Get rid of bard AoE kiting, we've had our fun

[Nune]

Isn't your anger because you feel you deserve the mobs they're taking? Hypocritical at minimum. Those merbs are there to be killed for experience and loot, that's the extent any entitled claim could go.

I think Rabies got AIDS from a bard who raped him while he forced to watch another bard rape his wife.

Dude, if you ever tried to kill a Bard who knew what he was doing, you would end up being the one watching the loading screen, not him. Be careful you don't go postal on 1. an innocent 2. a competent.

And 3. chill out.

swarm kiting even more difficult than it was on live. If anything it should be fixed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

AE kiting was deffinetly on live, atleast it worked in kunark up to planes of power.


I remember getting fuckloads of AA points duoing with a bard in this fashion in plane of nightmare and plane of valor.

Outdoor zones don't really have camps. And your entitled to any amount of mobs you can reasonable handle, which in this case is all of them. So don't fault the bard for playing to the fullest.

I will say that low hp kiting certainly locks up mobs for a longer period of time, particularly in OT, since that's where the majority of power leveling goes on; however, the simple fact is they are entitled to as many mobs as they can handle, just the same as you. If you don't like it move on. In other zones like DL, BW, EJ, you never see bard complainers because its almost never PL, its people killing in a reasonable amount of time.

As a bard myself, I can tell you right now, if you played a bard, you would swarm to. Sitting in a group for 2-3 hours and getting maybe 1.5 blues, or a duo/trio for the same amount of time maybe 2.5? With a good partner in BW I can pull about 7-8 blues if not more in that same amount of time. In OT, you can ding twice from 1 pull if your doing it solo. No one's time is more valuable than anyone else's, so I don't get why people would complain about people maximizing their xp gains.

It is absolutely no different if you wanted to camp any camp, but it was already taken. You'd find somewhere else to go. But in this case, you complain. It makes no sense. Its a big pile of jealousy is what it is.

All that being said, when I was aoe'n in OT, I left mobs alone near groups I saw, and I never have a problem with someone snagging mobs out of my train. Never really got too many complaints, although I tended to do it in off hours more often than not.

Kill the rhinos or other mobs that are pesky to bards. Peel off our kites if you want. Be aware if an accident happens, though; mobs comin atcha. OT/EK/NK/WK/SK/DL/LOIO/WW and the like are places for soloers, being outdoor with lots of room to move and few casters. Bards can solo, as anyone in this thread knows. Know this before coming to these places or learn it while you're there, and communicate with the bards. Anytime I've talked to someone privately and rationally I leave mobs up around where they're killing. When they call me out in ooc, no sympathy- grow up and stop whining. I don't go out and try to disrupt people. I'm just out doing my thing, as you are.

[Phats]

So while bards are being taken care of how about TMO? They are abusing server mechanics too

[Agatha]

You should just root them and laugh when all the mobs kill them.

Edit: lol thought i was on red forums, ya that sucks. I don't really see how blue server is all that appealing when shit like this goes down and you have no recourse to fix the situation.

Hahaha you don't see how blue is appealing with one minor fault as is compared to the shithole that is red. Right, you have it soooooo much better, I'm sure your sixty person pop can attest to that.
