Spells: Feign death

[Slave]

The patch notes were very undescriptive. Could you please explain what this change does in terms of game mechanics since you seem to know? Because I remember FD working on Live.

as a necro, i'm not getting a "your enemies have forgotten about you" message, ever. Also, after a successful FD I /q'ed out because of said problem, and came back dead in the middle of TT where i am bound, promptly was aggroed by a mob, and died again.

FD is supposed to stick when you go LD, that was a known tactic when there was no way you could make a pull without bringing half the zone with you.

Was the "your enemise have forgotten about you" message implemented later in the game or was that in by Kunark? On live I never FDd on my monk long enough to see it.

Time-based aggro clear wasn't implemented until much later.

Fixed, pending update:

The issue where you DOT a mob -> FD -> /q, then come back either oom or dead.

This is an issue. On this server /q while FD changes your status to be like sitting/standing. On live you could /q out safely even with dots on mobs without any issue, if the fd memory is causing them to come after you on p99 it needs fixing. /q was always the guaranteed way to have every mob forget you when you logged back in.

On live the aggro would linger for a few seconds after a successful FD. Technically you're FD and the mobs wouldn't hit you, but to completely lose the aggro you had to wait a small bit of time (seconds) before you could get up again, regardless of LoS or aggro radius.

Certainly shouldn't be happening for minutes, though.

FD post kunark worked like this:

on STATIC mobs: mob would 100% forget about you once it returned to its home point.

on roaming mobs: mobs had a 25% chance to fully forget about you

All mobs while they are roaming back: 25% chance to forget about you.

Some people believed that when mobs were roaming back, your chance to FD them off increased the more times you FD'ed. IE, 2 FD's = 50% chance, but i never believed this was accurate.

This is definitely the way I remember it and the way you'll find it explained in MANY class discussions.

There should also be a 'your enemies forget about you' message which means they have for certain forgotten about you, but I don't remember how long it took (was long enough that most people found /q'ing and logging back in quicker than waiting for the message).

"Your enemies have forgotten..." is a timed, client-based message. It has no real meaning on P99.
