NPC's fizzling a spell

[Mike]

I think their spawning more spiders and nerfing loot. 1 outa 4-5 ancient drops a cloth which last time was subs item id if im right. Sometimes even 2 destard runs dont give you any forty/invul plate/chain armor pieces.

We tend to find a whole bunch of massive cloths.

[Andoriel]

did you staff people increase the loot from monsters? If not then no more shrooms for you people

[Boris]

Fixing a bug and boosting monsters are two different things.

As mentioned, if this makes a clear difference - I can pop out more high-end to open grounds.

Rather spawns medium mobs to open grounds and high-end who drop better loot to dungeons.
Since eventually you will remove the open ground high-end mobs away anyway. Youve done it in front of my eyes even.

[Boris]

Many were taken away and many have come back.

What was so much different in killing high-end giants compared to before the fix?

- Boris

[Simmo]

I dont know, im just following others.
I guess if you make Cloud Giant fail the spell then he goes into a nut cake. Emo mode on those high-end giants is pretty badass. Running 10 tiles - 360 degree - 10 tiles takes like almost no time at all for em.

last time i hunted it, the cloud giant was literally acting hysterical. it was funny and annoying at the same time, it seemed as if a gm was controlling it

[Boris]

I can't recall a change in NPCAI. Looking for the difference in fizzling?

last khaldun hunt we found like 5-6 substanial cloths, and only subs cloths was rather lame lol

[Glarundis]

about fizzling spells i'm being quite successful, whenever i hit monsters the spell fails. ofc we're talking about troll shamans, ophidian mages, that kind of stuff. djinnies i think i was very successful too
