It’s the strangest thing it works absolutely fine on cleric but the melee will not duck no matter what i do and MQ2Melee is set to 0 in KA. And I’ve added target /clear and the DUCK command works typing it. I press manual duck when I can see auto attack is of and it stands me up.
post your events file here, i guarantee there is someone will notice whats wrong. these guys/gals are superbly helpful
Actually maybe thats not it the plugin isn’t loaded /meleeon does that change MQ2melee or KA settings? Using /meleeon during the event manually to set it off meant that the duck worked but then they won’t attack the mobs. do I need /meleeon toggles in my Events file?
INI:
[kneel]
trigger=#1#The ice encrusted Avatar of War shouts that |${Me}| must bend the knee!#2#
command=/if (!${Me.Ducking}) /multiline ; /mqp on ; /attack off ; /target clear ; /keypress DUCK
[stand]
trigger=#1#The Avatar of War nods, accepting the subservience of those that gave it#2#
command=/if (${Me.Ducking}) /multiline ; /mqp off ; /keypress DUCK ; /attack on
[avatarp2]
trigger=#1#The Avatar of War changes the rules and chooses a new field of battle!#2#
command=/multiline ; /target npc Icebound Avatar of War ; /attack on ; /nav spawn Icebound Avatar of WarSo that's what is weird. mq2melee is not loaded on these chars from a plugin perspective. I even just double checked after starting KA. But using /meleeon (to shut melee off during the event manually) seems to make the event work. Of course then my issue is I'm constantly restarting ber.

did you try /mqp on; /target clear
Yep that's in the above events file:
[kneel]
trigger=#1#The ice encrusted Avatar of War shouts that |${Me}| must bend the knee!#2#
command=/if (!${Me.Ducking}) /multiline ; /mqp on ; /attack off ; /target clear ; /keypress DUCK
yep exactly what mine is on all the KA toons
command=/if (!${Me.Ducking}) /multiline ; /mqp on; /twist off; /attack off; /target clear; /keypress DUCK
and i have been doing KD almost every day. now i do have to /event load soon as i zone in as sometimes it doesnt seem to load
command=/if (!${Me.Ducking}) /multiline ; /mqp on; /twist off; /attack off; /target clear; /keypress DUCK
and i have been doing KD almost every day. now i do have to /event load soon as i zone in as sometimes it doesnt seem to load

Does the character react at all to the emote? Or does it react appropriately and just not stay ducked after initially doing what it's supposed to?
I neeed to watch closer because I’m not sure about the duck. It definitely shuts of melee and twist. But the duck is not happening and since I manually duck something is making it stand. I’m going to try again and throw in melee on/off toggle into the events to see if that works since when I do it manually it definitely ducks. Some /meleeon is impacting it even though KA is not setup to use EQ2Melee and the plugin itself is not loaded (i’ve checked multiple times). It’s very odd but hoping I can bypass the issue with the toggles In events.

Practice sending yourself the emote in a chat channel while outside of the event and seeing how your character reacts.
I’ll do that but it’s all tied to /meleeon where any issue is coming up. When I shut it off (ber won’t fight as directed then) it works just fine to duck. So emote is defintiely good. the issue seems to be why That command is fixing it. Plugin for eq2melee isnt’ loaded and use EQ2Melee is set to 0 in the KA
So extensive testing tonight it seems it's tied to something with KA which is best I can figure out. So the events work but it forces me to autostand. Macro is paused, mq2melee is not even loaded.
What's super interesting is I found as soon as I move even slightly to the left or right I can suddenly duck. And the event works or I can manually duck.
So am I missing some setting in KA or is this a bug in the 12 version? Blank macro file below is what I used for testing and I included my events file (works great for everything but the DUCK).

You are ducked it's an animation bug cause you where in the middle of another animation when trying to go into another animation. Can test by casting a spell wait for it to cast then duck and you will still look standing but move a bit and you will duck
Except that’s not accurate. It will let me use bloodlust aura. What’s going on i s it is still sticking to the mob. I just can’t figure out why if EQmelee is unloaded.
So definitely aware of the bug. And I agree it's KA. but I can't for life of me figure out why. I event started a blank KA file on the char and the behavior is happening. From what I can tell something is forcing it to "stick" to the mob even after the MQP ON. Part of me wonders if this is a bug in KA12. Less people using KA these days and even less doing this mission (leveling a lot of alts). I'm sure thats not it but for life of me even in my blank file below (fresh KA ini from scratch) I can't figrue out whats doing it. It's definitely being forced to stick to mob after pause though.

Are your melee characters following the mob or are they following your MA? Even with KissAssist paused your characters will attempt to follow your MA if at some point previously you did an /afollow or even a regular EQ /follow command. I use a custom "Chase OFF" button when I engage AoW so that all these "auto" movement activities get disabled!
But even with that, my bard fails at least once per fight and gets DT'd. My casters never fail however. And since my only melee character is the bard I just combat rez him and continue fighting. Bards are just magic that way.

