i have done my best over the last week to read the tutorials and forum posts to try and find a fix. however, there have been so many changes, there is a new launcher a new way to format ini's? and it seems kiss is only working on a couple of classes? my monk zerk and war will do stuff but my mage and bard just stand there, are some classes broken atm? i am useing ini's from the libary here i have gone through and made sure the spells are of the correct teir and removed or replaced clickies i don't have. short of learning to write an ini from scratch i dont see what else to do? if anyone could help i would really appreciate it im decently smart but my subjects are biology and medicine not coding and its really frustrating. thank you in advance to anyone being helpful.
P.S. i assume if someone takes the time to help they will need me to find a log or something but i don't know where to find such things.

If you post the classes ini's that are not working that would help greatly than we can help a lot more. We may be able to see things that are going on with those ini's. Also, Welcome Back!

It might be less of a headache to use some ini's from the library for your level as they should be working, and then just "tweak" if you need to.

As far as I know, no classes are "broken" as such. Certainly, my bard and my mage are not broken (or at least, not noticeably so).

Welcome back! I know it can be very overwhelming at first, but it will start to click. I took about the same amount of time of a break that you did, and came back. It was a punch in the face for sure! It took a little bit of watching the tutorials to get things figured out. I also joined the discord channel https://www.redguides.com/community/ewr-discord/ which helped me with some smaller questions overall. This is a great community and we will all try to help with/where we can. As I am still a novice myself, I would also suggest the same thing as Shadow did, which is copy/paste your ini's so we can take a look and see what's going on.

Posting your inI is quickest way. Some common things that would stop a dps toon: Double check the main sections are on like DPSOn=1 or =2 and that each DPS line entry also has a mob health percentage. DPS1=Fireball|99 Also make sure you have a health engage percent set in Melee section, even for casters.

Also the range of the mob to attack, in the [Melee] section if the mob is out of the range of what the setting is they will not engage
I don't use my mage for melee so the mage setting is off, but if mob is Outside the range of 60 he doesn't engage spells either:
[CODE lang="ini" title="Mage INI"][Melee]
AssistAt=98
MeleeOn=0
FaceMobOn=0
MeleeDistance=60
StickHow=snaproll
AutoFireOn=0
UseMQ2Melee=1
TargetSwitchingOn=0
[/CODE]

Just to be safe you may want to rename those ini files so that the character names aren't obvious. This is level 2 but some security is not out of line

 

[eqtrader74]

Oh these are your toon ini's for MQ2, not the ini files for KA. Those control plugin settings and such, but not macros like KissAssist.

Try your /Macros folder instead of the Release one. The ini's will be KissAssist_name.ini or maybe KissAssist_server_name.ini but not server_name.ini type. Copy your stuff over and you should be good next time you restart KA.

The taunt or attacks that are happening now could be the mq2melee plugin. Try "/melee" to see each toons settings. You can change them and then "/melee save" or "/melee off" to shut it down.

ahhh i see
ok goin to edit those ini's and try again thanks eqtrader74

guess my next question would be i have my monk main at 110 and my mage and zerk at 110 but the other 2 are 100 and 105 would it be faster to just kill in the highest lvl place i can go or to go somewhere appropriate for the lower lvl toons to catch them up? also it it worth lvling a clr or will my healer merc still work just fine?

 

[eqtrader74]

You may need to test the xp gain. I try to go somewhere that the high level is conning light blue or even green to the mobs, but the PL'd toons are getting dark blue cons or higher. I also think the higher xpacs just give more exp per kill too. If you can kill in EoK, that's probably better than Darkened Sea per mob even though both are like 101-105 content.

Healer merc is OK, its actually one of the more useful mercs at max level. But if your computer can handle it I'd PL a real healer toon. KA/macro'd healer is much. much better and you can customize it to your group. Like heal the MA at higher health for safety, heal the DPS only if they get to half health or use clicky heals and such.

Head on down to Frontier Mountains and go kill Drogans in the south area, respawn is quick and they are spread out nicely for single pulls. Excellent spot to lvl those two toons and get aa for the others!

***Try not to afk here for very long, and have a dedicated window for say. In options-filters have say echo and say two different colors so the Drogans say is in one color and Player Char say is in another and pull your window up big. I have had an in person encounter/conversation with Swarmofbees here as well as the honorable GM Woebot while enjoying the benefits of this great add-on, with no repercussions.
