So I'm guessing there's no video of this kill or the second Naggy kill? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

poop!

I was thinking about how cool it would be to fraps the Naggy fight. Then I realized I'm a cleric and some of the excitement might be lost by staring at a wall.

For most intents and purposes, he was part of classic as nothing more than a legend. He was, with almost 100% certainty, never killed on Live. If something is removed in the very first patch and never reinstated, it is not a part of the game.

He was rumored to drop the Fanged Skull Stiletto (the dagger mentioned here) "very early in release."

I have my reservations about creating content based on rumors. The fact remains that you've gone to great lengths to provide an experience as close to classic as at all possible and then you go and add something that none of us ever experienced because it was never realistically possible (if he was ever really in the game post-launch, it was for too short a time for anyone to get to kill him). On top of that, the stiletto is so vastly superior to existing items that it completely skews the itemization, and scarcity is not a valid justification. 12/22 is endgame Kunark quality.

The day before the server launched, I spawned lots of raid mobs in gfaydark and allowed the remaining testers to fight them. I heard NO complaints about Mayong and people seemed to think it was a great fight.

This would not seem like a serious enough event to warrant relevant comments. If I had seen you load up random raid mobs for shits and giggles, I wouldn't bother to point out any inconsistencies as the scenario would be way out of context, especially prior to launch.

Also, no one complained about him until he was killed.. really guys, almost 2 months?

It seems logical that the problem does not occur to people until it is brought to their attention. I would venture to guess that many were unaware of his existence since, you know, he's not supposed to exist.

If I played on the server, I would feel a significant breach of integrity and athenticity. What are you going to do next, create the zone between Highpass and RunnyEye that was intended but never developed?

That said, I'm glad to see that he's in the game as a raid as he should have been all along on live. However, yesterday while fighting mobs at the entrance I noticed he was tracking as "behind you and to the left." If this is accurate does that mean that you can't simply show up and kill him? Does the fight have to be initiated by a present GM? I can certainly see the issue if that's the case.

Nope. Otto was the one who pulled Mayong. Requires no intervention from anyone.

I was hoping someone was going to start taking videos of this stuff. Someone that is attending raids from now on needs to start youtubing this stuff. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So, is MM going to be a week long respawn mob going forward, or was he a 1 time kill?

Excellent to hear.

I don't know when he was killed, but was on tracking last night.

I can't see how Mayong being in the game disrupts anything at all. The classic experience is still present and you get the bonus of fighting a mob that should have been in the game all along. His loot, however does seem questionable. The dagger is too powerful for the current content and will be camped to death until every melee in the top level guilds have them. At that point they will blair through the kunark content faster than was originally possible.

As a side note, this seems to me to be highly accurate:

No one killed Mayong before he was removed from the game.
He was one of the four level 53 mobs that were part of the unsolved version of the original Fiery Avenger quest. There was still an artificial block placed on leveling past 30 when Mayong went gm controlled. He was removed at the same time Leviathan was from lake Rathe.
He was removed partly for pathing and agro issues, and partly for a change in the story to where they wanted him to be too powerful for players to destroy.

Not sure if this helps... But end game kunark is VASTLY superiour to this.

You heard it here first! I was going to start by giving all the guards in Thurgadin lollipops.. then waste a bunch of development time responding to pointed questions on the forums, then work on that HP/RE zone! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Step 1: complete

Step 2: in progress

Will Mayong be left in game or is he going to be removed at some point?

edit: I ask because he seems like a cool encounter, and it would be a shame for him to be removed before other groups get a chance to level up and take him on.

No suprise, any hot button topic to be brought up just gets taken over by trolls, of course half of them are in IG to begin with.

Please forgive my ignorance. What/who is this IG that keeps coming up?
