Question Possible Bug: Champion's Aura

I noticed since patch that Champion's Aura does not activate. Uponj looking in my combat ability, Champion's aura or Myridon's Aura does not show up. Using /war mssing displays both aura missing. However right clicking the combat ability button does tune show both auras. Any ideas?

Bug - - October 2022 EQ Bug - missing discs

I'm making this post because it has come up a couple times already and I need something to be able to link with screenshots and such - Plus it hopefully will save folks some time trying to find the info. Panda brought this up to me when the test build happened, and we spent a little bit testing...

I'll take a look, nothing should have changed there. In the meantime just use the slash command
 
Update: the mobs im trying to ignore are the 2 instance mobs in Ka. the named and the dude that sends u out if this information should help. at 1 point i had them on ignore to farm collectacetables , not sure how it got deleted this time but thx six: and happy holidyas to you and all of you there at RG
 
This isn't a massive issue but using my WAR as a puller tank I'm noticing he will fire an arrow at a mob, then start back to camp, then stop and turn and run back into melee range of the mob then drag it back to camp. This is the output: 1672340013760.png

This seems to be a recent development as I've never seen this in the past

unfortunately ranged item pulling has always been like this - it is due to the delay in projectiles, the time that mobs take to populate on xtarget - and messages that you recieve

I'd camp the Lady's Entreaty or whatever the 200m clickie is. There's also the Staff of Viral Flux which is unmatched for pulling.
 
This may be new or me not paying attention.
When in Hunter Tank mode something is forcing the Puller group role.
I have not tested this MOLO but it would be fatal.
I only noticed it when the merc got "lost" following the other toon as they tend to do.

Look at that cwtn common patch notes from the 27th. slight change to group assigned roles can now be set.

check update notes.

if you need to temporarily disable group roles being set you can now do that
 
Thanks for the fast replies.
Cool feature but I would not put Puller in the Hunter Tank mode and only set roles when a mode is entered.

no, sorry. we continually check things like modes and that we have everything we need to function as expected. there are lots of things that prohibit stuff from happening at a moments notice, so we're going to check again.

the plugins aren't designed for merc usage, they're designed for automating toons in a multiboxing setting - these changes were literally made for people who are using mercs - so if you're in a tank mode, and leader - you're going to make yourself group main tank (always been this way) and group main assist (always been this way) - before if you were pullerassist you would set yourself as puller if you are leader and able to do so.

I tend to agree about huntertank not including puller role - since the point is everyone to come with you - pretty stupid how in-game mercs work 0/10 recommend. that may get removed from huntertank (not pullertank).

in the mean time you can use the command to temporarily disable the role setting if that is what you need/want to do.

thanks for your input about huntertank, it is a good point.

edit: yea, gonna rebuild now with removing group role "puller" from huntertank mode
 
Is there some trick to renewing this CWTN Plugin? I just hit the purchase button and it gives me some error message about already owning it or buying it for a friend! What am I missing this time?
 
Loaded back up tonight after patch and get this error for war and necro, both of which I no longer use. Any help on how to avoid seeing this at every toon loaded in would be most excellent. Thank you.1676517340635.png

you need to either

a: delete your old mq2war file
b: change your macroquest.ini to mq2war=0 instead of mq2war=1 under [Plugins]
c: renew mq2war and download a new file
 
I want to thank you guys for still doing the lord's work. I have played EQ off an on since original release. My last stoppage was around level 85 and a buddy got me back into the game so I just upgraded to lvl 100 heroic, swapped out all my augs and just started grinding. At some point doing my research on what had changed in my absence, I came across redguides. I just clicked the download launcher on the right as indicated and bought the cwtn mq2war and mq2sham for my toons about a week ago. I was immediately blown away by how well they performed since I always found it tiresome to click everything I could possibly doing as a warrior to contribute while still enjoying the game. Boxing, it was out of the question.

Having said all that, the most recent patch was my first taste of updating everything and it seems to again be performing as intended. I've been reading over the forums at work tonight and came across the Macroquest Next thing that started being mentioned a few years ago. I just installed the very vanilla plugin that came with the package because it serves my needs alongside the cwtn plugins. After what I have read, it seems like MQ Next was intended to replace very vanilla so I just wanted make sure it is all semantics at this point and I am running what amounts to the latest version since all my files are current and green since I just downloaded whatever was recommended by the interface about a week ago.

