"Rush" Mara KQ.
 

I have failed this 3 times in a row because everyone "rushes".

This results in monsters being left around so if others are left behind there dead.

And since no cleric is around they can't be rev'd either.

So by the time we get to fakes there's like 10 people left.



Anyone else failed cause of this?

Can't say I have xD (luckily) The one I failed was bcause we had like NO Tanks and like half te people disappeared after 15 seconds in o_O;;

I hate rushing D:

It gets everyone killed and by the time you reach the middle bosses, you have an army of mobs behind you which will start attacking if you move to close.

Doesn't really work unless absolutely everyone sticks extremely close to the tank.

I was the only reviver in a quest and I was left behind with a level 17 mage. I died and so did the mage. I had to leave the mage to get back with the group. So I died once more before I got to the group. Needless to say, we failed. But because I was the only reviver I was blamed for it all.

funny how your KQ party treat you that way, most of the KQ party i had treated clerics like gold, they try their best to keep us alive most of the time.

While I understand where you're coming from, it's not ENTIRELY the tanker/rusher's fault that they are placing blame on you. I've tried rushing and not slowing down and I've lost anywhere from 0-4 people doing this. I've also tried slowing down while rushing and helping the clerics/mages/archers who were dying. I've lost at least ONE person every time I do this, not including me dying sometimes. Know why? Everyone stops and starts killing while everything is still whacking me and there is no cleric healing me. When I stop and try to help, they're supposed to CONTINUE running with the people ahead, not stop totally and kill everything in sight.

Bottom line, it's not entirely the fault of the rusher that people are being left behind. If people would stay together and not randomly stop and kill monsters, you'd have no one left behind. There might be a few lost of lives, but at least everyone is still in the KQ.

Actually, in all of the Mara KQ's I've been in, I never failed once due to "rushing". Reason? Well, it's called rushing, so of course you're supposed to rush with the people, not lag behind and kill monsters that are in the way.

To be honest, I never see a point in complaining about rushing. If you can't rush to finish the quest fast enough, it's not anyone's fault but your own. I'm always able to keep up with the rushers, so I can't see why others aren't able to. That being said, it's almost never the rusher's right to complain about the people they have left behind(There ARE exceptions, believe it or not!).

I'm pretty sure other people have better things to do than sit around killing monsters that are in the way. However, if the rusher sucks and doesn't know what tanking even means(by this, I mean just run straight through, not giving a damn about others he/she leaves behind), I don't see why people would try to keep up with him/her. All that person is doing is attracting mobs and leaving them behind, causing them to turn to other KQ members, which doesn't help people.

A good rusher should be tending to every member that's passing through, stopping sometimes to take the mobs onto him/herself. As long as one has a cleric or few, that person can become a good rusher if he/she knows what the hell to actually do.

Point is, if people are rushing, either keep up with them closely or do as you will. They should also know what they're doing, and not just be a crackhead that goes off trying to imitate superman. There's no point in whining about it(both parties, not just the rushers or the people behind) if you can't keep up or go too far, as either would only slow down or cause the KQ to fail.

Anyhow why would you need to rush? The quest can be finished with 5 to 10 minutes spare even with 2 or 3 luring of fake maras or malones.

Time is a very important thing. KQs are set to every two hours. You can't get that much done in measly 120 minutes. But, get this. KQs have a time limit of 50 minutes, at least, for King Slime or Mara. I can't include Gold Hill or higher ones as I never keep track of that, nor am I high enough for others. If you take 40 minutes to finish one KQ, that's 80 minutes left to do whatever you'd like to do out of KQ. Also, at some parts of the day, KQs become less occupied, so people are able to rush into a second KQ before they have to wait for the next set.

Rush comes into play here. If people are able to rush straight through and only bother with the fakes/reals, you're pretty much guaranteed to finish in 20~30 minutes. I'd like to say 40, but many people are morons and either die a lot or just don't contribute whatsoever, causing most KQs to slow down, rather than speed up.

After finishing that KQ in 20-30 minutes, you might be able to get into another, since :12 + 30 = :42, while the last Mara KQ ends participation period at :46.

If one does not want to rush, he/she gets more time to do other stuff after the KQ. Rushing basically helps you save time, which is usually the point of rush in many cases. If people don't want to save some time on their hands for other activities, well, they'll have to endure the consequences of rushing if some moron wants to go for it.

Ugh I hate that. Alot of people get left behind that way.

Not to tanks.. just because YOU can run and survive, it doesn't mean everyone else can.

I hate that...as a mage it's a killer...

In KQs I try to rush and rambo with my fighter, drawing mobs away from everyone behind me with mock and kick. If anyone dies, it's my fault for not holding the aggro. A tank is responsible for protecting the group, and if he fails that it's no ones fault but his own. I remember rushing the KQ, mocking and kicking everything I could, the mobs would follow pretty far, but the moment people started taking hits, I just had to stop, mock, and let the group kill everything. Although the key part of the rush is to get there ASAP, it's best not to be careless as the tank leading, as you've completely jeopardized the point of everything. As Loveless said, the number of people you're left with count too. Losing one person during the rush could lead to a chain of misfortunate accidents, and your KQ may not recover from it. Whether you save yourself 10 minutes or not, successfully finishing the KQ is your real priority. It's an MMO, take it easy, take it slow, you're meant to be relaxing.

Atleast you try to keep aggro.. I hate it when people do that because eventually the monsters run back and if you're far behind the person who was pulling them, you basically get a reversed train x.X

Rushing ain't all that great. Sometimes, I only get a lucky/blessed elrue at the end

It's scary for the cleric who's supporting you. D: - Counts number of heals I do and prepares to die - Haha jkjk~

Well, I never really rushed through many kingdom quests (except when Dynamics is in my party >_>) and when people do rush, I don't really care. Sometimes I rush forward with them, but sometimes I just lag behind with the slow people. I haven't actually failed this kingdom quest by rushing before. I may have failed once or twice in Closed Beta from this, but back then almost everyone was a bit noobish so we failed fairly easily.

If I lag behind with the slow people, I usually tell them to just ignore them, and let them see me running away from them (meaning no more heals for them) and they naturally follow anyway.
