All probably remember those nasty yellow flying buggers.... Near Sanctuary...

Quest lvl 70ish, flying mob level 43 with defense and attack like mobs level 75....

And those follow you without losing aggro for miles: I took one to dreamport few days ago for fun and it did follow me all the way south from Sanctuary to Dreamport: it only lost aggro when i landed b:laugh

Made me think of a possible player run event: the Cyannair race hehe....

Simple rules:
- Starting point in Sanctuary area for registration, flying gear tuning, debriefing and refreshment.
- 5 Check points with Officials: maybe Dreamport, Plume, Lost, Ether Arch and then Sanctuary... Full run over the map.
- Participants must tag check point with their aggroing cyannair b:laugh following them for each check point to be validated: check point in the air as they lose aggro if you land.
- First arrived back to Sanctuary after tagging the 5 check points wins the race..
- Price to be defined...

That is just an event idea and I am not promising it will ever happens but kind of sounds like fun hehe.

Feel free to input, modify or steal the idea would you like to organize it yourself :)

    The starter towns and arch have invisible walls that block mobs you have to be careful of.

    That is not so for Spectors, I had 1 follow me to the south teleporter not at max height, when autopath stopped and I was afk it proceeded to kill me. So invisible mob walls around Arch is a big NO.

    I thought they would lose aggro if you got too far ahead of them?

    They lose agro for me because my sword is too fast. Interesting race idea, since you basically need to moderate your speed to the exact point of holding agro while not falling behind the other competitors.

    You might want to make a "no Increased Movement Speed mob rule" if you did try it.

    one time , one followed me all the way to 1k streams.. it losed aggro when i jumped of my fly mount.

    just pass them and stay same level .; you ll have the m follow you all the way
    I look at all the trollers, and Pvpers.. and know they wouldnt have lasted 30sec on Camelot.

    Rules= Know your enemy (players and NPCs) gives you more chances to survive.

    Wow really? Around march or so I tried for an hour to get a spector through that wall. I tried height 78, tried using knockback to push it through, I tried going through the ship area. Had no luck at all. So is the wall really gone?

    actually it depend on the distance away from spawn when you land. i landed in sanc a few times and those buggers would descend and attack me.
    1. If I kill you; do something about it yourself, don't go complaining to my wife.
    2. If you have less kill counts then me, don't expect me to take pk advice from you.
    3. If you are hiding behind an alt, don't expect me to acknowledge your existence.

    I read somewhere that if you fall from more than 40m, you lose aggro, but haven't tested it yet.

    i've had those airborne "jack nicholsons' chase me to the ground a few times, and i've tried jumping into the river to get away from them....they kept bombing me even in the water! i had to swim underwater a ways to shake them off.

    but i really have to try this dragging one around, sounds like fun! but one question- what happens when it loses aggro...will it hurt anyone else? and what does it do, fly alll the way back home, or just dissapear?

    wonder why the game designers made them like this?

    It'll enter "retreat mode" and fly away home without hurting anyone.

    What a crazy fun idea! Actually I had one follow me all the way back to Arch & I had no idea it was trailing behind me. Once I stopped at my auto track destination over the CS area at level 78 height I died because I had been afk. I came back just in time to see this darn spector laughing while he finished me off. b:chuckle
