Critter kills - what the hell is going on here?
Return to board index
Post by

A few minutes ago, my character's critter kill count was at zero.
Now, it's at 11.
I did not kill any critters during that period of time.
What the hell is going on here? Am I being given false credit for nearby players' kills even though we're not in a group?

AoE will kill critters. Have you done any dungeons lately? Maybe you or a group member accidentally killed some rats or something.

why do you keep starting these topics about critter kills? Yes, we get that you want to play some really silly ´rule´that you delete characters if they kill a critter.. more power to you. But do we really need to figure this out for you?
Maybe you should do a livestream....
Seriously, it is stupid.. there are probably 100s of player abilities and probabaly a dozen quests where you might accidently get a critter kill. Why just today, I was looking for a prize-winning hen and I had to kick some Mermots.. maybe they died?

Also, what's the deal with being able to skin corpses that I had absolutely no involvement in killing?

No AoE abilities were used, no dungeons were entered.

Because Blizzard is pissing me off and should either stop keeping track of such things or stop forcing me to do them.

You've always been able to skin mobs that have been killed and looted by someone else. It's just a resource node on the ground until it fades away.
I have to say this is one of the silliest rules, not killing critters, I've ever seen anyone live by in this game.

´forcing you´ ok.
Blizzard added a ton of ´for fun´ stats.... and guess what, a ton of them are borked because of quests. ´most damage done´ etc... ´biggest heal´... they all get screwed up because of some quest or boss mechanism. It doesn´t matter, the stats do not mean anything.
And you are wasting your time by posting here.... nobody can give you an answer other than the obvious.. you used an aoe... you say you didn´t, and everyone else is like ok.. bye. Nobody else is doing this stupid thing, so nobody is going to watch your livestream and figure out where you killed a critter.
You used an AOE. you groupe with someone who used and AOE.. you did some quest that required critters to be killed, or that gave you some type of buff that killed critters.

Or the third option...just don't look and enjoy your play time.

I clicked on this topic thinking maybe it something about the early part of Cata you could be in a group of 6 people kill one critter and get 6 kills towards the achievement.. but then I ralised it was another one of your stupid topics but couldn't hit the back button quick enough.
Seriously, If you are going to complain this much please go find another game or system to play.

Can anyone here actually answer the question?

Hey, guess what? I was there when it happened. You weren't. I didn't have any AoE abilities to use and I wasn't even invited to join a group. I'm right. You're wrong. Accept it.
EDIT: I have confirmed that yes, it is, in fact, other players' kills that are screwing with my count. We weren't even on the same realm :\

I'm right. You're wrong. Accept it.I'm sorry but since you've been posting on this site, you haven't been right once. You accept that you did a stupid thing, and go on with playing the game.

Well....my secret has now been exposed.
The truth is, Black, that I decided a few weeks ago to contact Blizzard about your playstyle. They were
very
interested, and the next thing I knew, I was whisked away on Blizzard's private jet, to a location that remains a secret, even to me.
There, I, along with the Blizzard developers, and high ranking members of governments from all around the globe, formulated what we now call, "The Plan".
You see, The Plan is to target you, and only you, with a special, hidden buff that deals massive amounts of AoE damage to critters. And not just the "normal" critters, but the "special" ones. The one's that you can't see, but they are
always
there,
always
watching you....mocking you...just waiting for you in the shadows...
waiting to be killed!
See now, your resistance is futile. You have been marked for life, to forever bear this horrible curse. You cannot run, you cannot hide. Even as we speak, there is an army of game developers and programmers placing invisible critters in every possible corner of the World (of Warcraft).
Their only purpose.....to spoil your game.
You cannot beat us, BlackMonarch. Join us! Join us in the delight of killing cockroaches, rats, and squirrels!
Crittergeddon
is there for you....take it!

Oh, I'm sorry, are level 13 warriors now capable of using level 20 skills like Thunderclap? I must have missed that patch.
You made an idiotic assumption and you were wrong. Accept it.(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##hatman555##DELIM##
There is no need for this on the forums, it has been removed.

Well I suppose he trolls and does idiotic things would know best.
But all things considered, if you are so worried about the critters...drag the mobs away from them, or as said above: Stop looking the statistic.

Drag WHAT mobs away? OTHER PLAYERS ARE MAKING THESE KILLS.

You have no idea how deep The Plan runs, Black.
No idea.
I am very surprised that you caught on so quickly, however. We may have underestimated you. Since you already have the basics figured out, I will fill in the blanks for you.
You see, The Plan also linked your character accounts with other players accounts. We have so far been able to convert 22% of the Chinese gold farmer playerbase into critter killing drones that are linked to you your WoW characters. We expect to have many more operatives in place by early next week, as we are working a special deal with the UN to allow us to use Prison Laborers from across the globe to ensure 100% coverage and uptime across all realms.

And? If you aren't grouped with them, and didn't touch the critters, your system isn't registering those kills.

Well I'm not grouped with them, and I didn't touch the critters, and my system registered those kills.
You can try this for yourself, by the way.

The only time it registers ungrouped other kills is if it's guild mates nearby...and I seriously doubt you have any of those.
