This did occur until the summer after velious was released I think In June 2001. There is evidence in other threads about how in cobalt scar the othmir would kill cobalt drakes when hit by their ae spell.

Obviously this could easily be abused, so maybe it's not a priority.

You guys seem to think this was changed to not work anymore while totally ignoring the fact that this was an ongoing thing even in Planes of Power.

Bastion of Thunder, Rallos Zek pit faction wars ring a bell?


You guys say you are champions of classic. Are you really? Or is that what nilbog wants us to believe?

I was referring to when the Cobalt Scar ae stopped affecting the othmir. I haven't looked into other instances.

From Velious Thread: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=141714

Initially in Velious it appears that the Othmir camps in Cobalt Scar would get hit by the Cobalt Drake's AE spell (Frosty Death) and they would act as guards and kill the drake. This looks like it was removed sometime in a patch between April and May 2001.

"They used to act as guards when fighting the cobalt drakes, but they no longer do so. "

Apr 18 2001: "When the drake AEs again, all the Othmirs of that camp will agro on it. They will kill it, tho it will take a few moments...so as soon as its AE goes off...begin running away from the othmir camp, to escape the lastAE it might get off. "
