Solo hogging in Dungeon?

[Lady-Loki]

The Abyss was a nice place to solo until recently. I soloed there lots and when I have a room alone when anyone else enters I let them and generally they take one side and I take the other. I have even had some people ask if they can share the room to which I have said “np, plenty for both of us”. I have really had little to no issues in the Abyss map . . . until recently.

I had my first real bad experience in the Dungeon last night. I emphasize real bad because Spirit & I encountered a bully the other evening but Omie & Lil came to our rescue so that turned out to be a minor disagreement that was quickly settled by Team Whoopass (I know I thanked Lil & Omie in game chat that night, but thanks again Lil & Omie!).

Anyway, it was Spirit, Patches, toolrocket, and myself and we had been working a room for a while when a solo mage slipped in and grabbed up a few mobs. Patches was rounding them up and bringing them to us near the door, so when the solo mage went past us by toolrocket did not realize it was not Patches and singularly hit one of the mobs. Once he realized it was not Patches he apologized immediately but the guy was already on a “Don’t steal mobs” campaign. Spirit tried to explain it was unintentional but he was argumentative. He then proceeded to aoe the mobs Patches had just gathered so of course we all told him to stop stealing the mobs and Spirit asked him politely to please just find a different room as a “common courtesy since we had been there first”. He kept on about us not owning the room and next thing I knew he attacked and killed me. I asked “WTF? WHY DID YOU ATTACK ME?” and his reply was “settled it”. WTH?? I truly had said little to nothing to him at all yet he targeted me to kill! He then went on to kill more of our party before I could warp to the portal and run back. Spirit called out asking if any guildies were in the map but none replied. She did however find a mage from BR (thanks Velix!) who was ever so gracious to join our party and help us fight this donkey behind. It took a while since he had all +9 weapons and armor (as he later told toolrocket in chat - toolrocket complemented him on his resilience and they had some private chat for a while) and was spamming CS potions, but eventually between us and a group of mobs he did die and had to warp to the portal.

Yeah, it’s getting to where the Abyss map is not much fun anymore.

Usually, if I'm soloing, parties are normally at the bigger rooms. I go there to check if there's people there, if they are, I just go away. It's going to be pretty hectic with another party around anyways, so I'd rather go out in the corridors @-@; Most of the time, I get a party invite, and I end up staying xD

But yeah, people are getting quite competitive =/ Not in the 4x battlegrounds yet, but there's endless stories on the higher leveled ones. I guess it might be because of the population? @-@; More people are in the higher leveled ranges now, and since it takes so long to level they stay at that level region for a while, while more people move in. Less places for all.

Really, collisions between parties would still happen less if everyone didn't have too big of an attitude. It's common courtesy that, if a party can handle it, to just leave the room to them. If they're soloing, it doesn't hurt to take some mobs from the room, but it's not nice to take all and leave them with nothing either.

[Lady-Loki]

Yeah, early in the conversation before Spirit asked him to find another room as a common courtesy she had told him we could share the room just don't aoe the mobs Patches had gathered so he proceeded to run gather all but about two and when Spirit asked him to not do that he said something like "you said share and since you gathered mobs so can I". He was a total donkey behind. I know his name and he has been added to my list of those I have absolutely NO respect for.

[Enraya]

That's probably somebody that no one would have respect for @-@;

I really don't understand why people find it so painful or something just to share. You're not going to be there forever, the mobs aren't going to wait till you're done with one mob to spawn, and no one's going to sit in a corner until you're done with a spot. It really just comes down to courtesy, I guess.

When soloing in the 5x battlegrounds I usually stay at the stairs. I run between the 4 of them for spawns. I can't handle more then 2 at a time anyways, so what's the point of going into a room?

[Hyper]

The sometimes happens to me... But in most cases I'm one of those fighters... I never tell people that it's my room though. I just waltz over to the opposite side and start killing whatever appears (but no KSing). If they say anything, I dare them to train me (the Soldiers do like 50 damage) or I paste in a link to the thread where SnakeEyes said spot claiming is against the rules. I don't think parties should get preference just because they can kill more faster. Discrimination! But seriously, I'm not going to leave a place with better exp than Uruga or AEW in AoE just because some party thinks they're more deserving.

And I can kill 10 Karasians in the about 3~4 times the time as a smaller AoE party, so it really is just as efficient, sometimes more efficient when killing in those smaller rooms. 3x the exp as when I party. The only problem is that I can never shroom, so I use quite a few stones. 100% of the drops, too. No fighting when I get T3 scroll recipes.

XD Its annoying

In the big rooms, when there is enough mobs for more than one party, if no one hogs, people get in fights and steal all of the mobs.
I was soloing in one of hte room (in my own little cornor XD ) and was over hearing a argument between two parties. And thats all taht was there was two and there were ALOT of mobs there, but one party kept telling the otehr one to go away and that it wasw there spot.
So people had it were two or more people were pulling once they started to spawn again. O.o its kidna stupid, cant people just share?

x.x and soloiung and stealing all of the mobs is totally annoying. If a archer or mage solo/aoes we are able to do aoe attacks to kill thme faster, though we dont usually get as many as most of hte room. Atleast I know I dont, I jsut do about 3-5 mobs at a time adn I dont mind other partys being there. The spot doesnt belong to me and im not using all of the mobs.

Its more annoying when we are aoeing the whole room, and its one of hte small rooms, and another party comes and steals every single mob and tells us to gtfo. XD


But usually when im soloing people ignore me and dont fight over mobs since Im not trying to take on the whole room. XD 10 is prob the max ill get, and usually on accident. If i get 10 or more i have to kite aoe which is a pain case I ran under someones aoe poison once XD nearly killed me but my own fault.

Ha I was solo in a room, and not by choice, but by pure aggro... the mobs decided that were going to love on me...

now I realized there was another pt in there, and they were waiting patiently...

I watched chat scroll by...

"Yeah he's slowing down spawn rate seriously."

and I knew that I was, but no matter where I went, there was constant aggro...

now this is when I realized that BG is for competetive grinding...

because they did just that...

they needed more exp, and they were gonna fight me for it...

I was truly waiting for my mage duo to get back from restoning.

The mage comes over, and hits me with Nova, and Inferno, almost killing me... but I'm a cleric... I never die :3

Either way it was in that moment that I knew BG meant war.

You can't get to the top, and succeed first if you don't push your way through all the people letting other people go. Basically... everyone is nice and polite, and then they're all going to get where they want to be leisurely... but not the people that want cap now.

BG is exactly that... a battleground.

Sure I got mad at that mage for almost killing me... but then again... all they wanted was more exp, and I was slowing them down... I said my comments to them... and it was over. I'm not mad at them... they were only doing what was in their best interest... and to me... that's perfectly fine. Especially in the BG.

not just Fiesta, but in any mmorpgs that I've played I hate it when people act like they "own" a room/channel/dungeon/what have you, and then get all high and mighty when you try to reason with them.

xD Agreed o:

In the end, battlegrounds are exactly what they're named for. Battlegrounds, with mobs thrown in to keep you competing.
Respect is the one thing that keeps people from straight out yelling out at each other. I don't mind a party in a room, or partying while a soloer is taking some mobs, as long as we can respect each other.
