went to echo caverns last nite and just as you enter the main there is a passage to the right that is full of nameed npc there is a lv 21 ranger PLing with a 30+ some thing healer (cleric i think) He tells me he is camping the named toons at his lev (and I watched) it is taking like 5-6 min to take down one npc they are regening faster than he can clear I point this out and tell him I am here for just a bit and would he mind if I took a few. he send tell "NO I AM CAMPING THE NAMED" ok theres like 10 named in this cavern what would you guys do I just left but wished I had started healing to npc just to be rude.

To be honest, it's not worth the trouble or time to even argue with him about it. It may suck that he's being so rude, but you're better off not dealing with it anyway. You did the right thing. Getting in a pissing contest with him would've just ruined your night in the end (and no, it wasn't me, even though it may sound like it).

You're going to run into asshats in this game. It's the downside to it being "massively multiplayer". Just don't start generalizing that everybody playing an alt is an asshat too Smiley: wink.

Um... Isn't that the cave with the vendors and such in it? Do you actually get exp for killing them? Do they even drop anything? If not, then what's the point? There's lots better places to gain exp I would think. Maybe I'm wrong though. Been awhile since I leveled a character through those levels.

I think he got his directions confused and was actually in the mutant refugee camp. The one with Torin and the Preacher guy and whatnot. The hidden merchants and guards would smear a lvl 30 who attacked them.

Anyway, what was previously said: find another camp. Even if the guy was being rude, you being rude back won't make him stop. Oh, and you can't heal NPCs/Mobs Smiley: wink2

Yes, but you can fear them into aggro mobs. Smiley: sly That's how I used to deal with as[/b]shats.

fear, fd and ksing ahh so many ways of dealing with an *** when you are a necro, thats really half the point of being a necro.

I cant tell you how many times Ive loaded up my main and trained the entire fort and dragoons in OT becasue a group came along and tried to steal my mobs when I was soloing a babby.

The beauty of fd is you get to sit there and watch!

no shammy can do that elorian! LOL JK

I have fought the urge to train asshats before. I had some guy who kept training skeletons to me and FDd in the dining area of Kurns becoause he wanted the camp. Trouble was my pally killed them all!

I was finally chased in the end, but that was intense hehe...

Later in the Basement of Kurns with monk, some group was horning in on our Jester camp. I remarked I should train them, and then about 3 minutes later I got feared and I DID train them! Unintentionally to be sure...

Speaking of camping in Echo Caverns....I usually camp the room where the bogling scouts and the occasional needlite are. I'm not the type of player that needs to kill everything in the room, just as long I can kill something. My question is: Is it safe for me to assume that when a player leaves this room for bank or vendor runs or has to leave due to "health reasons" that it is now my turn?

i hate when people claim something as a camp that isnt really a camp. like in paludal if someone claims the phatogs or the first floor of kurns or something where it is clearly a ffa, as if they are entitled to the mobs because they call it a camp. I respect something like b1 in paludal everyone knows is a camp.

Technically, Sony/EQ does not recognize "camps" at all.

There are Patogs in Paludal that can be considered "camps". Someone's usually clearing out the ledge path and the rock bridge, and some other rooms with various Plarg Fiends further in. A group or duo of characters could easily keep one of the upper floors of Kurn's cleared for exp.

Just because you don't acknowledge it as a camp doesn't mean someone else might.

For myself I would have said "You cant keep the mobs killed you cant claim the entire camp. Play nice policy says share.If you need any buffs let me know." I would then kill a mob or two and leave.

I was about to say this also. Just going to add, so long as you're the first to engage a mob, you have rights to that mob. I am unclear on what engage means (proximity agro or first damage or agro not caused by proximity). Would appreciate if someone could clear that part up.

In other words, everything is a FFA with very few exceptions: triggered mobs like Arch Lich in Ssra come to mind. Also, killing blob2 in VT supposedly grants rights to that raid force for killing up through Aten.

hi first poster i hope to god you wern't talking about me
i was in echo with my cleric and ranger being pwerleveled by my druid , but was only killing guards 99% of time and a few mutants things, no one ever asked me to let them kill , only asked for buffs which i always gave. i was on maylen server can't spell that right. i killed my faction with the gurds and can't goto shadow haven but was worth the exp.

so i hope this is just a conwinceadince, god i can't spell with ranger and cleric, lvl's were ranger 26 cleric 28 until lvl 32 then i changed to my warrior lvl 32 and cleric 32 till 39th lvl took 2 days, no loot but a few pp per kill.

i know i never responded to anyone that i was killing named though, just guards.
