View Full Version : Kill stealing out of control
I never posted much on forums, to me its just bickering and i would rather not participate in it. I started on green at launch day and the kill stealing is insane, even if i send my pet on something and lifetap it a couple times and its below 70% a group will roll by and kill it.
Its a new server, and people want to level i get it !
But even if i am like hey ! They say fuck off, fuck you, eat shit, eat my ass or Lol like its not even a big deal.
I have tried going to butcherblock even as a gnome since steamfont was a warzone and even in the middle of nowhere a dwarf will appear out of nowhere and steal skeletons goblins or whatever, i cant imagine how burdened the staff is with these issues but can we talk about some type of play nice policy once someone is fighting a monster?

You need to learn the culture of the forum/server before coming in and complaining about every little thing.
The petition forum is monitored and situations dealt with if there's actionable information/evidence.

The worse I saw in Qeynos was people camping the individual decaying skeleton or gnoll spawns. Parking on the spawn point, then another person notices it's a skeleton spawn and they park there and wait too, trying to take it from the person who was there first. Saw that shit and just went into the sewers where there were plenty of open mobs.

GMs have been making pretty good efforts. Launch day we were camping Forager Grikk and another group kept trying to steal him, coming in and squatting on the spawn, /laughing etc. GM showed up within 15 min of the petition and ran them off.
If someone is doing something against the rules and refuses to stop, get proof and petition them! If they're being dicks openly in chat the evidence is already there. But you should probably just accept that if someone decides to one off dps race you on a decaying skel, it's just part of the game at this stage.

This is why green should’ve had no camp rules or GM intervention with this aspect of the game.
It was inevitably going to be very crowded, and it is best if people are allowed to work things out between each other. Trying to involve GMs over every Kill stollen Skeleton is going to overwhelm and exhaust them, they’re not going to have the time to check out all of these cases especially once more people are in the zones without accelerated respawn rates.

The staff do prefer if players work out issues between themselves but they will step in if players are unable to do so.
I mean its in the PnP policy...
We greatly encourage players to find their own resolution to spawn disputes, as the solution provided by the staff will at best be a win-lose situation, and possibly a lose-lose situation. No two decisions, even at the same 'camp', are guaranteed to be the same, as we will take into account multiple factors in making a determination on a 'camp'.
Please do your best to use courtesy and common sense when interacting with other players in spawn disputes.
Its almost always going to be better for both parties to come to a reasonable resolutions among themselves In camp disputes. How Staff applies the rules is very literal compared to the loose player perception of what a "camp" is.
As for Kill steals, report them to Staff (/petition). We are doing our best to issue warnings or more if appropriate and reminding players there is a PnP on this server. Staff is aware many players are from Blue, but we also have to take into account there is a lot of players that may be new to P99 or have not played in a very long time and are either new or back for Green. Jumping in and playing during launch is an exciting time for players and we realize not everyone has their *ahem* Lawyer license from Blue. So to the Blue players out there keep that in mind and try and help the new players not berate them over every little issue
Lastly...working or at the very least cooperating in a civil enough manner with other players to resolve issues before staff need get involved is part of taking part in the community and a great way to improve the community. Reporting things for staff to look into is also taking part in the community as well as helps staff function and do what we are here to do, you are our eyes and ears - Don't assume we are omnipotent super beings

You /petition. Obvously an AFK killer is not going to respond to you. But still the only people who have authority to take action against players is Staff. If anyone as a player combat suspected rules violations with clear and obvious rules violations then your going to have a bad time....mmmmm-kaaaay

Some guy did ask me to stop ks'ing his group at the Nek pyramid but I landed the DD first fair and square. I was going to tell him that his group doesn't get to claim a whole area in a newbie zone with 160 people in it, and that if they want a spawn point they need to sit on top of it, but I could farm up five mobs in the time it took to have that argument so I left them to their territorial claims.

I have made three characters. One 5 one 9 and one 3ish? So all low level but I have been surprised to death at how much people do respect your camp/pull so far.
only a few dicks encountered.
Not sure if this is because low level still but compared to other games and all the other EQ Classic TLPs it has been much better. Surprised me. I prolly should say this because now I will log in and find 10 dickheads..

