And one more thing...

Anyone who was ever on Sirran's hate list when he died should have taken a permanent and irreversible hit to their plane of sky faction [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

But I'm not that mean.

How bout this?

Dueling on isle 1 should aggro the quest givers as well.

Sounds like another patch full of stuff to ruin peoples fun, I sure am glad we are recreating every classic mistake though.

I'll fix this for you instead of washing your mouth out with soap and water

Hmmm

^ I blame Ambrotos for all of the above coming out! Couldn't leave well enough alone!

(Greatly increase quest giver social aggro range or w/e, should do the trick)

- Never duel in the Plane of Sky because the mobs do not like it and will attack you if you do so.
- Do not use any AE on the first island. This is because the quest hall is right under it and using AE will aggro the quest hall monsters, which you do not want to happen

It is generally never a good idea to either duel or cast area effect damage or stun spells in Plane of Sky. On the first island, dueling will aggro the quest based efreeti’s underneath in the quest room who will begin death touching players and wiping out the raid very quickly. Dueling on Gorgalask Island will cause passing MOBs to consider you free game and will begin attacking you immediately. Area effect spells also have similar effects. Even area spells with very small ranges like the enchanter line of color stuns will aggro things like the efreeti’s under Key Master Island. Another thing to take note of are weapons that proc area effect damage or stuns as these will be just as dangerous. As a general rule, you never know what area effect spells or dueling will aggro, so try to avoid it if you’re not one-hundred percent sure.

WORDS OF CAUTION:

The Sky inhabitants have a peculiar notion of aggro. Sirran will assist mobs that are fought next to him (you don't want that, Sirran hits for 2000). Also, all the efreeti will attack you if you either duel close to them or unintentionally cast a non player friendly spell on someone (ie, bards AoE damage on group, etc...). Same is said for quest hall on island, do not duel and be careful of AoE on island one.

May want to watch out if you're dueling. You can get aggro from nasty
places. The best thing to do is die to Sirran. That way you'll have more
than 10 minutes to res plus you wont get things like a train of all the
genies from the quest room. Although it's kinda funny seeing them all
come up and whack the people dueling.

...

Get yourself killed where you are, duel can be a bad idea, I hear it agros
all sorts of fun stuff.

OH, I KNOW that is classic. We used to use it to cause corpses we could summon across the islands easier. We had more people than keys so leaving corpses was common practice.

/duel PUNCH RAWRRRRRRRRRRRR Loading, Please wait...

I'm just trying to figure out how to make it work.

Posted a thread in bug reports just to be safe.

Considering that they also aggro if detrimental spells are cast on a pc by another pc, can you make them like city guards? We certainly don't want them assisting or attacking NPCs though.

[Nirgon]

Right, even if the other player is protected (because of not being in pvp level range, or not in a duel with you) .. it will still piss off the npcs. It looks for hostile action taken, not whether or not they resist, it misses, or are invuln/protected.

Shit is gettin' real classic in this thread.

I think it's better to go ahead and just recreate as closely as possible.

Yeah, there's a laundry list of things that are obnoxious and it'd probably be more fun without, but making decisions on stuff like that is the first step towards just deciding things on a whim based on what you think the game should and shouldn't have.
