Hey all,

Just wanted to say mq2grind has been absolutely amazing. Huge thanks to everyone who works on it. I’m also running all the CWTN plugins and the setup has been fantastic for boxing.

I had a question I was hoping to get some guidance on. Apologies if this is the wrong place to post, it’s been a while since I’ve been active on the forums.

I’m currently grinding the Spite mission and running into some pulling issues. My SK is set as the puller, but occasionally other toons will drift a bit, grab aggro early, and end up pulling mobs before the SK gets to them. That usually results in a death or two.

My team is:
BRD / MAG / BST / SK / ROG / SHM

I’ve already turned off Selos on the bard, but I’m curious what specific tweaks people would recommend in this situation. For example:

Should all run speed and movement buffs be disabled on non pullers?

Are there particular mq2grind follow, chase, or nav settings you adjust for tighter stacking?

Anything specific to Spite pulls that helps prevent non pullers from getting ahead of the SK?

Any tips or example settings would be super helpful. Overall, mq2grind has been rock solid and I can’t say enough good things about it.

I’ve had to turn all run speed buffs off and remove lev. You could also make sure AEs are off since the aggro range in Spite is wonky.
 
thanks, thought that might be the case! will give it a shot and report back :)

Not yet. I've been busy with health issues and most recently AutoSize. I'm ready to get into some more Grind instances. Which did you have in mind for me to look into?

Went searching back for this (dunno why) But, uh. Thoughts on adding Morells castle's- Gouzah Safari ? it is an instance that actually respawns so long as you dont actually do the task. But, it still spawns i believe a full zone that you could navigate thru

I don't see any notes about that mission, so I'll need to evaluate it. Thanks for raising it.
 
I am having an issue with my grind continuing. I constantly get a message: Automatically pausing plugin due to group member disappearance. But all my group members are in the zone. This has happened a ton with either the MQ2Grind Goblins and Fools and also with GMM The Darkness Howls. Is there a setting I can change to help with this? I have set DelayTaskGet to 30 seconds and it still happens. Do I need to up this?

Help!

It shows that you are on the latest build, no update needed.

I'll do some review locally, in the meantime:

Are you bound in the zone where the instance is obtained?
Are you running any mercs in your group?
Are toons ending up in pick zones?

All toons are bound in the Guild Lobby.
No Mercs in the group.
I am the only group in the zone every time I have checked, so unlikely there are any pick zones.

Live or Test?

I have flipped the instance 17 times on Live this morning, I'm unable to recreate the problem.

Are you by chance running Windows 10 or 11 HOME version?

Oddly, this did happen to me, each member of the group exiting the instance and fell out of group; magically.... I don't understand how this happened, but it did.

The error message and instructions from the plugin are applicable in this case - EQ is definitely broken here in my opinion. (EQ thinks I'm in a group, but I'm not ... definitely odd behavior)

I’ve had that happen once in a blue moon (like 2x a year) but usually only to one or two toons and a relog fixes it.

By chance are you also runing Windows ## Home?
 
@foolysh @Jalerian @Mugly I need to know from each of you which error you are facing:

Is it: Automatically pausing plugin due to group member disappearance. (gate/port/ld/mid-zone)

Or is it: Automatically pausing plugin due to group member disappearance. (catch all)

I need an accurate answer here, please!
 
I am running windows 11 home not getting an error it's just pausing if I spam /grind resume it eventually gets going but sometimes when it goes to flip the instance it pauses again.

gonna try it on my laptop and see if it does the same thing

It thinks you died so it paused. Make sure you don't have a corpse that maybe didn't get looted after a battle rez. I've stared at my monitor a few times wondering what the hell was going on and finally noticed I had a corpse waiting for me.
 
tryed it on the laptop which is also running windows 11 home and it does the same thing :confused: its only in lauron's inn all others work flawlessly
 
Hey all :) As of the latest patch, grind seems to be off a bit. I start the grind as per usual and it will only auto zone my SK into the zone.

Last night, I manually zoned everyone in and the SK stopped pulling on step 5 of however many steps. I also /grind stop and it only dropped the task on my SK driver.... weird! This was for Labyrinth of Spite which has previously worked flawlessly (and thank you for that!!).

Just wondering if there is any insight or anyone else experiencing this? I have double checked and all appears the same on my end of things in the grind options.

Thanks :)

This sounds like a failure to communicate (insert GNR stuff here).

The driver is likely trying to communicate the things to the other group members, but is unable to do so for some reason. This is likely going to be an issue with whatever communication is being used to issue commands to others I would think.

I think you are right and now I'm gonna do some research to see how to reinstate commands. I noticed last night that all my commands to all my accounts including the /dga /dge /makemevisible, pause, unpause commands are also not working from the driver - they will issue to the driver only and not any other toons logged in. Thanks for your help! :) I'm not at all programmer savvy hahah so will check to see how others have resolved it. :)

thanks for your help! I tried grind again in Candlework to ensure it was working fine and it seems to be now! It was a dannet issue where I used your post there to change interface from ethernet to loopback on all toons and then unloaded/reloaded on each toon. All commands are now issuing correctly from the driver. I really appreciate your help on this!! Thank you!

I dont think this is a grind issue but because I'm using Grind, I'm noting it. Bards and rogues using CWTN just crash out during zoning in and out and will be at server select screen which causes the Grind to stop. If I just re-load the rogue or bard the driver will not function, and will hang on Pre-Check. I have only been able to fully resolve the issue by camping/quitting all 6 toons and relaunching them.

Happened to my shaman at least once, but has not happened since the first crash. Otherwise only rogues and bards.

Happens in Shei, Fungal Fugue, Candlework. Multiple PC's. I'm not using the new engine option.

that's pretty sus

do you have any crash IDs?
 
Hi all,

With the news of MQ Live coming to an end, I have disabled the sale of my plugin.

This means that no new sales are permitted; those with a license will still be able to download updates as they become available.

Thank you, everyone, for your support, generosity, and passion for MQ2Grind!

I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
