About items dropping.. or not dropping in pvp.
I remember a GM putting forward the idea that only items that dropped were unequippable 1's.. ie..weps/armour accessories couldnt be dropped..
In the light that +3/4/5 items are hard to get ..and not replaceable in the near future, maybe this could be looked into.
I dont go to the conti on any character.. devs/human alliances etc... ''they kno what u got'' ( tin foil hat fully equipped ty)
Mayb on human side and conti too... make all equippable items undroppable? That way ppl might go to the conti..chance their arm a bit... mayb ppl will participate in pvp a bit more, and add a bit more fun to the game.
Ppl spend so much cash and time invested into making a half decent bit of good armour or a weapon.. they dont wana risk losing it.

So... only drop barr or items that arent equippable .. either on cont or in human pvp?

Please discuss

really? the brutal pk system is one of the things that make soma. I'd consider it a deal breaker if it was toned down.

really..thats why humans dont go to the cont.. and the only rvr is 10 mins of ''gate opened'' in vod..and a few low levs get slaughtered in the pit by devs.. generally

Longer the game continues.. humans will be gettin better and better equips, and the less likely they are to hunt in the cont where they might lose their stuff to OP devs. Hence rvr will diminish and the whole idea of rvr becomes even more distant

The personal issue I use to have was how random the system is, you'll have a char die force warp/dc fully geared and he drops barr/resis or some other garbage meanwhile another character can have 95% trash items and one good item he dies and drops that one good item.

It's not exactly the biggest issue the game is facing, and is only ever really an issue if you are unlucky enough to DC in a pk fight.

I see many humans come conti with only hero equipped and a low -m axe to try and get gear from devils.
devils dont have option of undroppable armour. and with MD change devils are alot more vulnerable.

items being dropped however is one of the best parts of the game. if you dint want to lose ur +2/+3/+4 item. then dont use that when PK or going conti. simple

Don't mind how pvp works. RvR is another matter and forced to warp imo is a big no no

Should just make RvR same as pvp. Maybe the only forced warp is the invades.

Ppl don't farm pos anymore like they used to so don't see this as a issue

why dont ppl farm pos any more? coz conti isdangerous for humans and they might lose items?
Its all fine to say dont conti with anything decent.. well go in a displacer set..and an untagged apus, or whatever..that wont get u very far.. some humans got some decent gear now...After spending a month or 6 getting some half decent gear..they aint gona go wearing their best gear.. But if devs think..''ye.. keep the drops going, its the ''best thing about soma'' ..well think about the last time u got a drop from a human...humans just aint going to the cont.
Keep dreaming about the drops '' that are the best part of soma'' ...and ul be waiting for those drops for a long long time

If the best part of soma is waiting for something that aint gona happen.....u need to rethink what's good for Soma ..coz u aint gona get drops from humans..Simple

Probably because as soon as shards were introduced the value of pos dropped severely and has never been the same value since.
