LA is a very unpopulated server. I can walk around T2A and not see a single soul. But once we start doing a spawn we get raided all the time. I was wondering do people scout all the time checking if anyone is doing any spawns? (It tends to be the same guild that raids us as well)

Yeah most guilds send in a ghost at every spawn to see if they are being done, guilds are known to create noob accounts and log them at spawns just to monitor them 24/7

Im guessing ghost cam.

People go die and then travel all the way to a spawn and log out with their ghost there. Then they can log in and see if someone is working the spawn...there is also talk about a program that will alert you when one is being worked...

I do remember one guild talking about how each person ni the guild had to run a seperate ghost account for specific spawns.

this btw, is probably the whole reason the Necro Spell Excorcism was developed.

it was

Some guilds don't use ghost cams and just scout all the time all over the place. If you use the transporters located at fire efficiently enough, you can hit up each champ zone in less than 10 mins if you wanted to.

It's ghost cams Ben, nothing we can do.

Even exorcism doesn't work well enough to stop them....

Except have more people on and hope we can finish the spawn before they do their "scouting".

I see thank for the input. BTW what does exorcism do?

they need to just create a safe boundarie where if you die within the spawn, your body is transported out of the spawn boundary so when you get res'd, you can safely get your body. The catch is, ghosts cant enter that boundary line so when you die, you also get kicked out of the zone.

Yes it may prove to be an annoyance to guilds that have frequent deaths or even pvp raids, but it would provide more challenge and more stratagie to keep the ones that died alive and to keep the spawn going at the same time

Since ghost cams typically have been dead for a very long time, no corpse is on the same subserver so a ghost in a Champ Spawn region should* be transported away when cast, problem is, the ghost has to basically be by the alter for it to work. While for a ghost cam to be effective it just has to be in the general area (outside of the alter area, but close enough to see people working the spawn). This renders exorcism useless.

The spell needs to have a greater effect radius in order to be usefull?

Pretty much, but it'd have to be something like a 70 tile radius.

Even then, all someone would have to do is be 71 tiles out, then walk 10 in, see if the spawn is past tier 1 and they can assume someone is working it.

Looks like we got are work cut out for us then!!
