Hi
i just ran your script, it works great.
One question, what LEM do you use for soundproof achievement?
cheers

 

[jmaez]

I just rant it worked great no LEM seems to be needed

Sorry bit late but none, all built into the script.

 

[Grrizz]

of course Ii am having trouble completting this. I am runing dannet and kissassist on all toons. I have wiped on liche 2x and on final boss once. prograam runs seemless thru first 2 moobs. . I have t to keep cleric close enough to heal when llche moves around and do not think toons pay attention to emotes. Is this program not setup for dannet or kiss. Or am I missing something?

 

[Grrizz]

I have tried everything and still nothing. i switched chase off thinking it might be the problem but now I die on spider phase. Group consists of War Clr Brd Mag Wiz and Rogue. With chase off Rogue and bard tend to die. Cleric does not follow group well and last run mage died from engaging queen before tank. So thank You for the program but is not working for me or my group.

 

[pascualito]

I've tested your script works perfectly. Thank you :-)
Although I would like to tell you that an error appears: "Cannot find zfix in the file system" (i have ignored that error)
For some reason when i entered instance chars become shrink, i have to cast iksar illusion with my chanter on all toons. (tested that shrink only happends on my group, not on other friends)
No used levitate, used kissassist from inside mission, then chase ON, and started mission manually talking to NPC.
got al 3 achivements in a row :-)
THANKS!!! god JOB, sorry bad english

zfix is a Lua resource, it attempts to fix the error where you cannot see target although it is right there.

Combat Assist - ZFix - 'You cannot see your target' fixer

A simple moveback with path check to fix the "You cannot see your target" bug.

[Boring]

This /Lua is the BOMB DOT COM ! I ran with Sk, Cleric, Ench, Rogue, Zerk and Beastlord. Got all ach in one run. WOW. Ty Jande !

 

[Almafa]

I got the closest to winning with the Lua.
Could you please look into ROG melee distance? Often the rogue is not in right position on the spider and it can go down hill fast.

Lich fight is also a bit weird. Looks like MA just doesn't follow. Casters seem to run around. Maybe it would be better if they would stay close to the center where they can cast.

Toons sit and stand all the time. It might be because I lost about the 10th time in a row...but maybe its worth looking into this after wipe.

 

[tickiewizzy]

It randomly targets lich's power (blue aura) in lich phase. This had no effect on the aura and wasted dps/mana/time in event that could have been spent on burning the lich itself. I also found that if you don't get the egg sack killed it doesn't do a check to see if you have a spider add and just continues to dps the queen which can overrun you with spiders if it goes to next egg sack phase and you still have a spider up.

This is my experience not everyones as seen by the comments that they were able to complete the mission with their group. I have a fully nos ore raid geared war, partially nos raid geared cleric, and nos best group geared wiz, mage, chanter, and shammy. I think this is a great tool but not right for me at this time.

 

[Almafa]

I got very close to winning yesterday. Shalowain was under 20%, then the AE ate us all.


This event requires all your toons to work together, or be really well geared I guess...I spent a lot of time writing inis, re-wrote burn etc. Maybe I have to look into cleric heals and how to keep the group alive during the final part. They do kite.

Where you guys position Shalowain? I fought her right where she stands, or close to the Blob's location.

There are a few annoying things: Lich, targeting aura. Did you guys figure something out on that? Can we put it on "ignore".
After a failed mission, toons "sit and stand up". I am not sure if MQ gets messed up, or why it happens. This behavior continues after I unload the Lua and pause the macro, or reload. So may not be KA/Lua related.

It is very difficult to switch targets. When I have an add, it is difficult to get the crew off from the mob and get on the new target. I got a hotkey set up for this, takes some spamming.

Pets get lost sometime, or get stuck. It may make sense to use summon companion. I did not do it yet, but I regret it.

