Thievin' Guards

[Mad_Gerbil]

Please look at this screen shot and tell me what is wrong:



In case you didn't notice, I did 687 points of damage in that game but only got 1 kill. How you ask? Simple. Kill stealing BASTARD GUARDS WHO SHOULD ROT IN THIEF HELL!

Or you were having fun with Miss spider.... :roll:

[LaughingRat]

What's wrong? Oh, it must be that bug that multiplies guards' damage dealt by 10 occasionally.

I would appreciate some serious feedback about the proper etiquette of kill stealing.

The dilemna:

(a) When I attack a thief, the thief often gets away. I appreciate help. I assume even people less newbie-ish than myself feel the same way because when spectating I often see several guards clumping around one thief.

(b) I do not want to "kill steal" and offend anyone. Usually this is not a problem, since I have lame skills so chances are the guard I am helping is hitting the thief more often and with more blows connecting has a vastly greater chance for owning the final blow. But twice this week I have done a "kill steal".

The answer:

(a) Pleae tell me if there is there any generally accepted etiquette for when to help a teammate pummel a foe...

(b) For version 1.3 could we change "kills" to "Marios" and solve the problem? Does anyone really care who gets the final blow, when damage dealt is both more fair and more impressive?

[WildBill]

If you can kill a thief, kill it, don't worry about it being "someone else's kill". The purpose is for the team to win, not individuals to have high scores.

LameHamster:

In the view of the [RLF] there is no kill stealing.
Just kill the bloody bastards as quickly and efficiently as possible
and you'll be doing the right thing every single time.

^What these last two guys said^

It's a TEAM game, after all.

Sometimes the points rate on how much damage is done over thief kills. Sometimes not. But it should rate on that... problem is that when u kill innocents like Gerome and Kevel.. u would get the lead in that cheap way. So they need to fix that and need you to stop crying

[Curunir]

Whoa Kewl, back off. He isn't crying at all. He just wanted to know if he was doing anything wrong. It's good that he came here to post that. He is new, he admits that. Evidently, someone bitched at him for stealing their kill.

There is no "stealing kills." Sometimes people will joke (I do), saying, "Hey, that's my kill!" But most of us are only picking, and not meant to be taken seriously.

The reason guards gang bang a thief is to kill him. It doesn't matter who kills him, as long as he dies. It's a team guy, and requires teamwork.

BTW, I'm somewhat new here... and this is some of the best advice I can give you, Take what most everyone says with a grain of salt. Don't let anyone tick you off or have a bad game. Just play man. Have fun!

I wonder how much of that was "fire damage"

I was BJ'd once by the last thief.
He took about 30 pts. of damage before 3 guards jumped him and stole my kill.

My default loudout has no firebolts.

I see another error:

None of the thieves had any loot. Omg.

Stupid DM Thieves!

Maybe the map was Asylum?
