Can someone please explain to me why Target Lock mechanism was implemented. Why was it changed from being whoever did the most dmg?
I wish it was changed back, i liked the tension and the epic fight for a boss!
Re: Target Lock?
#2The nuts and bolts of it is because a lot of (weaker) clans complained about how they spend an hour getting a boss to 80% and then a strong group would swoop in and finish the boss and take the kill. Thats the major reason why it was implemented. All other reasons are merely side effects.

#5No, in actuality noob clans would try and kill bosses 20+ above their level then whine when an appropriate clan would come and kill it. Dont pull the sympathy appleIm happy it did change,thatd lame for people to just come and steal kill.Your just mad u cant bully anymore

#7Not really. If a group takes a long time to bring a boss down by 20%, most likely by idol zerging it too, they have no business taking on the boss.

#8Well it is a game, and if they want to do it they can. Its just plain rude when you are ksed (or whatever you wanna call it) off of a boss that's not even in your league. Its more of an achievement, not that they don't deserve it. If they can kill, no matter how they do it, then they deserve it.

Target lock was put in to prevent both scenarios - from high levels taking a kill from a low level group who has been working on a boss for hours, and for low level groups not to bite off more than they can chew. It's a done deal, and we can all just abide by whoever gets the lock, gets the boss' loot.

#10Rage was put in at the same time to stop high levels from whining about low levels taking forever who shouldnt try the boss.
If the low levels don't have a reasonable case for it then the problem solves itself in 20 min or so.
There are event bosses and such that don't rage but then again it's not like there is as much point to try and force it from people.
