Do not do the Crazed Norrathians Trial - All Read !!!

[lelara]

Hey Warriors,

You all remember the Halls of Honor "nerf" they implemented?

There was so much controvesy over bards pulling the whole zone and then they made mobs summon.

After lots of more complaints, they changed it again to this time, if an individual aggroes more than 4 mobs (I think it's 4 mobs) they gate back to thier original spots of something like that.

Now the designers of this "nerf" brilliantly did not figure out that it would also work on the trial mobs. Those who know this trial, we are suppose to kill mobs that pop and don't let them kill any of the trigger "npc".

However, thanks to "nerf" those mobs gate. Eventually the mobs killed the trigger NPCs to continue the trial had it was blown.

How dumb can they get. With this, this trial can't be done properly. They better fix this soon or no one can pass the trial and zone into Mithaneal Marr's zone.

Good job on thier part. It was really frustrating.

my guild did the trial to finish up a few backflags just the other night (somewhere between weds-friday of last week) and didn't have a problem that i knew of.

did i miss a patch somewhere between then?

[Choppin]

we did this trial 2 days ago, had no problems.

[Smohg]

That's probably the old "warp back" bug.

[Brudal the Fat]

Did the trial several times since patch, no problems with warping or gating mobs for us though.

[wandor]

We did the trial since the patch and had no problems.

Hey again warriors,

Finally my guild isn't the only guild having the same problem.

How in the world did your guilds make through it?

We had mobs gating not when they were low on health but at 90% health and they suddenly dissapear.

Tiring trial and a pure waste of time for my guild.

Probably Depends on the strategy your guild uses's...

Do you guys Kite Rooms 2/3 or something?

Too many aggro and go for 1 person = warp/gate = despawned crazed norrathian = blown trial. I don't really feel that's an acceptable fix. It doesn't much matter how skilled or well-equipped you are. Any guild that actually needs these flags is likely to experience trial blowage due to poor design rather than their own actual mistakes or shortcomings.

I know they wanted to fix the HUGE problem (note: sarcasm) of bards kiting the whole abandoned piece of crap HoH zone in between guilds doing the trials, but come on...

This change has very little to zero effect on my guild. We've backflagged this trial many, many times in the past. As unpopular as randomly summoning mobs was with HOH soloers, it was a FAR better "fix" than this poorly thought out change.

[Zantaer]

We've done crazed Norrathains and VP trial prolly 5 times each and I've never seen a problem with it. Half the time I end up kiting a bunch duo with a bard and I'v e never seen problems with it.

Heh, this was just added to the safehouse thread - if there's nothing fishy about this "fix" then please explain this:

I have no experience with this quest/trial, but if mobs gate if more than 4 has agroed the same player, then getting below 40% HP would overagro mobs and turn all on one player and start the gating.
Guilds that have progressed further would probably have slightly better gear and therefore stay over 40% HP easier, while newer guilds would not be able to do that as easily.
