So graphic...

Emeleth - Dreamweaver

Something occurred to me today while doing a quest north of Arch. I play on what is apparently a **** laptop because, unless I play with my graphics dumbed all the way down, the lag is disgusting, truly nasty. It's impossible to quest while your monitor looks like it has epilepsy.

So, I'm questing away on this little noob veno I have here, tab, hit, kill, repeat. I stand in basically one spot and kill everything that spawns around me for a random drop quest. Someone mentions something in WC to me and I flip my chat window over to check it out and I am now able to see in common chat "stop ks'ing" and "no ks'ing" and several people talking about some evil ks'er and how she won't stop.

Wait.

Me?? I'M the one who is ks'ing??

Yep, it was me. With my graphics down all the way and that nifty little button that hides players outside my range limit. I was ks'ing and I had no idea there were even other people around me. Pretty sure there weren't when I got there, don't recall seeing any little green dots on the map, but... eh, I'm old, my eyes aren't what they once were.

Every mob I targeted had full life, first off, so I was in no way intentionally ks'ing anyone.

Secondly, remember that you likely are not going to be the only person needing one particular mob at any given time anywhere in the PWI world.

And third? Remember that PWI has all kinds and maybe not every player has some monster of a machine made up of nothing but pure processing power that allows them to see clearly with no lag from one side of the PWI map to the other.

Maybe some people are ks'ing and they don't even know it. Don't just assume that every ks'er out there is a rotten person only concerned with their own self. And try pm'ing someone first before you throw a baby tantrum in common chat. All you've done is make it appear that you are talking to yourself. I personally can't stand world chat or common chat, they usually just junk up my chat box with meaningless garbage, so I have them hidden in all but the common chat box, which I very rarely look at.

And, by the way, no, I couldn't see the chat over your heads, either, because I couldn't see you. So I had no way of knowing you were talking to me at that moment. If you had pm'ed me, I gladly would have stopped and moved somewhere else, or I would have asked if you'd like to squad for common quests.

So, you may have seen me as the ks'er, but all I saw were invisible whiners.

Good day.

Ksing is still actually possible at lower lvls? I'm shocked... thought hardly anyone did quests anymore...

Yes, some of us still do quests :P I use the veno to escape occasionally, to do some mindless questing on a toon most people don't know, that's all. I refuse to spend a dime on the veno, so hyper stones, oracles, or esos are out of the question. I don't play her to level her, just to have a change of pace

I personally don't believe in using hyper stones, oracles, or esos (other than oracles I get as drops or the random eso here and there on my main - I've never bought a single hyper stone). I believe in leveling naturally, with hard work, like those of us who've been around much longer than hyper stones had to do. These noob level 90+ that have hypered their way to the top? No thanks, I'll stick with parties of people I know who know how to play their classes properly

Since the introduction of hyper stones, I have seen level 90+ barbs who have no clue how to hold aggro and I've seen a 50+ veno comment "I learned how to lure today." So sad for PWI to come this far only to sink so low I remember having to learn how to run an FB19 with 6 level 19s and making it work, how to tank FB19s with a level 23 archer and living through it, and learning by much death how a level 60-ish party could vanquish Jewel. Those were the good old days, where we all had to work hard for what we wanted. These days, PWI is so free to play, pay to win, that it's impossible for us non-millionaires to keep up and so we plod along, actually doing quests *gasp* for our levels.

Back to the main topic of ks'ing... What I was basically trying to say was "Get over it, **** happens, I'm not playing this game to please you or make your life easier. It's a dog eat dog Perfect World and whining won't get you anywhere with this crabby old bippy." And yeah, apparently those couple of whiners were doing quests, too, so I'm not alone out there!

Really... some people just refuse to listen. The quest areas are crowded, whoever attacks first gets the mob. It's not KSing if you attack first, even if they had the intention of attacking the same mob. They should suck it up and move on, I've played 6 characters through the 30s, most of them are now 50+ and even though there were other people questing I learned to be able to kill what needs to be killed even with them around.

My characters are always white name, if they're really mad about me questing near them they'll go white and try to pk me, fail, and I'll go on about my business. But that usually isn't the case, most people will see you killing the mobs they need and team up with you to make things go faster.

@ Zanryu : I fully agree with you. I happened to me some times : i targetted a mob,
make the first attack and suddenly in the same time, my skill was channeling , i realised
that an other Player was a second faster to attack this mob.
So i know that every Player faces a Situation like this earlier or later.

It makes me angry for the first second but then. . . next time i am the one who kills first *lol*

Edit : Sorry for my bad English, its not my native language :-(

Emeleth, that's happened to me before, except it was mat gathering. when in archo, i ctrol+F9 for less lag and clutter. if i forget to change it back before logging out, i would log back in with those settings and not know it. so here i am running around getting mats and not seeing anyone. (feels nice to be alone sometimes) and go get a mat. i guess someone was there but i got it first. i leave for next mat. so this person pm's me and calls me a bas.****. i'm thinking, who the heck is this person? i realize that i'm still in ctrl+F9 mode and can't see anyone. heck, i was thinking about giving it back if they wanted it that much but...change my mind. not going to give it to someone who just called me a name.

SHHHHHH, if the 90+n00bs don't buy anything from the cash shops, they'll make it Pay to Play cause they'll have no money left >.>

Though that is sad that people use Hyper Stones for the sole purpose of growing their e-peen

As for the Ks'ing, I'm in the same boat as you, crappy laptop and Low graphics constantly turned on.

I've even asked someone who KS'd me to join a squad since we were killing the same mobs, only to be, effectivley told to F-Off. Some guys are rude, some aren't, i'm not gonna lose sleep over it though, it is at the end of the day, a game.

The QQ is funny sometimes though, deleibrately provoke it b:thanks

if only that were true... too bad we live in a carebare server.

So funny.... we "live" in a PVE server. No offense, Zanny, but if I wanted to PK, I'd go to a PVP server. There's a reason some of us play here - not everyone has something to prove in pixel land and feels the need to beat up other kids on the playground - or get beaten up by them b:laugh

And the word you're looking for, wtvdie, is careBEAR. If you don't like it here, go to a PVP server and get your rear-end handed to you every day.

I prefer my PVP in the controlled environment of TW. The rest of the time, I actually *gasp* play the game - you know, do quests and kill mobs? Because I'm a lady IRL, I don't really much care how big my e-peen is in pixel land b:chuckle It is my opinion that, yes, while PWI has the PK option, it was designed to be a cooperative game requiring groups of people for many aspects of it. It's designed as a team sport. Unfortunately, it's full of bad losers, emo little kids, and adults that don't know yet that they aren't emo little kids anymore. If people would only think before they speak and act, you know, like most of us do IRL, our little PWI world would be a much happier place. Instead of assuming that someone is a big jerk because they killed "your" mob before you did, I am only suggesting you use your gray matter to actually think once in awhile and remember that there's a human being behind every pixel and not all of them are mean and ignorant.

And don't forget that, in the end, it's only a game. Is it really worth getting all that worked up over? The mobs DO respawn, you know...

So because I PvP most of the time you automatically assume I do it for the e-peen? I pk because there's mostly nothing else to do with my time on here and it's fun. Fighting other people is a challange, unlike mobs. I do it for the fun of it not so I can brag and say I'm the best pker ever. It's a game, who cares who the best pker is?

I have 7 alts, each of them somewhat active and all of them over level 30, I've been through the PvE side of this game more than enough to be tired of it, so I enjoy a challange every now and the in the form of pking.

Btw... all the pkers doin it for the e-peen, without you we'd all be friendly and never get any killing doneb:kiss
