Soma has lost it's appeal

Author Content Date
So first full day back on soma after 3 weeks off.

First of all i don't even bother hunting in conti because the devils come and drive you away from any mob you want to hunt there.

Now it appears that you can't hunt in vod.

first time i went into vod there was around 4-5 guys standing around the entrance spawn point instantly stoning me and then zombie me and nuke me down in about 5 seconds.

later on when i manage to get into vod and feather before i can get stoned i go up to mags to try and get some eps to break some HH i was lucky enough to buy. Someone thinks it is nice to 1 hit me after i have been killing a mags and pull back to heal myself.

I used to come on to the game to get some form of escapism from the pressures and shit real life throws at you but now it is just pissing me off more and stressing me out.

All i want to do is come on the game, chat to friends and just relax kill a few mobs and once every few months level up .

Why don't the guys that want to pvp go kill each other all day. If that floats yer boat then fine but leave the others alone to play and actually enjoy their time on the game.

Well I'm with you - tbh if someone is guildless or in a passive, non-pk guild that never caused me no harm, I have no interest in killing them. It's even worse if they're weaker than you, or lower level. Can't fathom that mindset. It's just bullying to pick on passive and inoffensive people.

Still, have to try and understand the mindset of people who have maxed gear and still want to spend time in the game: there isn't so much for them to do. Don't mind people camping a portal, but maybe mags should be no-pk again?

Would be nice to see if they could have a a separate pk and RVR map that both races could go and it is for capped players only.

That way the PvP junkies could go have their fights and if a few devs turned up they would have to all right the devs to survive.

I have deliberately not mentioned names of players or guilds because I don't want this to be a troll thread.

I just want people to see the other side.

Dont be so stupid!

I knew when i hit level 80 i needed to bang out the last 20 levels rapid in order to defend myself better. Sure pking innocents isnt nice, But pk is pk. If the GM's did away with PK you would be left with prob 10 players who like to farm... No Wotw, No GVW, whats the point? May aswell go on farmville.

I think the easy fix for this is to limit PK so you cannot PK players 5 levels below you. To be fair to birdman he was apologetic and sincere, I myself have been put on someones "special list" so when i reach lvl 80, i suppose the fun begins....

I left soma for 3 years because of a certain guild previously constantly pking me and making it impossible to play, so lets hope the same thing doesn't happen! I don't mind the odd PK now and again as it's part of the game but there's a line imo.

Just an idea, but to prevent abuse of PVP, would it be possible to put a limit per day of the amount of PKs an individual can make?

For instance:

Player X kills 10 people in one day. 10 being the limit his PK mode is restricted (ie turned off) for 24 hours.

10 kills per day to prevent excessive killings. Worst case scenario you get 6 guys, thats 60 deaths, but the killers lose there ability to pk after a while.

WotW, GVW, Duel, Greys, would not count towards to "daily kill count".

This would be in addition or instead of the current level restriction.

Best thing to do would be to bring patch out and cap raise so lvl100s have something to do. Simple.

Then when they cap in a weak with their multiple pilots, they will be back at pking again but the normal players will be now even more lower level so TRULY don't stand a stance .....

gg Leon, cleary 12 irl with that mentality bro

I think that some just pk lower levels as they are unable to pk along side the big boys so feel they have to make or try to make a name for themselves. With regards to Celts being pkd I'm wondering if its a dislike of me why one person chose to pk him?.

The difference between lvl 80 stats and 100 stats is huge. Even though am cap i think it should be +/- 10 levels.

Even level 90 a good char will bang in seconds but you got to stop somewhere.
