Weather

[fuergrissa]

I have no clue about anything other than wind weather, But I know that it doesnt just increase aggro/link range, but it will also change them from aggro/link by signt to sight AND sound. IE no weather, you can watch movement and pull when they are "facing" away from eachother, even if they are close. With weather up on the other hand they cannot be looking at eachother, or you when your pulling, and must be a significant distance apart from eachother reguardless of what direction they are facing.

Gears are always sound aggro. Normally, they are small sound range, decent sight range. When weather comes into effect, they have decent sound range, and large sight range.

It simply increases their range.

I've never had a problem pulling gears in weather. It takes longer to get a safe pull, is all. Just have to know your gears.

Problem is, it sometimes takes longer than it's worth. Those triple rooms are sometimes a night mare when they decide to simply stick together or stay near the entrance >_> It's way annoying, as if pulling and killing the freaking gears wasn't annoying enough.

By the way, i've never seen this commented ever. Has anyone, just for kicks, tried to sneak past some gears? It's more curiosity than anything, but what if the boss is nerfed until gears start actualy warping? Say, you kill 2-1-1-2 gears and skip the rest without making them warp, is the boss nerfed or unnerfed? Never heard of any experience with this, would be nice to know. I've always though that having the same condition for both a rampart pop and boss nerfing was kinda odd

before we had enough strength to kill all the gears, we used to always sneak past them all as we were supersticous that them warping made it stronger, but it didnt effect it.

I know it's kind of late to add but we get water weather a lot in Arrapago Remnants, and it greatly reduces sound aggro from all mobs (gears included). We practically have to run right in front of them to sight aggro to get their attention without ranged on the first floor.

yesterday we sucessfully cleared the 10 gears. weather didn't appear once during the pull. I had a 2nd char in alzabi, and confirmed that the weather inside remnants seems to be the same as in alzabi. As soon as wind poped/depoped in remnants, same happened in alzabi.

Ok this is just a wild guess here but:

I usualy play around with the way i go though a zone depending on magic droping or other cells. Normaly I go NW on 2nd floor, then West on 3rd floor usualy and didnt see wind weather at all for 4 months when on 4th floor (Might be luck).
Recently i had started going East on 3rd an recently ive been seeing a increased amount of wind (Which has ruined 3 runs, with being 5/10 on gears or less).
Then the other day i had almost everyone in my group turn up so needing magic i went SW on 2nd and East on 3rd, and didnt see wind weather at all.

In summary, Maybe its triggered by the route you take to the boss?

[Not Kuno]

No it's the weather that zone has at the moment.

Has anyone checked to see if weather in specific areas can be associated with remnants in anyway? I know most people have set schedules and wouldn't tailor their schedule to weather checker NPCs, but perhaps it could be a deciding factor on whether or not you wanna do LBC for example.

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT.

Weather popping every time we do zhayolm madames is fucking stupid. Having to do 100000 fucking sac pulls just to get to a room and then the portal trying to get past 3 rooms of true sound huge aggro range linking gears (and yes we could have thf PD-> flee at start but i like my TH on my mob and I can spare no one else that would survive long enough). This is rediculous.

buy an hermes quencher. I'm sure anyone can get to portal with rr+ hermes quencher.

It would be nice to not have half my party or more in weakness when we hit 6th floor.
