*Headdesk*
 

I cannot express my intense hatred for the robo KQ in words. Everytime I go in it, it fails D: The last one I was in, we got to the very LAST THIRTY SECONDS.... I ended up using both my hearts, and I also ended up with the entire pack and robo chasing my ass, while the idiot tanks ran the opposite way going HUR HUR HUR.

I'm an archer btw. =| Level 36!

I think it succeeded, but when I inevitably died with no hearts left, nobody ressed me, so I've not a clue. T_T Robo wastes my stones and time. *CRIES*

Aww that sucks, you seem to have extra bad luck with that KQ. T__T" Do you wait till your 2 minutes are up before spawning? I never use it before the 2 minutes are up unless I'm sure I will still be able to save a heart till the end...

Which room did you just try it in?

I didn't wait the 2 minutes on the first one, but I did on the second. x_x It was A, and we went into the front room for the most part and it was fine (except I got mobbed by carnival wolves at the beginning)

The tanks really ticked me off DX I hate people trying to use an archer as a tank for 50+ monsters and a boss T_T__T_T_T

Aw. Did you miss out the other rooms so you went to A? I've only succeeded in A once out of the times I tried it in. B seems to be my lucky room. C is okay, sometimes fail sometimes win, it's average.

But yeah, it sounds like you had lowsy tanks or something. But then again, at the end when everyone runs around, tanks can't come to cos they're usually probably dead or taking down other stuff. I usually just run around. A little trick I do is that - providing I still have a life to spare - is that I purpose die at 10 seconds (if I get chased by a heap of mobs) and then I quickly respawn and run away, and the mobs would still be standing around looking lost by the time the 10 seconds are up. xD Of course, I don't do this if there's someone near by, lol!

I remember once when I was on the run, I had a few boars behind me. After a while of running, I look again to find a bunch of boars, kebings, and archers chasing me. I'd be like "where the heck did they come from?!" but I kept running anyway. Then I saw this guy running in the opposite direction with a bunch of mobs just like me, and I was like "holy shi... at least it's chasing that guy". And when we ran up to each other, that guy fell slowly onto his knees and dropped dead right in front of me! I was like "WTH!!" and ran smack bang into his mobs.

I wish I could be in a KQ for one thing... But... [/selfloathing]

Thats gotta suck. Ever try saying, "Im not your goddamn tank! The retard is!" xD

Hilarious
 

Sorrys. D:

roflrofl yeah, At first a tank had robo and such, and he goes running past me with it, I run opposite, and I look behind me and...they're after me now LOL Oh well xD

I hate it when they fail to establish a runner, or they don't know how to lead the mob and run around like crazy. One of the groups tried to get me to be the runner O.O

Yeah. I love it when there's some good runners in the group though. Makes me happy when I see the tanks go up, AoE taunt and then off they go sprinting in circles.

What sucks is that even my absorption (which absorbs 1.6k damage) didn't help a good runner once. I was running with him to occasionally heal and stuff for a while, and when there's a few mobs suddenly chasing me, he'd stop and taunt them and quickly heals himself as well. Then later on, half of my party was dead, so I had to go and revive. I casted invincible on him and ran off to revive, planning to catch up later. Then in the middle of reviving, I heard him say "LOLOL SO MUCH FOR DAMAGE ABSORPTION!" So apparently my 1.6k damage absorption didn't help! D: Either that, or the invincible just ended when he got hit. >_____<"

They should nerf the mobs if they managed to take more than 1.6k hp out of a tanking fighter. D: The Korean version looks so much more easier! ><"

haha that must be the scariest thing to hear that!

"oh uh our tanker died" MOB RUN WILD!

To me its scary seeing this...
Me: Lithon should be runner! >=D (jk, but he IS a 44 fighter..)
Lithon: well maybe Yos should do it since the mobs love her so much
Person: Yeah good idea, a DPS should do it since they have AOE
Other person: so Yos is gunna be runner?
Me: haha.. yeah sure... tank mage! >=D *scared*

I was so happy when I did it without dying for the first time. Used up lot of pots, though.

Lol A Mage Runner >_> Aoe ... Lololol

It sucks, but really, there's just no way for the tanks to tank in Robo KQ. Very good tanks might help out by using AOE taunt and taking mobs from you, but really, that's just as risky. If they do that, they have to stop and stand a risk of dying. If that happens, the mobs are loose, and the situation is even more dangerous. The general rule is that if you have mobs on you, you run, and that's all there is to it. I can't tell you how many time I've had 20 mobs + Robo on my tail, and I'm not a tank either. But by doing that, I've done my part to help the KQ succeed. And also, the other 19 people aren't just AFKing while others are being chased (at least, not in my experience) - they usually do their part to help with killing whatever mobs they can (the Vivis, hopefully!)

Anyway, it's obviously a lot easier to survive once you level up - and also, it just depends on luck with the quality of people in the KQ you join. (Hint hint, usually best to not join A ;x )

Nah, I think tanks can tank there.. as long as theyre healed lol. I solo'd my first monster in there lol. I didn't have any scrolls, use any potions, stones, or get healed :D dunno how it happened. Then again, it was just an imp lol.

