I was running around spamming brit today on europa and decided to spam for a second in blackrock when i saw a toxic ooze... i see 10 dead people waitingfor res... i res them all... then i go to the area to get my last .3 gain needed.... then this toxic ooze is just sitting in the middle of blackrock area... i mean sitting there... wouldnt follow me or anything so i decided to cast on it so it would target me some more... it finally teleported on me... then it would go back to where it was sitting... made it impossible for anyone to go there to gain... think gms were playing around with people on blackrock or is this the beginnning of the end... ?

That happened to me for a while a couple of weeks ago, too. So I tried to work archery on it (since it had eaten my golem), but I couldn't gain off the ooze. And I finally gave up.

It seems the ooze has the same AI as air elementals sometimes which means they prefer to keep their distance instead of close.

I can't remember how they finally knocked it free the other day. Either it vanished on its own or someone area peaced it. I forgot.

Keeping fire fields I have seen break them loose. Other then that, I don't know. You can always find a provoke bard to try to provoke another thing onto it

On top of this issue the black rocks on Pacific seem to have an adrenalin boost every now and gain and are able to zip right to a player. The first time I saw it was with an ooze. Almost seemed to me when I saw it that I was lagging and one moment it was at the edge of the screen and then it was on me. And when I ran from it, on a mount mind you, I was unable to out run it and it kept on me even when it should have vanished back to it's spawn spot.

Almost, IMO, seemed that the GMs were wanting to keep people from scripting there and using the Blackrock creatures to prevent it. In 2 hours I was there gaining my Stealing skill I saw 60+ creatures continually target from off screen, not even able to see them myself, and then zip in and kill a few of the players before everyone could react. Most of the players were staying as far down in the area as possible and still get their gains. Got to the point I stopping skill gaining and stayed up top to get the Blackrocks to target me so I could drag them off. I even made a comment about it seeming that the GMs were having fun and everyone else thought the same thing. The intensity of the Blackrocks coming into the area seemed to increase.

Mind you all that this is just my experience with them and my opinion...

They need to keep up the killings.

And... dare I say... to make it truly Risk vs Reward... IF you die by ANYTHING BlackRock/infected you have permanant skill loss (until regained).
