The kill stealing is getting really bad.

[zanzibar]

It\'s not a bug.

Well, let me tell you a story about kill steal and people who are not inviting others in a group.

One day many ppl were camping the famous mercenary and were inviting everybody in the group. I know because i got there when there were 6 ppl already camping it and i was invited as soon as i got there. So was Shalmaneser. The thing is that we thought to let faith decide the one who gets the loot and we were rolling...It didn\'t matter what we got from the merc, we rolled them all. And now comes the good part: the merc drops a Dark Axe and Shalmaneser loots it for himself and runs away.
Please tell me one guy who would invite such a thief in a group from now on.
If somebody is willing to group with that kind of players, i must say i canot do that because i really don\'t like this type of behaviour.

About KS...well, the same person mentioned above came in the arena and while there were 3 free gladiators and me and Ogu were camping one of them he stold them all running from one to the other. When i got my gladiator first that no good arogant dude told me that he reported me for KS. Isn\'t that funny...the tief goes to the poliece and tells that the owner of a car stole the car back from him^^... That\'s pathetic! And there is more... when i told him i made a petition about him (that nobody took care of) he told me that he is reporting me for herasement...

Well sorry Shalmaneser but that is not a healthy behaviour in a comunity.

Mhmm.  I like all the parts you left out.:-)


Oh, and if you want that dark axe - I still have it, as well as a number of other power weapons. :-D

[Keyaz]

your all a bunch of kill stealing gits until proven otherwise, how about you all stop this \'heated discussion\' and actually work out a way to SHARE your prey

I m not interested in the weappon i\'m just pointing out how easy one would loose his honour for a meer weappon that will anyway be wiped.
Oh but i forgot some ppl had no honour even before this...

Oh ffs, just stay out of it and let the babies have their fun... better them arguing and venting their frustration in here then doing it in game and then having to waste the GM\'s time cleaning the whole mess up...

Right.....

In my eyes.. looks like you all have had your share of evil deeds. Just suck it up, say sorry, and continue with your in game lives. Seriously its so funny how you guys keep arguing. People dont just change by getting mad, people most definetly never change.. even over the course of 30 years. Sorry

magic should indeed be held in the same way melee is. eg: there is another player attacking this creature  you must be grouped with them to attack.
becuase at the mo it sounds pretty awaful ( cant get into to game, mac bugs ).

Technically, that\'s the way it is.  The problem is that if you start the spell before the other guy lands a damage-causing hit, then the spell interupts and blocks the other guy\'s attack.  It\'s a bug.

aaah ok. they need to fix that to connection of spell then . big time.

Yeah but these are minor insignificances in which player take it to be annoying and mean just for their own benefit. Seriously, screw everyone who ks\'s other people. Why cant you just take your own monsters and give everyone else a chance.

I had an interesting battle today with Noxide over kill stealing.  Kill \"Blocking\" is probably the better term, since by using arrow you end up blocking the other guy from attacking that monster for some time.


I would start a physical attack against a monster.  When I heard the soundeffect for an arrow spell, I\'d start my own arrow spell.  The end result is that neither of us could attack that monster, so we\'d have to move on to the next one where the same thing might happen.


Order of events:

[creature spawns]
[player 1 starts a physical attack]
[player 2 starts arrow spell]
[player 1 starts arrow spell]
[first arrow spell lands, blocking player 1 from attacking]
[second arrow spell lands, blocking player 2 from attacking]

And since player 1 was blocked first, player 1 will get the first change to attack it again.  Of course, it takes less time just to move on to the next monster.

ENOUGH OF THIS KILL STEAL SLANDER!


I have tested this with my freinds after the inital attack is made you can not cast spells at a monster. What this whole problem is, is a bug that alows a player to attack a monster untill the first spell is completed.

What does this mean? It means there is no such thing as kill stealing going on. Only some realy childish behavior. I myself have just been rudely been accused of kill stealing by a power leveler who wanted the same monster. And you know what I am pissed. I am sick and tired of people complaining and accuseing over something that does not even exist.

What am I going to do abaout it? I am going to ask all honest and deceant players right now to ignore all acusations anybody makes against anybody for kill stealing, and implore that GMs do the same. Perhaps if we ignore these children they will learn that the world DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND THEM.

Then you aren\'t doing it right.
