[dev1026] Claming system is broken.

The OP is right about the claiming system being glitched. I've seen people wipe to NMs and it was still claimed even when the mob name was in yellow and they could aggro me.

I know this very well because i remember it from playonline when they update it.

Not all RMT bot. But this system doesnt work by Hate, I've said that, its proven. So I dont know what you are trying to say.

Except using provoke or taunt on an unclaimed mob generates 0 enmity.

I agree, this is an issue I've been encountering quite frequently as well. Very often I watch three of my arrows hit from Multishot (since the initial attack never misses unless you are aggroed), only to have the claim go to someone else. Although it amy not be a terrible issue now with low server pops, etc. I can see this becoming an issue in the future and if any endgame exists outside of instanced content, this issue will cause enormous amounts of drama within the community. Please address this issue ASAP.

Go find a Peiste. Use Provoke on it. See what it does immediately after.

It will come after you as if you had engaged it but if anyone else initiates any action it will go after them as they have generated enmity. See how well you do managing hate if you hit it and then provoke it, the results are consistently better.

was talking about FFXI system trying to say that it could be in FFXIV. w/e if it broken it's broken i so far never found a issue with it. maybe they fix it once they redo the battle system.

the funny thing is you hit it and it turns red and attacks you then another group comes up and it goes to purple because the claim changes. we had that happen twice with dodore. would turn red for engage then another group would come up and claim it and it'd go from red to purple.

this needs to be fixed when you sit as a group crafting waiting on weather changes and go to claim a nm pop and someone by signing into their alt sees the weather change comes over and takes a mob already claimed.

It has nothing to do with lag. When mob (every mob) spawns, if you hit it from the moment it spawn until like half a second after it spawn, it will stay yellow, only after will the claim work.

I used to grind at Copperbell mines on doblyns where its super crowded and all doblyns were pretty much camped, and that always happened.

At last, i finally got used to waiting 1 second before i hit it once it spawned. you have to be really fast to make that bug happen

that has nothing to do with the nm's being changed on claim. when we locate the nm's we stop in front of them and buff before going in to engage. i was tank got buffs ran in did emulate then pvovoke 2 then hit the set of mobs with shadowfall. the mobs turned red then attacked me and another group came up hit the mob and it went from red for us to purple showing the claim had been changed although the mobs were still attacking me.
