[dev1026] Claming system is broken.

[Rau]

After camping various of the NMs, I've noticed that even if i get the first hit on a mob, or even a provoke, or even both, another party can still "outclaim" me.

This never really bothered me before, except maybe when doing Dodore, where I just thought "Oh. They got lucky. Oh well." But when this happened more than 5 times in a row when camping Kokooroon, it really started to get to me.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Is it a server latency issue? Granted this isn't a big issue now, but when gear there's gear that's actually worth getting, it'll be a huge pain to deal with.

Nope. They were all US/EU.

This is a moot issue ever since the west finally moved on from dial-up.

Internet speed has nothing to do with latency.

Bandwidth does however, and dial-up is generally on the low end of bandwidth allocation.

And you weren't fighting anything else at the time? Remember you can only claim 1 group of mobs at once.

[Dubont]

I've had many instances where there has been a "double claim" and 2 parties claimed the mob at once...essentially, whoever hits the mob first after the claim gets the mob...in terms of "I did it before them, but they got it!" it's usually latency, lag or just server distance in general.

Then it's like FFXI system who every does a attack that does more hate they get it over you. So let's say i do provoke but you do a better version of provoke you get it over me.

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