Kill Stealing and not giving a Damn about it

General Discussion
#1

If there’s one thing i’ve alwats tried not to do in an MMO is the kill steal since it’s very annoying to other players and, until today, i’ve always managed not to or at least, not intentionally.

But today is a new day and i’m playing ToS… a game where i have a quest that involves killing 99 enemies and that gives the respawn time of such enemies every 1-2 minutes.

A game were i was stuck for horus yersterday trying to do that quest because there were quest grinding parties, grinding partiues, on every single channel… and in 3 hours the only thing i could do was kill 3 of them.

So today after the mainenance i hopped in hoping to find the channels kind of clear to finish this quest and, when another player came into the map aggroing the majority of the enemies there i didn’t think TWICE about killstealing all of them from him with an AoE and you know what? For the first time i did it on purpose i really didn’t give a damn.

The only thing i could say after getting his insults, that he was totally right in giving me, was to message him with a “now go on the forum and complain to IMC because we get a 99 enemies killing quest and the mobs have a ridicously low spawn rate”

Ah… the beautiful word of kill steal… hope thi game won’t get me addicted to it…

Here, here. xD It’s almost unavoidable, it’s done pretty rampantly, and spawn can be quite small. You’re suppose to compete in a well populated MMO anyway~*

Broken channels, bad spawn rates… Overall anger with how shitty the EA is right now…yeah, this all leads to players behaving like assholes.

I’ve been killing stuff other people have been fighting and they’ve been doing to me. Neither side has complained… We did a bunch of this in Ashaq Prison and we actually had fun, even though we weren’t in a party. I kept luring enemies into that fire circle or placing a Stake Stockade between enemies and a taunting Peltasta.

I don’t mind being k’sed at all since I main support even though I also have mid as my secondary, If the jungler is behind and I’m quite fed I’d let him take the kill… Oh wait wrong game…

Well to be honest the spawn rates are quite unresponsive right now unlike back in beta but recently its getting better anyway… Though I do hate it when you have to kill a number of mobs and thus… after getting 1 kill, the remaining mobs are already dead… Thanks Archers! Though having a party helps a lot.

I don’t mind competing to see who gets to a mob first, but if I see someone already hitting a mob I usually don’t touch it. I honestly wish there was just a tag system so if I hit it first you can’t hit it. As it is being some classes is just a horrible experience when trying to kill something fast because there is a ranger barraging everything to death regardless of if you were there first or not.

did you know that when someone hits your mob at least 1 time chances are you only receive 1% of the experience?

i have an exp viewer and saw i get 18 exp everytime someone hits my mobs and the normal exp i should get is 1037 from hollowventer

so to screw them in exp is to just hit it 1 time. to screw them in questing i think you should really kill his mobs

with the mobs spawn soo low…KS etiquette goes out of the book.

I try to avoid stuff I know people are actively targetting, but honestly, playing a support that nearly /always/ gets ks’d because I kill so slowly, sometimes I just say screw it and go for it. Once things calm down I won’t be ksing at all hopefully laughs. my angel halo is fake.
