[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.

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.

Maybe their internets where better. lol.

It has nothing to do with hate, nore your ISP speed, its purely lag on their end.

I used to be on a crappy ISP like 1mb lol and I could outclaim so many people on different things because I realised the initial delay.

its kind of similar to how XI has that "cannot insta claim" they put in where you have to wait 1-2 seconds except it doubt its intentional due to: You can claim via missing the mob and the other person full on wacking it or critting it.

I know it has nothing to do with hate because I remember a memoriable moment when I went to claim against a much higher rmt player and I claimed but missed and the rmt wacked a mob and had hate, then got nailed on by the mob until he died XD. fun times.

Its just either bad server lag or a not-properly defined anti claimbot feature like XI's (which failed lolols)

If you want to claim all the time just delay a second (or use spirit dart ! )

[Reika]

They actually have that delay for monsters that 'suddenly appear' during levequests too. Some people dont know it and stat thwaking on it it too fast, damaging it before it will actually turn red, thus causing a loss in SP ; ;

This only happens to me when I use taunt or provoke. Never had this problem when I used normal attacks like light shot, I've also noticed a dropping pattern with Kokooroon. He drops the bow often during a waxing or full moon and drops the scale mail during a waning or new moon not exactly sure on this but I've gotten about 15 or so bows and scale mails doing it this way.
