Forgotten Halls Afk Macro Gets New Expedition
- Thread starter Pugs
- Start date
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.
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.
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
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

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

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...

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.

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

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

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

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 :/

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.

Thanks a bunch SS headed there now.
headed there now.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:
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:
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.
