Hi in some mmo's random help from bypassers are not wanted and verbally discouraged and players rather go down screaming no help . How is it in this game being a hero game there comming to rescue and help at least sounds as part of the game. I am not intressting in stealing your xp or stuff just wondering if random help is ok or not?

I don't know if it's "OK", I just know that I do it if the person looks like they could use a hand.

If the mob is at about half health and they are at about 10-20% health I'll jump in otherwise they are on their own.

Obviously this depends on the encounter and the person you're dealing with. Some people will be grateful, others will think you were trying to 'KS' them and spend an hour sending you hate tells.

I think they actually need an "encounter lock" option. That way the people can decide whether they want outside help or not.

I remember I came across someone doing a quest by the robots. I think it was rescuing some people or something.

I sat and watched, and then decided to check health and the other person fighting was in trouble. They likely would have died. They started turtling, and so I gave the guy a shot or two knocked him down and just threw in a few more shots to help the person turn the tide and win the fight.

If I am aware I will try to stay out of other people's business. Sometimes things happen just becasuse of proximity and the rest.

I'll wait and watch the fight progress, if it appears that they need help - i'll help. Since CO has not got much of a death penalty, help is probalbly not needed that often.

My rule of thumb is that I will check the mob's health, then the player's health, then how quick the mob's health is dropping, then how quick the players health is dropping, and then make a decision if I should help or not. Usually it all works itself out, as they've died by that point.

Everyone who does significant damage to a target gets credit when it goes down, so there's no real reason for us not to help each other out, which is cool.

Of course, I help. I'm a ****ing superhero.
