Forgotten Halls Afk Macro Gets New Expedition

I use /moveto loc loops and then check events for when I arrive at the moveto location. I actually have it do this for a group of 5 toons. 4 of them wait at the stone while my bard goes and runs to get the mission. Once the bard has entered FHalls, then the rest of my toons zone in and they all move into the rat room. It can be easily modified to strip it down to move a single toon.
 
:eek: Omg I would so love that macro so I can have my wizzy with me or my sk. Can you plse post up your macro to run that.
 
I been away a bit and just caught up on this thread. Bugs me when people automatically assume precompiled ppl are the ones that stand there AFK. I know for a FACT a few people on my server that do this ARE not people that use precompiles. Generalizations are retarded. Assumptions make an ASS our of U and ME.
 
Who was that intended for? :confused: I know my character has never been afk at the zi. ?shrug I have no clue how they even do that. I've always been in the exp or camped out. but never afk at zi. :cool:
 
You're right, there are alot that dont use precompiled MQ2's, doesnt mean they're smart.... Dont stand there afk and give people something to cry about, GM's a reasone to have to look into the halls. Its not that hard to camp out or get another exp, sheesh...
 
I think I will go find another place, lvl 54 seem to hard in FH, even with Selo on and Run3, rat hit me for almost 1K damage in 1-2 seconds, so I decided to buy hp gear, with now +500 hp, then I buff using my druid, im now close to 2K hp, but that's not enough, think I will need bigger hp gear, but bigger mean 200-500K of pp to spend in gear for a character that is not even my main...

Maybe that's the time to stop too and start playing normally...
 
BTW, I use an 18 Bard, I've noticed that when I fight a Rat that cons Green, once it gets to 40% or so it will run... this is alright, but then after a while I get a little train of rats following me, that all run at 40, meaning I can go almost an hour without getting any XP... Any Ideas how to fix this?

Thanks in Advance

You should read all the thread in my post i already say some information about some level, but will repost them here :

lvl 13 : most mob are light blue, so xp is not good
lvl 18 : most mob are green , so you should not run the macro for this lvl
lvl 28 : most mob are light blue, so xp is not good
lvl 53 : most mob are red , yellow and white , harder but good Xp
lvl 54 : most mob are yellow or white , harder but decent xp
 
Meave is right. my bard is 53 and the rats hit hard as hell hehe. The kills are alot longer now also. Making exp slow now. I tried to play the other day. All I can say is that I think my bard will be so that all my other toons can get aa's cause it's a pretty hard job playing a bard :p
 
Do your best to get to level 54, this level is lot easier, I get up to lvl 55 but decided to get back to 54, xp is lot better, when I will have all my 18 AA then I will go up to 59 and up...
 
I have seen a few mentions of doing this same thing in Vxed too. Does anyone have a location that they get it to work at? I am having some trouble finding an area big enough to kite in...
 
I love this macro!!! If you make a macro for VXed I will be the first to try it!! Great job on this one though. :) thanks
 
But they ask for that macro, everyone know it exist, its just that its a lot harder to find it than this one...
 
I think the MQ2 god, Tone, posted his code at one time up here for a Vxed macro. I would repost but do not have permission and will leave it to him to post if he wants.
 
tone removed his vxed macro ..

the only way to get it is to PM someoneand they send it to you...

or tone posts it again

8-)

or someone creates a new one
 
this looks really nice. can u list your full song list used for this macro, thanks

IE
1 - selos
2 - chant of fire
etc. thanks
 
It is on page 7 of the thread

Now you dont get better song for this, so you will have to invest in few AAs, that's what I just start today. If you follow these tips you should go from 12-51 in about 110 hours, that's seem a lot, but I have die lot and lot of time due to miss of internet connection, not because I was getting hit. And for AFK xp not that bad.

One last thing, buy a drum , use your cash for this, try to affor the best you can.

- Selo's Drums of the March (500-1000 PP) , Modifier 2.4
- Thunderous Drum of Karana (5500-7000 PP) , Modifier 2.8

At first I thougth, well 0.4 modifier of difference wont do a lot, I was wrong, if I had buy this drum first and not at level 45 I will have level really much faster. So try your best to acquire de Thunderous drum it really worth the money !

Yes PM some one so they can post it on KenetixEQ and have every fucking retard in the world running vxed macs^^ The solution is clear be a bard regulator **
 
I love this macro. I've been using forgotten halls for quite a while and this macro takes away alot of the frustration. Thank you. If you do decide to make one for VXed please post it! I for one would love to try it out. Thanks again.
 
