OMG I can steal mobs and have mine stolen from me.. WTF?!

i think the new claim system is really fun, we tested it in a stronghold and it was some of the best times ive had in this game.

I thought this was regulated to the bugs section?

Also, i was in the party that "stole" your mob, in fact, i was in the cut-scene and when it was finished your mob was in red to me, so i don't know how did you losed your mob, peraphs it was in orange, or peraphs you've had more than one mob on you.

More important actually is that bastion are a Dynamis-like, have to bring 2 party to be safe.

Idk how it happened either. But I was by myself and I had started fighting that mob before you guys were even there that time. Then some of your AOE attacks hit it or something and it ran after u guys, then someone ran away and I lost my mob.. I had only engaged one mob, that one, all by it's self.
I'm not about to spend all kinds of time chasing mobs other people pull away from me. This is not a good game mechanic.
At least make sure hate stays with the guy who pulled it.

Have fun tanking Great buffalo when he rages on you, if some jerk decides to steal hate...

If you're tanking an NM, and some random guy can waltz up and pull hate off of you, you're Doing It Wrong.

Easy. Not trying to bust your balls, Solace.

I'm just wondering if you knew they recognized this as a bug, so you don't have to worry about them going forward with that game mechanic (make sure for yourself though). People shouldn't have to stress over something like this.

If you already know that... then that's great. I won't poke into your business.

The situation you are talking about will be exceedingly rare. I wouldn't be concerned about it in the slightest until there's some actual evidence that it's a problem.

Camping NM's is the least of this game's issues right now...

Wow, I know exactly what the OP is talking about and for some reason people are struggling to comprehend what he's saying.

Fight a mob -> Claim is yours
Guy 2 walks up and uses taunt -> Runs off
Mob follows Guy 2 -> Mob returns to territory (ALL CLAIM OFF NO ENMITY. SLATE CLEANED)
Guy 2 -> Some action against mob ASAP
Guy 2 -> complete 100% claim over mob.

We had exactly this happen yesterday when grinding in a Beastman stronghold. And the solution is simple: when the mob runs off after the other dude, you follow it and kill it instead of sitting there with a thumb up your ass.

He doesn't get a chance to claim the mob unless you're basically not doing your job.

Let me know the first time this actually happens, in a meaningful way with some NM that doesn't re-pop every 4 minutes, and I'll get concerned about it. Otherwise, can't join you in QQ'ing in my beer over this non-problem.

Wtf is "not doing my job" then? In fact, what's this new fad in this broken game about people "not doing their job" whenever a legitimate problem arises? Doesn't affect you? Great, but it affects other people.

Can you handle it? Fine. Some can't. Following something around doesn't do crap when it decides to walk back to it's area and some tard comes and insta-claims it when you probably don't have an insta claim yourself.

Seriously dude, cut the crap. We're not all the high and mighty Rank50s who somehow managed to stick with this "game" long enough to see the number. You're not an expert, not even a dev. When they say it's a nonproblem, then it's a non-F******ing-problem. But coming from you doesn't mean crap and just makes me wonder why you're bothering to post on something meant for the devs acting like you know 100% how it's supposed to work.
