Seriously fuck this and everything about this. Break it please. As previously mentioned graphics cards and/or Internet connections didnt make it feasible to do this.

They are plenty of other things that are much less abusive that have been broken:
1) AFK Mage camping with pets
2) Can't recast charm til charm breaks
3) Spawn variance

I totally agree with sellawiz this shit has gotta go. The original developers would have never ever meant the game to be played like this. IMO

Uh...I did it on live lvl 20 - 65...so pretty sure it was possible with hw and internet from that era lol. So mad

as long as the bard accepts that they are a bad person i think it's okay

Don't go to OT if you are concerned about not getting any mobs. If you are in SK and camping Aviaks or something and a bard comes and pulls all of KFC then petition his ass. With no real camps in OT bards can do whatever they want.

You can no more ask a bard not to sing and kite than you can ask a child not to laugh or a sock not to fill with poop.

Most bards don't care if you pull from the swarm (I don't). From my experience, most bards leave mobs up in areas that people are XPing in (I always avoided the ramp area in OT when I was doing it there), and I try and only do swarming when the zones are empty. If there are too many people competing, I go somewhere else that is empty where I won't bother anyone.

Not all bards are douches. <3

I still haven't rolled a bard yet. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Would be interesting if a druid could pick off a sabertooth, charm & sow it, then log.

Bard snare wipes out sow, easy fix. This is how we group up sarnaks in BW whom all start sowed.

I'd support AE kiting being taken out if NPC agro involving the use of charm were fixed, so that bards could swarm. Still excellent exp, and much less disruptive.