But the imps are nothing compared to the higher mobs - the Vivis especially, since fighters have horrible mdef. Even 4x fighters will have trouble if they have two Vivis are on them and their cleric is dead or rezzing someone else on the other side of the room.

hmm i was in a pretty good KQ the other day (room B) and even though we got d/c TWICE... the higher lvls managed to kill off half the mobs, and only about half are still wandering around chasing people...

so off i go running as a lvl 33... that 5% speed buff can be useful esp against boars... (but u cant escape from range mobs) and i ran half the room not seeing anyone... (not even dead people on the floor which was a good sign)

and i kept running with boars and wat not after me... and starting to see actions near the middle... some people fighting mobs... and about 3 shrooms and a mage dancing 0.o

i was like... eh wat the heck? do they really think its this easy? then something happened... behind me... probably a mob caught up to me.. i died.... then it went after the mage and shrooms and they all died...

lucky we've still got fighters and clerics on the run... so i was revived and i revived them... (its nice to get priorities when it comes to who to revive first at robo keke)

so yeah... i just thought that was not a usual scene to see people dancing while others are being chased.... =/

but i wouldnt flame the mage either as i think he thought all mobs are under control with the fighters, until i ran my chain near (i repeat.. NEAR not INTO keke) them hoping they could help me ease the load off my back...

I AM only a mage.. with low HP and defense.

Basically, the goal of the KQ is to survive 30 minutes - you don't have to kill the boss (Robo), and in actuality, I think he's killed maybe 5% of the time. The map is one large circular room with 4 smaller side rooms. You don't move anywhere, but you wait around while mobs spawn in large groups of increasing difficulty. There's a long break from around 11:00 left to 9:00, then all hell breaks loose. At 7:45 left, there's a huge group of wild boars that charge in, which is pretty much impossible to tank. At that point, everyone runs. People that have more than 1-2 mobs on them (depending on what they can handle for their level/class) runs circles around the room, while anyone who's safe heads to the center. From there, the people in the center work to pull mobs from the runners, while the runners just keep running.

And running.

And running.

Until the 30 minutes is up. XD

With the Robo KQ, even if you have a good team it doesn't help if everyone does their own thing. In A this morning we had 10 out of 15 people being level 40's. We still lost because they were taking each monster 1 on 1 instead of eliminating 1 monster very quickly using combined strength. The hordes that spawned overwhelmed us.

I think it helps if archers and mages do their AOE's. I heard the archers AOE attack has a long cooltime, but when its up, they should definitely take advantage of it.

And people don't exactly attack the mob once its running. They just keep running >_< The ViVis and archers are so annoying.

Heh.. its not that easy. It can be, but it depends on whose in there. First you're in a tiny room with like.. 15 monsters on everyone. Then when running, not ALL monsters are aggro'd by the runner. You have ViVis and archers that get loose and they do ranged attacks. Then theres Robo.

That doesn't work. Even with the speed scroll you only maintain a 2m distance. If you turn they'll gain on you with the speed scroll. Without it, you'll always be caught. There is no outrunning these monsters without paying a hefty price. Lv. 45 or not, you need a cleric to help you when your running...

Its SCARY and BORING as sin. T_T I miss Mara~

Robo is exciting! D:

I love it when I run and turn around to find the bunch of mobs behind me multiply. That "WTH" feeling is so exciting. I also love it when I'm like "OH SHI 20 SECONDS TILL SPAWNING BACK TO TOWN" and a cleric magically appears to revive me.

;_; I'm a damage whore, not a tank whore! So to me its like, OH CRAP. If I die, they won't ress me because I'm not a cleric or tank! :~;

i jsut game out of another failed one... didnt even see robo.... sigh

wat do u do when u were running away from boars and skeleton archers.. and u see a group of fire vivis in front of you.. which u're about to run into??

i panic and died... XD

This is my usual path of running.

Before I die >>

LOLOL That's true. I must admit that sometimes I discriminate against archers and mages. I sometimes don't even ress Alan and go ressing other clerics, LOL! But man, last time I partied with THREE mages. Their health goes down by like 1/3-1/2 in one hit, and I'm like OMGARR~~!! Failed that KQ, of course. Too many damage people and not even tanks.

When I get in a situation like that, I run towards a good spot where clerics can see me when I die. xDD!!!

Yeah, that kq is NOT meant for archers since our damage doesn't matter at all =\

is it a crime to run into the middle? kekeke

Not really, I see archers out damaging a lot, that's why they keep dying since the mobs go to them.

Edit: @Hessah, I guess so. Everyone says not to run to the middle because other people are taking out the other mobs near there.

wat if all teh ppl in the middle are corpse?? HAAHHAH

okies i'll try avoid that even if it cost me my live

Running in the middle isn't great anyway. You will reach the wall, and when you make that sharp turn, you get owned, that's why people run in circles.

I hate when I get cornered and there is another mob coming for me in the direction I'm running T_T

And I also hate how mobs wallhack. D: I was running (very early in game, it was a failing KQ but I ran anyway), and then all these arrows came right at me through the wall! Hacks.