I haven't been poopsocking, but I was on quite a bit this weekend. I haven't seen any kill-stealing, per se. Races to mobs? Yeah. Hitting at virtually the same time? Yeah. Attacking when a nuke comes in? Yeah. All of which probably have to do with a bit of lag and casting time, etc. Everyone seems relatively polite, camping wise. I am sure there is kill stealing going on, but my experience in Q, QH, BB, and EP has been virtually free of it.
Now, EQ being EQ, there are still some arrogant mofos out there who just can't seem to keep there mouths shut, ooc wise. I thought 20 years would have matured some of these a-holes, but alas, no. 99% of the people out there are great and having fun. 1% still think its their job to make everyone else's lives miserable.
Speaking of decaying skeleton i logged in this morning and went to gfay, was fighting a decaying skeleton and it was at about 60% and someone ran by and 1 shotted it, i said cmon and he told me to kill myself.
This is an online game, its meant to be fun and a happy place.

To use it as your sig just copy the below, and remove the two "\":
[IMG\]https://i.imgur.com/lVwUMFY.gif[/IMG\]
Also I tried making a half-size one, since the current one is kind of big for a signature, but Gimp screwed up the colors when I did :(
https://i.imgur.com/9qm513q.gif
So what I'd suggest is that you use whatever program you made the video in to shrink it down to signature size, then upload it to IMGUR, copy the URL, and just change the "mp4" part to "gif".
Normally that works, but if it doesn't (it didn't with your original video, I think because it was so long) you can auto-convert it to a gif by going to https://imgur.com/vidgif and giving it the URL of it.
Hope we see that video in your sig in the future!

I got 3 different rulings on one single camp.
It was 2 under-leveled orcs in Misty Thicket that spawn right next to each other and drop belts that give you exp 10+
Day 1- Someone is camping both and gives the camp to a friends and I. 15 mins later a new duo comes in and plops on our spot. Guide A rules its FTE and uses the phrasing that we need to hit the mobs first. He says we should go to a dungeon if we want to claim 2 mobs like these. I always respect what the Guide's/GMs say and follow it.
Day 2- There's a duo there. I start killing 1 orc just like Guide A ruled the previous night. They petition. Guide B comes in and says we each take 1 spawn point. It's a different ruling but fine.
Later Day 2- Same situation as before. I start killing 1 orc. Guide B comes in and banishes me from the camp. The situation was the same exact as earlier. Same guide gives a different ruling on the camp and what's a KS. Guide B starts insulting me a bit. Saying I'm like Alleriah who was banned for massive RMT. Says if I'm in petition again he's going to suspend me. Keep in mind I've played since blue classic and I've never ever been so much as warned for anything.
WTF are the rules? Good luck to you people doing competitive stuff on this server longer term. Up to a certain point you really have to roll the dice with this human element that can screw you at any moment if lets say they don't like the way you phrased something.

Wat. FTE is huge. You can't just take mobs that others pull first. That's what FTE is. Let's say you pull a kodiak and slowly bring him to 75% then I nuke him for 51% and let you finish him off. I'd be committing a KS because the other person had FTE.
Either way, FTE or not, I don't really care, I'd really just like something consistent. I got 3 different rulings on the same situation. What a fucking nightmare.

No, seriously I'm asking. Some guy was clearly janking mobs from you. How did petition work out? Should be clear cut right?

The thing that bothered me the most was that someone would be afk sitting in the open on a noobie area "spawn", like a scarab or a skeleton, the mob would be up, they wouldn't be killing it, so I assume they're just a noob getting health/mana back. I attack the mob and then the person stands up "DUDE!" "DON'T STEAL MY ****'n MOBS!" "YOU POS ****"
Lol. It appears the launch of Green coupled with the insane move to get rid of exp quests and keeping exp penalties in place has pissed everyone off.

I have found it pretty easy to get to level 5, travel all over Norrath inviting my officers, gate back to Misty, and get to level 7 in NRo without kill-stealing anyone at all. I just don’t think it’s that hard to refrain from pulling an already-aggroed mob. You may have to go to other zones, or form a group, or wait by a group until they need a replacement, or just watch ooc for 10 min until someone says LFM.
I have to say I was thoroughly surprised by the lack of KSing I've experienced. Although I am mostly playing during off hours currently and late night people are usually way more relaxed.

