FTE shouts

[Kagatob]

Question for Dr. Nilbog. Is FTE policy going to remain a thing when Velious eventually releases? I have concern for those quested items that need to be handed into the raid encounters by people who have allied faction with them? How to do this if they will constantly be sniped on spawn?

Turning in quest items has nothing to do with FTE policies. To this date, you will still have a problem finding Dain, Yelinak, or Tormax spawned on eqlive.

I'll have to respectfully disagree. On live they didn't use FTE, if you had your raid force there first you had the mob, this means that if you have players in the guild raiding the mob who have appropriate faction, the guild can wait the 30 seconds it takes someone to hand in their item before the guild engages. I know this having seen it done multiple times on the Bertox server.

First guild with sufficient force to engage the npc.. was the 'code of engagement' we had on erollisi marr. If you're saying people would stand around and wait for other people to turn in items, I don't believe it. Should they? Sure, that's a nice thing to do. Nothing like that has ever been enforceable from live GMs to my knowledge.

Took me months to do a hand in to dain on live shit was awful.

thanks, i know i been bugging all gm's for this

agree on needs a disengage since a monk could tag, and flop ect

the list of mobs look fine


thanks for the hard work

[Servellious]

If no disengage is given its time to spam and flop it's a double edged sword

[Servellious]

A message upon death might save gm time if a disengage isn't given and people don't want shenanigans to prevail

[nilbog]

The following npcs have this functionality as of next patch:

• lord nagafen
• lady vox
• cazic thule
• trakanon
• innoruuk
• faydedar
• talendor
• gorenaire
• severilous
• venril sathir
• maestro of rancor
• noble djorn
• a dracoliche

What will happen?

Players within a reasonable distance will receive a message stating $npcname engages $playername!

i.e. (Lord Nagafen) : everyone near the fire giant castle would receive a 'Lord Nagafen engages Nilbog!' message, in yellow, if I was first to engage.

The outdoor dragons will function the same, but at a much greater distance.

I hope this small addition helps to alleviate some of the problems in determining first to engage. If it causes problems, it can be removed.
