Diablo Daily proof new credit system sucks

[Mesquite]

I agree 100%. I hope Trion changes it back to the way it was previously. It did not bother me if others get credit for doing little, and now doing the contracts is very annoying in a group (and I'm in a group pretty much all the time).

Shoot every blast post or enemy atleast once..and let the people kill them, you'll get credit for each one you did even 1damage to... Deedeedee kill swift or cry about it alone not in the forums man

i know PLEASE revert this horrible change. punishing how many players bc a handful AFKed in the area or accidentally got credit driving by? It's ludicrous and makes no sense to me.

i HATE WoW now bc of the mob competition. games like gw2 spoiled me where cooperation is PAID OFF and don't have to become a slimey ****** that steals mobs. i got really good at being a schtako-face at WoW mob tagging in such a way where the other person got stuck and had to stay and fight. it's grimey but WoW encourages that kinda playstyle and was relieved that this game didn't, and now it does. now it encourages tagging as many as you can while other people are fighting =(

REVERT PLEASE, i'd rather carry a couple AFK people (who i've yet to see anyway bc if they put the effort to DRIVE ALL THE WAY THERE, i'm sure they will end up fighting with you). maybe did it so people can't AFK keycodes that you can use precious bits on?

Actually in this case, the solution is for Trion to fix this issue. Because the UNNATURAL way/workaround of playing you have just described is NOT a solution that promotes fun, when the objective of playing a game is for fun. Especially since kill sharing was never a problem in the first place.

The intention was good but the side effects are bigger than the AFK leechers problem. Now we gonna have many people complaining about kills steal when we just come by to help out.
I agree, this should be reverted.

TBH I really don't mind having to do this 2 or 3 times as I'm levelling two weapons whilst I'm there anyway.

But more to the point, I do think though that if we had an effective chat system we would see a lot more folks grouping together to do dailies like this. I've rarely seen anyone chat and hardly ever had a random grp invite in this game. If you group, you get credit for all the blast pods, not just the ones you damage.

I dont care for the hulker contract.. they are few and far between.. can't find them fast enough...

[aeryk117]

This change should absolutely be undone. Up until the change one of my favorite features of Defiance was that the game was universally cooperative - no kill stealing, no loot hoarding, everyone could help out (or not) at any time and everyone would benefit.

Last night, it was very clear that this change fundamentally altered the Daily contracts game play, placing us in direct competition with other players for kills (or forcing us to game the system by tagging but not killing blast pods, as described in this thread).

This is absolutely NOT a change I am in favor of - please change it back.

The solution is simple. Switch the contracts back to the old method, but add an AFK flagging system.

If someone has not moved or fired within 3 minutes then the server should flag them as AFK. Players who are AFK are removed from the list of people that receive credit. The auto-co-op feeling is back, and the moochers are screwed.

Not for everyone it seems. I was doing this contract with a clan mate in a group early this AM and I didn't get credit for his blastpods and vice versa.