If you guys are struggling but you have ideas where to position Shalowain please let me know. I am sure it would help others.

when I do the missions and win with all real people I tank shalowain in the far right back corner. If you jump down from the guy to start the task and your facing the forge look directly right and there is a little alcove. This allows people to run from the auras for soundproof in a square around the forge and never interferes with tank spot. when I do this mission without this Lua I have my group on chase and move every one and boss in a square around the forge to stay out of the auras. hope this helps.

 

[Ike]

Thank you for creating an easy to install Lua for this mission. I tried it a few times and I think I'm doing something wrong. Can you tell me how I can follow this part of the instructions using CWTN plugins, "In combat assist make sure no camp is set"? Or is that part of the instruction only for Kissassist users? I believe I am following the instructions correctly for everything else.

I fight Shalowain where she stands. With that said, the key for me in going from - I gotta solo her with my SK cause everyone else is dead to AE to Now we win every time - was making sure the group had lev, and using a Barb (I'm sure any big race would work) illusion campfire. It's so easy for the 'targeted' toons to get stuck on the canals when trying to run from the notes. Make sure you have useshrink off, pop a barb campfire and toss a lev on and see if you don't get a win.

 

[nuggy]

i dont like how it changes yoour burn settings then dosnt change them back

 

[Veer of Xantera]

I have tried MANY times but goo eats me every time due to everyone standing in it lol. stupid healer is like IMMA TANK MOM LOOK AT ME. what stance do ya recommend? Group is Chanter rogue shaman ranger sk necro

I had plenty of challenges with this mission, and I could never beat it yet. I got through the goo okay though.

Regarding goo:
I send one of my toons to start the event and I leave (SK) MA in tank mode at goo, with his back towards the spider spawn. All other toons are on the other end of the goo. When goo spawns, it is inactive, I hit it with a few aggro spells (Petition for power, Terror of Tarantis), when it activates, it sticks on me. These spells seem to land even if the goo is inactive, and build up aggro even before he activates. I noticed the toons being inside the goo, but mostly behind, and they did not cause any difficulties. Maybe, getting aggro before the whole event starts helped me through this, I dunno.

Try, and see if it works!

I also set up some "low end" burn for the goo. DPS-ing it down before he would spawn an add, or do EA seems to work well.

Good luck!

 

[Darkwynd3]

I've been using this quite regularly, and successfully on my melee group, but I recently started trying to use it on a caster group and ran into some issues. The casters spam toggle between Lich and his Aura. I edited the string out that causes the casters to not run around as much. They now don't lock onto the aura, but they obviously spend more time running chasing Lich. Anyone else run into this and have a more elegant fix?

 

[Almafa]

I am wondering if anyone has advice for me.
I leveled up a zerker, I maxed offensive skills and went on the mission. I was hoping that with the added dps I would have enough juice to finish.
I also re-wrote heals, and I would keep heal over time on the group at all times, so I was hoping with this heal I should go through the final boss successfully. It works great in group setting.

well, the mission turned out to be a total disaster. I had a dozen fails in a row.

I went through okay the blob. actually, the dps gain showed very useful, no adds, and he died before the ae.

spider was a bit of a challenge, happened to get an add here and there. I managed.

lich - I got add here too...this is a nightmare. I will work on some of my burn inis. It seemed, some burns did not get activated. I have burn turned off, and in theory, only with my burn button can it be activated. I am wondering if the Lua manipulates burn ini. I could use some help here. How do you guys manage burn? I remember when I tried the mission the very first time, I did a lot better with burn...how...I can't duplicate.

When final boss activates, all my toons were running around like crazy, except for the MA. None of them were casting, or even sending pet. MA tanked the boss, and eventually died.
Do all toons need to run around and kite? Did I do anything wrong? I tried to manually cast on the cleric, but before casting was over the toon would move, so he did not cast at all for sure. There is also a discrepancy with MQ2Heals (I think). I noticed it tried to cast spells over and over (ecliptic I think) unsuccessfully. When I turned the Lua off to heal manually, the aura blew me up and it was game over.

