[quote="J0K3R"]Brill will try it out later :) thanks for update, cap for pk norm still 20?[/quote]

[quote="JAHEIRA"][quote="FINITO"]OK, grey and low moral characters can now attack those of any level that attack them. The character that attacks them will be flagged for 1 minute. The 1 minute will reset each time that character attacks any grey / low moral character and the flag is also removed upon death. The reason for flagging on a timer is so that other grey / low moral characters can also get involved and attack the character attacking them etc. Let me know how this works out and if need any clarification.[/quote] So if a lvl 60 grey and a lvl 27 came and hit the lvl 60 they would be flaged, does this mean a lvl 100 could then hit the lvl 27 also ? If so is there anyway to making only the lvl 60 able to att the lvl 27 and not the lvl 100 Reason I say this is cos the lvl 60 could be pure str and the lvl 27 int, ruins it if a lvl 100 can just step in[/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"]start all pk @ lev 30 .. no restrictions.. no item drops..and all is easy ^^ ( all soundin a bit complicated atm )[/quote]

[quote="JHAELIEN"]Sounds like a great start, nice one fin. [/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"]if u want an open pvp game where ppl will happily participate for fun... then item drops needs removing.. imo. [/quote]

We can test it out for now but imho the flagging timer may need increasing.[/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"]Fin's work needs changing before u even tested it? oh my .. All these forum pages about pk...... surely one easy answer ... see above ...and let Gm's get on with some soma furtherment ..like err levels and stats[/quote]

I never see you leave town so its a non issue for you?[/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"]no its not a major issue for me.... atm anyway....i feel that the game would have a much more ''fun'' atmosphere.. less bitching.... less greed and less assholes preying on the weak if this was the case..Most of gm pms are proly about bullying and '' unfair'' pvp ... Stop the drops, makes it a bit more like fun.. and less shit for every1.. players and gms alike. Plenty of things need doing in Soma..constantly tinkering with little bits of pvp/ levs and the like is slowing them down from doing whats really needed. Last big patch with faster xp, item combining and more drops has been good for the player count. Thats just my opinion........... but seems a no -brainer to me. It's all a little bit tense.. a little bit nasty..a little bit greedy etc etc.... get pvp fun.. more ppl participate and relieve that stress and tension.... more fun It may well be the case now, that hardly any items are dropped in Pk fights...... but ppl shy away from it..they dont attend..they tp..they warp..they shit their pants....... if no drops..ppl will have a go.... fun fun fun........ or at least more action[/quote]

[quote="PIKUTIN"]Not being funny lupi but literally never in the history of the server have i seen someone not pvp because they are afraid to lose gear (unless maybe once or twice when someone was super laggy), this is a really random thing you keep bringing up and wont change anything.[/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"][quote="PIKUTIN"]Not being funny lupi but literally never in the history of the server have i seen someone not pvp because they are afraid to lose gear, this is a really random thing you keep bringing up and wont change anything.[/quote] Why dont 80% of the lev 100s ingame attend any pvp ? see arcanix and other guilds too You can pretend it doesnt happen, and say im talking nonsense... but i know im not ( figures massaged slightly to prove my point..but it still stands) If was no item drops.... a guild group of infinity/ faint/( or arcanix) etc .. might get a 6-7-8 strong group of lev 70-80s... and go have a bash at 2-3- lev 100 dls .. they might not win....but they wont lose their gear...but have a bit of fun. Its fun for all.. including the strong players too..... Just more pvp .. less stress..... take away the tension and risk is all im saying. If it seems such a weird idea.. ill shush about this.. but to me .. this is basic .. making gameplay more open to all.. without risk. Would also help to stop '' grieffing'' .. if bullies want to pk someon 5-6-7-8- x and lose morale..thats their choice.. The player being killed loses nothing.. no rezzies .. just a bit of pride. If im talking shit.... forgive me.. but sounds sensible to me ( most of the pk bullying seems to be coming from lower levs picking on noobs... Take away lev restriction.... @level 30 any1 can kill any1.... would make some of these ppl have to level up qwik... and stop harrassing new players)[/quote]

[quote="JHAELIEN"]Some people just don't like pvping, doubt they'd suddenly start because they wouldn't lose gear. Would have to be playing on a seriously unstable setup/connection to be constantly affraid like that. Not against it though, no one likes losing nice things just some of the reasons seem off to me.[/quote]

[quote="MITCHY"]Keep drops as they are. If things drop to 'neutral' guilds and it was purely sport they were pk'd then usually the item is returned. But if it's against a rival guild / player who actively pks us too then all items are fair game. Changing the drop system would bring a downfall to Pking in the end as it would make it pointless.[/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"]only dl commenting i notice... with their group pvp ''teams'' What about arcanix, and their lev 100's? why dont they do pk.. or other lev 100s? I'll not mention names...but theres plenty of them. Pking is about '' killing'' other players... not bullying the fuk out of them bigtime and trying to nick their gear. Thats why nobody engages in pk.... i wont say it again...but its hardly brain surgery to work it out[/quote]
