I would like to suggest map ownership time to be lasting 4-5 mins then 3mins duo to pheonix tricking people (as what happened to me recently) when you hit the monsters in the map you have 3mins timer to hit again if not you lost the map and i got sniped at voodoo many times, pheonix lasting more then 3mins and people actually getting to take the map. i know its my fault actually not paying attention to the time (everytime!) i'm used to just reuse the pheonix macro with arrow rain when its off, people always can just come inside the map and take it if the 3mins passed and my pheonix is still up. its pretty annoying getting map stealed after you standing in the map for so long and not having the amount of items you farming. im not sure if this suggestion would do anything bad its just a change by one or two mins to the map ownership timer to prevent shit situations like those.
I think that increasing the map owner time just to make AFK farming easier is a horrible idea. The purpose of this command is to prevent KSing and looting situations for those who are actively using their map.
If you can't be bothered to keep track of the time when you farm with such a method, it's all on you. In my opinion the map owner time should not be increased because 3 minutes is more than long enough already and afk farming shouldn't be made any easier than it already is. Let's make it last only a minute
no, there's ingame macro which let you do 3 skills using one button with a message, and not an outside the game program.
Then you have people afking in maps like Anego with summons holding it. I agree with the other poster. Anything that discourages AFK farming should be done, and in no way should it be made easier to add another 2 classes to the afk meta.
I am ignorant in the theoretical use of summons holding boss maps, however it's quite annoying to be killing in a map for hours just to have someone come in and own the map for manually attacking it at the right time. I'm assuming there's no way for summons to just have decrease ownership time like 20 seconds? Compared to every other attack.
i suggested that to have at least knowledge when my mapowner is totally gone by visual as for my pheonix\ other summoning mob, if its impossible, is it would be cool at least adding timer for how long you gonna have the map (mapowner command for the owner of the map it self). and no~ im not gonna open timer everytime.
Map owner is designed to keep ownership of a map while grinding, when there is no question you have it since you should be attacking once every 3 minutes, in reality at least once every couple seconds. It's not meant to allow people to do much else, and having a straight timer/notification automatically would make it a lot easier to multiclient afk farm cause you could visually see without typing a command,
Summons attack the monsters and the summon was a skill I used that lets me grind while attacking constantly. There is no question I'm constantly using a map when I have recordings of me at the site for hours upon hours. It's literally just people coming in blowing up the place with ultimate's trying to own the map I'm using knowing that most people just use their summons to grind there so they can take map ownership from them. That's literally what kill stealing is. They do it just enough to get that "CC please" warning so they don't get reported and do it through all the channels until they get a mapowner from a map someone is already occupying. I'm probably alone on this, but I wouldn't mind if all the summons used for farming had their time cut in half or even lower if they could take mapownership like any other skill, because why have mapowner as a function to prevent map/kill stealing if me using a skill, getting kills, drops and exp isn't enough to legally keep a map that I've been at for hours without leaving.
If you're attacking as well, there's no reason the summon needs to maintain map owner. If people aren't actually attacking but are just using their summon, IMO, they should lose maps to people wanting to come in an train (which using mage ults they are probably looking for their own AFK ma). That's just how I feel.
Just make it a habit to recast your summon and attack every 2 minutes. I usually recast my Elquiness+Paralyze on my archmage when my HS runs out on my bishop. Never lost a map thanks to that.
