Spells: lull/pacify aggroing mobs

a quick check of allakhazams faction page turns up this quote from 2000 about vox......

How would I go about raising the Vox faction? I know it can be done, I've seen/read about ppl doing it.

They.... asked a question... and.. never. got.. an answer.... how is that proof?

[Bockscar]

People in old Allakhazam comments are wrong just as often as people on these forums. Probably moreso, in fact, since people back then didn't have many years of Everquest history to browse through. Some anonymous comment isn't proof any more than what bullshit people around here can dream up. Considering the fact that Allakhazam lists no way to gain Vox faction but does list mobs you can kill to lose it, I'd consider that more credible than random internet guy #459517.

you cant raise any of those factions via killing shit as i recall, which is why it was so important to not fuck them up to begin with (i never xped on sk gnolls or in splitpaw on account of that) and 80% of the servers enchanters were unable to move freely in the zone as most of them had killed a mob or two that shitted up the faction.

i fought several enchanters in all locations that were kept specifically for the purpose, i had an enchanter friend who was a carebear faction junky and he recovered corpses for our raids in all of said areas. everytime we managed to mobilize enough people to take out a dragon we had to contend with different groups sending in a few shithead enchanters to try and mez healers/strip buffs/be a pain in the ass. when i was camping the corrupted seahorse for my epic we had to kill a gimpy enchanter several times that kept coming in and fucking with us.

once again:

splitpaw, starts as dubious for karana worshippers. probably others as well but my other alts that i can recall started as threatening.

kedge, everything on the phinigel faction started as threatening and could be bumped to dubious via benevolence. the generic pirahna type fish were still scowling to everyone and had no faction associated with them.

permafrost, goblins are on their own faction separate from nagafen/vox. all of the frost giants along with vox started as threaten and could be bumped to dubious. bear/spider pits were still kos.

sol b, similar to permafrost, everything in the dungeon started as scowling except for the fire giants and nagafen which could be bumped up.

mistmoore, everything started as threaten and could be bumped to dubious even via the lower level alliance.




once again the issue is that on this server everything seems to be starting one faction level lower than originally, which is why my druid started as threaten instead of dubious to splitpaw and amiable instead of kindly to a number of druid NPCs

since everybody who played in these areas in this timeframe remembers it the exact same way and has their own stories relating to such that is all the proof i need, i seriously doubt there is a long forgotten patch note for by the company that founded stealth nerfs about an issues that was considered trivial to the majority of the servers.


congratulations, you baited me into responding. which was probably your goal.

None of this constitutes proof.

This is entirely irrelevant, and does nothing to support your claim that vox faction started at threatening, or that benevolence could raise you to dubious. Just look through old comments about benevolence and other similar spells and see what you find, who knows, maybe you're right, but they can't change anything until you post reliable evidence.

[Bockscar]

Since you appear to be the only one who has ever heard of it, I think it's safe to say that more proof is needed.

[Harrison]

Especially since something as retarded as "pacify should never aggro" is something he believed until just now.

[Dfn]

Like I said the in other thread, I personally PK'd in Paw and Kedge because I started with faction there. I don't know of any way to raise the faction, but I certainly pk'd and ganked raids in those zones on my wizard and enchanter.

Please point out where I've been wrong about anything. You retards are the same ones saying selos didn't overwrite snare & root. I have no reason to believe anything you say as you have obvviously never played classic eq or classic on a pvp server.

Got any evidence?

Also, not sure why you're being so hostile.

[Harrison]

Wait, now he's claiming selos should be 100% protection from snares and roots?

Wow.
