Possible Corruption Griefing mechanics

KaielogyKaielogy Member
in General Discussion
Just want devs to clarify the system regarding this issues:

1) you have to flag purple to hit a green
2)I need to flag purple to hit a purple
3)if someone flag purple to hit me I want to retaliate
4)if I retaliate and start running through my skills, example aoe/skillshots
5)the griefer summons his green friends and run around him
6) will i be able to accidentally hit his green friends as a purple and get corruption bombed?

if this can be clarified would be best,you will not have time to set your status to opt out of hitting greens, and I like to retaliate against players who flag on me without worrying about hitting other greens running around the fighting area

    I told you this on Discord. You have to click on someone to flag on them. There is no aoe "karma bombing." This has been explained over the years multiple times. I will give you a quote from Steven if you don't get the dev response you are craving.

    Also you only gain Corruption on a kill. So accidentally targeting someone and hitting them won't do anything unless you carry through with killing them without them fighting back.

    So can I confirm being a combatant & force attack is a seperate thing?

    Yes, it doesn't matter how many friends he has milling around. You won't affect them at all unless you click on them to target and use a direct damage ability.

    Pretty sure aoe abilities will only hit the primary target and any other already-flagged combatants within its field of damage. It was the same in Lineage 2, you had to hold CTRL on your attacks to keep hitting someone that wasn't flagged. You could only freely attack them without Force Attacking(CTRL) if they are also flagged.

    This is a very easy thing to implement and I would be -shocked- if it didn't exist, given Steven and the rest of the developers experience in the MMO genre.

    Worry not my friend, you won't accidentally PK an innocent bystander.

    Just to expand on that, holding the Force Attack button will only force attack your selected target, not other non-combants near them. They would have to flag as well to be hit by your AoE dealt against your selected target.

    Yes! But sometimes, you were killing mobs and a flagged char entered the radius of the AOE skill and made you flag, so his team of buddies killed you without going red, just to take you out of the spot.

    I'm pretty sure the Dev Team has this figured out already

    As was just mentioned, you cannot flag with AoE alone. It doesn’t matter if they’re purple, green, or red, you have to target someone directly in order to flag.
