Force LnS

Humerox · #1 07-07-2015, 04:09 AM

It's pretty obvious, except to a few petty individuals, that if force LnS isn't called the timer for it ends after an hour.

Force LnS allows a guild to pick up and go do something else immediately. The guild can come back and contest the zone ONE hour afterward. If a guild declines to call LnS that doesn't mean 30 people are able to stand around three hours later and deny individual LnS's and grief individual players. Those people are allowed to LnS after an hour without calling force LnS.

It's very amusing to me to see the same guild that decried these ignorant tactics in the past are now employing them.

<Empire> leadership needs to take the high road. Your guild is devolving very quickly into being what you supposedly hated.

i had two different empire players cry LnS when i attacked them today, who both then looted came back in zone and attacked me minutes after. obviously they're goog players, which is why they pulled their plugs shortly after.

It's laughable, yeah? The entire concept of LnS is that a player is declaring that they are recovering a corpse lost to PvP, they will be looting that corpse, they will not engage in PvP in that zone while doing so, and they will be leaving that zone for at least an hour.

Killing nakeds shouldn't even be allowed, tbh.

For those that need to be reminded of the rules:

Quote:

A player is 'Looting and Scooting' (LnSing) when he has died to an opponent and opts to call Loot and Scoot. You must make your intentions clear that you are loot and scooting by communicating with the other people in the zone(s) you move through, as well as with the person who killed you, or your LnS claim will not be valid, and you can be killed. You may call Loot and Scoot in any zone after respawning from death so long as you head straight for your corpse. If you need to move across multiple zones in order to Loot and Scoot, you must call LnS as you move through each zone. If a new player enters the zone, you must call Loot and Scoot so they are aware of your intentions. You may not attack or be attacked while Loot and Scooting. After retrieving your corpse, you are allowed a short amount of time to med enough mana to safely get out of the zone (ie, enough for a couple casts of invis, FD, or a port spell), memorize those spells, and then must leave the zone immediately for 1 hour. This timer will start after the last person has exited the zone. If multiple players died in PvP and all choose to LnS, they may help each other do so (IE, res each other, drag corpses, port, etc) unless they have already opted out of LnS by fighting after death. After you have left the zone, you are considered to have finished Loot and Scooting, and may again be attacked.

If you are killed and opt to fight instead of calling Loot and Scoot, you forfeit any later opportunities to invoke LnS. If you log out you may return in 1 hour and call Loot and Scoot.

If i gave a shit enough id go fetch some posts when these guys were crying about getting their xp groups fucked by Nihilum. Not that i think its an uber dick move, theyre going for that tactical advantage of slowing down TMO's progress but framing that as almost the incarnation of pure evil and then doing the same thing is funny to me.
