So I was all excited to finish my Arx key without using a whole bunch of people, now that MOTM is supposed to drop off the praesertum's in Sanctus Seru and allow for pet tanking once again. I killed the first 3 praesertums just fine, no MOTM buff, only to find Praesertum Rhugol still has the MOTM IV buff. Hopefully this can be looked at and fixed, as he currently cant be tanked by pets due to aggro transfer, unlike the other 3.
Well in theory, wouldn't all of them have the MOTM buff if it was affecting all Luclin mobs? Sounds like a smaller issue potentially only affecting one, unless you've confirmed with other raid mobs from said era.
Luclin NPC's lose MotM during The Buried Sea. https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq...-on-phinny-at-this-point.248510/#post-3653270
This definitely sounds like something they somehow overlooked and should fix. Did you try posting on the latest bugs thread? Sometimes they are more responsive to issues posted there.
Some of the open world mobs don't lose their MotM until they die at least once and reset or the zone crashes. Why, because reasons.
The logic to set MotM on an NPC occurs when they spawn. The script will not run again if they are already up when the expansion opens that would mean they shouldn't have MotM anymore, and even if it did, there is no logic to revert their stats. A major rewrite would be necessary to handle this edge case.
Ah, that makes perfect sense. Thanks for explaining! I suspect i would have done the same thing in your shoes. Maybe in this edge case the person concerned can petition customer support to do something to respawn the mob? If it's already up I wouldn't think this would be too much of an ask. I guess it depends on what CS is allowed to do.
