Can we please get rid of this? I don't really see what purpose it serves especially in end game zones. In T5 I have mobs summoning me into walls, I have corals bouncing me from one of them to the other repeatedly. If I happen to have a mob half in and out of the water it is impossible to move it because of getting summoned by multiple mobs. Any repositioning is impossible. I don't see the server benefiting at from having mobs summon. It is nothing but an annoyance.

Listing reasons to get rid of mob summoning. Will add to this post as more points are made.
  • Getting summoned into walls and floor/terrain.
  • Repositioning mobs is impossible.
  • Mobs that are in agro range but not directly infront of you, (mobs on your 3 and 9 or 2 and 10) at times results in being summoned back and forth with mobs constantly on your backside.
  • Killing rooted mobs somewhat near one another results in being summoned from one to another.  <--I had a 6 chain with this
  • Having T7 bp and UW makes this issue worse thereby penalizing for having high end items.
  • Major annoyance

The mega riposte of the UWs places you in a summoning loop.. Hunter discussed fixing this before.. I hope he can soon

I really hope Hunter decides to remove this. I was pulling a pack in Abyss last night, only to get into a summoning circle of death.  Undecided

Another reason to get rid of this. Even when I am not trying to move or adjust mobs if they are even slightly out of place they at times start summoning me and dragging me into the middle of the few mobs I have. The result is I have mobs behind me pounding me. At this point you try to adjust it and you end up getting summoned over and over. Got a roamer coming near? Hope you like ping pong.

I'll see about removing summoning from mobs in Abyss. A few other tweaks I want to do too in various zones this.

I think the summoning on corals would be fine if the ones that are half in/half out of the water were relocated. That's where the annoyance lies. You keep repositioning so you can hit it then you get summoned? ugh

Workaround -- Pull without primary weapon equipped. No riposte issues.

Though, that won't help for summons once the fight begins.

To clarify; when pulling a 2 or 3 mobs if one of them is the summoning mobs and I reposte on it it begins to summon. Now I might have mobs that are spread out so I need to kind of back up to draw them in line. Can't really do that because you get summoned every few seconds by this mob. Now I know what you're thinking, just adjust the mobs between the summoning. Well, in the mean time, while trying to adjust them I have reposted on other mobs. Now they are taking their turns summoning me. So I have mobs summoning me all over the place, part of the time I am out of range, another part I am facing the opposite way and all of the time I have mobs on my backside.

The corals are quite bad as well. The ones up at the top on the column in the middle of the water, if I am not standing in the exactly right spot when I engage I attack another one which will summon me and bounce me from one to another. I had a 5 chain once on this one. Had to constantly tap my target nearest and hope for one round on the mob before I got summoned again. There are 2 other places, one with 2 coral and the other with 3 coral that are too close and start summoning the entire fight.

Thank you for the fix Hunter. Really appreciate that.

On live, mobs didn't start summoning until they go past 96%. I dunno if that's the case here. You do more than 4% on a riposte? You can't proc on ripostes IIRC.

Griz this only really effects the guys with the UWs it screams way past the "Riposte Threshold". Blarr and Myself noticed this getting stuck in a summoning loops just cause you ran past a mob and ripo'd it hard as hell which is our only option now..

Is the problem with mobs summoning or uw being too epic? Maybe uw needs nerf instead so these summoning issues go away.

Just wonderin.

Man quoting is hard from cell jeez.


Please try to avoid "recreating the wheel" every chance y'all get sheesshh..

Kettle???

I have been on this server since 11-2011. I have never posted on the forums. All this forum has turned into is a public display of intenet bashing. It's sad. Certain z.   people just seem to never have anything productive to add and just want to critize every minor detail. It's not even a place of discussion anymore.

I will more than likely get flammed on this post and thats fine.

All I know is that its Hunter's server and he can run it however he wants. With that said please stop the bickering over whos right and whos wrong. If you are a lawyer than please just list the proper statutes and do it in a why that does not belittle the other person.

In closing there are just some people need to just stop the negativity. You know who you are. Please prove my point by flaming.

Thank you

Wow I to can find posts that you make.... go away if this is the best "attempt to troll" or do as you said in your 1st post.


btw respond or not I won't waste typing on my keyboard on ya!! Please drive through
