staff, not just one or two people. However, there were additional reasons that changes needed to be made. Chardok AE trivializes XP Gain with loads of free time inbetween, which goes against the spirit of the entire game, not just Classic EQ. It's also one of the only spots you can do this, which is significantly unfair as a whole. Bard AE kiting also continues to cause issues with zone disruptions.

So while you may disagree with one or two of the reasons, there's certainly enough people here agreeing that the change overall needed to be made.
