[dev1026] Changes to Claiming and Engaging Enemies

[Perrin_Aybarra]

I don't know, maybe I'm just irritated by lazy people.

Does it affect me directly? Probably not. But I'm one of those people that Yoshi P has quoted as thinking "If you're not going to actually play the game, why play at all?"

What humors me the most though is that before this change was announced, there was not a single thread about people asking for a new claim system. People asked to be able to claim multiple targets at once, or at the very least get equal SP from AOE'd targets. People asked for the ability to help others when they see them losing against a mob. People asked for alliances.

Nobody asked for a better PL system. Nobody asked for a completely new claim system. Aside from those things I just mentioned above, nobody had any other grudges with our current system, or at least they weren't vocal about it.

SE is just being lazy, and they're even encouraging laziness it seems. All this change did so far is create arguments, which could have been completely avoided had they not been lazy and instead, perfected the current claim system.

Well I agree with that as well concerning the "If you're not going to actually play the game, why play at all?" and this is why I never use cheats in games. But I don't judge people who do so and still feel like they accomplished something when they lazied their way up.

But it's not my place to judge those people or dictate my way to play the game.

The only thing though, maybe I didn't voice my opinion on the current claiming system but I hate it. I hate that sometimes you aggro another mob and you can't aoe because you'll cut the exp. Plus they said that for future content it would be best with this new claiming system.

this type of claiming system is pretty much like WoW (sorry for the reference) and there is no issue with PL really.

With additions to leves system, redistribution of mobs for better grind parties, addition of multiple quests (remember they said they want to add quest based leveling no?) behest and dungeons. All these leveling options makes it so that someone might not feel the need to be PL'ed.

Edit: I agree with Sephrick on what he said above. Really a bad player is a bad player regardless if he spent hours on end grinding exp on raptor parties. A good player will learn the class even if they get to 50 in a matter of days. It's not like grind parties are hard anyways, you don't even need someone to heal or tank, it's a zerg fest... so lol@ learning your class while partying.
