Eureka - share your horror story and deaths

[Reckion]

I had a bunch of time in the area where the fate train is trying to spawn Old World Zu and tanks (and possibly other roles) try to aggro plantoids for that large aoe line, killing dozens <.<

[Okamimaru]

I'm still like level 3 as my internet has been out all week... decided to explore the area as best as I could... a level 19 spots me and attacks... I get hit for 160000 hp... I only have 24k hp...

I have nothing to share personally at this time. But man, just watching other Bards use Foe's at NMs surrounded by trash mobs... You are literally jumping into a tank of sharks covered in blood and raw meat.

This, so much this. You can always tell who isn't used to using BRD in Eureka. Cause all of a sudden all the mobs in the zone aggro to them, it would almost be amusing if it wasn't for the fact that they don't stop there....

I literally can't stay awake in grinding parties

Haven't have such bard in JP server the only thing I see is people walking infront of aggroed monster and they get cleaved

did the white knight fate. It was just about finished when some invisible aggroed mob smacked me down (pretty typical). so someone raises me when the fate is over. So, all good so far. I had return up, so used that. While I'm returning, some mob hits me again. By this time the train is leaving.... but the last healer out tossed me a raise, so phew.... or so I thought until I realised even though I'd not returned, it was now on cooldown - and the tunnel was now full of mobs that would splat me - yep, 15 minutes hiding under a rock in a cave hoping no mobs spy me. There's got to be something better than this....

[0:06](Ragnarok) kidding me finish the fate i opened? and no res?
[0:07]The party has been disbanded.

Joined a party, the above happened as said player invited me *of course I removed his/her name.

Other than that, the usual Zu RKOs are always horrifying to watch.

Does Foes generate aggro?

[KageTokage]

Does Foes generate aggro?

Yes. It "tags" everything within its massive 20 yard radius and makes them attack you.

It would be a splendid QoL fix to just make it not work on NPCs that aren't in combat.

My horror story is pretty much every time I've gone in there. Most recently, today, people wanted to spawn Amarok. I thought "cool, more crystals". Fought hydras for a bit, no real issues. Then....Amarok spawns. Everyone and their mothers are pulling hydras from around the room, and proceeded to nearly wipe the entire horde of people. Tanks also wouldn't tank Amarok in the middle of the room to avoid said hydras, which compounded things. I ended up dying myself, but when I received a raise, I immediately hit Return. First time I've actually done that during an NM. It was...bad. Really bad. No crystals, but it was totally worth avoiding that bloodbath.
