Lovestruck King Slime

Another solution would be to have a variable tied to each character tracking the number of hits. When you hit it, increment by one. If the player earns a present, reset it to zero. This allows for someone who gets 70% of the required hits to cc or relog and finish the hits on another slime, and prevents the case where someone will get 100 hits on a slime, 100 on the next, and try a 3rd time and so on.

 

Con of using a short melee weapon is that you gotta literally hug the slime while you strike. Usually this is difficult to achieve if attempted with a none thief character because of knockbacks from the physical contact. Were you counting the number of times you slashed with the weapon or the actual hits that landed on the slime? I personally cannot visualize the slime when there are dozens of people jumping back and forth with their birds and summons and I'm guessing your 200 count may not have been accurate due to visual obstructions.

 

This may be a stupid question but: how do you hit with 4 chars 200x each on 1 map? The whole event is over in about 10 minutes, so 4 chars in 1 map have 150 seconds each to attack the slime.
I just don't understand how that's done physically.
On my mage I have to use the full time in the map, and often that's still not landing enough hits.
So am I understanding this wrong, or have I been doing it wrong?

 

Either way 10 minutes into spawn and all slimes get killed??? that's a bit ridiculous. If they get killed this fast whats the worry about the 150 requirement. And even if you don't want to remove it, at least reduce it to like 50

 

Can’t they be spread out, so there is like 1 slime per hour on different channels?

Example:
Like if ch1, 2 and 3 gets it at 1pm, 4pm, 7pm etc etc
Ch 4, 5, 6 get it at 12am, 3pm, 6pm and so on
Ch7,8,9 gets it agt 11am, 2pm, 5pm and so on

 

Yes It is possible as there were only 7 of us there.The others had their alts also. The map was empty until 30%And I have been doing this boss since day 1. I know how to count and I know there is NO WAY I miscounted on 4 chars.

Especially since using my MM takes me half the time to kill than it does for other classes. Same goes for NLs. So where is my MM's reward? Not even that reward showed up.

Yes. I know how to count. I've been trying to do this every day since I learned you can bring in alts. Some days I get to 3 some days only 2. It depends on the person who feels he doesnt need to be courteous to the people that got there first and they smega just to be mean.The channel was empty for a long time. The other people had their alts also. We asked each other if we were done with the 150. I said I go to 200,because of the mages. I want to know why I was not credited the rewards. I would love to see a log of this map at that time, but that won't happen.
If you start on a map with 100% HP, it is NOT hard to do at all.
So I lost 4 rewards that is putting me in an area now of not getting the ring.

I agree. I see the same people bringing their alts. In fact one of them got a slime tank today.It takes about 8 minutes (not me personally ofc) and all maps are done. I didn't know there were that many people on the game,but they bring alts too. It depends on the hour of the day. Some of the spawn times are full of people.Some have empty channels. Not all the time but they do.

The full time? Don't you have someone cornering it?That's just not possible to take the whole 100% to kill with a mage. Unless you have about 60 people there. And I'm sure there is a limit before the map is full. It depends on how many people are on the map and when the mob arrives after someone smegas. No one smegaed on this map until way later.

Lol. You would have people in a frenzy running to Amoria,or just camping out. It would be very frustrating I guess.

I like the idea of 1 char per channel.
That would cut all the fullness of the maps down.

And yes hits on the slime I count. I EVEN HIT IT about 8 times and don't count those.And I hit it and stay on a number like 45 and hit it about 6 times on 45.You have to remember I am not using all 4 at the same time.I use 1 at a time, and focus the entire time.

Actually I don't use a channel that is at 50%.That's too dangerous to have to get 150 hits in, especially with mages.

 

Adding a command like ~count would be a life changer

 

@RoyalCupcake
I've once made it to get presents on 4 chars at a single channel, like you said, just count till 150 on each one.
But on a MM or Thief, it's not worth using a melee faster weapon, since there is the lv35 maple weapons that are faster too.
On MM and Thief is easier to count 150, since using arrows/stars you can see how many you've wasted.

But getting into a map with no people is hard depending on the time.
Early day there are too much people you can't find a map for a single.

 

How can someone hitting a slime from 100% down to 0, nonstop, still not get you a present (ch 4 btw) and hitting another one from about 70% ....this is ridiculous when you spend 10-15mins for both and dont get a reward..

 

Sometimes it's the lag. What makes it worse is bringing your pet in. You don't need it at all.
People using their eagles and chairs make it worse too.
I find you can actually see a -1 then a 10 when you hit the slime. Wondering if that means you have to hit twice for 1 hit to count.
Either way,I always hit more than I count to have the extra hits. But still 4 chars with no reward on any of them seems
totally suspicious. From 100% hp down to I'd say 40% to get 200 on each. The MM and the Dk get done faster, then I use the mages.

Edit: was able to do 3 on ch 17. again 200 hits each one. Couldn't do a 4th as ppl were coming in after someone smegaed.
Wondering if the presents are nerfed. All I get is chocolate or those lame balloons.
Haven't gotten any sort of chair since day 1 amoria chair. And that is out of 83 runs now. ???

 

19 days left till event is over:



Guess who's not getting a ring this year?

 

Awesome! I found a good weapon for my mage today at CBD. The flag staff.

 

I wonder when's that server check gonna happen

Each day that passes I feel like giving up since I don't have even half of the trades so far.

Life's hard for casual players

 

I am not sure about this, but I may have found a scenario that would mess up the counter.

Sometimes I want to switch channel because the slime is already low HP in the channel I entered. There are two ways of doing this:

1. Climb up all the way to talk to Angelique, go out, switch channel, and go into the slime map again.
2. Log out and log back on another channel. You will appear in Amoria. Just talk to Angelique on that channel and go in again.

Originally I was using the 2nd way to switch channels when I need to, but I didn't get a present even though I hit the slime plenty of times in the new channel.

Now I am using the 1st way to switch channels when I need to, and I didn't have counter problem again.

Maybe this is worth trying if you continue to have counter problems.

 

my issue was mostly for the one channel that i entered fresh, that i waited and camped, went in from the beginning at 100% health and hit nonstop to 0% and got NO present... like ???

 

If possible, record one of your attempts down and we can further discuss what went wrong. As someone who frequently participate in this event, I have never encountered this issue. And neither did my guildmates so far.

 

Reduce the needed amount of hits.

i got my ring so at this point its okay. i was just very frustrated that day. In the end it is what it is, i havent had any issue since that one day
