DA shouldn't prevent stuns until May 2001. http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=82656


I would think that it would make it some what more difficult to get the second DA off.



I still say the best way to fight the Chardok AE mafia is to set up a permanent PUG at the front castle.

Do you think a bard swarm kite is also an exploit? because it's the exact same thing. someone running around agroing half a zone and AE'ing it down. Only here, 1 person gets all the exp instead of 1 group splitting all the exp.
THAT is more 'game breaking' then a chardok AE group getting exp.

people just get pissed about chardok groups, but i really have no idea why... i've AE'ed half of Karnor's on live with my warrior and a shaman duo, had the shammy duel me and slow me, i ran around the entire zone agroing shit all over, ran back to zone in, disced and AE'ed them all down with an Earthshaker sword.

Just one more example of AE'ing an entire zone down without "exploits" just agroing everything you see.

Is it easier done when you have faction? hell yes, can you do it without faction? prolly not in such large numbers. Does that make it an exploit? no it doesn't.

like i said, you can do it in almost all zones if you wanted to do it. Do people? no.. why? because it's easier in chardok, and the the setup there is perfect for it. still doesn't make it an exploit.
Depends on your definition of "exploit."

like i said. anyone can do it, and running around the zone agroing everything is not an exploit, it's either really dumb, or smart (in this case) to do it.

people agro loads of trains all the time in every zone (KC trains anyone?) that doesn't make it an exploit, and people could stun lock and AE down those trains in KC just as easy as in chardok, however, no one does because there are always loads of people exping in KC, in chardok, this is not the case at all.
It's always deserted there except for ae groups, no one ever exps there for a regular exp group, and if they do, AE groups don't ge to do AE pulls as per Server/sirkan's rules becaue it interferes with the normal exp groups ability to have a camp and would train the shit out of them.

so you can very easily mess with ae groups in chardok by setting up an exp group somewhere if you really desired too. easy fix as well to prevent AE groups, but still no one bothers to do this. Why? maybe cuz the exp/drops/camps that you can do with 1 normal group there are shit /shrug who knows.

The drops weren't shit until the AErs exploited the fuck out of it. The Stave of Shielding used to go for 50k!

Also, there are two things that make it an exploit IMO: the lack of lazy aggro (mobs should give up if they are too far away) and the fact that no ones PC or internet connection could handle blowing up 100+ sarnaks. If PBAE spells were capped at 30-40 targets I would have no problem with Chardok or Bards or whatever else. I mean P1999 is already fucked on this front but I really hope they will cap AE spells this way when they launch the 'real' server.

if you think mobs not having a leash and should warp back to their spawn points when the puller is out of range to shake agro, then NToV would be a MUCH better place to raid at for every other guild then the big guilds that use an even more 'exploitative' pull method to pull named dragons to the zone in in ToV.

i wish they did put leashes on mobs like they later added to EQ on live and games like WoW, peeps would actually have to fight mobs in NToV etc almost at their spawn spots instead of pulling shit to the ntov zone in training everyone else that happens to zone in etc.