I think its a good idea to not post Vxed macro on the board, because just looking at how people use AFK Bard in Forgotten Halls, if they do the same in Vxed that will be the end of awesome aaxp for those that kite there using the macro. Sure that's not everyone here that are irresponsable, but we dnot really know who is and who is not, so hard to trust all members...
 
if you do a search you will find there are many vxed macros already posted some of which are in teh guide section on the macro post i think, Vxed macros been around for a long while before this type where
 
Okay, i have gotten the macro to work the way that i wanted it to. I changed the /circle on 26, both places. i am currently twisting 4 songs, selo-snare/slow-fire dot-disease dot, in the order. i have also added a line before it targets the next mob, to use a healing potion, to ensure that there is little downtime.

now when i first used this macro, months ago, when i /warp succor it would clear agro, and i could sit there all i want. NOW, when i /warp succor the rat still comes and gets me, dunno if this is a bug or what.

back to my post. Since i have gotten everything I wanted to work so far, i was wondering. could i put a loot sub into the macro to loot the corpses? and if i did, where would i put it. im thinking right after the healing potion, before it picks another target. 5pp is still 5pp, and if u kill a lot of mobs overnight that is a good ammount of cash lol.

:loopstart
/doevents
/call GMcheck
/if (${Target.Level}>67) /tar npc next
/if (${Target.Distance}>220) /keypress esc
/if (${Target.ID}==FALSE) /tar NPC radius 220 rat
/if (${Me.PctHPs}<=45) /potionbelt activate 1
/if (${Me.PctHPs}<=30) /warp succor
Now I was thinking that i should
add the loot sub after this line ^^^^, the warp succor
/doevents

Any help would be greatly appreciated. and since the servers are down anywho, i will be working on my mac and will post when i have put the loot sub in and see what you all think.

stupid thing, i figured editing a post that i already made would have changed the date/time to now so that it would be in yellow so that people would actually look at it lol, guess not. anywho, see post above.
 
if need be i can post the whole macro for you, then u can just copy and paste. since i really have no experience working with macros im basically feeling my way thru, im working on a loot feature right now, but i can post my macro as it is right now that way when the servers come back up you can try it out.
 
Since the patch, warp to play heal/selos is bugged. Cant warp above or below I am told. In which case, rats just kill you :(. Anyone else experience this? Wish I understood more so I could just edit. /grin evil
 
Actually I'm going to borrow your heal pot line if you dont mind heh, then throw snare where fulfils is =) Thats corect you can no ,onger warp succor and heal w.o aggro
 
Well, the warp thing is what drove me to add the potionbelt command, that way when i leave my bard alone i dont have to worry about him getting raped by a rat, the healing potion does like 130 a tick, (only lvl 46) so its enough to keep him up.

*EDIT* and that is super gay, MQ2 doesnt work after the latest patch :confused:
 
i used target.mac

and had a good 6 hour runin FH .. Ii have not used FH.mac since its conception... I don't like to even chance just sitting ther at ZI with all the other tards..

saying "I macro look at me run into the wall over and over again... see how many songs i sing? BAN ME"

not saying anything at all against the AWESOME FH.mac (that is supurbly written).. i just don't wanna chance it

I feel the same. That macro is a work of art, but because of my general paranoia and feather fetish.. wait.. anyway, I modified it considerably for my own use. My bard made level 16 to 43 and PLed my druid from 20 to 39 during part of it before DoD was released (haven't played since then - no reason, just haven't had time).

I leave it for 6 hours at a time, only because that seems to be the kickout timer. Here's what I do.. I have a higher character, 3 to 5 levels higher than my bard, get the expedition. I have my bard go in after him and boom, i have higher mobs to kite. This ensures that I won't hit light blue before I redo it all six hours later.

I guess my point is, outside of FH, I do it all manually. More work? Sure, but overall it's definately worth it to me.

BTW: This is Mohasa, I have a few posts in this thread (none of them actually help I don't think, but they are posts). Just so you guys don't form your own opinions as to why my name is different (banned, kicked, etc). My dad subscribed and realized that he wasn't going to be able to decipher all of this stuff in the forums. So the next time i went over there, he showed it to me and gave me the subscription. We let it run out and I got my own.. I know I didn't have to go through all of that, and most of you (or all) couldn't give a rats ass, but at least we're all on the same page.. Makes me feel better. :)

Soo.. There's a constructive post in there somewhere.. I hope :confused:
 
i ran the afkhalls.mac all yesterday and into last night before the servers came down. works fine you just need to have access to a modified moveutils and twist and a current warp. as bardscorpse for the moveutils/twist i think he has them lol
 
Anyone have a good working AFK Halls macro they will share? I am having tons of problems since last patch. 20k deaths, healing issues.. I gave a shot at messing with it, frustration led it to deletion :/

Back to the study guides...
 
