Bad Behavior Causing Problems

General Discussion
1

Last night I was hosting baal runs on my Sorc and had full parties every game.

Another sorc joined and started doing lower kurast chest farming.

I was mildly annoyed they were using my game to farm and not helping our xp bonus (ie the intention of public baal games).

I thought, well there is a pvp option so I’ll utilize my pvp solution to the problem. Little did I know that you cannot use waypoints once you hostile someone? I tried a few variations but could not go kill him for using my game.

Then he left game early as I was trying to hunt him, and he stole the next numerical game name from my titled game. So I of course got the error at creation and was locked for a minute (as did everyone else who was baaling with me). And it killed the run.

So not only was he being a pest in my games, he was able to destroy me and 6 other players continued baal runs.

Is there a better pvp solution that I’m unaware of? Hoping the lockout timer is removed shortly so this doesn’t happen to others.

The solution to bad behavior in PvP is not to engage in it.

It was bad behavior during pvm, I was hoping I could resolve by killing him via pvp.

Youre complaining about someone coming to Magic Find in a Public game? the answer is easy. Make a private game for your runs.

It boggles my mind that people get upset about others joining their games for the purpose of Magic Find, when the loot increases with the amount of players. It’s no different than someone leeching off a Baal run. They have no purpose to that game other than leeching.

the magic finder is leeching the players for the increased loot.

The game lockout basically ruins everything. Someone can ruin a run just by making the next game in say normal. It is literally worse than pvp.

And there’s a private game feature for that.

Cows are better for xp farming imho. If you’re Baal running for mf him being there still helps the player count.
And you can use waypoint after going hostile there is just a 15 second cooldown or something.

If your run is going well and your clearing fast type this in chat on the last wave

Ng - baalrun01//////123

then spam it

baalrun01//////123
baalrun01//////123
baalrun01//////123

but maybe pick a better name for your games :slight_smile:

Actualy quite opposite because you had more experience because they were in game but not with you.

Btw there is timey delay after you declare hostility, few second 7-10. After that you can use your portals and wp.

ahh the karma haha. thats what you get, 1 person doesnt make any diference in baal runs. chill the F out next time

This, exactly. Usually if something like this happens, whoever the creator of the Baal Runs is would then start passworded games for the group.

This is not new, and there is a solution to it.

The game name is “Baal run XX” not “MF and Chill.” if you come into a game with the sole intention of not doing what the game is advertised for, I think people are entitled to feel slight annoyance, or even use the in-game tools to mitigate it, such as pvp.

This is true you get more exp if they don’t join you at throne. As long as you can handle the 8player waves reasonably quickly

Every cloud has its silver lining as they say

Looks like you got tactically outplayed and aren’t familiar enough with PVP.

PVP can be a solution to your problems if executed properly

lmao. Yeah bro, any time someone cares about something you don’t they’re being a karen.

I personally don’t care about this kind of thing, but it’s perfectly reasonable for someone to be annoyed by it. No one is freaking out here, man.

Its causing problems for people who want the same community that existed 20 years ago, modern blizzard community is pretty much a bunch of trolls or people mimicking Twitch streamers.

Well sure, i have been in games where 9 people were doing their MF runs and it was too much. Worst are people who kill your quests bosses. I consider it rude.

I am joining full games also, mostly to level up but, sometimes MF but i dont destroy quests for others.
