Toulan / Sweat Island Revive Abuse

[DarkMoonEnigma]

It has come to my attention that the Revive Heal on Sweat Island at Toulan is being abused by players and dragging the mobs to the revive to sweat, rather than the big rug circle we created for this purpose. The revive heal is meant to assist in healing after you die while sweating the mob. The revive is very close to the sweat circle rug, so there's not a long way to run back to the mob at all.

I have requested Ant to add a turret at the revive area to curtail the activity of sweating mobs there.

I dont sweat much anymore these days, but this seems to be a typical MA move. The only one its gonna hurt are new players, theres no TT value to lose. Heck theres not much value in sweat left anymore.

Where is the abuse? Who is it hurting?

We designed Sweat Island with the following in mind ...

• a well-defined very large Toulan circle rug with torches around it to contain a mob for sweating
• a spawn of various level Sunjoq at a distance that would not interfere with the sweating process
• terminals and a revive close by just around the corner from the sweat circle
• a revive heal for those who are killed by a mob and a means to get back to the sweat circle quickly
• we added a teleporter from Guardian Village that goes directly next to the revive and the terminals for convenience
• this teleporter works both ways

When a group of players are gathered around the revive sweating, which is right next to the teleporter, it can disrupt incoming players, especially when the sweat mob is standing on and across the teleporter pad. It presents the issue of arriving players aggro'ing the mob with the potential of being killed.



We did not design Sweat Island to work this way, and as soon as a turret can be added by the revive and teleporter the problem will be resolved. In the meantime, I am asking that anyone going to Sweat Island to sweat mobs, be considerate and do it the way it was intended to be done.

Thank You

Another possible solution could be to put the revival terminal on top of the bubble tower
