artifacts.

Sorry m8, had been circling those islands whole day.. been doing it one day earlier also and got a key wich didnt work made me angreh :mad: Yesterday i came back after a short cloudsong raid and saw that they had spawned, unfortunually someone have bugged the island so the statues dont stand around the pedistal and i couldnt have the belt again, so my best tip is to only do it on the island wich is not bugged (got statues at pedistal)

if theres someone or somegroup or some battlegroup at an encounter and they have activated it you should leave them till they are finished with the encounter. Thats the derived from the CoC.

Ettiquette and common sense should be applied in abundence though.

tensions seems to run high with peoples ToA ambisions, the fun should be getting the items not having them.

i got jack shit so far tbh but its a good laugh testing all these new encounters.

If theres a group at an encounter its theres BUT ist very lame to have a rezzer out of group incase u die cus then effectivly u can perma camp the artifact and that is very lame.

I do not agree. Same argument could be applied to fins spots etc. Lame to have an out of grp rezzer there cause some other grp might want to jump in if they wipeout?

If people where there first, I think its good "Ettiquette and common sense" to quote Censi to leave them to it, even if they want to farm an artifact for each member of their grp and be there all day. Come back another day, theres really not such a rush to grab all these artifacts is there? Go farm a scroll, do a ML, gofor a different artifact etc.

Boni this isnt xping where there is suitable alternatives to fins this is ONE of a kind artifacts and its only a matter of time before ppl with your attitude lock down all good arts/scrolls and start to sell scrolls at stupid prices cus they was there 1st and didnt bother leaving.Happened on US will happen here if we use yours and censi attitude

If u want my opinion, or even if you dont ! here it is.

I playd EQ for 3 years and from day one you had long camps for certain mobs for certain quests, not necessarily high level quests. I knew of some spanws that were random from 6 hours to 24 hours and knew of people camping them the whole time.

I also know of people who would sit online crafting or whatever at the spawn spot for long time and soon as the mob popped an uber guild of shitheads would waltz in to the scene and kill it, the guy had the spot, he lost the mob and the quest. That happened a lot in EQ due to the high number of american school kids playing, i think it will happen to DAOC now they intrduced long camps for mobs.

Bad.

I've been camping Tyrees for a week now, she hasn't dropped a fucking thing...then the bitch asks for a group WTF!!1 The audacity of someone to never lg out and pretend to be a named mob just sucks imo, and sticking to and invisible non aggro mob that drags her around so the looks very mob like...there should be something in the COCk about that!

Ok I see your point, but..

Would this really happen here on hib excal? Do we have the numbers of people in TOA that would do this? I liked camping galla when it was fresh but even with every chanter and his dog going for BM Fang and Conservator trash they where available most of the time. TOA has loads of nice camps for artifacts and scrolls (not to mention 100 ml steps most of which drop stuff), enough to go around?

Worst case as far as I can see is that for a couple of the most popular/campable artifacts will be in demand, and like fins lists you might have to get up early in the day or play 'off peak' if you cant get invited into the grp thats there.

Can you block someone from farming scrolls? (Im a bit of a scroll- noob so I could be wrong here..) Dont scrolls just drop from mobs of a certain type (or two), with multiple spawn locations?

Is it possible that this is just being blown up now cause its the first week of TOA and of course every impatient rvr'er is desperate to get all their artifacts this week and some spawns are bound to be over camped?

Well anyway, even if it is a problem, the alterative of people running around stealing camp sights of people who are genuinly camping for their own artifacts appeals far less.

I agree. (fyi we didnt have BB out of group) and you called me greedy when I was just there to help someone in guild get an artifact. (prolly the same thing you were doing)

Well I atleast know I not been an artifact horny player, me and some TD m8s were at the Shades of Mists spawn, and we helped out twice with grps trying to get the cloak. ie,. resses and in the end jumping in to help kill the last sphinx cos there was no way in hell the grp were going to do before the encounter reset. Didnt get much of a thanks ( except Toki, who said he would help us if we needed it, wub u man :wub: ) , but thats hib I guess.

Helping them basically meant we couldnt get the drop that day, but atleast we did the right thing and helped out. Just wish more hibbies would do that. How I miss the beta days, when hibby was such a nice and friendly realm.
