Emp Ssra

[EZ_AcNpoc]

Went to ssra tonight for a late night small crew play raid. and noticed emp had a few new changes.

Anyone else notice the odd changes?

[EZ_Lucard]

You mean like the 1 foot tether?
The mem blur?
The effect wipe?
The insane 20%ish regen of all hp on warp?

Yeah sucks bad. I seriously hope this is a bug.

[EZ_Radient]

yup!

[EZ_Skarr Orcbutcher]

a GM told my guild to not attempt him again until after the holidays. Tho if you have over 100 people in the zone you can kill him with the help of lag

[EZ_ginlan]

Killed emp on brell yesterday with a small crew no problems encountered.

[EZ_svarien4001]

WTF would be the point of making a 2.5 year old encounter harder again? Oh no, gotta stop that massive rush of ppl just dying to farm Luclin end-game.

I noticed today servers (Vazaelle anyway) had gone down and come back up, any news as to wether Emp is still screwy?

[EZ_Seudien]

Killed him yest and the day before (thanks patch) no probs at all

[EZ_Tumnayar DiSalvo]

He was same as always on Morrel-Thule.

[EZ_Sanchek]

They put the tether on him to keep people from exploiting to warp him out of his room. They just got the tether a lot too short, in some directions. Will be fixed in the 12/23 patch most likely.

[EZ_ceno controldacrowd]

Killed him for the first time last night (yay us) on the rathe. Nothing unusual encountered at all, cornered him, killed him. Very easy fight, but being an enc on CC duty it was damn boring.

Cen.

[EZ_Sendaught]

Killed him last night on Vazaelle with 40ish. I sure hope the new changes aren't permanent. What's up with that complete cure/dispell? Trying to make dots and slows useless? And the mem wipe was fun. After a while, we just stopped the ch chain and started spot healing whoever got hit, cause no way a tank can hold agro when he mem wipes every 30 sec or so. Didn't notice any massive regen, though the fight took forever.

[EZ_Eabon]

2 Nights ago, we had 30 ppl at Emp, mostly ele/first tier time equipped people, some lower equipped people, Everyone there had prior exp with emp, and he owned the @#%$ out of us. We had a tank with double EB, and if a melee as much as kicked him aggro would turn, 20seconds into the fight all melee were down and it was just the tank on him. Somehow emp ran from the tank, after moving 1foot he warped back and regenned from 96 to 99pct. We got owned

[EZ_Lucard]

It seems he is not the same on all servers. Some servers he has not changed at all and on some he is completely broken. I seriously hope they get this fixed some time soon.

[EZ_bippinfv]

Yup, also saw the tether and mem-wipe and debuff on FV a few nights ago. We still killed him, but he was a lot harder than used to be.

[EZ_WarriorRmog]

We did him a few days ago

Nothing different

Wonder why would be on some severs and not all

[EZ_svarien4001]

anyone on a server whose emp previously had a problem know if his tether is working properly yet?

[EZ_Dufrel]

Was messed up for us before the last patch, killed him afterwards and seems back to normal.

[EZ_Fins Macgalis]

I made a post about this on the warrior boards. For about 1 or 2 days, Emp was tethered about 1 foot, memwiping, dispelled, etc. We got him down to ~40% until he warped and slaughtered half of our raid (memwipe does numbers, heh). After that, he regened back up to ~72% and the morale of the raid plummetted to like below zero. We wiped and went home furious, but hey, what can ya do?

The next day he was back to normal - no tether, no memwiping, no dispelling. He's still probably tethered, but the tether length is that of his room. I have SCREENSHOTS of him at the zoneline, so obviously they had to do something.

[EZ_Dagny Blazestorm]

Wouldn't anyone that might otherwise pull him to the zone line be so ashamed of having someone see them doing it at the zoneline that they wouldn't do it? Seriously, where I'm from, exploitation of that magnitude would perpetually mark a guild for ridicule.

[EZ_Qutsemnie]

no.

Where im from everything gets pulled to the easiest spot that doesnt get you banned.

[EZ_Fins Macgalis]

A lot of times when guilds pulled him to the zoneline, it was by sheer accident. It had something to do with a dot going and being evac'd at the same time, usually in a time of wiping. The person who had a dot going, whether it be a necro, beastlord, shaman, or whatever, would appear at the zoneline and a tick of the dot would hit Emp. Emp then moves his arse to zoneline in pursuit and an entirey new set of problems arise.

This has happened to a couple of guilds on my server, mine included. I know they're not doing it intentially either because, well, they're all dead, hehe. If Emp actually pathed back in a reasonable time, it really wouldn't have been *that* much of a problem, but he doesn't. He'll stand at the zoneline unagro'd for a good 10 to 15 minutes before even flinching. Of course, with people moving about, entering Ssra, and various other things happening, this keeps resetting his timer or whatever and he essentially camps the zone in indefinitely until another guild comes in and dispatches him.

Don't people have anything resembling pride anymore?

[EZ_Theivan01]

theres a difference between pride, and killing him where "intended". and being smart enough to move him elsewhere. some call it exploiting, others would call it thinking.

[EZ_Acturian]

only guild to have ever warped emp down to zone got their asses handed to them on Quts's server, it was done once. the other emp-killers farm him, and emp capable guilds like ours just aren't doing it. shard camp sux~

[Biggwin]

What would have rocked would be seeing them pull the emp to the zone getting them low enough so he gates then him summoning all of them to die single quick deaths

[EZ_Oak Pinewalker]

Did him not too long ago again.

Seemed like more HP and it looked like our MT had a hard time keeping his attention for the first 20pct, but from there it was easy.
