Atlantis Report post Posted November 18, 2006 It gives you a global early warning of those strange invasions in the VOTD area I know what GWIS is...the "efficency" was what was in question. was curious is cyc as low as the invasion'd votd monsters and up to aritcs? or has there been lower monsters and higher monsters, i havent seen maybe invasions usually never hear about it untill after lol I saw trolls once. Cyc should be minimum tho imo, when troll invasion happened as I was walking thru votd I took out like 25 of them alone, so make it something that at least takes a bunch of people 80 a/d + to kill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd need a minimum of fluffies then. :-S -Blee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derin Report post Posted November 18, 2006 Actually it would be a good idea to have monsters of various levels, so that even the 40/40 a/d player feel that they can contribute to the safety of Draia. And you do not have to wade through, for example, 25 trolls if you kill them easy. Just let others tackle the challenge. This is how he GIWS will typically work: GIWS: Invasion Warning!!! Monsters are spawning inside the Gold Mine second cave! All hands to battlestations! GIWS: Invasion Warning!!! Monsters are spawning inside the Gold Mine! All hands to battlestations! Take them out now or in 6 minutes they will invade VOTD! GIWS: Invasion Warning!!! Monsters are spawning in VOTD! GIWS: The invasion is over, but shame on you, you weren't able to kill them all!

Guest ohmygod Report post Posted November 18, 2006 (edited) Bit off topic i know but, kept getting my Arctic Chim DBs bagjumped during the last invasion. There was even a bag jumping mod there too (Green tag and all). Pitty i was too busy watching my health bar or i would have taken a few screen shots.

LabRat Report post Posted November 18, 2006 On one invasion I died, and went back for my deathbag. It was one of these "bagjumping" green tagged mods that gave me my items back - I forget which one (I seem to remember it being LV but I may have been wrong (me?? wrong?? pah!)). Aside: Deathbags are nobody's property, anyone can take them (in invasions it is part of the fun to tell everyone exactly what you lost becuase you're too pr0 to fight carrying a rost while dressed in full tit plate and col), and I can't really see the mods using their exempt status to grab a few pickaxes and other bits and pieces for their own gain..

Guest ohmygod Report post Posted November 18, 2006 (edited) Wel if you have ever killed an Arctic chim you would know that 500gc drops are very common. but hey that what we come to expect in the VOTD Auto invasions. (the bagjumping that is) BTW the name started with D and ended in N Edited November 18, 2006 by ohmygod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derin Report post Posted November 19, 2006 FYI: As i told you in-game. I was not bag jumping. I actually merged bags to reduce the bag spam (in a few cases) and did nothing in most cases. My role was to observe, not to be accused of bagjumping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
