25 aggro limit

[Lillu]

The recent disconnects has nothing to do with agro limit. We are working daily on eleminating them all together. I already explained in another thread, that it world.exe crashes, you might get disconnected and you will get disconnected on the next zoning attempt. Again, we are working on it daily.

Wasn't aware of world crashes, or the other thread. Appreciate all the effort going into the server, was just irritated after exceeding 25 mobs on a lvl 29 in crushbone and seeing eminent danger prevention message.

sorry to bump this once again but I'am very very very pissed off by the aggrolimiter today.

I know it's for server stability and thats perfectly fine.
You don't want people to crash zone while AEing for exp. great. I have AE'ed a lot in pofire/icewell/FG to farm gear and I think I never once crashed one of these zones but well..


If it's for server stability and the greatter good , then fine , even if I really don't like it and feel frustrated because I feel like you took something fun from my class ( risposte/rampage ) I must aggree..

But why , really thats my only question , why would you add that features to raid zones ?
I don't think people are AE'ing in instanced zone , I can't think of 1 where it would be usefull.
today I got ported out of ToV 2 or 3 time , was just killing stuff to help a friend and got ported out when all the mini dragon with like 300 hp aggroed me. ( think of vulak's weapon procc , this will be fun next time someone get ported out because vulak has procced 25times)

I also got ported out of VP a lot of time, because when some named die they spawn a shitload of adds and when you have numberous of mobs on you , you get ported out.
I don't think anyone EVER AE'ed vp , and I doubt someone crashed the zone and made the server lag, I mean really.

I feel really frustrated right now , you can't play the way you want or you get ported out in raid zones.

You guys really know that noones AE or crash the raid zone this way , please take this into concideration. I'am online right now and I have a lot of tell of people aggreeing with me on this point.

I agree. I think the only 2 or 3 zones that this works in is pofire,fg,and pos. those are the ones where you pull a bunch to aoe, and thats only to get tradeskill stuff. now that they nuked the aged scale thing its not worth doing tradeskills. esp the solo aura quest now. i gave up on the rest of my toons. I feel they keep giving then taking away. first it was the ldon afk thing once we got legend status then its gone, then the geo camp got taken, then aged scale tradeskill, then pulling of 25 mobs. just waiting for whats going to be taken next. I think this is the first really negetive post ive done. I hate doing it, but I agree with fire. the 25 aggro thing doesnt need to be in instance zones.

Add PoV to this list. I used to always crash PoV on accident when I would AE pull to lvl my toons. As far as PoFire, I was able to pull nearly all of field 1 without a zone crash. I was the only one in the zone though, and I'm sure if there's more going on and someone tries to do a whole field pull then the zone would crash.

well , that the point for open zone , not for instanced/raid zone then

I have no input on the agro limit script, but aged scales were never intended to be what they were. Putting a single item into a tradeskill container hitting click and getting a skillup was not intended. There are a number of other paths to max Tailoring and certainly to get to 250ish required by the Aura Quest. A large number of people did it before aged scales were accidently added to the game. A good number of people have done it since they were moved down to something reasonable for the work required. I debated removing them entirely, but decided to let folks use them to get started. Look for a number of tailoring recipes to be implemented in the near future as well.

I believe if you look overall very little has been taken away, while a great deal has been added.

I guess when I picture server instability, I think of the lifetime between being required to reboot the server rather than an immediate crash. I could pretty easily picture mass pulling increasing memory fragmentation/exposing leaks/etc. that reduce overall stability and performance while not particularly affecting one single player, just the general player experience. But I'm sort of shooting in the dark, maybe a more detailed explanation about what the issues behind mass pulling are would be helpful?

Also, re: not mass pulling in raid zones, I had a tendency to mass pull ToV, PoFear, PoAir, and parts of VP, so it does happen.
