Boss Hunting Etiquette?

I wouldn't believe you if you were gonna say it before the whole boss chair system thingy.
But yea we have a lot of boss campers that camps at one channel, kills the boss there as he spawns and swaps channels to kill the other.

Sucks, but that's just how it is, no matter how good our community is, there's always that one or two toxic players.

I could mention something nice that happened yesterday but I'll just tag his name for a like Babo

Did you get the name of that player tho?

 

@mapowner is still around right?

This happened to me aswell before boss chairs were introduced. I'd just treat it like regular ksing. Ask them not to and otherwise report the player.

 

The @mapowner command dictates who owns the map and has the right to the mobs within in. If you were indeed the map owner when this event occurred than the user did user violated the ToS, however, in order for punishment to be carried out you must submit proof with a screenshot of a player attacking mobs in your map with the @mapowner command clearly displaying your character IGN at the same time.

 

I'm not even sure if there's enough time to type the command and wait for the bubble to show up, especially if the other person is able to take out the boss in a couple of hits. Odds are we'll see a few items on the ground, and that's about it.

(By the way... any Mac players out there can advise on how I can take screenshots in fullscreen mode? Naturally I don't have the print screen key on my keyboard, and Apple's default screenshot keyboard shortcuts don't work.)

 

Rumors has it that Tae Roon doesn't exist at all on MapleLegends

 

You can use the skill macro to combine a skill with @mapowner for easy access.

 

Can confirm

 

Thank you for the tip!

Tae Roon appears only to those who are patient.

 

Normally when someone cc's into channel and kills the boss they will be doing so for the next 4 chs, you could always try PMing them while they do so. Mapowner rules should apply in this case anyway but like the guys above said, there will always be a few selfish players in the community.

 

am..... so yesterday in the meddle of the night i was camping deo and killing him on different channels , there were not any players waiting for him on the map.
is it a dick move on my part ? and if so y ?

 

My usual procedure is asking the player if they need the boss for a quest, and tell them when I find a spawn. Usual because I don't always stop for that, so do try to get our names and ask us the favor. When anyone's killing the boss, I just skip channels.

Seems like I'll need to integrate @mapowner into my routine.

 

Sorry you had a bad experience while hunting Deo; there is indeed a lot of competition for the area bosses (I used to hunt them a whole lot!), since their equipment and scroll drops are generally pretty good and worth the time.
It's generally a unwritten rule to not bother those who are only there to finish their quest/respect them and leave the map. As long as you make sure that you have @mapowner by hitting at least one enemy in the map every now and then, people have no business taking the boss from you.
Unfortunately some people let greed get the best of them and would rather risk the KSing ban, thinking that if they quickly kill the boss, people won't be able to report them. I'd suggest having your print screen button good to go when you're hunting, so that you can take a screenshot when they kill your boss, then take a screenshot of @mapowner and @time to submit a report here on the forums, and they'll be swiftly dealt with.

Happy hunting!

EDIT: When you realize this thread is from a few months ago, feelsbad.
STILL RELEVANT FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HUNT THEM THOUGH ;w;

 

You are entitled to your rights to hunt bosses, its just good manners and adhering to the no KS rules to not killsteal a boss kill if there's already an existing player who either waited for or is killing the boss in the map.
Although you can always ask if they need help assuming they are low level or lacking damage.
