NPCs that charm are somewhat rare in Everquest but if necro/shaman npcs could do this which are literally littered in every dungeon as the most common 'casters' - yikes.
I dont think they removed it due to player OPness but more so dungeons being impossible. Charming a player at these noob levels basically wipes a group every time. You start nuking your own groupmates mana free and cant use your voice to apologize [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
It was even worse than you imagine. There were some serious bugs with charming:
1. Sometimes when you were charmed, and then became uncharmed, you would lose the ability to cast any spells. You would have to camp out completely and relog in to restore your ability.
2.Sometimes the "charming" MOB's pet would still be able to attack you while you were charmed and you'd just watch as you were whittled down to zero health by their pet while under charm.
3. This was a doozy. If a player was charmed, the charming NPc would then target the nearest player in a GIGANTIC radius and aggro them. Like a huge radius, like from the rathe mountains gypsy to the lake zone in-- where I first discovered this "bug". Not only would they target players from far away but they would attack players they should not even by aggressive to. Like the gypsy in rathe mountains isn't KOs to anyone but if you got charmed she would still attack the nearest player to her.
