EQ2 Forum "Against the Elements" prelude event feedback and bugs

I have one small concern about the "riled" mobs and kill stealing (since Zamsari mentioned that some Test tourist boldy did a kill-steal on her for this). The "riled" mob that spawns before the tempest becomes attackable does a knockback. This means an extra second or two where a rude player (who doesn't understand that if you group, everyone gets the currency) could dive in after someone else has taken care of all the elementals, and poach the currency-granting tempest. Is there a reason for the knockback on the riled mob? It sort of makes sense that the tempest has a knockback, but the riled one leaves a bit of room for griefing."
Huh, there's an AOE knockback triggered at the moment the tempest is made attackable (which happens when the 5th riled elemental is defeated), but that is the only knockback I can find scripted upon the characters. Perhaps that is what you are observing? If so, yes. There is a reason for the knockback at that moment. It's the same reason for a knockback when the goblins spawn as the last NPC for the clothwork content during Bristlebane Day. ~ Kaitheel
