Mob run speed?

You know? I don't think it's every zone. I was swarm kiting fine in Qeynos Hills and SK the other day. I actually believe the devs sped up the mobs in select zones where they do not want bards swarm kiting , to which I agree is a good thing as it forces bards at higher levels to be group friendly classes by "classic" design.

I don't know about that. Because, this last weekend I saw bards swarm kiting in FV and DL. Those are two HOT bard kite zones. I didn't check OT.

You may misunderstand what developers are in my statement. People are stating the developers of actual live everquest in classic didn't have the foresight to see what bard swarm kiting was capable of. I'm stating they didn't have the foresight to see what a lot of the mechanics are capable of doing in the long run, and this is like every other game created in the early days.

And I'm sorry but I've not seen many bards swarm kite mistmoore but they've been running like hell too.

In Freeport noobie zones all mobs are running faster. In East Commons, with SoW you cannot out run cats or bears if you run in a straight line.

This is clearly not intended. The question is, how many people have lost xp due to this bug and how long will it take those people to earn that xp back?

Glad I found this thread. I had noticed this on my baby druid that when fighting and having to run from a bad fight. I could barely outrun stuff with sow. Sometimes I couldn't outrun them at all and died. This was before I was so low on hp I slowed down or was encumbered.

Crap was simply faster than I was with sow on.

Anyone else noticing mob run speed are a lot faster? Logged on and started soloing in OT, mobs are Usain Bolt fast

i used to AE kite on live and it was lot easier than it is here. the pbae's seemed to hit from a bit further away and the mobs hit box wasn't as big

Can this be fixed please? After about half dozen of deaths I've retired my 40ish wiz competely. This is not bards only issue, kiting now is near impossible when you can barely outrun regular trash with sow.

My level 40+ wiz friend also stopped playing his wiz due to this.

I stopped playing my bard altogether until this is resolved not because i can't swarm but i feel i can't contribute to groups at all with decent cc because of all of the songs being super short. Beneficial songs work fine but I like to provide CC when we dont have enchanters and thats not possible with the bugs that are out right now.

Mage'ing it up right now in Oasis & tradeskilling! Hope to see my bard soon!

I had a bard the other day Swarm kite. Wasn't easy, but he did it. Also, I saw an issue on my Mage in DL, but of recent it looks like it is fixed.

I was pulling with SoW on and some of the mobs were RIGHT ON TOP OF ME. That isn't the case as of yesterday.

EDIT:

The issue I saw was when the mob was in range to hit you, they suddenly got Bard Speed, but when they were tagged and not near you they ran normal.