Thanks again for all you have done here for us EQ lifers. We all went through the same learning process so it doesn't feel like cheating, just a little automation to combat the dwindling player base and lame pickup groups.

Red guides is this site
Very vanilla is the flavor of macroquest we have - no active hacks

Macroquest2 was updated and put back to the name of MacroQuest

So you are good
 
I'm new to MQ2War and not that knowledgeable about CWTN plugins in general so I hope this isn't a stupid question. I've noticed my warrior is using Throat Jab all the time, is their a way to shut this off? I don't need him to slow the casting of all these warrior mobs and I'm having endurance issues on him so I would like to cut down on the abilities hes using.

there is not a way to turn that off. unfortunately, there isn't a "this spawn is a caster" and just using the target class isn't always the best case.

it should be like 250 endurance

what level are you? are you missing abilities, are you using group members to support you?

importantly curious of the level thing, because if you're "modern level" then you should be able to be using your endregen stuff and stay pretty fine in endurance - before "modern" stuff it can be a struggle

definitely make sure to check out the sticky which has a link/read about how to ask for help (mainly about providing information to help you).

Please see >>> Getting Started with CWTN plugins! (Movement, UI Window, Clickies, Pulling, ETC) Check Here First! <<<
 
I'm definitely not "modern" level. I play on the Rizlona server so I'm at the current max level of 80. I have all the endurance regen abilities and AA's but he still struggles with endurance. I even have a bst in that group but Paragon doesn't give endurance at this level. Sounds like I'll just have to tough it out for a few more expansions, or make a 2nd SK to tank for that group lol

thanks for the update. makes sense - in *this* context "modern levels" is 86 when you get respite.

We have some things that under "modern level" we are less aggressive with due to the challenges that warriors have with endurance (roar/provoke)

I can also gate throat jab behind that, which should help out a bit.

Please let me know any other challenges and if it is something that a work around might exist i'm happy to see what we can do
 
Thanks for the info. 86 isn't that far away and a lack of endurance isn't a new thing. MQ2War is a big improvement over mq2melee in the aggro department so I can't really complain.
 
Hey Sic and Chat

Would it be possible to have a check on Def Disc Stand and Dragon Glyph at all, pretty please? So that if useglyph is turned on, it doesn't fire it when Stand is already running, cause that's a bit of a waste 😘

there was a reason why i specifically did not do that before, I'll take another look since i didn't make myself a note about it - as usual, no promises
 
I didn't see an answer to this in f.a.q. or commands or instructions.
Suppose 3 mobs come into camp over a small period of time camp and the CC is dead, or doesn't exist.
Does the warrior actively seek to get agro on all mobs in camp (travelling across camp if needed), or if one mob is beating on a healer outside of the warrior's aoe agro range will the healer be left to take the beating until that mob is next in the warrior's kill order?

no, we don't swap targets around - but you're not target locked, so if you want to switch targets, just switch targets

also definitely make sure you understand expanse/precision and set then accordingly
 
I am about to dive into the land of Plugins. And this is going to be my first one. I did a bit of reading, and watched the video. I do have one question I haven't gotten an answer to yet by searching around. My question is, since the UI is only for temporary conditions, and all permanent conditions to be set by "/" commands, wouldn't it be a good idea to code in a button into the UI to "commit" the changes instead of having to type them all out? I would think this would be a useful item to include to save the user time when they have the combination of conditions just right. And if there is a command to commit the temp changes from the UI to permanent ones, please let me know? (I admittedly didn't read through this entire thread either)...

no. it was simply not designed by that, and does not have that functionality, and as designed, can't/won't/doesn't/will not

and unfortunately, no, there isn't a command to do that because of the above.

if/when a future redesign happened, that might be something, but not currently something on the schedule

it is pretty uncommon to be needing to change all your settings around so much that using a slash command is just so overwhelming you want to die, and in that case, make your self a little Lua script (some folks do this for raid vs group stuff)
