NPC push

[Dreenk317]

I'm sorry, but they took out spell sets, dot damage messages, and many other things that were nice and not game breaking, really, at all. Under the banner of "all praise pure in era classicness". And then they make this un classic change. And people are saying "it was done to make it seem more classic, deal with it". Come on, classic is classic, not classic is not classic. You can only be one or the other.

Anecdotally, I lead a bunch of open vox raids back in 2001. Interupting CH rarely ever happened. We're we ever trying to use that as a strategy? Eh, not my open raids. We just recruited for hours until we had enough to maybe kill her. But, I am pretty sure no server had 10 people putting Vox in farm-mode.

Un-Classic fix to make the server more classic. Deal.

90% of vox raids failed, yes because it was impossible to interrupt a dragon, you could push her across the room, and she ran up the wall at 25% and regenned at a sick rate

Also on dial up lag was so bad most people couldnt even do dmg because so many in a small space

so 2 hours of buffing and getting ready for 30 seconds of dragon glory

I also did open Vox raids and there was always an attempt to push. It didn’t always work but I don’t recall people being very disciplined at it either. As it stands now it’s not really possible.

Recently had several mobs in WToV raids get interrupted via push. So it is possible, just very unlikely I guess.

Wasn't push, it was cumulative bashes if anything.

Yea, there's a very small chance for mobs to be interrupted by any melee hit in combat, as well as bash and lvl55+ warrior kick. However, it's not reliable in any way. Push used to be very reliable. Maybe a LITTLE too easy to interrupt mobs by pushing them 5 or 10 yds.

Instead of making the required distance to push greater, it appears like they just removed the ability for push to interrupt NPC spells altogether. Yet, if a player gets hit, especially a non-caster, there's a near 100% chance to have your spell interrupted (including clickies with a cast-time).

This is unfortunately classic. There's a lot of info in the thread where they submitted for this change.

Looks like enchanters just got more valuable.

It's implemented properly on TAKP - the place where they poached the code. Not sure why it's so borked on p99. The backstun mechanic also works much more fluidly there and you don't get stun locked when you're pulling mobs.

Nice try Al Kabor.
