What is this ambrogio post? It lacks context

For what its worth, I have asked for and recieved GM approval in the past to attempt to use the non-captain scout giants to kill Sontalak. Its been a long time though, different staff (Forum PM with Llandris, August 2019, when I was originally doing attempts with Aegis). We were not successful, and I've semi-shelved the plan, though I've tried to get a few attempts together for Klandicar that failed to fire due to lack of enchanters.

I have not tried to use the scout captain due to the issue that PL ended up in here, though he's very strong for this role as I believe he's fear immune. If anything goes wrong and he dies people are going to be grumpy about this.

I was kind of hoping to try this on a quake some day when she's FFA, I kind of hope that's still ok and it doesn't get axed completely as a possible strat. I have always been curious to see if he resists Sontalak's fire procs if loaded up with FR gear, and I think there might be a solid low-man Sontalak strat possibility with equipping him and getting him solo on Sont, then getting bump tanks to give time for a dictate/CH dump periodically.

clever use of mechanics imo

Imagine how much of a legend this captain would be in Kael after slaying Sontalak!

[Snaggles]

Imagine how clever if it worked for them. Could have wiped without the Captain and avoided the drama.

So wait, someone in PL won the scout roll and the roll losers got butthurt?

lmao

PS: At first glance I read the above as “roll lobsters got butthurt”

What more context do you need when it says Project Lightning breached something? If the PL name is mentioned all you need to know is they probably did something scummy *surprised Pikachu face*

It's not clever, red does it. There just isn't anyone in red to get upset.

[Kaedain]

real question.. what is the scout timer now?

[Nibblewitz]

Still trying to decide how people play a 25 year old video game. Pathetic.

And red doesn't have the same agreement. Blue has the agreement. PL broke the agreement.

And red doesn't have the same agreement. Blue has the agreement. PL broke the agreement.

The agreement is simply that Scout is rolled and those who roll help with the kill.

They rolled, PL won, they were more than capable of killing the Captain but chose to kill Klandi instead.

I don't see the issue here.

I'm sure the slack-jawed crybaby mob that is Blue General got their panties in a wad over Scouf Chorizo in 2024.

Saying you don't see the issue here is wild. That would be like saying you don't see the issue with someone charming the evil eye that manastones drop off of in OG classic because they like having it kill mobs as a pet, while a ton of people wait in line to try to get a manastone.

This...If its your mob/loot why does it matter what happens from there. For all we know people are killing Vulak just to delete the loot at this point. If this is against server rules how is it that people are allowed to awake the sleeper? Is letting loot rot on a mob against server rules? Make it make sense...

[Toxigen]

I guess they don't want an entire raid force showing up for scout to roll on for help w/ Klandi.

Still pretty clever. Must have been hilarious with all the crying.

itd prob be less of an issue if there wasnt 6 plast bots at every scout, its a bad look to begin with. Using red strats on a server where people actually play also isnt best move.

Honestly I'd rather see something impressive like this happen then having entire raid forces showing up on bots to stack the rolls like they do now anyways.

this. if you can't grasp why ppl at once have a low tolerance for this silly shit then you're fuckin dense

You keep saying “clever”. They did what other people do elsewhere, but failed at it.

I'll bite..

Charming EE stop's EE's from spawning. It removes supply.

Spawning scout giants does nothing to the supply, in 10 hours scout will spawn again. The captain and the giants have nothing to do with her. Doesn't affect anyone. They all get to log off earlier even so it's doing the losers a favor not having to help in a kill.

Your comparison is terrible.

[Jimjam]

Charming the captain does mean there isn't a -1 to the lottery participants for next scout roll (unless you kill the cap after sont/glandlicker?) ... this is assuming that the guild rollers even are actually rolling for the loot.

It is the loot right that is being rolled for, not the mob rights, right?

[Solist]

There would be zero lottery participants if it wasnt a lottery. even better

Correct execution would allow for killing the captain afterwards. As we can see here though, its pretty easy to accidentally get him killed if you don't execute correctly. This is especially true if you're still working out the fight mechanics to try and figure out exactly what is needed to support him and haven't done this before.

Clean whistles only on red.

Like five years back I remember some dude collecting a bag full of BoB's for lulz.

Suspending a bunch of people over a a single -1 lottery is dumb.

[Ripqozko]

how many of the mads are in PL? makes sense
