View Full Version : Swarm kiting in Field of Bone


Kristian
03-24-2014, 07:25 PM
A bard named Ryzan in guild Remedy has been swarm kiting all the mobs in and near the pit in Field of Bone for two hours, ruining it for the 25-30 people trying to level here. We petitiond awhile ago but nothing has been done, and nothing has convinced him to stop. If somebody has a way of getting this guy to stop please come help

Signed,
Noobs of Field of Bone

8. You may not disrupt the normal playability of a zone or area.

Zone/Area Disruption is defined as any activity designed to harm or inconvenience a number of groups rather than a specific player or group of players. This includes, but is not limited to::

-Monopolizing most or all of the kills in an area.

As noted to a fanboy admiring my skillz in zone last night just because the mobs are dead in the pit who says they are from the pit?

I was actually pulling mobs from the eastern zone wall where the sand meets the grass. No one in at least 500 leagues of any mobs. The closest was a Necro camped on the ramp entering the pit underneath Kurn's. Even if it was his first RMT and he had the pimpist pixelz on the server and he wasn't forced to start over he still wouldn't have ever made the grassy knoll so he had plenty of mobs.

<Remedy> is a returning EU guild starting up. We don't care on your class or level we are here to socialise and eventually raid some stuff!

We are currently at the leveling phase however we are looking to casually raid whatever we can if we get enough people on.

There isn't a website currently(Coming soon)

Watch this space for more information when we get sorted.

Do /who all Remedy and ask anyone for some basic information.

That was said tongue in cheek, think a Shaman would know you can't SoW in a dungeon but since you want to try AE in my face I guess I'll just take the others up or downstairs away from you, failing that, Slow is pretty good at pulling aggro if I'm pulling for a group.

1. This isn't swarm kiting, it's solo (or duo) AOE kiting.

2. I support this bard, every outside zone is a defacto bard AOE zone. You nubs should go into Kurns and leave the outside zone to bards.

3. I support fucking with this bard. Someone just needs to smack him with a buff and then bounce their own HP above and below 20%. Also snare a few mobs to make it really interesting. OR take a high level bard/wizard/[insert AOE class here] into the zone and burn his mobs down.

All I ever see are threads complaining about them, and in game I've only been playing for a couple months but whenever I see a bard it usually means it's time to switch zones. I don't even get mad about it anymore, I just leave.

As a counterbalance to this, every other class I've played with have been really awesome so far.

I solo kited in Gfay, NRo, Sro, Oasis, WC, the Karanas, and OT - but not the outdoor dungeon zones for obvious reasons. I grabbed every mob that I could in these zones, because 1 fuckup = insta death, might as well go big.

The duo kites become better in the 40s - FV, Dreadlands, BW.

Bards have to have thick skin - so many whiners can be distracting when it's time to kill the mobs.

Amelinda was quite clear on people not grabbing all mobs they could find in zones where there were groups at peak time. I don't know if that's still a thing that the current GMs follow up on, but consider me a whiner if I'm in a zone and you're busy kiting all the mobs.

Once you finally finish them I'll still have 10+ minutes to wait for their respawn timer. That's fair, right? :p

Well, tbh, I kited mostly late night. If people started complaining I'd try to leave mobs up in their area. Most of the kunark zones have so many mobs that a bard can get a huge kite going and still leave some around the popular camps.

Some of my late night OT kites were huge tho. I remember getting over 2 levels in one pull =|

There are tons, in fact, if you send a tell to most aoe bards (not /ooc with massive complaint) they will leave stuff up for your pulls.

On that note, with the mob density of a typical Kunark zone there really isn't a reason to leave up mobs where people are xp'ing.

I am awesome. Once I hit 28ish I never AoE'd again, and stuck to charm kiting so I could kill in out-of-the-way places and kill casters easily. I always offer people rides if I see they have no SoW or anything, because big deal, that's like 2 minutes out of my day to get them across 2 zones. I've also powerlevelled people for free because they were good people who were having a bad day. Why? I decided to do a little PR work for bards.
You will never, EVER, hear something like this mentioned in the forums or in /ooc. With the way EQ works, greatly encouraging grouping, and the amount of time death penalties/corpse runs cost a non-bard, there's just too much envy baggage there. Also, you'll never hear about bards like us (ones who stay out of the way) because no one notices us.
So it's not that every bard is a douchenugget; it's that every single person has had a negative experience with a bard at some point, or overheard something bad that a bard did, and it becomes a firmly-rooted belief that all bards are assmanglers.

The following piece, about bards, ran in the Saturday Evening Post on January 2nd, 1915:

