Re: The Trials and Tribulations of LostKnight
Good point and well worth your clarification.
Accidental and deliberate pet killers are two very different types of players.

Re: The Trials and Tribulations of LostKnight
↑ 2 posts @ Nahgus Of course that is your choice. But I have seen people "detour" slightly to get pets as they cross maps as well.
Accidental killing is not the point here, nor "babysitting other people's pets" that park them in harms way where you are spawning. We are talking "killing pets on purpose", like the MIB mentioned above.
Kind of like dragging a swarm to the edge of a map where a path meets another and some unsuspecting person walking the opposite direction crossed the map line just a second after you. BLINK! Not your fault if he and his pets die, you are playing your game. But you could pause, let your pets kill the mob and then carry on. I have seen a LOT do just, enough in fact that it is what I do by habit now.
HOWEVER: It is not mandatory and one cannot be blamed if they don't. It's just a personal choice.

Re: The Trials and Tribulations of LostKnight
i agree it is a personal choice
there is a big difference in spawning a massive mob and dragging them to pets and simply passing thru a map
i am not a pet killer but have been wrongfully accused of being one before
i have more important things to do then watch out for others pets
pets are owners responsibility

The Latin phrase used in criminal law is mens rae, meaning basically a guilty mind or intent to do the action, and that is really the key. Everyone who plays obviously moves around and spawns mobs, but there's a big difference between not caring about someone else or their pets and intending to kill the pets.
Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.

@ Nahgus
I can not argue that point I would never consider you a pet killer. Like I said there is a difference between it happening "on purpose" and "not on purpose".
And I agree, I am not responsible for others pets, I will do what I can to save them though.
Here's my one exception: I do not like it when people think I should babysit their pets in my spawn area and they go to spawn some place else. Nope, not my responsibility, I tried in the beginning, but when it ruins my levelling experience I figure I'll just go back to spawning. Most times they come and move their pets, on occasion not.
Now that said, I have and will continue to die for someone's pets. I remember times leaving blood mummies, after getting mith, where people park pets at the door. A mob behind me, I'd stopped and started fighting. I've managed to never let a pet die at that door.

Re: The Trials and Tribulations of LostKnight
And that really is key as to why it can't be punished either. Unless a GM actually sees it happen, it's very hard to determine intent. Would a player lie to try and get free pets? Of course some would. But until the GMs improve their esp abilities, that's sadly how the rule will need to be.SellSword wrote: ↑Mon Sep 03, 2018 4:19 pm The Latin phrase used in criminal law is mens rae, meaning basically a guilty mind or intent to do the action, and that is really the key.

You called me strong, you called me weak
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I
Never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, if
Not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground

Re: The Trials and Tribulations of LostKnight
OH My!!
What a day ... got up and went out to some shops so the grubby hands were at the coin purse again. BUT on a good note we can eat for a while. Then I had to "factory" reset my "el Cheapo" 7" tablet running Android 5. Lost a LOT of play time in the offline game. Think I was at level 71 with some really old gear too. And all five characters had tools +2 ... was looking to getting underground at Silverwood. Oh well, start over.
But I did get a new wallpaper, LostKnight, sitting on his throne in Rockheim North, Steinheim i nærheten av Kedington¹ in his formal gear!

Re: The Trials and Tribulations of LostKnight
Throne in the sense of a regal throne, I hope? I mean, if it was the other meaning that'd be one truly magnificent stool, well worthy of formal gear. Either way I'll take a gander as soon as I can find the secret passage that leads you directly to my coffee pot...
