So when your out there hardcore solo Chinese grinding when you happen upon a giant do you attack it even if another person already is? Or do you leave it alone and let them get the kill?

I do the same. But I find it funny when people are like "No KS!" well of course I'm going to KS it. If it were a regular mob or a champ I'd probably leave it alone. But these people get all pissed off cause you attacked "Their" giant. It's stupid. So I was just wondering if I was the only person who ks'ed the living hell outa other people's giants. Glad to know that I'm not :wink:

if it is new spawn or most of hp i attack it, if under half i let other person have it (of course if he responses if i say hi, otherwise i assume bot and ks)

normally i dont ks people unless its bots, but giants i take as a free for all since it was meant to be a group fight to begin with

Years ago I'd say leave it, but now almost everyone is AFK.. so unless I KNOW that they're there I wouldn't attack it. or was it suppose to be would..
if they're handgrinding = don't attack.

There. when you can't put a simple sentence together that's a sign you should go to sleep.. k bye

Depends if I actually have a chance of KSing the giant. Of course I wouldn't try to KS a friend...or a wizard.

Meh, kd is annoying, but ksing bladers generally isn't that hard. Especially not when they're retarded enough to debuff it some more for me.

*Edit* As a chi archer that is.

depends on my mood. If they aren't afk i wont' ks, if they are afk i will, you make friends when you say i wont' KS and they aren't afk.

I check if its KS-able, if i can kill it and get the drops... i will.
If its HP is down to a point that killing it doesn't earn me the item. I leave it alone.

giants are good exp even without drops though

i am lvl 76 wizard/cleric
i do that Antinoke quest now (lvl 82-83 mobs)
of cource i attack giants, when another already does, because in my server Roc Mountain is now only full of botters and i love to KS them
it is very rare when somebody in my Roc anyway talks to you :-)

but when i see that someone really plays and talks to me, then i never ks
only when he/she asking for help
PS! I remember once in Niya Hunters there was bot plevel pt and i KS lvl 76 party giant alone when i was lvl 74. That was funny :-)

I KS bots, not normal players. If the giant is almost death I don't attack, it's not worth the XP you get.

lol That used to piss me off so much. I found it rude when traders did that to me, especially when the monster wasn't bothering them or in danger of their trade > >

same here,
but if i am attacking a party giant and some kser wiz starts ksing me,
i stop attacking, it turns and kills him, then i go on grinding without any problems.
weakish euros better know their place in this game

I usually don't attack it.
If someone attacks my giant I ks the shit out of them til they start whining and leaves the spot.

VforVendetta · **Joined:** Apr 2007 **Posts:** 1615 **Location:**

Only ever KS if its a bot, regardless of what HP the giant is at.

Same here, I give them the courtesy of the kill. That extra 25k XP isn't going to make that much of a difference in the long run.

However, if someone else tries to ks and we are partying, they usually don't stand a chance.

more so on this matter it pisses me off when i'm soloing and a plvl / bot shows up with total disregard to if the spot was even open

Dyegov · **Joined:** Dec 2007 **Posts:** 940 **Location:**

I always get ksed by everyone, and so do I

And yeah, I hate when those high lvl plvlers/bots come to the spot where I'm training for hours and start 1hit killing everything, not leaving anything for me >.<

i like how they seam to know when you're 80% done with a quest

Why would you touch a mob that somebody else is already attacking giant or not... that is rather stupid.

Giants are the same as any other mob after like level 30 as they cant kill you and they are easy to kill, so its not like you are helping them its just pure idiocy. I would never attack any mob that somebody else is already attacking unless its a PT champ or pt giant and they arent in a pt with other people.

I annoys the piss out of me when somebody attacks a mob I have already started attacking before they even see it. If you are that hungry for a couple of thousand xp then its really sad.

Of course if it's a bot, and I actually want the giant, I'll KS it if I think I can handle it.

Other than that, I just leave the giant alone. I'll often times ask the person if they need help. If yes, I'll help. If not, I'll move on. When I used to play my blader, if someone tried to KS me, I usually just spammed KD+stab and they would give up and go away. If I actually wanted/needed the help, then I let them KS me. Depends on my mood I guess, and the situation.

One time I was on my blader doing an 8-man party with some friends and random people during a jewel box event. A party mujigi giant spawned and we started working on it. Some 64+ glaiver came by wanting to plvl his lvl 33ish friend in our spot and started KSing our giant. So I spammed KD+stab and eventually the glaiver went away. My party didn't seem to mind much that they couldn't attack. If I let the glaiver go, we probably wouldn't have gotten the kill anyway.

When I played everyone else was afk so of course I ks'd it. It's not like they would know.
