Guide - The Call - CoV Mission Vid

[Sic]

Gave a run through "The Call" this evening. went in blind, so wiped ones trying to actually do the mechanics instead of just killing the mob.
tl;dr - save burns till last dude and win.



CWTN Alias
You can make this alias to use eqbc to easily send your group to do the same command "/cwtn mode 0" would use eqbc to have everyone go mode 0, "/cwtna mode 0" would have everyone including yourself go mode 0 (CWTNA, A for all)

if you are creating it for the first time you will want to /bcaa it all so everyone creates it without restarting macroquest

/alias /cwtn /noparse /bcg //docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName}

/alias /cwtna /noparse /bcga //docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName}

first time:

/noparse /bcaa //alias /cwtn /noparse /bcg //docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName}

/noparse /bcaa //alias /cwtna /noparse /bcga //docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName}

For your kiassassist toons you would do something like:
/varset BurnAllNamed 0
this would only work for your burns inside your burn section
if you have burns in your dps section (like i do), you will want to change those conditions to include && ${BurnAllNamed}

How did you turn burns off/on without fucking with .inis?

How did you turn burns off/on without fucking with .inis?

I show it in the vid

but I have an alias /alias /cwtna /noparse /bcga //docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName}
the a is for "All", I also have just /cwtn for the group not including me

and then i can /cwtna burnallnamed off and after the mission /cwtna burnallnamed on

 

[Sum1]

That's just for the CWTN plugins, right? Do you happen to know off the top of your head what the syntax is for kiss?

gotcha - might be able to varset the BurnAllNamed to 0 /varset BurnAllNamed 1

BurnAllNamed

0

0/1/2

0=Off/1=On - When enabled, this will burn ALL named mobs, Ignoring kissassist_info.ini MobsToBurn entry. 2=On - Will burn ONLY mobs listed in your kissassist_info.ini MobsToBurn entry.

Sic just tried this, they all went nuts, I tried your alias, but should there be some sort of response across the group when you tell them not to burn?
Also do you need to do they alias every time or does the plugin remember it forever?

well if you JUST now made the command you have to create it on everyone unless you reloaded macroquest2 on everyone. once you create an alias and relog everyone would have it, but otherwise only the person who just created it would have it. sounds like you didn't create it for everyone

/bcaa //alias /cwtna /noparse /bcga //docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName}

if you did a /cwtna burnallnamed off each of them would display burnallnamed is now off in their class window

 

[quo]

the Me.Class.ShortName part is that how exactly you type it in or do i actually have to put character name, class etc in?

 

[Sic]

the Me.Class.ShortName part is that how exactly you type it in or do i actually have to put character name, class etc in?

note - it appears i mistyped it earlier


you can literally paste this in game /bcaa //alias /cwtna /noparse /bcga //docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName}

this says
/bcaa -> I'm going to broadcast everything else to everyone
//alias -> ok ya'll we're creating an alias
/cwtna -> this alias is going to be "/cwtna"
/noparse -> we need this because we want to use some TLO stuff and want the END person's info and not MY info
/bcga -> the alias is going to make you issue to our entire group
//docommand -> we need to do the double / for eqbc and then the docommand so we can use the next bit of information
/${Me.Class.ShortName} -> this will resolve to the "other dude"s class shortname

They all seem to think they are shadowknights at the moment, ive just quit out and restarting from desktop. I am not getting any response to the burnallnamed off hotkey

that's why the noparse is there.

Hmm, did it all again, but they still think they are SK's and wont turn off burn, SK is though.

yeah one sec, i screwed something up somewhere

 

[Sic]

@quo

sorry for the troubles - was totes my fault

do this

/alias /cwtna delete
/alias /cwtn delete

then
/noparse /bcaa //alias /cwtn /noparse /bcg //docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName}
/noparse /bcaa //alias /cwtna /noparse /bcga //docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName}

Awesome Sic, worked that time, Bard will just have to burn how ever he wants.

hah - same feeling - bard does what the bard wants to do

 

[quo]

Worked perfectly, other than odd deaths too zrk and rog for no reason, save burns till Vulak and all good, done on first try! 2 to go.

