Stormfeather - Iceclad.

RedXIII · #1 09-21-2015, 07:23 PM

Hi guys and gurls.

I am here to ask/propose that since GM Sirken ruled that Stormfeather is now a camp (correct me if i am wrong), can we please remove the variance from it and make it classic again? since its no longer a FTE socking festival...

Thanks.

I camped a full day and a half straight no sleep for him back in the day. Almost got ksed by an SK when he popped but a Wiz friend happened to be visiting me and helped. That spawn is a real bitch and I pity anyone willing to do it.

This shit is def classic

Stormfeather was always considered a camp. players tried twisting it into an FTE mob to suit their own needs.

at no time in the history of EQ (on any server) has Stormfeather been treated like a raid target.

this wasn't a rule change, this was a rule enforcement. there's a difference.

Doesn't it call out FTE? It should be a camp, and I'm glad that that is finally being enforced.. but it seems a little harsh to say it was 'twisted' when it was calling out who engaged it first like a raid mob. Gave people some ammo to argue that it was intended to be a first to engage mob and without a GM popping up and telling how it is everyone just went along with what seemed to be the intention.

At no point in the history of EQ (on any server) has Stormfeather had a variance.

Stormfeather doesn't have a variance.

Stormfeather doesn't have a variance.

Is this new? I know he skips but from my logs there was +/- 1 hour.

I see. I responded before checking (oops), because Stormfeather doesn't behave the same as database spawned npcs (where variance is handled). It does actually have a variance on respawn handled in a script.

That being said, the comments on allakhazam include several discussions about variance:

Quote:

Ok. Just did stormfeather 7 times. 6 Were in a row . 33 +/- 3 hours.

Quote:

Killed Stormy many times over a 2 week span (getting eyepatch for alts and guildies) his spawn times is roughly 28 hours, +/- 3 hrs he always took at least 26 hours to spawn and as late as 31.

Quote:

Just killed Stormfeather 2 spawns in a row. Kills were 35 hours, 48 minutes apart. this seems to match the idea of 32hrs +/- 2 hours or so.

Quote:

his spawn does seem to be around 29-31 hours

Quote:

Using the 31+/- hours theory, I'm sitting there right on top of SF spawn point. He spawns a full 2 hours ahead of schedule, I Harm Touched him, dead. He spawned 26-28 hours after his previous death.

Those were some comments I found on the first 2 pages for Stormfeather. Perhaps people can research further, and if evidence is found, I can edit the script. If there should be a variance, what we have right now is too short.