It also seems that after a fail, KA gets messed up. I had some error come up and only way to fix if I logged to desktop, and logged back on. The sit and stand issue no longer is there. Thank you for fixing it. However, ordering mage to hand out pet weapons doesn't work - I am not sure if it is Lua related.

One small thing: I cannot bag modulation shart. as soon as it is on the cursor, it gets dropped immediately. Not a huge deal, but may be related to why mage cannot hand out weapons/goodies to group pets.

I am going to get this darn mission, but now it starts to piss me off :P. All help is appreciated.

 

[Almafa]

Here are one of the errors:


there was another one regarding CWTN command that did not execute with Kissassist. I am not sure if I should post these. If you work on improving the Lua, it would help. I hope I am not frustrating anyone with the posts.

thanks for the help. I was able to beat the mission.
me, idiot, turned off mq2cast and some other plugins. turning back on made a huge difference.

so far 100 fails, 1 win, but who cares! HAH

I just tried to give this another chance. I can beat the mission without the Lua with my group but its hectic to do all the mechanics on my own, so i know that its not a dps issue as I can do it. its still targeting the lichs power I went from no mummies on my own to 3 mummy adds that ultimately killed me in the final phase. It also doesn't check for adds which I always get on the spider with this. I did finally get to the soundproof stage trying to use the Lua the whole time and it does work great for that. I did notice on the egg stage that if you manually pull spider to a room and stand in it and the egg pops in the room your in it makes your toons go back to the outside the room position instead of making them hit the egg.

It is awesome if you can beat the mission without outside help. Good job!

Duting those 100 fails, I played around with the spider part quite a bit, and it is true, if you have an add, you have a hard time switching to it with the Lua running. For awhile, I just run my tank manually, but with that, I had other challenges. I maed a /Lua pause button, but to be honest, when it came to using it, I always failed.

What works really well is switching to the mage when eggs pop (they run to eggs fairly quickly), summon pet, use pet button to attack, and cast "ecliptic companion", or use burnout (I saved burnout to the last egg). With that, eggs die fast. You can have other weak pets on the egg, they don't seem to make any difference. However, summon/ecliptic worked all the time. I also use shrink on pet, so it can go accross the web faster. I have seen other pets standing there trying to cross for what seemed a long , long time...
Sometime, when spider is upstairs, my toons get teleported downstairs. Now, that's when I used burnout (aa). I think it is instand, and during runaround (up and down) it landed and pets ate the eggs. I wasn't able to cast ecliptic during runaround time.

I have also noticed, that sometime when the eggs happen to spawn in the same room, or building we are in, we get teleported out. I thought it was by design part of the mission, so you are forced to use pets. It is fairly convenient to run to eggs and beat the crap out of them...

 

[Player2bnamedl8r]

I was able to get the Soundproof achievement with this script. I've tried others and I've always had issues. I'm sure most of it is user error on my part. I found this one pretty straight forward. Huge Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[vanemon]

how to get dps up? group consists of sk, cle, dru, enc, bst and rog. all toons 125 maxxed aa and group geared from final fugue. hdex augs for melee, but which ones for the rest? (or all to go hdex-wise?). using barb-fellowship fire and have guild and personal-tribute enabled. if i use burn i usually get without probs to lich and 20 to 30%, then an add and that's it. or if i don't use burn, i already get an add at the blob....

If you are short on DPS for the slime and want to keep your burns for Lich, try using "Intensity of the Resolute" Special Tab AA on the slime to boost your DPS there. Its a 4 hour refresh on the AA so it matches up nicely with the 6 hour lock out of the mission.

My Dannet hotkey version on my driver looks like this


/dgga /alt act 487

I had to play around with this. Originally I had SHD, ENC, ROG, SHM, CLR, MAG. I was hurting for DPS so I retired SHM and rolled up a BER. When I tried with basic BER I failed, so I maxed BER aa, and that helped a lot.

