NC Petition

[Benjamin Linus]

I noticed something wrong with the AI, too.

It seems like most factions have a place relatively close by you can bind to and keep spam raiding for free, like Evenshire 3 maps from LA, but recently I've noticed the it takes a ton of gold and running through about 20 maps to get to NC, so we can't spam raid them like they do us.

Is this an AI bug?

[Sparky]

Nope, that's you being a smart alec. Put the request in a new thread.

They must have amazing ab as they hit my monk who has ac around 80. I just assumed they rolled natural 20's allot

Lol! You know we do sometimes buff the archers right? They are particularly deadly with set of cleric buffs

But I love and hate the new AI -- It's great when you want xp, you get to kill a gnoll, epic dorf, dwp drow, etc... and get to kill them again (One time recently my crafter was able to kill the gnoll boss 3 times in one session because he was rez'd twice by flamedancers!). What sucks is when I use a string of buff pots, and a mob casts dispell ;( how irritating.

You don't get xp till they're dead for good... am I wrong?

[Celorn]

Hmm.. actually I hadn't noticed that, just assumed. Perhaps you're right.

You don't get xp till they're dead for good... am I wrong?

Yes, you're wrong. I was running through Gnolls yesterday, and once you kill someone, you get XP. However, their body is still on the ground, able to be rezed. Even if they don't get rezed, once they "die" properly, as in when their body disappears, you get more XP.

[Amoenotep]

sweet...that just made the mobs that more plentiful in a few places they rez each other

[LinuxPup]

I just killed a gnoll guardian... no xp... was raised by a flamedancer. Killed him (the gnoll guardian) again, and got xp.... just the amount for a single kill.

[-BannyD-]

it has always been you get xp for the first death of a mob. if the dead mob is res'd, no matter how many times, you will never get xp from it again.

pretty much like that in most MMOs too

Teps 50 ac whoops my 80 ac i guess, but if you want me to show you ingame i will. Its rather interesting to say the least. Its possible that my connection is just awful enough that i am goind flat footed but i doubt it. They roll natural 20's allot it seems, its my only explanation. My 60+ sr keeps the ghale from blinding me and the epics dont have high enough ab even if you buff them, according to the combat info anyway. Either way, not a big deal to me, i mainly just run in circles in there anyway

Ive never trusted Biowares random rolls for monsters attacks... I swear the more AC you have the more monsters roll 20s!!!

[Fatzo]

hmm... do rezzed mobs who are killed a second time have a chance to drop loot ? (id doubt it) but ... well .. naw , nevermind... id figure a no-xp kill would go hand-in-hand with a no-loot-kill.... all the more reason to be sure to kill off the mobs with rezzing abilites first !

i have to agree with you there i have noticed it on many occasions in the past... bioware cheats !

p\/\//\/ed ! well it is a good point...but there are other spawn points out there too that people may have neglected...and to go even futher off topic --- it just gives LA more XP since we can kill them even faster !!1! i just cant remember where any of them are at the moment ...but indeed go ahead and start a new thread--- could make for an interesting / revealing topic !

Ill agree with crazy85eleventyone (dont expect me to sit there and type it out) , to give the all faction NPCs the ability to rez would be of course a balanced change indeed...and since it has already been stated as being implimented then everything is peachy as far as LA guards go --- yes buffing the guards works well ---- but if you are finding yourself struggling to fight off ANY factions guards -- (especially LA's overall weaker NPC's) then i think you need to go visit the devil-angel.....

as far as a guard with exponentially high stats like the ones spoken of --- well that is odd indeed
