SAGA - Several kills to count one?

[Bozao]

Could someone explain to me how the death count works in events?

I really feel frustrated when I look at the SAGA event and it asks you to kill 200 Dark Elves... Somehow, even though the population is smaller, it seems like you need to kill two to count as one.

I've had fights in RvR where I killed 4 WEs, I certainly dealt more than 50% damage to each, but the quest count only registers one.

Not only is the amount the event asks for absurd, but I also feel like the system needs to be refined.

Ty.

generally only way to do it is in warbands or scenarios. Running solo, will be hard to accomplish. Not sure the criteria for a kill anymore, seems to change time to time.

I was wondering about the same earlier today. Both for Live events and general ToK stuff.
I kinda assume its when you, your party, or the warband. Does majority of the damage to a target it then counts as a kill?

Kills are tracked differently across Enemy addon which is just last-hits. Scoreboard deathblows seem to be different metrics than killboard.
This area could use both clarification and unified systems.

This task is basically "Get 800 kills." It's way too much.

Well, only suffering what to say. Its Warhammer afterall.

The intention of RoR team is to make it so you will struggle big times to do that fashionhammer item on many chars, so whole point is to make it somewhat okay to make on 1 char but a chore beyond imagination if you want to grab it on many. IMO, even for 1 char grind is just too much...

Kill counts are very simple. Killer from killboard counts (depending on amount of assists, but iirc it starts from 25% in case target got butchered by zerg) for event task. Assists for pure DPS dont UNLESS (and its very important)! DPSs in your party considered as "Killer" then you can leech it (so thats how you grind it on tanks/healers, thanks all mighty gods you have no important usage of it beside some weird&fancy screenshots of dualweilding tanks). And literally thats why it takes so long. In-game scoreboards do consider assists as "kills" so thats why it differs so much (as overall number for party/sc/warband scoreboard, summ of personal kills of teammates will be your exact number). Renown gains from kills is much more generiously spread along participants and whole different story.

The one who decided to make 200 racial "kills" a task for 7 days event knows a lot about perversions lmao
