Thanks Guys - seems Vaion was already quick on the trigger and lowered the heal frequency significantly.

2 years and 10 days since last official post so............



This post is in now way dogging on the zone as I do enjoy the content in Tactics. Providing this based on the current server population online usually which is relatively low to what it was when I initially took my break. Back then there was 300+ online and now I have yet to see 150 online (only 144 as I write this post).

Spent most of Friday evening finishing up the Rouge disc for Nizzy. Had started collecting the drops back when this thread was still active so it was more of a finish up and didn't seem to bad.
Then I decided to get back up cleric her spell and it took the better part of the day Saturday. Took a couple breaks in there and killed Chaos twice, Zenurix once and I think we threw in a Xeru kill.
It however took ALL DAY, can we look up maybe increasing the spell components drop rates from 8% to 18%?

Most Angry - still makes me most angry when he repops. I can kill him no problem if all 10 toons are standing. If I loose just one DPS toon or one runs out of mana it becomes a stand off. For the Tier it seems he still need to be toned down a bit on his total HP and how hard he hits. He can beat up my T8 tank so I can only imagine what he would do to someone in T6 gear.

TZ and VZ have not given them a run since I have been back but as I recall they were spot on.

RZ - I am going to give him an attempt on my own with my crew and see what the result is. What I can say now when compared to Phara Dar and Cazic Thule he is above them when he should be on par or slightly above. I can do PD and CT with just my warrior and cleric it would take a while but it could be done.
I feel he even out ranks most of the mobs in DSK 1 and some in DSK 2 on difficulty of the event.

We did a RZ run this evening our raid was 55 toons (27,500pp!)

Everything was fine with 29 in zone. Once we hit 30 strange stuff started happening. The toons were disappearing all I could see was RZ, pets and Alloran for some reason. It did not matter which of my 11 I tabbed to same result on all.

When Blique started to zone in his crew in (12 toons) he started to go out of sync or dropped to character select or log in on zone in on all but two. He was coming in with 1,500 ping and closed clients and logged back with same result.

Meanwhile I hit a disc on Othofrako and started the encounter and I discovered Othofrako and Hain had both gone out of sync just standing there.
Managed to tank it out of sync with my lag meter going nuts.

Once we gated all toons out of zone Blique started loading all of his 12 toons back in and they loaded just fine into the RZ instance.

Will look into the logs and see if there is anything to help narrow it down more.

Thanks Nizzy

Why start a new thread when you can bump one that is 3.5 years old?

Something is up in tactics, tagged one mob in the pit to pull it out into the hall. The entire pit came out, as they were coming I was killing them as I could Othofrako and Nizzy went out of sync ended up ported to the forest. Went back and tried again similar result but since I had killed so many before I didn't get ported out but I received the warning message.

Went up to where the mages were the giant human looking mobs wearing blue, tagged one pulled them all. I though Othofrako went out of sync based on the battle spam and warning message that I had too many mobs. I switched to my SK to take over the army after I had everything dead Othofrako was back to normal again.

Yea I’m working on the next set of performance stuff to hopefully address this. Issue I believe lies in what npcs are sending out to one another every few seconds. I fixed a large chunk of the data but still quite a bit to go

Just this sickness been destroying me this past week. Every time I think I’m okay for a few hours, it hits me again and I’m back in bed dosing myself with sleep meds to get through it

First, be well!

That said, is there any way to clean up the lag in the RZ fight? I keep failing my DPS test, and when I try to bring in more DPS (people) I lag so bad I actually do worse.

My best runs involve 3 donor mage pets, 1 rk 3 mage pet, and 5 draekkons, spread across 16 toons, with casters spamming nukes. I get to about 20 pct. If I add 2 more, I get to about 30 pct. So, less is more, in this case.

I want to be able to kill this guy, but I can't really beef up my normal 12 - 16, and if I can't add more people, he just seems to be a major tease!

It COULD be ME.....

Considering the requirement of bane weapons greatly levels the playing field, and excluding a little tactical decision making (which classes to bring, some basic agro management/burn strategies), it really just does boil down to numbers where the more is obviously better.

So no, it's probably not you. I think we had about 24-27 when we did it. I can't imagine we'd ever have done it with 16, no matter what classes we chose and no matter the strategy (but there may be some guilds that have achieved that, I'd just be surprised because it's not like you can just out-gear it for extra damage). Certainly not whilst the content was still appropriate to our level (i.e. we wouldn't bother with it now, the rewards aren't worth it).

We're glad we did it and it was fun. We just likely won't do it again on our second run through the server's content. It was more just to say "we did it".
