Let's Put to Rest "Outdoor is/is not FFA" Myths

[Baler]

Seafuries are FFA

[Red_Messiah]

Nothing beats getting FTE on 3 seafuries then looking for a 4th for 10 minutes while the OOT infused salty tells come in. I can't help it that it takes 4 to quad. Leave me an extra one next time, or send Brad McQuad a message about his bad game design...maybe he'll fix it.

OP, you were cucked. Rule number one of managing aggressions upon oneself or one's property: Respond swiftly and with overwhelming force. If someone denies you one mob, deny that person any mobs. If someone takes one of your mobs, take every one of their mobs. If your puller is unable to keep up, designate a second puller to assist. If someone ccs or tags off your pulls, cancel magic on those mobs, dot them, fear them or charm, haste and release them.

The important thing is to act, not only for your own livelihood, but for that of your groupmates. You can worry about rules and fabricating a story to conform if need be once the threat has been neutralized.

Good luck! ^^v

This is taken from a page out of the book, "The Art of Mob War on P99." Nice job finding that, MM.

You might be right about that..

My group just decided not to fight over it and let him have the mobs.

This has been my rule of thumb on P99. There's just no other alternative if you want to keep smiling.

I know I'm a fucked up person. I have problems: PTSD is a bitch. That said, when I encounter another player who is ready to pull this kind of crap in game, I genuinely feel sorry for that player. They can have it.

Given the problems I have and I don't act like that to others, I always wonder what has gone wrong in a player's life to make them treat other people with such petty disregard over shit that doesn't ultimately matter.

Some people were born that way.

It don't have to be a sad thing or an angry thing though. There sure are some genuine douches out there, but generally you can make friends of anyone doing this. Make light of it and have fun with it rather than trying to assert ownership of digital real estate based on the fact that you are more important than them.

Yeah it can suck if you are losing and nobody enjoys losing itself, but you can still have fun even when losing and a if you feel that your fun is being threatened, you can go do something else ^^ Generally when I encounter someone doing this, I'll do all the things that I mentioned above, but also engage my "foe" in some playful banter.

I've run into quite a few people who are like "omgosh, sorry, I'll stop" when I catch them, as if doing it sneakily is ok, but in the open is not lol. But you know what? I tell 'em to not worry about it and keep at it and if I lose mobs to them, well that just means I am not doing my job ^.~v

It does t always have to be about mean people taking advantage of other people. Make friends, have fun, DESTROY TOUR ENEMIES! ^.~v

On live it was always static spawn points can be camped, roaming or pathing mobs were FFA (Inside/outside didn't matter).

Start banning people who consistently petition to lawyer their way into pixels imo

This is an excellent idea. Once the petitioner hits X amount in a week or month.
Poof*
Maybe have a box appear on their screen too.

It's time to take a break and do something else!
Click Yes to exit or No to petition.

If they click No, still exit*[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
