Ele does it all the time. Though, when you can't figure out how to avoid zoning into dragon AE's, I can't blame you for not knowing ^^

You just need to browse relevant sites using they Wayback machine.

I have a noob questions. When I did ToV back on live it was always clear to the named and kill it in its spot.

How do you get around the summoning aspect of pulling? I remember named guys summoning like crazy when agroed, to the point where you couldn't run away even if you tried. Also, How do you get around the mobs between the zone in and the named? Train them around in circles?

Did anyone on live actually pull to the zone in for kills? Nobody did on my server, that's for sure.

Which dragon does a 500dmg aoe every 6 seconds in tov?

I was exaggerating. You get the point. Lady Mirenella's AoE does ~400 dmg every 6 seconds, unless the wiki data is wrong.

the only reason you would be zoning into TOV is if you belong to some guild that is raiding a part of it.

Totally not true.

You don't hurt it and it won't summon. To pull it, one person trains up from ent and toward HoT. Another trains down toward exit. The dragon is tagged from the train to exit.

I mean, I'm sure on Tallon Zek or whatever server it was that nilbog & co. played on there were some assholes killing dragons at ToV entrance and that's probably their justification for it, but like, this is not a damn PvP server. Allow that shit on red, not blue.

They never adopted that tactic on red here.

Red's velious pop was never great, sadly.

So you are trying to go to PoM on the day that everything is currently in window?

The odds of you choosing the exact moment to zone in, during a 5-10min at most fight, when mobs have a 16 hour window, seem rather slim actually.

i have never seen anyone provide proof that actual dragons were ever killed at the TOV zone in though. I just want to know how someone can claim people were banned for doing it on live.

if they can make the claim they obviously have something that supports it right? or else its all just talking out of their ass i guess...

Yes, I have zoned into ToV and died multiple times when my guild wasn't raiding there, back when I was in a guild. Besides, this argument falls flat because you're basically saying that anyone who ever wants to enter ToV should have to figure out who, if anyone, is in there and sling tells until you figure out whether or not there is currently a dragon being slain at the god damned entrance.

Maybe immediately after a repop when the windows are still stacked. But even if we're being generous and granting that they idiotically slaughtered all 27 or whatever dragons in the course of 4 hours, and it's now the following week, that's still an entire day out of the week that you may or may not zone into ToV and have to scramble to a safe spot before a dragon's AoE kills you. Better hope you didn't accidentally get aggro in WW and zone in with low health.

If we're being uncharitable and assume there hasn't been a repop in several months or more, windows are going to be spread out and could more or less cover all seven days of the week.
