For once I decided to go to a city that was being invaded. But as soon as I try to kill one monster another comes along and takes it out from under me. But do you have so much fun acting like idiots??? But the average age of the players is 15 years or even less?????

With my tamer I can't get to any monsters. But I said enough of complaining on the other post. And now I try to close this. Thanks for the reply!

If I understand you correctly - that people are swooping in and killing your targets - it's relatable. On Europa, I'd say at least half the regular Invasion participants are entirely scripted. They all move around the same way, they all engage enemies the same way, and they basically never pause. I presume they are at their computers watching the script execute though, to respond to edge case scenarios.

A few hours ago, the Invasion on Europa was at Moonglow. I died at one point and ran out the town for a wandering healer. Shortly after resurrecting, two players running scripts somehow ended up outside the city fence, and were therefore sweeping through the forest killing ALL the animals they encountered, in the exact same way they do for the invasion mobs.

It actually doesn't irritate me that they are scripting, but they do sometimes drag paragons around with them, even dragging them over to the Artifact Turn-In/Healer NPC west of East Britain invasions, which has resulted in me getting res-killed on one occasion. That's the real irritation: they sometimes drag spawn around and cause problems for others, I find that more annoying than them killing a mob I'm in the process of one-shotting with a flamestrike.

Now I understand why I heard about robots! So it's useless for me to go with my pet who, no matter how strong he is, is slow and will never be able to hit a monster. But are certain scripts legal? Is it legal to disturb other people's gaming? However, I do without invasions. I'm only annoyed by the Solen Hive which are full of monsters at all hours when instead they should 'turn' a bit like cities, which are not invaded at the same time and at all hours. A little disappointed but that's okay. I will kill monsters by playing fair. And if there is anyone who can close this post, I would be happy

Rinse, repeat with you and your whining. Don't you ever get tired of being upset at a GAME? Go touch some grass. Or better yet...find a different game that can hopefully bring you enjoyment. Though you'd probably find something to get upset about at a baby shower.

If you don't like my posts, no one is forcing you to read them. Or are you doing it on purpose for the pleasure of offending me? Do me a favor, block me because now you're exaggerating and I can't stand your stupid criticisms anymore, okay?

We have some on Great Lakes too. As much as they annoy me, sometimes if I'm alone and they kill enough spawn, I kind of appreciate it.

Yup always 2 all day long on GL... sometimes they step on a teleporter that takes you to a roof and they stay there running back and forth

Tbh I exaggerated a bit, I said at least half are bots which depending on how popular the invasion is, may be true. When it's busy, I think more than half the players are actually playing.

I echo your other sentiment, without those scripters going around slaughtering large swaths of mobs, it would get too chaotic (in towns like Moonglow) for my lowly mage. When there's too many paragons for me to handle, I sometimes invis, and soon enough they'll sweep through with their script killing most of it, if not all of it. They act like pressure relief valves when their is low player attendance. There's just that many mobs spawning quickly enough that the scripting, dare I say, helps. It would be a different story if ~40 people were participating though.

I knew that the number of monsters depends on the number of players. I'm talking about dungeons. If you go alone you will find few monsters, if other players arrive the monster spawn increases. I'm talking about what happened years ago. I don't know, this also applies to invasions, but I tried to go to the Solen Hive of Europe and I was alone and there were very few monsters, which were quite easy for me to kill. But then the necroboss arrived and I ran away. On Atlantic, where there are many more players, their presence could affect the amount of monsters. Even if most of them are robots, the system doesn't know it and releases lots of monsters. A closed circle, in short. The more players arrive (real or not) the more monsters there are. To the detriment of everyone :(

Where did I imply i was being forced to read them? This thread is literally the exact same complaint that you've made another post about, and also the original post is copy pasted from you whining in ANOTHER thread.

Again I ask, Why do you play a game that all you do is spend time complaining/whining on the forums? Doesn't it get old? You are paying to be upset lol.

You go girl. Go indeed.

I hang out in Uhall. You are one of the loudest voices lately. Its impossible to not see it and also see you rehashing the same complaint over and over and over and over. I'll continue to remind you that you are paying to be upset. Just as you will continue to whine about the same things over and over.

I've played my tamer for about 90% of the invasions. The trick is to focus on AEO spells to cause a damage to a lot of mobs rather than killing individual mobs with your pet. Save your pet for paragons/large pulls. Personally, I run around looking for chests and dropping Wildfires, then let my pet hunt as I work on the chest. Way more fun than my sampire IMO.

To tell the truth, I moved to an archer from Europe. I friended her in the Atlantic house and now I play with that too. Tonight I got my first trophy, a good Kasa but above all the satisfaction of being able to compete a bit. I chose the most isolated places and with few players and I did a few kills too :) It was Trinsic, I think. I will always play with tamers, they are my passion. But, for invasions, the archer is much more fun!!
