SRo AC FTE clarification

[Jimjam]

I was under the impression that it was first player to get on the aggro list of a mob was the 'FTE'. So starting cast a spell doesn't count, but landing a spell, body aggro, etc do.

Is that correct?

There is a PH to camp. On live you could camp the AC in South Ro because of lists and mutual respect but here you have dedicated 60 AC farming alts camped in South Ro on a permanent basis who will try to FTE.

One of the issues that make it unclassic is its still much easier to camp than on live. On live there was no known time frame, no known ph's, no known 33.xx timer that you could track.

If they wanted to model the 'experience' rather than the hard unknown mechanics it should be rewritten to be completely unknown like it was on live.

Would result in less farming as like live you'd have to sit in South Ro both day and night till you got it, not exp during the day log on at night and farm.

Out dated info. Now it just spawns at 9pm regardless of what you may have been doing to other mobs in the zone.

Your shitting me? Okay definitely wrong then. Question then? Why when I was checking out the Sro camp with my level 1 troll were there a bunch of level 60's running run killing shit?

I /yelled out Hail an ancient cyclops and some 55 druid goes "lol lies, I have a female derv on track"? They going by old code?

At 9PM there will be a random spawn from a list. 10% of the time it will be the AC, the other 90% of the time basically the normal S Ro trash.

So you can guess if AC didn't spawn by whether something else spawned at 9pm.



I did once kill an AC, when I got a tell from an angry 30 something saying it was their main, they had been killing PHs for ages. I explained them they (and the wiki) were wrong, how it works now and let them loot the ring anyway. This kind of thing makes a bigger difference to such a person than for my nth alt. Like even if they were lieing about their 30 being their main, their sperg out meant they deserved it to me. Hopefully he spergs out every time he doesn't get his way after I reinforced this behaviour [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


Red stories: First attempt at AC I was winning against an in range SK, but an out of range druid came along and basically turned the battle. Later, a Thunderdome just MQd me one for free. It's swings and roundabouts on Red, I guess.

Yes that is correct.

This sounds like every pull on Rathe giants. You basically leave EQ and enter a toxic WoW community when you go there. It is amazing how many level 55+ losers show up and just take all the spawns. I know if they were better players they would be at sea furies or killing better mobs so I kind of feel bad for them.

If you think things are petty at Hill giants I'm confused why you'd think Seafuries would be any better.

It's at least level appropriate.

"because they're taking MY MOBS"

welcome to the non-instanced world of eq

seafuries are a massive shitshow. if the island is busy, HGs could be a better time investment as long as you can get all of the spawns

Huh? I've never played an instanced game. And they never beat me to a spawn because staff of temp flux instant aggro.

If I'm doing the same thing to farm plat at 55 as people do at 45 then I might reconsider my routine. That's all.

I know where the spawns start at and have instant click aggro. Plus hard to KS wizard. Still annoying when they send their epic pet to beat on a rooted, snared, and damaged mob. Defend it if you will.

I'm pretty sure we are talking about South Ro where is it a random spawn with no clear PH.

The other is a camp with a line.