“In every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live in the white glare of publicity. Whether the leadership be vested in a man or in a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at work. In art, in music, in industry, the reward and punishment are always the same. The reward is widespread recognition; the punishment, fierce denial and detraction. When a man’s work becomes a standard for the whole world, it also becomes a target for the shafts of the envious few. If his work is mediocre, he will be left severely alone—if he achieves a masterpiece, it will set a million tongue a-wagging. Jealousy does not protrude its forked tongue at the artist who produces a commonplace painting. Whatsoever you write, or paint, or play, or sing, or build, no one will strive to surpass or to slander you unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius. Long, long after a great work or a good work has been done, those who are disappointed or envious, continue to cry out that it cannot be done. Spiteful little voices in the domain of art were raised against our own Whistler as a mountebank, long after the big would have acclaimed him its greatest artistic genius. Multitudes flocked to Bayreuth to worship at the musical shrine of Wagner, while the little group of those whom he dethroned and displaced argued angrily that he was no musician at all. The little world continued to protest that Fulton could never build a steamboat, while the big world flocked to the river banks to see his boat steam by. The leader is assailed because he is the leader, and the effort to equal him is merely added proof of that leadership. Failing to equal or excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and to destroy—but only confirms once more the superiority of that which he strives to supplant. There is nothing new in this. It is as old as the world and as old as human passions—envy, fear, greed, ambition, and the desire to surpass. And it all avails nothing. If the leader truly leads, he remains—the leader. Master-poet, master-painter, master-workman, each in his turn is assailed, and each holds his laurels through the ages. That which is good or great makes itself known, no matter how loud the clamor of denial. That which deserves to live—lives.”

All of the forum hate can't compare to that, nor can little minds get over their envy, fear, greed, ambition, and desire to surpass. All of my PR work won't change that.

To be honest it's not actually obvious at all. The mere presence of an enemy is validation it isn't being killed.

Still, there is a reasonable amount of respect that has to be give to a class that CAN conceivably kill every enemy within their kite. At the same time it isn't unreasonable to expect a bard to stay away from the few areas people are xp'ing.

Something something two way street.

The leader is assailed because he is the leader, and the effort to equal him is merely added proof of that leadership. Failing to equal or excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and to destroy—but only confirms once more the superiority of that which he strives to supplant. There is nothing new in this. It is as old as the world and as old as human passions—envy, fear, greed, ambition, and the desire to surpass. And it all avails nothing. If the leader truly leads, he remains—the leader. Master-poet, master-painter, master-workman, each in his turn is assailed, and each holds his laurels through the ages. That which is good or great makes itself known, no matter how loud the clamor of denial. That which deserves to live—lives.”

All of the forum hate can't compare to that, nor can little minds get over their envy, fear, greed, ambition, and desire to surpass. All of my PR work won't change that.


Agree that the loudest get noticed and the quiet are forgotten. My question was only half rhetorical and half legit.

Your post did remind me of the very first high level character I saw. I was in qeynos, died in NK, and this bard overheard me talking about it in /say and asked if I wanted a lift.

I'll never forget flying through the air for the first time at ridiculous speeds I didn't know were possible in the game. I still remember his name, even after never thinking about for 10 years.

Those are the kinds of bards I was hoping to see in p99, not swarm kiting pricks everywhere I go. I'm glad that they're still out there.

It really depends on how you swarm.

To be clear - I'm not saying all bards who swarm kite are assholes. My idea of a swarm kiting asshole is the guy that comes in and sweeps most of the zone for mobs, leaving very few for the people that were already there.

My experiences so far allude to the fact that there are a large number of bards who don't really care about the people they share the zone with. I'm a laid back kinda girl, and my class can solo anywhere if need be so I don't make a huge deal when it happens, I just leave and find exp somewhere else.

But I can see other people's frustration. Is it classic? Yeah. Does it make you a jerk? Yeah.

But that's just like, my opinion, man.

There are very few zones where swarming can effectively occur. Why not go to another zone if the swarmer is killing that one.

FoB taken? Well Cabilis has 4 entry level zones adjacent to it. Try Swamp or Lake instead.

I think a small portion just don't give a fuck about the people around them, and draw the biggest stink. I was leveling(with a group) a few weeks in kurns/fob area, or attempting to when druids were non-stop PLing.

You make due, ask them to leave, if they don't, you report and go about your day. I had a guide show up and chase um off.

And as far as Kiting goes...I tended to stick to low pop areas, like FV for about 7 levels. When I had no choice but to OT, I kept to non prime time, or smaller kites so I wasnt jacking everything.

My favorite is how mad people get at bards in OT.. the most known swarm kiting zone in game.

I'm not a fan of bards that monopolize zones, but OT is one zone they can have. It's garbage exp and garbage loot for every class that is not a bard and it's where bad players go to not learn how to handle themselves in a dungeon.

Besides, OT is where most bards go to die, since after OT there isn't much left for them to do when they don't know how to play their class in any other way.

A bard named Ryzan in guild Remedy has been swarm kiting all the mobs in and near the pit in Field of Bone for two hours, ruining it for the 25-30 people trying to level here.

If you're going to mass kite on blue, make sure you leave up plenty of mobs for others to kill. Communication is key. You are absolutely not allowed to disrupt someone else's play experience just to get a few more mobs.

If you are unable to do this in the zone you have selected to kite in, go to another zone.

Please see the 'Zone Disruption" clause in the Play Nice Policy for Blue for more information. It's far more important to us, as a staff and as a server, to see new players/returning players able to level in the zones they would like to level in without another player ruining that experience, than to see a bard kite half a zone for faster XP.

Fair point Derubael but these guys Swarmed the top end of the pit, the guys I was healing/buffing were down the lower end and had zero disruption.

It's just as soon as a bard is seen to be Swarming the noobs cry out.

Are we being judged here? Remedy is Remedy if people have nothing better to say in response other than 'your guild is full of dicks' 'your guild has a bad rep' then lets see what they have to say with Remedy taken out of the equation.