 

[Sylanos]

I did this mission today and my rogue died on first dragon. Corpse was nowhere to be found and cleric couldn’t Rez. We finished mission without him but if we were a weaker group it could have caused some serious issues. The first day I did this bard died and corpse was there to Rez. Unsure what kind of fckery went on today, but just something to watch for.

 

[Sic]

Its official!

Bloody Dragons, you cant trust them with pork products. (I am not trying to insinuate that the McRib has any pork in it at all!)

 

[q8reflex]

Success today, had a cleric and shaman in DPS mode plus 2 zerkers with T4 TBL Dissident with a war tank. Used the stones to click on war at the exact corner color (Red for Fire - Clear for Crystal - Yellow and brown) Activated BURN on Vulak in the end and ignored one golem who actually reached the central crystal, hope this helps.

Note: Before you engage Vulak, drop an empowered Fellowship camp, helps a LOT!.

Need to watch out for the random dot/nuke, frontal ae damage, wild ramp spike. That is enough to impact even mostly raid geared toons. Fortunately, it doesn't happen very often.

had this question come up a couple of times:

How would i make my kiss toons a button to not burn?

For your kiassassist toons you would do something like:
/varset BurnAllNamed 0
this would only work for your burns inside your burn section
if you have burns in your dps section (like i do), you will want to change those conditions to include && ${BurnAllNamed}

To help people searching.
Toggle kissassist variable
Toggle KA variable
/command KA variable toggle

How much was the McRib sponsorship for the video? I may be able to roll some other marketing work your way... also do you take sponsorship payments in plat/krono?

In taking this down on the regular with my crew. All 115 SK, Bard, Shaman, BST, zerk and Necro. The Necro and beast are way under AA. Gear is a mix of snowbound and ice bound on most. The bard and SK have the good TS stuff from ToV And CoV. I’ve encrusted all around for non vis.

I use CWTN for all except bard and Necro who use kiss and RGmerc respectively.
I zone in and walk straight forward and drop an empowered campfire and take the guy to the left first and then go counter clockwise. If it is up I /bcaa //alt act 486 to staunch recovery everyone if mana is low before Vulak. I pop dragon glyph and kill the boss. I ignore all mechanics, and Vulak is usually dead before the golems get there. I don’t save burns but I do pop destruction glyphs for anyone that has it for the final boss.

Did exactly as you said and was a first time go on this. Now if I can just to Aryonar! =(

 

[oggobogg]

once again, thank you for this! Worked like in Vid

if i take your circle (start right side) i seem to get an add at second mob.
also i need to pop discs to engage the 4 Dragons otherwise i can die the first 4-8% of mob. Boss himself is cake

Anyone having issues with CWTN toons assisting or Moving closer to engage Vulak. Maybe i am not getting close enough to hit camp on since his hit box is yuge.

nope

and since you're moving around and such - just use chase mode instead of assist mode

 

[hytiek]

Anyone having issues with CWTN toons assisting or Moving closer to engage Vulak. Maybe i am not getting close enough to hit camp on since his hit box is yuge.

Actually I have had this problem and I believe it does have to deal with how large of a hit box Vulak has and support toons campradius is smaller so they are behind me initially tanking Vulak and kind of just watch.

This was very easy to over come though. So what I started to do is once the 4th dragon dies, I heal up, smash the 'follow me' button to ensure that everyone is with me as I enter Vulak's chamber. I run under Vulak, hit my Glyph, un-follow me, then I have a button that sends my toons behind Vulak (I press this as I have Vulak targetted):



and then I loot the chest =)

Now you could pull your toons with you how ever you like. The only mission I use "Chase" mode on is Aaryonar, everything else I use vorpal (personal choice) and I use Come2Me and that Behind button. This is how I prefer to micro manage my toons, others might not.

 

[Hendo513]

AAry does it sometimes to when she comes down but its hit or miss if it happens.

Have they changed this mission lately? I used to steamroll it but lately my tank keeps dropping on the third dragon. Which ever is in the southeast corner.
