You know what would be nice,

Being able to taunt the target lock away from another group? How about that?

Lol... You guys sound like a bunch of old men sitting on park bench complaining. I don't mean to be outright offensive, but come on. You don't know how target lock will work. You have no idea.

More or less, there are basically two pieces of information and everything else is Chicken Little the 'sky is falling' drama.

One piece of information is that there will be beta testing and anything put into the update will be tested by OTM and players. Some form of a target lock system, it seems, will be part of that. We have no idea what that system actually is.

Here is second piece of information from Admin:

In terms of genuine clan v clan competition, personally I think there is going to be more competition and more tactics, because now you have to decide whether to engage earlier than you would like to get a lock, but then risk getting wiped because you don't have enough people yet, vs waiting and potentially losing the boss to someone who engages earlier.

It just adds an extra dimension to the competitive aspect, now it's not 100% just dps, it's now also going to be how good is your tank, healers etc.

Please read this. It does not match your hand wringing, gnashing of teeth and tearing of clothes attitude. It does not tell us exactly what target lock is, but it does indicate that it is not simply a first hit lock that you all are losing sleep over. Notice the phrase "it's not 100% just dps, it's now also going to be how good is your tank, healers, etc."

This seems to indicate that the lock will be a combination of things, more robust than the artificiality of dps as the sole measure, but also not just some first hit 'lock and survive' scenario. If that is the case, and we dont know that it is, it simply means that an all dps team, taking none of the risk, may not be able to get a kill. It is not clear from this that such a team cannot get a kill, only that they now actually have to compete on a level playing field. It does not imply a lack of competition. It specifically implies that the nature of that competition will change.

Am I missing a post that would make your nelly nervousness make sense?

Will it work and be fun, etc? I have no idea. Neither do you.

For me, target lock would ruin the current game for me. Of course im not a pro-kser and yes i am in the top clan of Morrigan (Avalon) but i am a pure tank and my only other charac is a druid and even if ive been ksed sometimes obviously it wouldnt help at all. Plus for devloppers theres no point in putting target lock since if a group of rogues try to ks they will obviously use pots/idols and the first group uses some too but with target lock you would just need to pot the boss till ur clan arrives so just 1 group uses plat. Also for the aggra issue if you take an hour to kill it ur not strong enough for it. Our clan did it over 20 times and our average time is less then 13 minutes our record under 11. If 4-5 rogues try to ks just warp to tower a rogue cant survive dragon fire. For the lvling issues target lock wouldnt help since high lvls who ks the lower ones (i think there stupid) but they would still continue to do it and high lvls would power lvl their alts on the mobs that a lower main would kill. Thx for understanding my point of view

What competition do you have on Morrigan? Arnt you the only clan even capable of taking bosses? Rhiannon's fastest Aggragoth time is 59minutes by EternalSin, closest to that is around 1hr 30min I think, but we're not ready for Aggragoth because you can kill it quicker? Get your head out your clans arse and understand that not all worlds have 1 Clan with all the top level players. Theirs no doubt that Avalon is a top clan and congratulations on all of your achievements, but I'm bored of hearing all of your boasting on forums.

For me, I'm not sure how the target lock will work out. I'm hoping for the best, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Also, no we don't have many problems with ksing on Rhiannon.

Other worlds train and level just as any world look at LB
Other worlds have higher/same lvl warriors/heals /dps(not accurate all restat )
Now not all worlds play the same or like same style , look at your world top lvl players and compare to a worlds with 2or3 compiting clans
Not like you guys so pro other world whole update behind
All top eggs in one nest .... Not that I dont like that ,if thats your style and your way of player awesome not all like super clans or agree on same clan rules or gear ...

Any world can kill him under 15 mins if all came to kill him
But its competion so other clan wont help
Hope cleared up so info ....

On a sde note, wouldn't it suck to be in a world with one ridiculously large clan? Oh wait, my world has that.
*he says tongue in cheek

Only thing guaranteed when target lock is implemented is there will be a new breed of complainers. Instead of complaining about kill stealing, they will complain about premature target locking (like a ranger kiting lava lord til the rest arrive).

I thought I read somewhere that the target lock would come into play after a group had inflicted a certain percent of damage and until that number the lock would be up for grabs. If that is the case it would take more than kiting by a single player to get the lock, no?

admin has posted when target lock was first announced weeks ago that first hit claims the mob

I am so entertained by all the crybabies' remarks...

Seems to me you're the one crying now...

DPS rewards have always only benefited one class... rouges.
You would be hard pressed to find a druid not in favor of some kind of target lock.
It also is going to help low level players keep their bosses from being stolen.

Will it be perfect... I doubt it.
But at least it will provide more balance in to game.

So all you Rouges out there... start your crying now!!!

EXAMPLE 1 : Shadowkrar camp at falgren spot : Deadroot spawns, Shadow fukking lock it, i turn on my second ipad, yes my rogue s007 happened to be there, and wtf falgren just spawns just right next to him and succeed to lock it too... i called my clansmates, they run fast and yes they arrive in time... We locked both fal and deadroot... I received billions of insults and group resquests.... But we prevail... And yes ! we just get all the drop for us ! Surrounding us a mob of 60 noobs, campers, crybabies and their mama writting for them on their devices because they see them crying at home are all shouting : LOCKERS ! BERSERKERS ARE GREEDY FRIKKING LOCKERS !

Sounds bad, untill you realize you could do the same thing now. And even easier. You don't even have to lock them now, you can just take a lower clan's kills instead. Catch my drift?
