Warning to my fellow Necros

[Sir Alex]

<DIV>Dont know if you guys have seen the thread on test feedback forums about necros and conj harvesting while pet handles mob but it sure seems like soemone is crying for another necro nerf, just wanted your guys opinion on this.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>name of thread is harvesting and agro</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>thanks</DIV>

[Fierce Ra]

<DIV>They have already tried to nerf us from doing this.  If I harvest a node and a mob attacks me or my pet attacks it first then you will get a message saying 'How can you think about harvesting in a time like this'  and it won't let you harvest.  Now if I stop for a second and cast one spell I can continue to harvest while my pet takes care of the rest.  It sounds like to me that the people that would be complaining are the ones that steal other peoples nodes while they fight a mob that aggroed them while harvesting.  I consider that very rude for a person to do.  I don't think the devs will do anything about it though.  Maybe they should cry to the dev's about node locking, which actually might get some attention.</DIV>

<DIV>node locking of say 20-30 sdeconds is what is needed. just long enough so that people cn not go around tap a bunch and slowly rotate around the area taking them all... </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>you tap it you take it. </DIV>

<P>If they don't like it maybe they should have played a pet class. :smileytongue:</P> <P>Personally I think these type of people should p|ss off.  I agree with Fierce, these are the [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]holes that jump on your node when they know good and well that you where on it first.  I've reported people for doing this before and will continue to do so until the issue is resolved and nodes locked to either the person or the group that the person is in (which would be fine with me).</P>

[Tzen]

Yeah CADD, or maybe a proximity lock where if you move from the node the encounter or what ever you want to call it will break the lock.

<P>All they will do is hurt themselves if it is changed.</P> <P>Pets act as group members, that will never change.</P> <P>If our pet has agro, we harvest.  If our pet has agro, other people in the group can harvest.  </P> <P>If the tank has agro, the healers can harvest.</P> <P>If they change it then no one will be able to harvest every if anyone is engaged and I doubt people want that changed.</P>

[Tharangus]

<DIV>Aye, nerf this for us and it will have to apply to anyone who is grouped and in combat.  Maybe that won't be such a bad thing after all.  I've been in a couple of situations where people were more focused getting their rares than helping the team.</DIV>

[DantesInfer]

Sounds to me like a bunch of whiners who see us able to do things that they can't. It's a stupid petty request to remove our ability to harvest while pet beats down the mobs. Hopefully SOE will see through this innane crap and tell them to f/ck off

[Gargamel]

Not so much of an outright nerf, but a typical SOE reaction to botters and macro'ers (people said that necro/conj would use pets to make it safter to harvest nodes if they built this into their macro) Thats why you can cast one spell and go back to it... in their mind they want to make it more of a pain (less effective) to macro, but not remove it entirely. Anyway I'm sick (in all these MMOs) of the vast majority getting screwed because of doomday 'what if' theoreticals and the .1% of cheaters. <div></div>