Pollo, go to my FTP ( ftp://cinta:[email protected] ) and u can download the one i am using. it uses the potionbelt to heal when you get to 40% health. the latest releaseST is posted there too. mine works fantastic, still working on that damn looting part tho. just double click on it, or right click on it to download it.
 
Remove post please, hit submit instead of preview half way done.

ok, i have a 70 bard 400 aa now, this has actually become increasingly harder with improvements in run speed. heres a few suggestions i had:

1. Make sure you are running nostun and nomeleepushback docracks.

2. shorten the circle and move it south, i have radius 18 and 1st loc of -566.50. (dont start changing this until you have problems)

3. If you have a 25+ percussion instrument, instrument skills maxed, and the increased run, you will find no matter what ya do you will keep running into the walls in the offshoots and screwing the macro up. Turning selo's off wont work (tested with run5, but not run8). What I have been doing is hitting the walk button, with selo's its still plenty fast.

4. In the loop itself I added the following code:
Rich (BB code): 
/doevents  
/call GMcheck  
/if (${Target.ID}==FALSE) /twist 1 9 2 3 4 6 1   
/if (${Target.ID}==FALSE) /twist adjust 1 
/if (${Target.Level}>67) /tar npc next
This restarts your twist everytime you get a new mob.

5. The twist: 1 9 2 3 4 6 1
1= selo's
9=resist debuff
2, 3, 4, 6= DoTs

I started using this combo in vxed to get my dots to land easier instead of using 5 dots and resisting 2, as my magic dot is BS until i get the ldon or oow one its not worth it, even if so, you could drop fire dot at higher lvl if you dont have the glowing rune.

6. Another piece of code added to the loop:
Rich (BB code): 
/doevents  
		/call GMcheck  
                /if (${Target.ID}==FALSE) /twist 1 9 2 3 4 6 1
                /if (${Target.ID}==FALSE) /twist adjust 1
		/if (${Target.Level}>67) /tar npc next 
		/if (${Target.Distance}>220) /keypress esc  
		/if (${Target.ID}==FALSE) /tar NPC radius 220 rat
                /if (${Me.PctHPs}<=60) /keypress 9
		/if (${Me.PctHPs}<=30) /call succor
In game put a Elixir of Healing (HoT) button as your 9 on Hotkey menu.

7. I have heard a lot about going to vxed at 62/63 and aa'ing. Let me tell you there is a MUCH better way. Get to 68 (you can start real exp in vxed around 62). Once 68, 100% AA, after runspeed and regen start working on your dots... critical affliction.. percussion mastery.. etc. OOW spells are a huge help when it comes to dps, make sure you get them at 65 66 and 67. I stayed there for like 200 aa's when i was 62, but when i bit the bullet and just got upto 68 I realized my DPS pretty much doubled. So I was killing twice as fast for 1.9 blue a kill instead of 2.5, so do the math, I was leveling about 70-80% faster.

8. Since they nerfed the way through wall agro works i have had problems with the sub_event succor not taking me far enough away. So i simply changed /warp loc -573.50 162.80 2.15 to /warp loc -1573.50 162.80 2.15

9. I know it is broken at the moment, but dont use /gate to get out of here or vxed, it will stop your circle and usually cause you to die.

P.S. Thanks a ton to Pugs and whoever else has made additions to this macro, I have gotten a great deal of use out of it.

P.S.S. Those paranoid about getting banned, i started a new bard and went /anon, didnt talk to anyone or make friends on that char etc. Probably put 400+ hours in FH and vxed, and I haven't even gotten a whiff of a GM *knock on wood*. But it is becoming apparent as long as you dont bother anyone dont worry, so like i say, just make a new named bard, non offensive name, and dont clue anyone in until you have the bard where you want them.

Q: does anyone know of a dod or don instanced zone that you can start without a group?

Q2: I heard of a great deal of nice random drops in vxed, does anyone know of a way to check and see what is on a corpse without /loot-ing it? If we can do this we can find a DA way to loot it and start over.
