Mayong Mistmoore

[Yoite]

wow, really? What will the forums QQ about next.

instead of QQing on the forums, lvl up, get organized, and kill him.

It's just a game people, just play it.

Quick points.

Raids:
I hate to say it, but Naggy does seem pretty easy. Granted, when I did him in live (w/ a pickup group) it went ZEEEEEEEEERG! Now, it involves proper buffs, dodging AEs, etc. When people know what they are doing it's relatively simple to kill any boss.

That being said, all the mob strats are known. We know where to pull, where to hide, what to expect. And if we don't know exactly (ie: MM), we have ideas, and we can "test" them by engaging prior to the raid to check for abilities, AEs, spawns, etc. IB is getting a lot of hate, which is undeserved.

Hate:
I know there are still people on this server that hate me because I "was" a high lvl on the server, and I know they hate me (/petition zomg jify is speed hacking cause he was the first to go from Freeport to Qeynos!!!). But there are some people that respect me and know that I am a fair and honest player. IB is no different. They are being as fair and as honest as they can be. GM's watch all of our kills, ensure mobs are working correctly, to avoid stuff like "IB hacked MM because I didn't kill him in live!". If mobs aren't working correctly, they can adjust the mobs, repop zones, etc. (In a way, we are making sure these encounters work properly for you! That's right! YOU! The haters!) How many of you have been peacefully exping and have had a random IB member run by and load you up with loot? I saw it on my ranger a few times, and have in turn started handing out goodies myself.

We aren't the assholes on the server. We just want to raid. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Its amazing what people believe unless they are told otherwise. All it takes is like 5 posts to get to favoritism or speculative posting. :T

Let me preface this by saying the underlying tone of favoritism for any guild is being conjured or misinterpreted. A lot of the decisions I make without even knowing the in-game guilds. Let me assure you, GM involvement or decision making that is my own has nothing to do with your guilds.. I don't even get a chance to play a character, much less learn all your abbreviations.

Yet hes in game and IG is allowed to kill him and get a 12/22 dagger?

He was up for like 44 days. Not sure how this relates to any guild.

does not belong on any server that claims to provide the classic experience, because Mayong Mistmoore and his loot was not part of the classic experience.

As far as Mayong is concerned, yes he was part of classic. From research, mostly what I read about him was he would cause zone disruption, kill/lag everyone, crash Mistmoore, and then hang out at the zone line. (Not that hard to do, I think I could make it happen)

He was rumored to drop the Fanged Skull Stiletto (the dagger mentioned here) "very early in release."

The day before the server launched, I spawned lots of raid mobs in gfaydark and allowed the remaining testers to fight them. I heard NO complaints about Mayong and people seemed to think it was a great fight. Also, no one complained about him until he was killed.. really guys, almost 2 months?

Not accusing anyone of favoritism, I literally just read "open the planes up, some people already have planes gear" (to paraphrase) and am curious as to the story behind that (I'm fairly new to the server).

Sure, here's the story. During the last crunch week of testing and pre-launch DB preparation, I forgot to disallow a few zones of having access. Just a few numbers in different fields that hadn't been changed for nearly a year.. sorry. When it was discovered that players were there, the zones were disabled for the next restart, and locked. It was my decision for the loot to be kept.. they were open, its my fault. I have no idea how to otherwise give these players back their time to put in. (?) So.. as far as the planes, whomever is looking for someone to blame, you can blame me.

My Solusek Ro quested Shovel of Ponz was removed two weeks after the server was launched because it was not supposed to be open (due to a communication problem between GMs/programmers).

Your Broom of Trilon was removed by me, yep. You failed to mention that I gave back all your quest components for it, though :P In this instance, I was able to give you back your "time". In the instance of the planes.. I didn't have this option.

I know the forums are for discussion, but its disheartening at times to have to type large paragraphs just to explain myself :T I do it for you guys. <3

I don't have any problem with IB downing mobs first. I do have a problem with everyone getting their 49 spells before everyone else! /rude jify [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

edit:

Obviously sarcasm, Jify is cool. And yes Nilbog gave me back my items which I greatly appreciate! I do think something needs to be done about said planar gear being in game though [You must be logged in to view images.

If any guild would have killed MM, they would have gotten the hate IMO, it's just that IB did it first. He was never on live, except for GM events. If it would have been a GM event, I'm sure noone would have even complained about the dagger dropping.

But being a mob that can be killed over and over (if he's that way), that goes against the whole classic thing.


Edit: apperently I was wrong, and he was on live, but I know he was patched out very quickly.


Also, you say fair and honest, but what's fair about IB having items no one else can get, even if it's just 4 items from Sky? Wouldn't the honest thing to do would be destroy them to keep the semblance of "classic" at this point?

What Live Mayong Mistmoore? ... ...before I set foot in MM

The problem is you are basing it on what you "know". He was on live for like the first month. He was trackable from zone in if you had high enough tracking and he was occasionally TRAINED TO ZONE IN.

Grats IB. I think it's f*cking rad, and accurately recreates my classic experience as I live vicariously through the ubers while I spend weeks deciding what class to roll.

I don't have anything against you Pyrocat, but when you say the right people and the right gear... There were illegal characters at your first Nagafen kill. None of you have the right gear to do it legitimately.

We killed him on Sunday without those pricks. We had no idea of knowing that they cheated, other than the suspicion of,"Wait, who the fuck are Cohort and Draum?" which arose in my mind immediately.

Until it was confirmed, IB had no way to prove that these guys were complete donks.

i have one question about mayong.... according to ooc chat right after kill, a gm was talking about taking a deathtouch... now, if he walked up to the mob, and got dt'ed by accident, no problem. but what it seemed like from chat is gm took the DT on pull... which seems retarded
