@bossowner

be the first to hit an area boss and you get bossowner, no more annoying mapowner camping?

 

So you use an alt to hit each once and nothing has functionally changed?

 

you cant park an alt in the same manner as now and you need to be active when the boss spawns, idk just posted to throw it out there

 

Could you please walk me through your reasoning?

 

I thought it would accomplish the same as your suggestion but avoid the ks-war part. I think it's pretty straightforward.

 

That's your conclusion, but how did you reach it?

 

Like I said ingame it's a middle-ground.

You make camping a bit more of an active endeavor, you introduce the FFA element with getting the first hit and then @bossowner prevents the ks-war stuff.

 

Just reduce the mapowner timer. Has been suggested a dozen times before, solves (or significantly reduces) the problem without any of the downsides. Worst part would be not being able to take a poop during grinding.

Then again, that could be solved by only reducing mapowner time (to e.g. 30-60 seconds) in maps that spawn area bosses.

 

Isnt this already in place?

Seems it is.

‘obtaining mapowner’

both you and harley should read the guide. Its a great read and would’ve saved 2 stupid suggestions

 

arent you dead

 

No I am certified lamp engineer i dont get electrocuted

 

i need AT LEAST 3 minutes to poop bruh

 

noone asked omg

 

ok

 

things like these is why we all love you

 

Hitting a boss only works as a way of claiming mapowner when there is no current mapowner. Snork's suggestion would be that you could take ownership of the boss from someone who already has mapowner.
But I think the suggestion would only make the system less just than it already is. The current mapowner system is fantastic, one of the most perfectly designed parts of the game. Except maybe for the Pianus map

 

is it fantastic? Really? ever tried to kill anego for the past 3months?

 

Make mapowner 30-60 sec by default

Make active grinding slowly increase your mapowner time up to the current max of 5min

Afkers get sniped, active grinders don't get punished, y'all can still poop

 

Ayo this is exactly the system that I proposed in this thread!!! Got slammed with disagrees tho~

 

I gave it an agree to offset the balance

As long as the timer isn't tied to number of mobs killed I think it's the best system there is

e.g. instead of a mob dying adding +5 sec to your timer, your timer would continually increase up to the cap as long as a monster dies every 10 seconds or so. It's still cheesable but you'd have to put in WAY more effort, and if you're putting in effort then I think it's fair game
