    Default How to counter leeching

    After some runs on The reaping map I think that if you pull the boss on the locations below:

    In short words: if the boss is far away from the spawn place the leecher wont get xp ( at least I think )

    Another way is to spam them "Move" until they dc

    If you pull him too far away you can make them not get xp... A friend and me tried it

    Just make it so you actually have to fight the boss to get xp

    I made this post cause my friend, who was standing in spawn, did not get the xp once or twice so i beleive it was the distance i pulled him away. If i am incorrect i am sorry. I just assumed it from that fact

    It happens if you leave to early. You don't have to step on the pentagram if you kill the boss but when your kill the boss music plays in the background. If you leave before that music plays you don't get the xp for the mission, regardless if the boss is dead.

    Edit: This is an issue because the music should at instantly after the boss dies but sometimes in The Reaping it lags a few seconds and the people who leave early miss out on the xp.

    I can see that but I just think there's a lot bigger issues that sts could be spending their time on such as getting the feed feature to work all the time. Especially since this problem already has a built in solution (play solo or invite friends) if it's really bothersome.

    I do two things.

    1.) Aggro the mob near by and bring them over to the leeches & watch them die.
    2.) Tell ppl in the run to wait cuz we have a leech, and ask to wait until they leave.

    Works like a charm. XP

    Play Solo...?

    I don't get how this is a big issue...the runs are easy enough by yourself that I doubt having a full party matters that much...it's not supposed to be a race to anyways. The content is still new guys, it's not going anywhere or updating any time soon.

    Yea you're right. The feed bug really is an issue, debatably the biggest one.

    That's what I always did, but I'm starting to have issues alone on the new maps

    I second what shaocalur said.... i think the reward is activated on music, which should work for everyone, but sometimes people leave a tick sooner.... (also as he said, the server lags a bit)

    Sure, though they have the idea of getting quicker, to earn achievements and hunt for pink items and executions... a hell lotta work it seems
