About damn time. Removing the HP just stopped people from setting their HP there, it did nothing to alieviate the problem of hundreds of people already having it there.

Yea, I think i'm gonna be really pleased with this update, as well as a crap load of other ppl. ^.^

I'm a bit confused about the tax situation. Was that changed in order to promote ppl to use the an AH that isnt in Al Zhabi?

 

[Taurothar]

I wanna know what the "cap" of people in al zahbi is.

 

[Bajaratt]

I wanna know what the "cap" of people in al zahbi is.

750 people. After that we get the GTFO system message.

How do we kill them if they're running away This doesn't make much sense to me >.>

 

[Khajit]

we are soo screed now that they wont run away when they finally reach the cadence

 

[Pupusa]

Guessing "Provoke" and other actions will be more neccesary now. That and binding them, etc. S-E just wants us to lose already, soon enough they'll say that Beastmen will be wearing GM armor LOL.

 

[decidence]

They want us to lose so they can release the new storyline content prolly.

 

[Flameass]

yeah like 41 for 41 so far last i checked.

 

[Rones]

If they didn't force the beastmen to run so quickly they might actually win. However, then the battles would last hours.

 

[Peregrine]

They used to agro. Now you might have to claim them to stop them or sleep them to stop them.

 

[Arylias]

Oh ok, it makes more sense now. lol

 

[Mistra]

Interesting update.

Yes but this change is only put into effect if theres a max amount of people in zone. You can still be sent to al zahbi when besieged isnt going on.

 

[Mishaela]

Think it means they'll head for the AC rather than randomly agro people? If they totally ignored people wailing on em, it'd actually be easier since there'd be no deaths (as opposed to the occasional corpsepiles we've been having)

 

[Khajit]

Wait a sec thta means the tanks actually have to voke. OMG finally they can make the mob stay still long enough for me to sata it or use assassin.

I wasn't aware Assassin was a usable ability. ;-)
