Problem - pocketfarming issue

[andrewsmith60]

i'd like to start this thread off by saying how amazing this macro is and its become the only reason i really play eq anymore. Getting that out of the way i have a situation, i have a 115 zerk with all tov t1 and higher gear who is a silver account with a merc that i leave in grounds. anytime im looking at him he is chopping shit up like an iron chef on a soft carrot. The problem is when i go to bed and i wake up probably 75% of the time maybe more he is hanging in the guild lobby dead without chance for a rez. I'm wondering is it something im doing wrong,do the characters get unruly when u go to bed. Im hoping there is some simple fix to this because i feel like this guy with all the dps should not be dying in grounds ever. Thank you for you help in advance and have a good rest of your day.

i am wondering if there is a mob or a location where he gets stuck, and then mobs just swarm and eat him, some zones unfortunately has that issue, like get stuck on tree branch while trying to nav to a mob, and then you just get swarmed by respawns.

I generally keep a watch on my guy when he out there running, but also for a zerker, its important to make sure he is not using any of his self harm abilities, i have had that issue myself on my zerker, before i realized what was up.

I hope your friend understands the risks of account sharing.. DPG actively does monitor IP addresses and if it hops around too much in a short amount of time they'll flag it. Happened to me and a buddy a long while back and we each had a pretty significant time out for it.

Never trust a zerker!

self harm abilities

w out this some of his combat abilities wont work btw

yeah but farming low level content he should be fine, if you are using mq2berzerker, you should go there and read the commands to turn things off, i am so rusty on being a zerker i cant remember what the skills are named.

Do /zerk pause on when using pocketfarm

Your server must love that you have a 24 hour afking zerker in the grounds. I recently had to deal with a grounds afking zerker while trying to level and do quests and couldn't because of this situation. I leveled past it but was somewhat irritating.

But for your problem. Your zerker is most likely self harming to death; are you using a healer merc? That typically is a requirement if I am solo farming with mine.

Lol there is several of us in grounds like 5 all the time. Yes mercy but it's a silver account
