Large Lunker fish "griefing" issue

Community General Discussion

Because too many people are confused:
This is NOT about the World Quest, it is about the fishing activity.

There are those special big fish that you need the harpoon to get out of the water.
But it takes on tool of a person to attack them with regular spells and easily deplete their tiny HP pools and deny the loot access to everyone else (while with harpoon kills the kill credit is given to everyone).

Can the lunkers somehow become harder to kill in the ways they are not intended to die like?

Just kill them normally as anyone else? Why even bother with harpoon…

Because when there is like 20 people working together to spawn these things and some stranger steals all the loot credit, it ruins the fun for everyone else.

It seems you do not need to pull them up but can just kill them forthe same loot

I am not talking about 1vs1 I am talking about how the loot is shared if people do not kill them the intended way

Its not griefing at all.

I can pull multiple by aggroing them while you rp an angler mashing the button to pull it in.

Yeh, just kill them normally and get the meat.

yeah but with one way, everyone gets loot and the other way the single person who is killing it, loots.

We had a nice fish large number of people from both factions spawning lots of lunkers and lunker rares and we were all looting fish and isle coins and eventually the 2 people who started casting spells at them started getting all the loot and the other players left because they were wasting their lunker summoning materials for the benefit of 1-2 randoms

Then kill it as well. Mob tagging isn’t locked to faction anymore.

these things have like 80k hp and there are like 30 people there…

I dunno, I can’t help you. I have never come across this problem.

12

this is how it looks like when it is done normally

13

Well, we’ve found your problem.

You don’t get Quest credit whilst in a raid. Try leaving the raid.

14

no this is not about the raid, this screen is when people do it properly without disruption, we all get loot

But you also get loot if you attack and kill it, which is much easier and quicker.

If other people are attacking them, just use an instant cast spell to get your tag, and let them kill it for you.

I’m not sure why you’re making this an issue. The goal is to get the meat for the quest, you can do that 1 of 2 ways.

From farming these things you get fish , gear (from the rares) and coins of the isles that you can turn in for bags of ores, elemental mats and random recipies.

This is NOT about the World quest and its weak tiny lunkers.

It is about the BIG lunkers that are part of the Fishing proffesion

I did not get the rep when killing it normally.

Loot be damned, I want the rep.

This is not about the lunkers from the WQ Imora, it is the fishing lunkers that require the seashells to summon the big fish

You get rep first time a day you reel in a large lunker.

At least I was until people started killing it.
