Ok heres the scenario if target locking gets in game.
U just need to get someone with potions to pot the boss while backup gets there. I dont think I need to elaborate more on this topic because all high lvls will agree would mess things up since u would just need to lock and let other clans do 99% of damage and that even i ksing isnt a good thing having some competition is fun! Also if theres no interaction for bosses whats the point of this game being an MMO? If u read this and think im right reply +1 before admin those a mistake. Thx guys

I agree target lock is not the way to go. The game just needs to clean up the loose ends (dragon discs no trade or not to those who have completed warden quest). I have realized that target lock would make the game more boring and less interesting.

No.
You will know if your group doesn't have the lock.
Then just let the one player die. Its pretty hard to start a boss and keep yourself alive for very long on pots.
While it may make rushing a little bit bigger problem, I think it is a good step to prevent KS. Then Rushing can be addressed later.

Ya I guess Rangers can, or way over level tanks.
But the thing is that high levels can do the same thing now. Even if the lower levels started in after the high level, they would still have no chance to get the boss anyway as more high levels from the high level players clan started to arrive.
For competitive groups of similar levels there would be more of a difference.
But would it be any worse really? I don't think so. Then you aren't inadvertantly supporting another clan with your plat lol, you would know who has the kill from the get-go.

The only people I can see directly negativley effected from target lock would be clans that were designed to KS.

Sort of but this is taking away fun from some servers.
OTM before you make a decision go get 20-50 beta testers put them into two rival clans then,
Firstly try this old method dps being the prime factor of which team gets the boss
Secondly try the target lock method.
In my opinion ks is the fun way to go since people wait some time for bosses to pop up then when one is finally up its like REJECTED.... such and such hit it first.

If target lock was added it would be competition of who can stand the closest to the bosses spawn point. Since first aggro would get you the kill for your clan. I know this because it was once a rule in our world that whoever got first aggro would get the boss. This just doesn't work, keep it the way it is.

Think of the clanless like me who may have the pots and some friends at a hope of getting a boss when a larger clan sees and calls all there 120+ levels.Or u have been camping for hour on falgren and it spawns then a larger clan comes and kses, it has happened to me and it was no fun
But it also eliminates competition in the game for bosses.It seems that your with the better clan or your not then your gonna get ksed without the lock

target lock only works if groups actually still wipe to bosses. Many times we have seen a group bite more than they can chew and kill a boss for two hours and just use idols and pots to keep him from resetting. I don't mind coming in second on a boss just as long as I know there's a chance for us to get him if they wipe, but that never happens anymore.
Fix the idol timer first before implementing target lock.
