so I am being punished for lvling. things now cost me money that didnt when I was a noob

If OTM really wanted to screw with people and farming... they could make it to where you have to have the quest that is needed for a dragon disc to kill said mob

The biggest issue is the people killing for these drops are not the ones that need them , basically it's just a mid level selling instead of a high level selling lol. Target lock for all it's good intentions is a failure IMO . It certainly does not limit griefing it just changed it that's all.


ABOLISH TARGET LOCK

Your not being punished for leveling your being encouraged to kill other things.
I am sure you could get a DD if you wanted one. Now maybe a few lower levels can too.

I think this thread proves target lock is helping to a certain extent. The op is mad he can not farm and sell drops as easily because lower levels are taking the lock from him. Some of the lower levels may sell them others may need them. But it serves the point to reducing the market domination of high level players.

Great job OTM.

Target lock is fine, the issue is and always has been the amount of gold dropped. If a sv boss didnt drop twice the gold of an ow boss (even cat bosses drop more sometimes) high levels would not farm sv as much. Target lock boils it down to luck now, if ur high level and lucky enough to get 45 seconds of free time to attack ull get lock and the gold. If not then your screwed because that boss will never ever spawn again and let u make a quick grand and whatever u price gouge the drops for. Gonna let ppl in on a secret, ull gain more gold and quicker farming wyverns, pirates or trolls than you ever cold off farming sv.

ABOLISH TARGET LOCK

I agree with this target lock will just slow high lvls down. But with the immense wealth some people have they will either have alts or buy/lvl accounts to an optimal level and then proceed to pimp them with impossible gear. Take a lvl60 with full met gear grandfathered in for example and all the best lux/items. Ppl will have zero chance again.

A few of these dedicated campers and we can kiss goodbye to the mid levels harvesting anything profitable from bosses on a regular basis. Give it a few weeks to months it will be back to nearly as bad as before.

Also you can be ksd with the current system on mob of same lvl quite easily. Players with full lux gear can one hit lock and run around insta locking all mob in the area. Don't have awesome weapons, offhand and damage gear? Sorry u have no chance when someone wants to mess with you. The 15% or so makes it easier to ks in this case, not harder.

Overall not a bad idea but so far I haven't seen much improvement as a whole.

IMO, target lock isn't going to solve quest gear bottlenecks at large. Suffering through such is a right of passage in this game. As long as there is a market people will find a way to farm it. Can't do it on a higher level character? Start alt farming and mail the proceeds to your main...postage is cheap. I really don't care if this feature is in the game or not because in the grand scheme of things I think it makes no difference. The only difference is in how one approaches farming. If people want to farm the pants off of the guy I think they should. Not everyone out there that is higher level is some evil person trying to make your life miserable. Why would I want to deny the 'only' people who have been helpful to me, gave me advice, grouped me, etc. access to any boss just because they are higher level? Call me crazy...

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!

You 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.

I agree...this is a travesty!

thank you!

This is so comical. The ones that complain all the time about OTM changing things because a small group complain are the very ones complaining themselves now. I love when we come full circle
