Perhaps some are being too greedy with some bosses? especially falgren and some others. just that i have seen people call for help for bosses then others turn up and dont invite them... i have not been playing too long but... is this how it usually is on this game?

yeah i agree like sometimes i will ask help with a boss for a quest and i will shout for it and they will totally forget about the person that was asking for help and kill it and keep the items that you need. :evil: :evil:

I believe that players should try not to be too greedy when it comes to bosses, but organizing a chaotic mass of players into an orderly queue is next to impossible, and inevitably there is ALWAYS someone who gets left out on a boss hunt. Here is some advice to help you improve your chances of netting the 'big fish':

1. Be polite and friendly - always. You will have a hard time finding help (if you need it) if you are coming across as a rude or vulgar A-hole.

2. Make friends to help you kill the boss. Druids are essential if you don't want to spend a ton on platinum. See step one to increase your chances of making friends.

3. Don't Shout! If you shout out "so-and-so is up" the sharks will smell blood in the water and you will get muscled out. Camp there if you see the boss, call your friends (see step two) and hope that they get there first, because the bottom line is - whoever can assemble a capable party to kill a boss and get them in position first can take the kill if they want. Worse yet, there is diddly you can do about it. save perhaps quickly assembling a stronger party and trying to 'steal' it (which won't help you on with step 2, btw).

Note: If your char is not within 20 levels of the boss you want to kill (closer is better) and properly equipped, go train abilities, level up, and save gold to get better gear. The bosses are tough (and costly) even for people of equal or higher levels than the bosses, so people are often less inclined to party with ill-equiped or skilled players. Once you get within range, start at step 1.

Hope this helps! Good luck out there!

Godspeed

What we need most if there is a big crowd is to form a Second group if the first group if full! I'm sick of ppl saying "oh we can't group up, in not in the group! It's full!" Yeah I know it's full but it doesn't mean we can form another group? Is there a rule stating that there should only be one group for each boss? Tell me and I'll back off!

Why would we need a second group though? Kinda pointless in my opinion. Unless I'm reading your post wrong?

With another group its easy for missunderstandings and killstealing. It happened yesterday when we killed falgren and some ppl get there after we started and we had a full group. The other guys who arrived made a new group and they got the kill and drops. Is no need of another group if you dont wanna steal the kill so I hope everybody understands this so we dont get this kind of mistakes
