Ah, the days when a high level would quickly knock the dummy down to a couple of hit points so a low level could finish it for the bonus instead of spending several minutes beating it down.iirc, after the first beatdown they stand up again but in "helpless" condition. once upon a time was useful, when you had to refresh manually all the buffs in the old amenities system.
they reset when the airship instance is reset, afaik that means after 5 minutes if no one is in it.
Lam Kobolds have been on the wishlist for guild amenities for a while nowWe need to option to buy a dummy with like 1 mil hp to test on.
In LoTRO the guilds, or kinships as they are called there, can have a DPS test dummy in the kinship house. It is an immortal dummy that tells you what your DPS is after you have been attacking it, first after 1 minute and then after 3 minutes.
I do not understand why we can not have something like this in DDO.

but we wont ever see them on Live because of how much strain they put on servers with how they calculate DPS.

Create multiple dummies (a 6x6 grid in Hold would be nice - or, HEY SSG MAKE IT AN AS ONLY upgrade!!) if you really want "a feel." Even then, meh.Makes it hard to get a feel for DPS when they change how they react to damage. Is there an upside to this behaviour that I'm just missing?
As a long time VIP, I think I've more than paid for a cleanup. Kobold's certainly have some acrobatics that we may have been teased with but are now gone.Steelstar has said before that the test kobolds were made with very sloppy, inefficient code, since they were just meant to be throwaway temporary test mobs. I think originally they were only meant for dev testing, but they put a few on Lama once and they've stuck around since then...but we wont ever see them on Live because of how much strain they put on servers with how they calculate DPS.
