/signed.

I can't believe its gone unfixed all this time. NM and HM.

Please fix the patrols. Pretty please.

You can die off spawn in FoW, don't propagate falsehood.

I've heard no count of that happening?

Summary of the OP:

"Don't flame me for saying hard mode is too hard.

Hard mode is too hard."

Slaver's Exile is not the only place where patrols will grief on you the res shrine.

Res shrine camping is annoying at the best of times, but to punish load speed rather than poor agro control is not acceptable

Thank you for not getting the point at all, and while you were at it, contributing nothing worthwhile.

Try reading the replies and the actual body of the OP.

This mob isn't a res shrine mob, it's an entry mob - you load, you aggro, period. If your team has DSL connections and good vid cards, cool, you might kill 'em if you're expecting them. If you have one or two slow loaders, you're eff'ed up. Better have the slow loaders not take heroes, but if you're pugging, it can become a problem (in 2 years I was never asked if I was a slow loader).

I agree a fix would be nice, and no, I'm not complaining that it's too hard and such.

There have been other areas where you get mobbed upon entry occasionally, but this is different.

1. It's not just a fluke spawn location, it happens every time if you don't move back fast enough.
2. You can't get back there by just going through a portal by a town. And you can't return to a town or another area by going through a portal if things go badly. You're stuck, and have to get there all over again. It's not that hard to get there but it does take some time... which is annoying given that it's completely unnecessary.

Punishing slow loaders is not a "challenge". It's just stupid.

Zeek Aran · Oct 28, 2007, 04:09 AM // 04:09

Please, sir.

It's spelled 'ridiculous'. There is not an 'e' in that word.

Bryant Again · Oct 28, 2007, 04:17 AM // 04:17

Hard mode is supposed to be difficult, not annoying.

So /signed

Sometimes the wandering group to the left (on spawn) will aggro. It's not as bad as Slavers but you can rack up minor DP.

Gj reading the thread, srsly go and uninstall windows and throw your computer off of your roof, When you ZONE (aka LOAD) into the dungeon, you have literally 10 seconds to back up or 2x aggro, now.. If someone has a slower computer, and they don't move back, its their fault? No its Anets..! Change the patrol

Like 1/100, not worth bringing up

Vinraith · Oct 28, 2007, 06:28 AM // 06:28

There should never be a spawn right by a door, period, for exactly the reason that often groups will load into an area piecemeal and one should not be forced to fight a mob short handed because of a person on a slow connection.

So? The point was that it occasionally happens.

Areanet is too busy making things like fading text and double NPCs and Skills to fix bugs like this.
But anyway, they won't fix it, but /signed for the thread of hope.

That only complicates the problem. Fail.

And occasionally I err 7, does this mean I should petition for A net to wake up and meet my every need?

Bankai · Oct 28, 2007, 06:49 AM // 06:49

While I have no idea whether it should be fixed, that was a very well written OP.

?_? That's odd. That's exactly what it looks like you are doing.

Ulterion · Oct 28, 2007, 07:15 AM // 07:15

I doubt that anet will fix the patrol issues. They have the tendency of breaking a bit more than they fix.

Perfect examples:
Text Fade (strains Eyes and was an unnecessary change)
Dishonorable Hex (wastes time, oppresses players, ruins PvP entirely)
/report (gives emo's too much leverage esp. if people simply have bad connection problems).
