since when do NPC's summon?

[dude]

fighting in SF today and i am getting summoned by an elder wyvern what gives?

[Raavak]

Level 50+ mobs can summon.

[skarlorn]

i think it's over level 51 or so, but monsters of that level have always summoned in my experience

[Baler]

They don't summon if their HP is max. So don't damage the ones that summon.

[Raavak]

In SF avoid those at the entrance to VP. They can drop nice spells, but you will likely need a friend or two to farm them.

[dude]

just got worse i gated out it game crashed and im dead

[Baler]

If you roll a large race you will be too voluminous for most NPCs to summon.

Frontal Summon Immunity. :rolleyes:

I (re-)discovered this like a year ago. I was used to being summoned in dungeons, but since it had never happened to me in an outdoors zone my brain wasn't expecting it. I tried to solo a clay golem outside OT, nearly died, and had to (slowly) train him to SF zone, where multiple people chewed me out for not knowing that he summoning.

Needless to say, I don't forget about summoning anymore, even outdoors :)

I was summoned by a wyvern in WW... Surprised me too

[Izmael]

Some wyverns in WW require Boltran's for charming, which makes them lvl 52+

[Mortiis]

They don't summon if their HP is max. So don't damage the ones that summon.

This. I believe it's < 95% they start summoning.

[Cecily]

I wanna say it's almost all lv 51+ with 98% or less hp begin summoning the highest person on their agro list.

It makes no sense for them to summon like the mob thinks, "Oh this guy wants to kill me? Better bring him in closer so he can get some shots on me." Like why can't these things use their magical powers to push players away and gtfo just like when I was in high school and went to prom and there was this weird girl that wanted to dance and I was like uh no like I wouldn't have summoned her I would have pushed her out of the entire prom but maybe these things have a superiority complex and really think that they are going to get out alive and don't bother looking at the dozens of corpses of their comrades strewn about to know that their own impending doom is standing before them casting spells. WTB Shaman epic 5k. How can we expect to be immersed more if mobs just keep pulling in the people that kill them and act like idiots out on a farm digging around with the shovel and the sticks and never planting anything just enjoying the dirt and the worms and the other animals when they could be in the city enjoying the high life and then they go to highkeep and gamble but that is hard because there are too many monks just slaughtering guards and noble people there. Jeez highkeep, how do they get any visitors to keep coming there when they all get slaughtered. Don't people in Freeport and Qeynos like hear of people planning trips there and speak up like "yeah my uncle went to highkeep for a vacation and we never saw him again" Makes me so mad.

Summon was a poorly thought out [how can we make this harder] lazy dev tactic in lieu of actually creative ideas.

crude but effective. shits classic u mad etc

[Nybras]

They begin to summon below 97% hp.

[Newfangle9]

Can't remember when or where I heard this, but mob summoning was introduced to nerf swarm and fear kiting. It sure took the fun out of my necro back then. I loved fear kiting and all of a sudden I was reduced to root rotting (boring) or aggro kiting. I remember a big room in Halls of Honor that had human mobs. Sentries and one other kind. You could snare one but not the sentries so you had to kite at their full speed, and they were pretty fast. It wasn't that long after that I wound up quitting the game.
