If a mob sees through walls in outdoor zones, does that mean they also path through walls? This is a question mostly for Gwence/anyone else on eqmac.

if you mean will they agro you from behind a wall out of LoS - depends on the zone I think, and how z-axis comes into play.
Highkeep I am kos, and it's an outdoor zone but I havent noticed agro from nobles unless you're los, this could be due to them having small agro radius though
PoHate you have probably 5-10 mobs agro upon port in no matter what, every time. Moving around in that zone is pretty treachorous.

if you mean do they run through the wall? - depends on zone pathing, often times yes, some zones no.

with indoor zones I've found bosses will run into a wall and stick for a few seconds then warp right on top of you

outdoor usually is open enough where they dont get stuck if there's an obstruction they usually are able to magically climb over the top of it.

1-where do you see any listing that zones were changed, AK is original EQ code locked in a time capsule, this has been confirmed on the sony website lol.

As I've never played on AK going to ask a simple question, which version of VP are they running over there? The original or the revamped?

2-It does gate, they all gate. But you're right about the HT thing, have not noticed more than 1 HT.

No Nexona doesn't as it is an SK. Remember mobs are supposed to follow the rules of their base class.

3- completely wrong, you're calling on knowledge from 8+ years or more, I'm using knowledge from 3 days ago.. defintetly can't avoid ae's at all.

Again I ask which Version of VP is running over there?

Veeshan's Peak - We have changed this zone to make it more appealing, particularly for those playing with one or two groups. We have removed the restriction against using gate in this zone and modified the zone population. Over all, the zone will be better to play in.

Veeshan's Peak!

With this revamp we have Updated the level and NPC list for the zone: Please note that this zone is now an elemental level zone! The entry quest to Veeshan's Peak has been changed. The original key quest has not been modified. However, the new entry quest uses the old key and offers an alternate quest to do instead of the original key quest.
Items in the zone are now of elemental planes quality.
Faction now matters: Dragons in Veeshan's Peak will now speak to players if you have the correct faction and can understand them.
New quests and lore: The dragons in Veeshan's Peak will now give players the option to acquire items through questing for them.
The zone is now an exp zone as well: Hunting in the areas before the dragons yields experience and loot.

It's the original.

Here it lists Nexona as a Necromancer:

Hoshkar -- Shaman
Xygoz -- Bard
Nexona -- Necromancer

AK VP is original, you cannot gate out, have zone out pads at nex and PD, otherwise corpsing out is only way. respawns are super fast as well on trash like 2 min or less.

I'll resign Nexona/Druusk/Xygoz gating for now.. Hosh/SW/PD definitely gate

Seru gate clicky works. It is 3 min on spawns iirc.

I do remember drakes losing interest and seeming to be tethered to their spawn locations in VP on AK.

Mobs used to also lose interest in PCs in Kunark and original EQ but on p99 mobs will chase you down from one side of the zone to the other no matter how much distance you put between you. I don't think they will fix that.

This isnt harmtouch, its dragon harmtouch..apparently it is different. Nex might not be a SK but it is def still a dragon.

Lucy indicates "Dragon Harm Touch" was not added until 2002.

If you take a look at its patch history, Dragon Harm touch actually wasn't added until '04, but it also says the name was changed from Harm Touch to Dragon Harm Touch in a little over 24hrs. We all know HT existed well before 2004 and 2002. Is it safe to say Nexona did HT prior to 2002/2004 but the spell name was only changed to reflect a differentiation to DHT in 2004? I'm a little torn on this, for a seemingly well documented game, EQ is so not well documented lol.

These are comments from 2000 talking about the fact that Nexona does HT. there is some speculation as to how much the Ht should hit for though the general consensus is because Nexona is lvl 65, her HT should hit for 651 similar to a PC HT.
