My 52 necro can solo in SF for hours on end without any kind of add he can't handle. Any druid or bard with half a brain can kite around any number of adds in skyfire. I like the change, instead of beeing rage, he's now sevesomeoranother 2. People will have a tracker out for him at the appropriate times, once he spawns they race each other by gating into SF. I think it's a huge improvement over having someone sit in sol b at a fixed spawn all day.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Aggro in SF works differently than in most other zones then. I was expecting that, like in most zones, aggro will chain.

I just wanna get this straight in my head.. I'll do a hypothetical thing here.

Cleric1 is sitting on rage. Cleric2 with his guild is in FGs, but cleric1 doesnt know this.

Rage pops. Cleric1 calls in his guild while Cleric2 starts buffing. Cleric1's guild gets there, and starts buffing as cleric2's guild finishes buffing.

Cleric1 hands in the pearl. The dragon spawns. Cleric2's guild comes in and takes the dragon, and cleric2 loots the heart.

Now cleric2 has a pearl to get the heart, AND a heart. Cleric1 is screwed because you NEED A PEARL to spawn Rage to get the heart.
This was bad.

Now as it is: You wait one day (More or less) In solB for the merchant form to spawn. You give him the pearl. He gives you a hint as to where he will appear next (Skyfire).

Since the killable verzion of Zordak is utterly independant of the merchant version, you do NOT need the pearl to spawn him anymore.. So if someone takes the dragon from you, and loots that heart container thing, You dont have to worry about starting your entire quest again.

Thats how I saw this. Maybe I'm wrong, I dunno, but I see it as an excellent change.

Mostly. No more FG raids with Aego up.

[QB]This is bad. Plain and simple.

Cleric #1 gives pearl to Merchant Zordak.

Dragon Zordak spawns.

Cleric #2 KSes him.

Cleric #1 is stuck with a pearl that won't spawn Zordak.

It doesnt work that way now. Read the information again.

So, theoretically, you could get the heart container before the pearl, then?

Yeah, but yer not supposed to know where the dragon version spawns until the merchant tells you.

People will figure out his spawnpoint in no time, unless they put him on a random spawn location in skyfire.

I did all the steps for the Cleric epic up to Zordak, the Elemental, the king note and the Priest in Sol Temple, by myself within 2 days.

The Priest only took 2 groups and I got my guild to help me do that on the second day after I finished what I could do solo. The king note drops so often that it's rare for a guild not to have a few spares.

This quest is too easy from the start. That's the problem.

Unless you want it to be this easy, then why not just give every cleric his epic as soon as he dings 50?

Is it a 3 day spawn on a fixed timer? or is it as Absor posted:

"every few days (except after a server goes down, then he will appear a little faster)."

It should be 51. That's the level the effect is usable at.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piƱa coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?
