Ok lock att let's proe this wrong then had enough of this seriously crap! Idea.

Why would it ruin game ok clan in group waiting for members to come are at boss and bam person on carpet atts while rest of his clan comes he gets drop.
No that sucks ba idea seriously locking a boss you wouldn't understand because ur not a high level.

Ok next thing u don't like t cause high levels take all bosses I do understand ur frustration an I also saw that someone was saying just cause we can't buy plat and get high level... Ow wait you choose not to buy plat why piss off all high levels who pay for game with plat with some people who can not be bothered to level at all and don't buy plat at all

I know the system needs changing but you should level! I mean level 70-80 is not high anymore. Join a good clan or make one then get the boss drops.

Also why cap damage on any bosses hen the level 100+ have put the time and effort in that the level 70s can't be bothered to do its pathetic moaning cause you get ksed! There needs to be a difference but not to help lower levels get bosses the level 100+ have earnt the right to farm them. If anything there should be a 20% point system for taking the most damage I.e the tanks so that group full of dps can't get kill so easy also should be a Druid skill which adds to damage so they are more usefull in ks battled but locking mobs not fun at all

Hi mdimarco.

It sounds to me as though there are a number of players for it and a number of players against it. As I have said, I am against it but at the same time I can easily see your frustrations. I've even had times when I was ksed on regular mobs like 1 and 2 star frostroots with the only explanation given of 'I like xp too'. Maybe more ideas should be looked into before settling on, and creating mass-arguments around, one. I think there is a solution, but latching on to the first idea isn't necessarily the best and I personally see too many problems both for the devs and the players surrounding a ‘first hit lock’ solution.

Just a little spit-balling off the top of my head...

What if the devs made it so that on certain bosses (and *only* certain bosses) there was a max damage cap that no matter your level or stats you could not deal damage above? That would certainly even the playing field to some degree so that a single, or pair, of high level DPS builds could not swoop in and ks a target. Maybe the devs could look into what the average damage per hit is for players 5 levels above the boss and cap the max possible damage there? There seems to be a huge fluctuation in the damage dealt that I personally find annoying anyway. Haha. I've notice on regular mobs 50 levels under me I can hit from 200-500 damage on regular melee hits on the same mob. But enough getting off topic.

Has anyone thought of making bosses less desirable by making it so if you are 30 or more levels over the boss it does not drop gold and if you have completed the quest you only receive a normal gem as a reward instead of the quest item? I am sure a LOT of players would quit bothering with Falgren if they knew all that was in it for them was a ruby or jet. This would have to have its own work around for mixed groups of players that need and don’t need the quest. Maybe a player that needs the quest and would normally get the boss drop gets the quest item but one that doesn’t need the quest item gets a gem.

Does either of these ideas sound more acceptable to the community? What other ideas does anyone have?

yes they do, but most high level clans need the drops to equip their clan




the most obvious example are the catacomb bosses, they drop diamonds, diamond soul orbs, and diamond demon stones, these bosses are obviously oriented for low levels but get taken by high levels because the gems they drop are for meteoric weapons

Wow this topic again.
I am going to try to solve the entire problem and make everyone happy. (OK, stop laughing)
I have included a number (probably not all) similar threads.

Summary:

1. Some people like the challenge of a good old fashioned KS match. So you will never be able to please everyone.
2. Some just like the thrill of screwing somebody else out of their hard work just because they can.
3. All it takes is a few jerks to ruin it for everyone.
4. A desire exists to protect the lower level toons who are just trying to get their quests from higher levels with delusions of godhood.
5. “I am here to play a game, to have fun, not to deal with a lot of drama, I have a life full of drama I don’t want it here.”

Some proposals have been:

Method 1. Total damage -Whoever does the most damage gets the kill (or a variant is Whoever has Agro at death gets the kill) this is our existing system.
Method 2. First Hit –First person or group to hit after a spawn or reset gets the kill (this is the common honor system and defines a KS)
Method 3. Contribution -Use a credit system to measure how each person contributed to the kill and distribute rewards accordingly.

So how do we address all the issues?
Proposal: have multiple systems depending on the mob/area

Method 1: Total damage -Any 4-6 star mob that is NOT specifically required for a quest. (Basically all 4 and 5 star mobs since most 6 star mobs are quest related)
Method 2: First Hit -Any mob with 3 stars or less (solves most KS problems)
Method 3: Contribution -Any 4-6 star mob that is specifically required for a quest. (For the most part this means most 6 star mobs.) Drop schedule can also be taken into account so those who need the drops get priority over those who have already finished the quest. (There needs to be a minimum contribution to get credit. We don’t want someone to walk up to falgren and throw a single punch at the end and get a dragon.)
