Hello there. This thought came to me when I read through the list of new updates. Please note, I am not currently part of any HNM so probably have no idea what I'm blithering about - but at least humor me.

Quote:
Before the update, a player who fought a monster without using auto-attack would retain his claim on the monster, even if he was KO’d in battle due to poison, etc. This has been fixed so that when the player dies, the monster becomes unclaimed.


Before the update, a monster that was claimed by a party or alliance would occasionally go unclaimed when magic or a weapon skill was used on the monster as the monster moved out of range before the magic or weapon skill could strike
.

Since SE is fixing(we'll see how it works when we get back online tommorrow) the WS glitch, I figure we can at least work together on the top portion. Here's what I mean:

Normally when camping an HNM, an LS claims and it's a general rule not to try to steal claim(at least for us NA players) via the 'fixed' ws glitch or MPK, correct?

With the new patch, if all members of the Alliance are MPKed then the claim is lost. So, keeping in mind that general no stealing "rule", I propose that those HNM LS present act as guards to keep the trained mobs off of the LS fighting the HNM.

Yes I realize that this could be an idea that will not work(cooperation problems, personal and LS rivalry, etc.), but it's worth suggesting at least. It keeps good will between the HNM LS', and helps keep claims from Gilsellers.

As I said before, I don't really know if this could happen but...well, it's worth a try anyway.

You have my thoughts.

I admire the courage, but I wouldn't count on it.

being the cynical SOB I am, I can see this leading to MORE MPK than anything else.

Can't steal it from you? Now they'll just kill you for it.

With the onther new twist, even if you manage to get people back, you're going to die again and then lose attack and magic abilities.

HNM LS' already talk about helping out if gilsellers mpk another. I remember camping hnms and we were talking about killing mobs GS mpk with if another LS wins claim.

Its one thing if the agro happens /because/ of the ls that won pull. In that case they have to deal with it themselves. Its a whole nother case if the ls was mpked unfairly.
