  • Too many KSers

    I liked it back when they had more timed instanced mobbing maps with good spawn like that one skelegon/skelosaurus, made specifically for groups who just wanted to grind it out. We had so much more control over the KS situation back then. I'd like to see that sort of thing come back for those of us who just want to grind in peace with guildies or solo. Not so sure how well that would work now, though.

  • Too many KSers

    Literally would go to an empty channel and not more than 2 minutes later I'll have someone in there KSing me. I've offered sharing the map, but they just KS instead. I've offered to party with them even and they ignore it and just keep KSing. Idk if it's the new players who don't know how to be polite, or the old ones being butt munchers but something has to change.
    You're in reboot, I'm guessing. This happens to me there a lot as well. Just another thing to have to deal with on top of the disgusting lag (but that's an issue for many other threads already open right now) and yeah, people seem to turn in to unresponsive KS robots quite often. The really bad ones get a thrill from you asking them to leave and usually proceed to provoke you in to a bickering match or fight to satiate their own sadistic attention needs.

    Also, I believe it is happening more right now because it is an extremely busy time in reboot server. I'd wager some of those people people just grow impatient after cycling through all channels to no avail and resort to stomping through some chosen player's already taken maps. It gets very bad during 2X exp...and it always seems like the one I see cycling through 2-4 times lands in MY channel to park and tag/KS all of MY mobs. I know the frustration, buddy.

    Far as it goes with Nexon doing something about it? I think successfully policing KSers would be a very tricky business because there are just way too many of them, and each one has its own individual case with so many variables involved to make a solid decision on who is really at fault. There could be ways of doing it efficiently and accurately, but unfortunately, I believe it's just too impractical for a company such as Nexon to invest the time/energy/funding to the grand task of pursuing every case of KSing. I think if they could do more about it, they already would have after 10+ years of KSing being so commonplace.

    Final thought: I believe KSing is something we just have to deal with. Personally, the best thing I've found to counteract the problem is join a guild to party level with. But even with that in place, KSers gonna KS.

  • what's up with the clock?

    Those expire after just 10 minutes, so you should open them right away.
    For some reason, I forget about them half the time and they vanish from inventory forever! 10 minutes is just too short. Why do they even have that timer on them, anyways?

  • Nexon STOP!

    But, you see, this is how they "make up" for it being bad in the first place. Ironic that the make-up gift for lag/maintenance time with special extended 2x events + 2x tickets causes worse problems...lol!
    NEXON - Pl0x put in 2nd reboot server, or something, anything...every one wants to enjoy the game, but the lag is so beyond ridiculous it makes it pretty difficult to do so!
