Game Mechanics: A Phase Spider in DN should be able to summon

[Brocode]

Thats pretty odd, if you look through history they swapped those spiders lvl between 47 to 50, 51 to 52, and 47 to 51 and from all the comments around there is only this guy talking about being summoned. would be nice if someone could check live and tell us.

I just did 5 minutes of research, and found quotes about summoning.

as I was running back to zone to my life I must have sprung a trap cause all these little beetles came up and killed me along with the 2 spiders summoning me like mad back and forth. that's how I died.

Don't try pulling these a long distance cause they will teleport after you and they will summon aswell. oh yea and you can't use any speed altering spells on them, snare, darkness etc...hope this helps [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If this is not legit, the change can be reverted. It was simply adding summoning to the level 51 variants of this npc.

It's an unpopular change because DN spiders are used by bards to PL toons through the 50's. But it does appear to be legit that these spiders could summon at 51.

Guess i found why they swapped lvl range from 51 to 52 towards 47 to 50 , most likely because this comment:

I was there yesterday and decided to go see what was droped cause the only things i saw was blood =( and all were blue to me 51 warrior. very easy kill we were there with one group of 50-60's then the rest of our friends showed up and they went down even faster. one thing if you start to go OTM toward Jaled Dar's shades room make sure to tell everyone not to use AE's. if he gets hit he will DT you. happend to a dumb druid in our raid, heirophants croak proc three times from same spot, all three different times he died..so in the end, these are all dark blue to 51.

On the post one a guy also says in 2002: (after someone says it may summon you if above 50)

As well as, I have never had one of these summon me.

just like the logs of Rygas showing a gate in 2003, thats a new one but out of era tho [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

we have contradictory statement but hey could be a nerf/update in between 2001 to 2002 and i am just trying to keep DN swarm alive, keeping bards there keep them away from other places at least.

afterall i believe blue is ready for some custom updates [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
