KS on Rosmerta
Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2013 1:58 am
It would be nice to have some feedback from Rosmerta on what is considered a KS. This was posted on the General Discussion. There were some outliers, but for the most part everyone considered only the The I'm Bigger Than You Are to be a KS. Hopefully, we can come to some kind of agreement and relieve some of the toxic and insulting talk. But if not, maybe we can just understand each other a little more.
Different Scenarios:
The Stare-Down
Group staring down boss/PH, debating whether to attack. High levels runs it, doesn't hesitate to attack and kills. Is this KS?
The If-You-Go, I-Go
Two groups staring at boss. One starts, the other immediately starts. Second group gets kill. Is this KS?
The I'm Right Behind You
People are gathering at boss. Most of one group is there. Only one or two of the other group is there. The one or two start knowing that the rest of their clan is on their way. Other group jumps in and gets kill. Is this KS? The reverse is also questionable. Is it a KS to start when one group is mostly there, but your clan is not?
The I'm Bigger Than You Are
One group is fighting boss. A high level or two runs up and starts attacking. High levels get kill. Is this KS?
Thoughts:
My biggest problem with a First Hit KS rule is it does not allow for clans to organize. Imagine having most of your clan at Lava, with more than enough to kill. You were waiting for a clan member to arrive who needed for quest. In the meantime, a rival clan member runs up and hits, hoping to use the I'm Right Behind You. Instead, your clan jumps in a kills. IMHO, this is not a KS. Some may disagree.
The developers realize the problem with a first strike rule. That's why the target lock will activate after a certain amount of damage, not the first hit.
