working as intended move to resolved please

Not working as in classic though and thats what this server is about, classic vanilla, kunark and velious. If a dev pops in and says they have no plans to change it then I'll move, or if you can link a post to that effect. Otherwise I'll leave it and perhaps theý'll give it another look. Especially if there will be a green server it'd be a shame not to have the core classic elements and this is a core classic mechanic for kunark and vel.

Yay.

Yep. Should be doable soon.

This may be up there at top of my list.

I love you.

P.S Corpses are still 7 days regardless of whether your online or not. Online decay was -7 hours of the 7 days per 1 hour online. 7 days if not online. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

how would this work if I put a snare or a dot on a mob..as long as the effect is on it should keep the aggro even with lazy since else I could just super dot a summoning mob , gate out of range wait till mob is dead and just finish it since this lazy thing would prevent a mob from attacking/summoning me or ?

When you dotted a mob and got out of lazy aggro the mob would deaggro, go back to whatever it was doing and regen fast. If your dot was still on it and you reentered the aggro radius it'd reaggro you and your dot would start working again but his hp would be probably full given the speed of unaggroed regen. Aggro always stays on the mob and any mob that he pathed by would also have aggro on you meaning random aggro for as long as you stayed in dungeon or till you FD cleared it.

Oh on a summoning mob I'd imagine it'd summon you. King in Chardok would sometimes gate from zone in and summon peeps and that was outside his lazy aggro, it just won't bother to chase you across the zone.

Mobs would completely mem blur after 10 minutes as long as you do nothing to reagro. Mobs outside of lazy agro would not summon, atleast i know for a fact that overking wouldnt summon you from zone in. I solo'd him at zone in all the time and he never summoned me when he gated.

You might be right about the summoning thing, would make this quote from the OP make sense:

The thing is to pull to a place where the banishing point is in Trak's lazy aggro range and getting him into summoning mode before the first trak touch lands.

Regarding the memblur after 10 mins, I don't think its correct. When I did the research for this there were a lot of comments about lazy aggro spreading the hate all over the zone and the only way of clearing it logging or zoning. They were referring to wandering mobs though which don't reset at spawn? or do they?. For static mobs who return to spawn I think aggro would be dropped as it normally is when mobs return to spawn.
