Question - Issues with Kiss

[Warlock88]

Good morning Fellow MQers

I am finding lately that my group can not last more then 1 hour when I try to afk . I am not sure what it is. I used to be able to afk for days on end. Is anyone else having this problem. group consist of 100 sk( cotf raid geared ) 100 necro and 100 bard. with 2 j5 wizzy mercs and 1 cleric. And I am fighting in a zone that has light blues which my sk used to swarm 100++ mobs before they nerfed it. ( trying to make plat for krono's lol don't care much for exp right now)

What I am seeing is all my toons are still in the zone that I set them up in. The main tank is just standing there. The chat I am seeing is the all camp fire based text. Some thing along the lines of I can not find my way home cause the camp fire is not up ( sorry at work right now so not sure of the actual text).

I am not sure what is going on, the only recent changes that I have made to my playing is I started to use EQBC to send commands to my toons so I don't have to tab out to all 3 screens and set them up. As well I started to mark my puller/tank with the Role section.
And I started to use the camp fire.

Any help would be appreciated. Need to get farming plat or I might have to pay for my sub soon haha

Thanks in advance for those that can assist me

What happens is that when they die, they campfire back and the merc doesn't recognize that they need a rez. I THINK the Mac just loops through the campfire stuff saying, you died because there is a corpse nearby, but you are in the same zone as the corpse so I can't campfire back. It does that until you rez or restart the Mac.

I think that some of the more knowledgeable guys on the forum say it is due to the timer between campfire and rez being too short.

what I do when I have this kind of issue is start my group up and sit and watch them do there thing for an hour and let them fail as I watch, then I can address the issue and fix it...

 

[Warlock88]

That's the thing. I should not be dieing to the mobs I am afking to. It is like my merc stops healing me or something... I'll have to watch more I guess. Normally I do sir and make sure that the cap is good. Seems to happen when I leave the computer. It is like kiss knows I'm not there and acts up lol.

 

[eqgeek]

Haha, I feel the same way. What is fine while I'm sitting around chatting goes all wonky when I go to the store.

Maybe marked as puller you are too far away from the healer?

Definitely need more info.

 

[Warlock88]

I will watch more closely now that I am done work. It baffles me to go from days of afk farming to an hour after I leave the computer. I will see maybe it is because I am marking my main tank as puller, main assist and main tank.

Would minimizing the eq windows have anything to do with it? Or should it affect the game play of kiss at all.

If he's marked as puller, his merc won't heal him if he's out of range (and sometimes when he's right next to the merc). I hardly ever use puller tags.

going to try running it with out using the role settings to see if that is the issue. I sure hope it is as simple as that.
