Most hated NPCFollow

Let me ask something about the Roost first level because now I'm curious. When I first went in I'd go over to the ledge there and wonder where it went, I had levitate so thought you know "well, normally I can't just die from falling in this case" but there's just something intimidating about ledges. But I saw what looked like islands in the mist and was like "What is that?" So at one point I'm knocked off the ledge and am floating downward amd I freak out thinking "what if it just kills me?" like the game is just "oh you'er so high up your die anyway even with levitation" and so I hit a Yonder spell just as a last effort not to die, and I appear and I'm dead but it looks like I'm near water with islands, or mountaintiops, not far away- but it's something about A TRAP in the text; death by trap of some kind. So I'm like, "does this mean I die if I go over the ledge?" and I never tried anything afterward since I didn't want to risk dying again "there goes that fool leaping off the edge again"

So what happens when you go over the ledges here?





Yes thanks.

Yeah right now that you mention that I seem to recall that there were two times I went over the ledge; the first time I had no gate-type spell memorized and so I just drifted downward and I thought "guess we're finding out what happens..." got the loading screen with the "TRAP" text and reappeared at the succor point in the graveyard.

Then I got knocked over a second time, had the Yonder spell memorized so cast it while I was floating downward as a last ditch because I remembered I only had a short time, and I appeared standing somewhere, with what looked liked islands in the mist/clouds but I hadn't died. I was glad not to be dead so quick abscond to the succor point- and that is where I started wondering if the was something there that you could get to, and if the "TRAP" part that got me was a "you fell to your death even though having levitation" or was genuinely just a trap that I somehow hit, but there's a path or something you can levitate to, etc. But the risk seemed too great

Speaking of, the original (un-nerfed) phase spiders from Dragon Necropolis. You'd get hit, shadow-stepped onto a bone pile and now your group had a sweet dragon skeleton thingie to fight as well.

Wasn't trying to directly compare. Obviously I've been on both PoF raids in the old days and DN groups. Still, my first time in DN, I died on the first 3/3 pulls due to phase spiders so they stuck with me.

Fippy Darkpaw! Someday, vengance will be mine!!!!!

Yes I believe that is the exact view I had from the rock (closest rock to the teleporter on level one). Mist or clouds at and below the level that I landed at iirc. The rock had a perfectly flat surface.
Picture a pedestal like island with a flat surface in the middle of a deep gourge in the Grand Canyon, except you cannot see the bottom of the gourge much because of a layer of clouds blocking it...


Oopse....... getting carried away.

The Tangrin

People kiting him (or, y'know, running for their lives) off his island toward the Pit or ECab or EJ would inevitably dump aggro running past lowbies.

All.The.Time.

When my monk got all growed up I want back for revenge...more than once because, seriously, **** that monkey.

Wow, man, you DO hold a grudge! LOL. Hate to get on YOUR bad side...

Dorn..... I was new to EQ and was taken to Oasis to hunt crocs. I had no idea where I was, lol. I had to log early, so was told to keep running North, zone a couple of times and I'd be in Freeport and from there I knew the way to East commons where I had been "living". Over the hills I went, then, like you, WHAM. LOADING...... Back in GFay and totally not sure of what happened or where my corpse was. A Druid had said EC was a better place to XP than GFay, which it was as I kept getting lost among those trees, and had ported me to WC and escorted me to EC. Read the log file, figured out what killed me and from there searched the internet to find out how to get to my corpse. After a long boat ride and a much more timid run South, I had my stuff back. Didn't go back that way for a long time afterwards.

I can agree with Grimmy. He was the mob that taught me to always pay attention to my surroundings. I'd be kiting a griffenne and here comes GrimFeather, trying to block me. Chromodracs were always mana murderers. Like, we'd buff and port into Skyfire to go to Burning Woods to do Ixiblat Fer and undoubtedly, someone would run into a chromodrac and lose an important buff. They never strip the useless ones (like KEI on a rogue/Warrior/Monk), always the haste/hp/ATK buff.



Same. I won't wear frog illusion because I hate how they look and I "grew up" killing them (Upper Guk, Lower Guk, Sebilis). I'd sell all of my Iksar Hide masks too but no one wants to buy 'em.



I've done both of those things. Hate that heifer.

The NPC I hate the most is Ragefire, in all his forms.

I still see this reference today! I think it's some kind of "in joke" by the devs they trot out on rare occasion when a player is about to die.

As always, thanks much Yther -- been out of the game since 06 and was wondering what the LoN/Loot Card thing was about. Apparently kicking my account back and going gold entitled me to some of these and I was just completely unaware what to do about them.

Ty again
