Camp Stealing in Unrest

[dish11]

This is my first time in the forum. My boy friend got me playing the game. Love it. But one of the things he sold me on was the friendly community. The past week of play in Unrest, this hasn't been the case. Because I solo, people just take from you camp. Now, sure, take one maybe 2 here and there. I am soloing, but when you ask I've noticed a serious lack of awareness. Some times people respond in kind, most often not. Today was Christmas. Woke up drinking my coffee and camped the back door. A power leveling group took over the entire manor. So I just grabbed what I could. I was in a FP group until it fell apart after a train. The MR group moved up to FP to replace us. It was a full group and so I took over MR, solo. 5-10 mins later a DE Chanter came into the room and asked my level. I responded with 25. Then followed other PCs. They just took over my camp with out question. Nothing. I sat there in disbelief. I broke that camp after the original moved up. I asked if I had missed something... They just played dumb. I'm a little upset with this. This is why I don't play many video games online anymore. People like that... Sorry I didnt know where else to post this...

I don't recommend taking screenshots of your taking a camp that's not in use and a periodic shot every hour while you hold it unless it's a super lucrative camp that's contested often. Like say, the OOT Ancient Cyclops.

With what you've described as having happened in Unrest, a screenshot of the response of the players who took the camp over would be great for a Name and Shame. That's one of the basic functions of this forum. In short, you want to either capture their chat evidence of screwing you over on the camp or failing that, having members of your described former group discuss what happened in a chat text of the screenshot so you have 2+ people backing up what you're describing.

Getting back to the point of your post, Unrest and other zones (Mistmoore, Kurn's Tower, etc) are extremely popular for power leveling or other rushed leveling due to the high Zone experience modifier. People get it in their heads that they have limited time to play for the day, want the most advancement possible, and don't want people getting in their way. I don't advocate caving into them at all. I would advocate avoiding such people and situations by hitting up other zones where it's less likely to happen, like areas in Upper Guk, Permafrost, or Split Paw.

The community is descending into chaos - the forums are just a reminder of what its becoming. Sure its the players who make it that way mostly, but there's so much "shit" going on I don't think the staff have a hope on keeping up with trying to police everyone.

- Ban powerleveling in popular zones (literally remove them and tell them they're getting suspended, perhaps offer some advice on where's quiet instead).

- Remove the code allowing people to MQ, that stuff is beyond a joke now. If you've got to sit at scout/AC/etc with the guy who used to do the MQ'ing so you can loot up, you know you might as well just do it yourself.

OP I hope you don't click on the raid discussion forum, I think this shit trickles from the top down...and the raid scene is a blueprint for people who use that as a guide for what they consider acceptable.

Red server is quieter if you ever feel like some peaceful adventuring.

Unrest Kurns and Mistmoore in particular are loved by powerlevellers because of the complete lack of healer MOBs, as well as the dungeon zems.

People wonder all the time why places like Runnyeye and Cazic Thule lay dormant.. The simple answer is almost always healer mobs.. Definitely agree with screenshots and naming and shaming though.

[Ravager]

Power leveling anywhere there isn't a hundred red mobs on 6m40s timers is idiotic.

You can't be shy in this game or you will quickly be cuckolded (to use p99's favorite colloquialism). You need to assert your dominance over a particular camp. If someone even starts to encroach on your area or mobs, one polite warning that it is your camp is all they get. After that screenshot / report / name and shame are all viable options.

Don't go to unrest on exp bonus time...that's where you went wrong.

[Lemonhead]

On p99, certain areas are expected to be used for full groups. This is one of them.

When I play solo, I will always give up my spot to a full group, or join one with less than 6. It's kind of the right thing to do, as soloing is inherently selfish in this very group-centric game.

Hi, I stole your camp.

Hi, I stole your wife.

That's a load of horseshit that you literally pulled out of your ass.

Wouldn't happen on Phinigel. Well people "stealing" your camp happens. But none of the "Waaahhhh my vag hurts GM's pls hold my hand through this difficult time" nonsense. Someone steals your camp you KS them or train them like a man.

Kids these days...

Most of the people on this server are mindless sheep and have convinced themselves that Unrest, Mistmoore, and City of Mist are somehow the best xp in the game. They flock to these tiny ass zones over camp them and have constant pissing matches over every mob and cry and bitch and moan in ooc. These zones bring out the worst behavior from the worst players on the server. You should avoid these zones.

Anyone who thinks this is a self entitled ass.

I'll confess to doing this numerous times, especially to Bards just fucking my camps and exp up with their casual bullshit swarming. And yes, I'm talking about when I've set up my camp first and am cheerfully dealing with spawns broken to singles. There is absolutely nothing in this game, not one single drop or piece of raid loot that is sweeter than being the reason an asshole is found typing in the zone chat " WTB rez pls. "

Thats because you pay to play there and Daybreak isnt paying for a paid CSR team.

Seems like a good deal to me....
