What is proper etiquette for hunting multiple creatures? I've been training my defenses in leucros for a bit now, generally with 2-3 on me, and a couple of times now people have told me to kill them and would then threaten me when I tell them this is just how I hunt. Does my holding of leucros affect the overall gen rate in the area? And even if it does, isn't it my right, since I waited for them, to hold them as long as I see fit?

I don't wish to fight the overall current of public opinion on this matter if I'm in the wrong, but I feel I should be able to train my skills any way I see fit as long as I don't interfere with others.

I spawn 4 leucros in the hunting area by myself. Since that's the melee cap and leads me to believe that other people will spawn 4 themselves, just tell them to take a hike.

Even if that isn't the case. Just do whatever version of a cheap-shot kill your guild has on the whining baby.

I've run into this problem here and there and been on either side of it. The way I handled it is to tell them to bug off when they come to me with it. When I have gone to people with this, like in beisswurms when 2 people sit in a room and have all the spawn when i was at that level, I asked nicely if they wouldn't mind killing like 2 so more come elsewhere. If met with silence cause they are AFK i just kill their critters, if they respond I just killed their critters.

Who cares? Technically speaking, if you need to keep four creatures on you alive to train, you're probably doing it wrong. But its your choice. Sure it might be impeding other people a little bit, but at least you're not running around Bannering every room in a hunting area in an attempt to chase people off. Ahem ahem. But whatever. Train as you please. Though like I said, if you have to keep 4 on you alive in order to train, you might need to rework your training methodology.

Certain hunting areas it can really be annoying when someone "hogs" the critters if the spawn is set for a low number. Places set with 2 per hunter for instance, and one player decides to dance with 4, you could sit for an hour and never find something to kill, its frustrating. With 3 per hunter it isnt as bad, you can always find something to kill, but if you want to get 3 or 4 of your own to dance with, you wont till the other person kills or leaves (then you become the hog). Places that spawn 4 per or use special mechanics are the exception.

That said, ettiquette wise, no one is obligated to kill critters just so you can have some. When such problems exists your beef should be with GM who owns the area, not with the other player. I dont think there is anything wrong with politely asking someone to kill a few so you can have some spawn too, but I would not expect them to agree and would not get mad if they do not. If its a frequent problem just find another hunting area with better spawn, drop a note on the board about sucky spawn in the area you just left. But its not the other players fault spawn sucks, nor your fault, you are not obligated to kill nor are they.

>>As a player, you really can ruin the hunting for other people (especially as an empath) if you don't kill quickly. However, this is really something that the GMs need to address. I mean, it isn't exactly an IC issue.<<

Quoted for emphasis.

There's no formal etiquette about dealing with requests like that, to my knowledge, but killing a couple so the other person can hunt is a decent thing to do that can make you friends and prevent other players getting fed up and doing it for you.

It's stupid in leucros though because they spawn well and you can also just wander across the deadfall for another area.

Yeah, I did some testing in there and it is annoying. Whatever. Battle the whiner anyway.

Thank you for constructs.

I'm in the mid-90s circle-wise and I have 430 multi. And I never keep anything alive.

I'm pretty sure you're opinion is wrong.

Korsik is also somehow logged in 24/7 and rerolled and trained to double what most people do very quickly. Shall we just say you script better combat then others?

epic derail (haha)

Hows that hope and change working out for you?

<<Korsik is also somehow logged in 24/7 and rerolled and trained to double what most people do very quickly. Shall we just say you script better combat then others?

He was also gone for about 3 months for basic training. Anyway...

I'm a 103rd MM with 450 MO (which is the lowest of my defensive skills). It's taken me just under a year to get to this point (circles and skill, in prime) and I don't quite play 24/7. I have also never needed more than 2 critters to move MO anywhere I've hunted.

I guess I script better than others as well.

I wasnt trying to bash people that get combats up fast there. But anyway... WTB sweet scripts so I can get good too ;)

I used to love getting 3 or 4 leucros in that room they can't leave once they spawn. But without retreating now its a dead issue.

I say if someones hunting unresponsive kill their stuff and get some for yourself. If you just auto jump the gun to doing this and dont wait for your own then move on. But if there is a person always doing this then ask, kill critters, do whatever. Taking someones critters isn't against policy, last I knew, deal with consequences as they come up

I'm tempted to go dance with leucro.

>No but it's possible to be logged in for 24/7, especially if you're Korean. If you're at basic training however there's no possible way you're going to be able to do that, unless you have someone else running your character, which is a likely possibility. At any rate let the GMs deal with it.

Clearly you don't have any idea what his circumstances are, but they've been posted on SC plenty.

It's a boar. It doesn't like you.

>>Clearly you don't have any idea what his circumstances are, but they've been posted on SC plenty.

No I don't and I don't read SC anymore but that's why I didn't put any definitive accusations in there.

If any of you were near Rossman's, you'd know Korsik is entertaining us all with his gweths on a regular basis.

Unless his script does that too. NOW FEATURING: Prydaen-Deterrent, Ways To Call You A Fairy, and last but not least, The Paladine Chronicles.