With SHD, ENC, ROG, BER, MAG, CLR I have ENC initiate the event. He loses a few seconds of the fight, and we lose some DPS, but still the least loss from the team.

I use spires on blob. Blob starts to glow at under 5% and it dies before the AE. I guess, you have to time your burns to make sure you don't get the add, and use other burns as needed, but use as little burn as you can, save what you can for Lich!

Spider: you really don't need DPS here, just need the MAG pet to eat eggs, for that, burnout or ecliptic spell is needed, and ensure pet doesn't get stuck, so summon pet is a must.

Lich: it is a bitch, you have to make sure you saved all your burns for this guy, otherwise you will hurt with mummy add. I tanked Shalowain with 1-2 mummy adds, but at the end, it always turned out to be a wipe.

Shalowain: isn't that bad once slowed. Best to save Deflection or shield flash though before gets slowed, and make sure you are on top of him when he activates. I had my SK tank him solo for a few minutes, when the entire team was dead. I returned CLR and ROG to bind, and used insignia to come back to camp and I ended up winning. If no adds, and slowed, you will be okay even with a few deaths in the team. Makes sense to save all your defensive skills for this fight.

So the event is: 1, burn the blob, but save as much burn as possible, full burn on lich before adds, manage spider eggs with pet, survive Shalowain AE, make sure defensives are still available for this fight. So, I guess, that's what I learned from all the wipes and the win :P. My toons are relatively okay geared, all TS/LS, some chase items, weapons, but no familiars,, heroic aa or anything. I haven't completed an expansion/quests/ missions since TDS, which makes me pay in events like this....

I had several fails on Lich, Shalowain, because I blew all my defensive or offensive spells/ skills before I got to these guys. So the event is won if your team has the DPS needed, and you can time the use of DPS/ defensives as I described above.

Good luck! If I could do it with my very average crew, anyone can. I hope with sharing my experience I save you some pain.

 

[Player2bnamedl8r]

I've managed to beat it three times with SK, SHM, NEC, NEC, BST, ROG and get all achievements. My group waste the blob before it even has a chance to glow. The spider isn't an issue with such a pet heavy group. I just made a hotkey to spam (even though the script does a good job) to help ensure they are getting on the egg sack as quickly as possible. The lich is where I find the most challenge, but just as long as I keep it to one mummy it is no big deal. I'm usually flipping between a SK (spamming come to me) and a necro to ensure I'm getting some dots on it. I then glyph on the SK, just before the lich is about to die. I then let the script take over and pick one of the necro that doesn't get placed on pause and roast Shalowain down with any AA's still remaining. I'm sure there are more efficient ways of doing it, but this is working for me. I'm new to luas and all this is a work in progress for me!

Thank you again for the script!

which hotkey you have to spam for the pet's? getting blob killed without add now (though it starts to glow at maybe 10-12 percent). but pet's don't want to go to the eggs (though shrinked - enc/sk/bst with mage set)

I’d assume /dgga /pet attack egg and probably a swarm key or line as well.

You do have to start the mission manually - are you triggering it or are you expecting the script to run to Elmara and say defy her, because it doesn't? That error just means you don't have the zfix Lua installed, and the script will and does run fine without it.

[Kilas_Army]

This is a great script. Easy to use and I mostly blaze through the mission getting the three cheese each time.
However, i was curious as to why my main (only) healer, (CWTN Shaman in Assist mode) insists upon running back to wherever I started the mission from during the Spider phase.
It would be nice to have them with the rest of the group for when the eggs die and the spider reactivates. I run an SK as main so, no worries there but, I have had instances where my BST will get plastered before the Shammy "catches up". This kills DPS on the next Egg Sac and causes us to have to deal with an add until I get the BST and their pet back up and running.
Again, great script and I can't thank you enough for it as I hate these types of Missions where you gotta run all over like an idiot chasing teleporting mobs.
