Posted September 14, 2022 This will happen, just in a roundabout way. Step 1: Devs write how uniques work Step 2: Devs code uniques to work that way everyone knows they need an overhaul, and part of the process will be designing that, so it totally counts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it is not up to me neither you to decide. That's why i suggested to consider a time limit in the guideline to stop people using slaying unique as an excuse to demand people to leave a certain area for a long time. 2 hours ago, Ekcin said: The topic was about better information on uniques I would say this topic is about teaching players how uniques work by asking the rule makers to clarify some of the etiquettes that people might not understand precisely as it intended. Like asking the rule makers to clarify, what kind of actions can slayers do in actual slaying to show other people that there is actual slaying here, so that the people notice they should leave the area. Like what OP said, player like me are clueless about how it work. Make a sound? an emote? a combat posture? type a word? or just keep focus on hitting the unique? ,etc. I know how to claim a unique though, dig a dirt, simple and effective.

Posted September 14, 2022 I do not know a single case where players were urged to leave a local for a longer period of time due to a private slaying. And I am sure that the GM would not tolerate it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A standard time limit is a more tangible system by which if an argument were to arise. Lets make the clueless people not clueless.

Posted September 14, 2022 Btw. just checked that the rumours about someone soloing a dragon, or other unique, are just rumours. Lowest slayer numbers occurred on Melody im May 22 (black dragon hatchling), and Chaos (Kyklops and white dragon hatchling) 12/21 and 6/21. Checked back til 1/2015.

Didn't someone "solo" a unique using only their own alts? I vaguely remember something like that happening. While number of participants shows higher than 1, effectively it was a single player.

Posted September 14, 2022 Wow amazing, those can give the team as references to set the standard time limit. I wonder how long it takes. They must be the top tier stats toons. Small amount of normal stats toons must take longer than them, so the standard time limit should extend longer after knowing their time length of slaying unique.

But I would not call it soloing, despite it being a remarkable achievement (and I know who was it ). In another MMO I played for a while, hunting boss mobs with a pack of alts became so common (and sparked complaints) that the team banned any more than 4 characters simultaneously logged on by the same player, and only 2 of them interacting, any evasive methods like logging from different IPs (like mobile and cable/DSL) threatened with ban as cheating.
