The problem isn't high lvls monopolizing all the content the real problem is the small amount of content that allows players to do this. Ksing and monopoly will end once there is a lot of horizontal content that allows many things to be done and all lvls. This would then stop many high lvls from going to low lvls and killing bosses way beneath them as they woul rather play in their own lvl area. Currently target lock may help some low lvls get some gear but its extremely harmful to end game players with very limited things to kill.
Lets take last update as an example there was only one boss for high lvls to really kill whih was aggy now if target lock was in place then ppl could miss out on even a chance at aggy and then thy have absolutly nothin to do for several days. While they wait they hunt other bosses which is below their lvl but even then are severally limited due to the lock so in the end high lvls suffered the most. Sure some would argue that it will give some clans who are smaller a chance to fight and once lock have the kill but lets really think about this even if they did get the kill they are still stuck for several days till it spawned again limiting their game expierence which should never happen a player that continues the game should never end up with very small amount of thigs to do as u lvl u should have more things to do. Now lets say the other clan or group is tired of missing out and are completely bored this will just make them want to cause the other group to wipe and then take the kill which is already starting to happen in live game, sure some say its unfair and players shouldnt do that but why not? As it is now the game is encourging players to grief others.
In the end the best solution is more horizontal content as the game grows more ppl will hopefully join as its the intentions of OTM but if u realize that at the end of the game u are severally limited and most players actually hate the game players wont want to play. Ik if i was limited to only one boss and chances are i couldnt kill the other bosses because of the lock preventing me and i missed out every now and then on the only boss my lvl i would quit the game because what else am i supposed to do. I personally hope OTM realizes this and removes the lock as more horizontal content comes out as it is really only harmful instead of helpful btw it affects many lower lvls (mid lvl players).
Re: I hate target lock.
#62+1You are quite a high level and still killing Brutus, falgren and coppinger? Ahh yes, you need to make money. How silly that there is a system which allows the level appropriate characters to get the quest pieces they need without paying you for them.This damn target lock thing..
The noobs love it and now think there amazing..
Are clans are battling for boss's at the monent and i am quite a high level
Today, i got ksed on falgren twice, brutus once and copperinger a few times as noobs only have to do like 15% damage and the boss is theres.. Its rediculous and makes us high levels seem useless when trying to make money on falgren etc as we get ksed by bragging low levels.
There is no competition anymore, even if i haste or have people help me we cannot beat them as not because they are strong because they are closer to the mobs level.. I miss the times where whoever did the most damage won the kill.
This is a very stupid system and makes me think whats the point of being a high level to kill something easy when some low level can come get it easier than us?
I am probably rambling but some of you must agree with me.
Tell me what you think and if this has been a problem for you.
Thanks!
I agree...this is a travesty!

Re: I hate target lock.
#63I thought this too. Unfortunately, it is not the case. Another player was killing a mob and having difficulty. After he idoled and the mob reset, he started again. In an effort to help him, I waited for the target lock to attach and then blew away the mob. Neither he nor I received the xp or gold.Target lock is fine. KSing no longer exists.
He initially accused me of ksing and I explained that I specifically waited for the lock to engage to help him. He apologized, appreciated me trying, and I explained that I would wait until more than 50% in the future before helping out.
But yes, you can still ks. You just don't receive any benefit for it.
This happened with me too, when i was trying to help my alt train...?

Re: target lock.
#66Taunt is perfectly fine guys. I am not a noob about this I can take a guess. It is only the aggro system and maybe the target lock type thing too. Here is my experience with aggro.
I was being helped killing trappers and the person killed it 3/4 way and I started attacking. Guess what? The irony was that since I was so low I hit it once and hit a 1. You would think that would not do anything with the aggro right? wrong. It attacked me! DANNNNNG :|

Re: target lock.
#68I hope your sig is updated because then who's talking? See my post yet? Target lock is not fine. It needs to be whoever attacks first gets lock not gradually when you get around 1/6

Re: target lock.
#70No target lock benefits you since you are a noob. Personally I am against it and I am a noob too. Plus I have a level 45 warrior. (33-45 is harder than you think) as you should know. well takes a day...
