I was wondering if this is a counter measure agaist people who farm afk, i had seen in really low level maps like “Crystal Mines 1F” high level characters (40+) dead agaist the vubbe miners wich i belive is impossible, are they getting killed by the system? is this planned? or they are getting kill for real by miners ? haha
Maybe the Reaper exists?
its a special mob designed to stop afk botters from farming in one area for too long. Ive only seen an image of it once, but I figured it was disabled in the Beta.

Every enemy in the game can drop a red orb. When it’s used it summons an aggressive version of the enemy that dropped the orb. People are taking these orbs (from high level enemies) and using them near low level botters.
Basically people are using dead branch like items to get bots killed.

there’s a reaper that roams around. It spawns and 1 hit kill players. So if you are in AFK you’re dead meat. This is system automated. This reaper is invulnerable. The only thing you will notice is there’s like a bar (light yellow) It’s timer before it disappears.
Never seen one, interesting.
This, I’d like to see.
I guess the reaper they are talking about is this guy here:
Notice the yellow bar.

Ohhhh I think have seen that one. It’s a boss-like monster all covered by a black robe, wearing a scythe and spawning smaller versions of him. I saw it next to the Vakarine Statue located at Srautas Gorge. People were freaking out, trying to hit but dealing no damage. Am I correct, or is it an actual world boss from that location?
I thought they meant that guy, but he also makes his arrival in the mausoleum chapel occasionally ( supposedly the infamous zone for afk auto attackers) seen him kill a bunch of afkers and it was fun to witness
I remember seeing the reaper once on some map after the gateway of kings. A party was grinding a small area at the time, I just assumed he was the field boss for that zone. I was actually playing a full con priest at the time and tanking him, people left and right were dropping like flies. I just assumed he hit really hard.
The reaper exists. I saw a afk attacking when I was doing quest on mine and than suddenly the map changed and the reaper appeared. Until then, I didn’t know what the reaper was and I thought hat he was a map boss but he is so strong ahhahaha
Man… I wouldn’t want to be there when he shows up. Though watching those afkers getting pawned by him must be a sight to see. XD
I’m pretty sure the reaper system hasn’t been implemented in this beta or else there wouldn’t be so many botting complaints. I too myself, have tested and successfully afk botted for 16hours straight in 1 day, character was perfectly fine and still attacking, untouched.
I bet GMs summon him because i saw one on either the first or second day of the beta. I ran like a scared girl.
I have not encountered this reaper, but it’s a not a bad way to implement certain functions. Imagine the horror of seeing your crystal mines ‘miner’ dead with more than a dozen gems scattered around you.
I’ve had it spawn on me multiple times with pyromancer at the lanterns in the workers lodge, it is 100% in the beta. Your AFK bot is just too slow to actually trigger it, since the mobs need to be killed relentlessly and in large packs.
That’s a good way to kill afk bots, but this is not punitive enought for sure.
My bot died? no problem let’s just bring him back and do it again forever.
We need a real anti-bot team giving real sanctions. I don’t care for this beta, they bot for nothing, but it will be a real cancer at the release if they don’t fight against it.
Bots even farms locations where you need to do quests, you wait your quest mob to spawn and they just one shot it with a ranged attack, denying you the possibility of making your basic quests.
fyi you can use telekinesis in duels to smite people against afk autoattackers and damage them. Some people do that on the kepa bots apparently.
