Getting mission-ninja'ed

[Archived Post]

A suggestion I have, I've just been making my way through the Tutorial with another alt, I get to Foxbat's location and wait for him to respawn. My toon goes through the animation of lifting the rubble off him, by the time I've done that another guy has turned up and got the Mission off him, the same happened three times in a row.......I'm doing all the waiting here, I do the lifting part and somebody ninjas the Mission.


How about for Missions like this (where to trigger availability you have to do something like lift rubble) you change the coding that whoever does the "trigger/rubble-lifting" that they are the only toon who can interact or accept the Mission, and make it so that they have say 10 seconds in which to interact or the mission becomes fair game?

i think the best soultion for missions like this is just to keep the respawn rate fairly high.

i noticed in some other missions, several different people can get credit for a mission "kill" so long as they contributed to the damage regarless of which group you're in. that was nice.

I know people can group to do them all at once but you just don't get the time to offer, with travel powers - people scoot in, steal the mob / kill / object then scoot off again. Games should not force people to group to complete non-group quests

why don't you make the NPCs hang around for 10-15s - giving everyone a chance to speak to them ?

Don't make quest items despawn - just make them so you can't loot that node again.

finally, a plea - no more escort quests please !!! they are not fun, time consuming and frustrating - especially if something beyond your control causes you to fail the quest - meaning you have to start it all again

I've done all three. Wait my turn, make a team and everyone in the waiting line wins, ninja it.

Ninja made me feel dirty - but if I was playing a villain (I played lots of em in CoV) it would have felt great.
Making the team was the best option for Champions, cuz I'm forced to be a goodie two shoes.
And waiting my turn, that got old - people kept ninja'ing me or whining cuz I didn't wait my turn or some thing - bad all around.