I got 3 different rulings on one single camp.
It was 2 under-leveled orcs in Misty Thicket that spawn right next to each other and drop belts that give you exp 10+
Day 1- Someone is camping both and gives the camp to a friends and I. 15 mins later a new duo comes in and plops on our spot. Guide A rules its FTE and uses the phrasing that we need to hit the mobs first. He says we should go to a dungeon if we want to claim 2 mobs like these. I always respect what the Guide's/GMs say and follow it.
Day 2- There's a duo there. I start killing 1 orc just like Guide A ruled the previous night. They petition. Guide B comes in and says we each take 1 spawn point. It's a different ruling but fine.
Later Day 2- Same situation as before. I start killing 1 orc. Guide B comes in and banishes me from the camp. The situation was the same exact as earlier. Same guide gives a different ruling on the camp and what's a KS. Guide B starts insulting me a bit. Saying I'm like Alleriah who was banned for massive RMT. Says if I'm in petition again he's going to suspend me. Keep in mind I've played since blue classic and I've never ever been so much as warned for anything.
WTF are the rules? Good luck to you people doing competitive stuff on this server longer term. Up to a certain point you really have to roll the dice with this human element that can screw you at any moment if lets say they don't like the way you phrased something.
Whoa, sounds like that GM should be banned. That's not good behavior. Inspector General?

Give them a break! They are probably being bothered constantly with this petty bullshit and they are doing it for free.
Not saying what happened isn't bullshit, but let's be real here: It is not a coordinated customer service department.

You're not wrong, but people with power lording over those with none makes me punchy. If you want to push people around, have children like a normal person. ;) I make my son do his homework AND brush his teeth.

GMs/Guides need to be giving consistent rulings IMO. If it's truly the same situation and the same Guide, then the ruling should be the same. The ruling should also be consistent with what you would receive from another staff member. It's not fair to players to have different rulings be handed out such that you never know if something one staff member said was okay is something you're going to get in trouble for with a different one.

I can roll with chaos and even confusion (getting two ruling from the same GM), but insulting and making threats is out of line. C'mmon man, smoke some weed and chill out.

Agreed. I try to be very careful with what happens with staff rulings and the spirit in which they want to rule..... but I don’t completely stop playing the camps that I like and want to play. It’s a really bad feeling when you’re trying really hard to follow their direct instructions and you just get in trouble again for doing it. And then it’s even worse when you follow their instructions and then you get attacked on a personal level.
I had comparisons to Alleriah made to me by the second guide. Alleriah was banned for a massive rmt scheme while I’ve never even been warned for an infraction on blue.
I used to talk to Sirken personally when these problems came up and he would get to the bottom of things. Things like that look like they just don’t happen anymore.

Everything of significance is the result of conquest. Dark Men of Odus take claim to all of the vile beasts in your lands and the spoils that come from slaying them.

Some dude reported me last night for killing a skeleton on the newb starting area right outside Queynos city gates. He literally reported me and called me an ass for "taking his spawn". ITS THE FUCKING STARTING AREA - THERE'S A HUNDRED PEOPLE HERE RUNNING AROUND KILLING WHATEVER THEY CAN. So then a GM whispers me and says something like "you cant take a spawn if you're killing other mobs". huh?

Through us, the powers of chaos are harnessed and exploited. Dark times don’t simply emerge. Enlightened beings, guiding intelligences manipulate events to bring about a storm that will deliver power into the hands of an elite group willing to make the hard choices the Antonicans fear to make. Beings may elect their leaders, but Erud has elected us.

The Guide was probably referring to the PNP which is located here (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=325349), Gigas;
Open Outdoor Zones can be anything from Western Wastes, Karanas or West Commons. There are no staff recognized camps for this zone type outside of single spawn points. Examples of single spawn types might be Ocean of Tears Ancient Cyclops, Iceclad Ocean Stormfeather, or Qeynos Hills Hadden. Though, any single spawn point can be claimed, that is the only spawn you can hunt (if being contested). If you are to claim this point you must get aggro/First to Encounter (FTE) within a reasonable amount of time.