Nope I typically have it turned off except when moving. The heroes seem to be sticking to the mob even though target clear/mqp is on. So I dug into the Utilieis macro you highlighted and under the Stick section there is a breakontarget setting that is set to off. Now I believe in reading it since you called it out that KA used MQ2Moveutility. apparently the default setting for this is off because it usually means the chars re switching targets. I’m turned it on and just need to do some testing later to see if it’s stop the sticking.
I’m not hopeful though because I feel like others should have run into this issue since it’s a default plugging.
[/QUOTE]
Sticking to the mob is the issue - no follow/afollow. If i turn left or right on the char the stick breaks and I can duck. My best guess at the moment is it’s the mq2moveutility plugin.
So MQ2Utility did not fix it but the /stick off addition to the event did. So Here’s the question if mq2melee is not loaded. I have macro on pause. What the hell could cause me to stick to the mob lol?
Either way sincerely thank you. I just kept powering through mission but I level a lot of alts so I’m doing it a lot. It was a truly obnoxious glitch.
So that’s interesting I don’t think I understood the way KA works then on the Melee section. I thought melee section for the Stickhow (like Snaproll or behind 50% etc..) was a standard for melee. I would of thought I’d see more scripts on here to stick off. Unless everybody is literally playing casters.
I had some problems with /keypress DUCK not doing anything. Had to unload eqwire and have windows not be hidden behind others then next time forgot to unload eqwire and no problems. It drives me nuts trying to figure out why characters autostand. Still have not figured it out completely.
Personally use /keypress x
So on my end seemed to be KA forcing stick. I added a stick off command to events and it works now. I haven't run the event since VV is down on test but as soon as it is back up I'll run it again since I've got a shaman needs all 4 tov missions to hit 115.
Ill have to go back and try that !

Thanks for this! I bet this is why my bard fails sometimes. I've added the /stick off command too based on your info! I'll come back and hit you up with a RedCent when the server resets my supply!
Happy to help. This drove me nuts no had a lot of people weigh in on issue while I tracked it down. I haven’t run avatar yet (will later tonight) but the /stick off did work when testing via say. Hope it works for you As well.
As an FYI if it doesn’t work using /say and testing let me track it down easier. What it noticed was I was sticking to mob even though mqp was on pause and attacking had stop. Found it weird since MQ2Melee was off but I guess KA was forcing it.
You guys rock! Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Was able to set up MQ2Events easy. Note, I included tank by mistake that switched him to assist mode every time anyone was triggered. Had a hot key to put me back in manual. The big note on this is to have a good switch target plan to knock out the adds and don't use dots. Team make up, WAR, SHM, CLR, BRD, WIZ, RNG. War is CoV T3, and everyone else is CoV T2.

I think it's infinitely easier to only allow the tank to attack AoW during phase 1 and let the dps fight adds only as they come. Even in groups of 6 live players, I frequently told people, "just don't attack AoW at all." A tank can whittle his HP down easy enough. He has very few HP. And you completely save yourself the headache of getting everyone to switch at the right time and not leave dots/swarms/stray dmg on AoW.

Just finished this mission.. OMG was this ever the most frustrating mission EVER!!!
Read over these posts countless times, Trying to figure out what i was doing wrong.. finally I got it!!
I NEVER WANT TO DO THIS MISSION AGAIN!!!
There is a lot of good info about this mission.. just a matter of putting it all to use
Group was War,Clr,Shm CWTN Plugins, Mag,Nec,Brd Kiss.. had to put shm on heal stance ( cut down on the dot's and backup heals ), and completely pause the nec until phase 2. would just tab over to the nec and manually cast a few dots on the adds throughout the fight..
Thanks everyone here that shared tips and strats.. saved me a few gray hairs from this mission lol

the biggest thing is that It’s a control mission. You want to kill the avatar slowly unless your in top end raid gear. If you are you can burn through the mission (Which I’ve done) but it usually means I might have a bad round and die when tank 5-6 mobs. the other thing is I find it makes second phase harder because I used by biggest burn on phase 1.
I haven’t messed it it much since I can handle 2 adds no issue with avatar - but for the grouper the easiest thing would be some way to manually tell your group to attack which mobs via hotkeys. I assume it’s possible with the back off and various commands but that pretty much how you want to play it. pre VV I use to do this mission regular with my group gear team of sk, ench, cleric, 3 mage. it was easy because the casters were easy to control when to attack or not.
I will say though take a break before doing Ary because i feel like that one is a lot more “fun’ then icebound. Congrats on the win and you’ll also be doing it again if you level up new alts - I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve done this mission thanks to my problem with building new alts.
Are you referring to Events? Make sure you have /log on and /mlog on, as well as the MQLog plugin enabled. Turn on MQEvents, create an .ini for each character. I can’t post my events ini from work but someone will or I can later today. You can test it in /say before you go into the mission.
what is not working?
