Not easy. But ya. I would like to get in the leashing for sure. Some of the takp mechanics are really nice.

Heh. Raiding guilds on Project 1999 would cry if it took more than 5 minutes to kill a dragon.

Not sure how sneak and fd interact. But can check what was different on takp. I know invis should assist in clearing fd. Sneak. Not that i ever knew of. Stand, invis with pre-nerf, and if mob didnt see thru invis, ur golden. I think lines between sneak and invis mechanics are too blurred.

NM thought you were saying sneak did blur.

I have been doing some pathing and parsing mobs in Luclin lately. I forgot how fun some of those zones are.

Have fun in Velious.

Space cats confirmed!!!!!

Most every boss has a safe or pseudo safe CotH bot location. TXD didn't. The DXVT CotH spot was right on top of a trap, so you needed 2-3 manly rogues to tank it while you CotH in a Tank, Slower and Cleric. Then you would inevitably aggro DXVT early because you're trying to CotH an entire raid behind some tiny pillar in his room.

Just need to fix chase distances and Seru/Emp zoneline pulls wouldn't happen (nor would ToV ones for that matter).

I loved luclin =) the last lv 60 expansion. I loved farming AA's in all my old favorite zones! Go luclin but never pop!

Leasing would be a game changer on P99.

I think Torven did some pretty robust testing of the distance per zone. Some of his findings were peculiar... like certain zones he marked down as a 200' leash range while others were 600'. And furthermore some mobs were unlimited like VP dragons while the trash in the zone leashes normally. Edit: here it is: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=39819

To get it correct would be a very big undertaking and you're still making some assumptions. But I think setting it to something like 600' for all zones would be an improvement over the current state.

This was only in Kunark/Velious zones per the old guides... on live all zones leash though.

[Haynar]

There were leashing distance changes from classic to AK era. 600 in most zones works. But some should also be like 1200. I did some bug fixes involved with leashing on takp, and they helped me understand it to where I can reproduce it. Thats hardest part in porting over stuff. If I didnt write it, I basically end up starting over. I see Torven do it this way, and I want to do it that way instead.

Leashing is the only thing that made everquest classic, a monster would follow you until the end of time.

End of time meaning a few hundred feet or 10 minutes? I remember pulling chardok royals to zone in, if i agrod king with my pet and ran beyond the castle he would lazy agro... I had to stop several times to get him to follow me. If he gated, he would not persue or summon. After 10 minutes agro was dropped.

I remember doing parses on mage equipted pets with hold on. After 10 minutes the mob would still attack your pet from riposte and whatnot but your agro was cleared.

[Haynar]

I dont think the 10 min aggro drop is on p99 either. If you havent added hate in 10 min, dropping you is on takp. Torven was very thorough on hate mechanics there. I will add that to the list.
