I am killing Toxic mobs and it is counting towards the hearts and if this event is going to go away and the area be more normal again I don’t want to waste my hearts for doing things that has little or even no relevance to the heart.
Like one is to collect truffles or something and kill Ettins. It has NOTHING to do with the Krait even the normal ones and the stupid toxic ones count towards the heart. Ughhh.
They need to put a reset heart thing in this game since the completed hearts do have a phasing element or something to them, ie I can’t just go and do xtra after its completed. Like if I wanted to role play and free more prisoners I cant because they vanish after the heart is completed.
Seriously? Most hearts already have a kill mobs in the area componant otherwise they wouldnt be advanceing. The fact that your killing krate instead of bandits does not really make all that much difference in my book. There are very few hearts where an activity is compleatly removed as an option. Heck even your RP example of freeing prisoners is still an option on most of the free prisoner ones I can think of off the top of my head.

I want to fight the bandits eyc. not the toxic nonsense for the hearts. From RP stand point it does not make any sense in my book.
I don’t remember how this particular heart’s instructions are worded, but many of them have a sentence at the end that says something like “… and keep the population safe” or “… and eliminate other threats”.

From an RP standpoint, I guess it depends on this heart’s NPC, but I think almost all of the NPCs don’t have agendas that are too specific to appreciate a hero coming along and kicking some Kraits’ behinds. Nobody likes the Krait.
“No, sorry, I don’t give you karma (RP: appreciation/reputation), because while you protect the local citizens, you’re fighting the wrong eveil mobs! I asked you to fight those bandits over there, not these Krait sorcerers who are super more evil and dangerous and darken the skies, and their rapidly spreading poison spores!”
If you were a wandering hero, from an RP standpoint, and wanted to keep the innocent safe from harm and suffering, wouldn’t you want to go out of your way, even change your intention of killing bandits, to destroy the much more menacing enemies threatening said NPCs you were talking about? I don’t know but it seems to me that doing things with RP in mind you would be MORE likely to go and kill those krait, since they are most definitely the worst problem facing the area.
Of course, if you were roleplaying a Robot and only intended to do the very narrow and specific things the heart npcs asked you to do, you could just do that. Its all about how you want to go about it.
I’m also with Vas here. Killing the krait is more in line with RPing that heart than not. What heart guy would be like “no no, I really really really hate those bandits. Don’t even worry about those significantly more evil, more destructive guys terrorizing my area, I want you to kill those gosh dern bandits!! God I hate bandits!! So smug with their bandanas!”
The fact that ANet made the Toxic enemies contribute to hearts indicates to me that the enemies may be a permanent feature of Kessex Hills, even after this month’s LS is done.
Which means you’ll probably have to take Vas’s suggestion and fit the krait into the RP’ing.

How can it not make sense? When you were there the toxic mobs were running rampant. The locals really appreciate you killing them much like they appreciate people doing other things during more calm times. What, you think a local farmer is going to hate you for killing toxic krait instead of the local bandits (who were killed by the toxic krait)?
Bad guys show up uninvited and mess up RL. Same thing happened in GW2. Krait invaded.
My only gripe is that NPCs should be reacting more. Making that transition is a lot of time-consuming work, so I understand why ANet did what they did. Still, the folks in Ft. Selma should be acting nervous…

Youdon’t know how I RP so how can you tell me I RP like a robot? If this event does go away to some extent ( all I know is they did say things WILL change, don’t know if worse or better ) I rather do the old content because currently it seems all hearts should be removed and this should be pretty much like Orr is, no hearts and mass of undead but in this case toxic krait etc.
Also I don’t want to kill KRAIT for lot of hearts! Why do I want to kill the same mob over and over again when I rather fight a variety. Also as mentioned in another threat the NPCs don’t exactly act like there is anything wrong such as the bandits and centaurs.
I like to enjoy the world not just grind and kill stuff for loot and points.

The NPC does not mention anything about Toxic Kraits etc. This is addressed in a different thread.
Edit: I just killed ONE witch, thats it just one witch and it completed the entire heart from 0 to 100. I never got to read any dialogue or anything for the Quaggans struggle just a thank you and you can buy karma items is all I got to see. I never had a champ fill an entire bar up. * sigh *
@Meriem: As a player who does something similar in my playstyle, I can sympathise, but sometimes this kind of scenario is unavoidable. It’s why I usually make a beeline to the Heart NPC first before killing anything and read their dialogue. I accidentally completed a few Hearts that I didn’t want to yet as part of the Tower of Nightmares meta, but at least I can still view the NPC’s dialogue on my alts when they get up there.
If the reverse were true (krait did not count towards hearts), then I suspect more people would be inconvenienced than is the case with the current situation. That is, players currently trying to complete hearts having more difficulty doing so because of the impact of the LS content on the territory of the “normal” heart mobs.
