New PK System flaw?

Author Content Date
"FLAWLESS"This has been around for a while now, this isn’t a new “bug” or “flaw”. It’s been around for months.


Ohh that makes it better then! I don't know how to convey the amount of sarcasm contained in that brief statement.

What I mean is this new system was implemented to alleviate glitches like this. All it has done is cause friction between a lot of people and basically put a hunting tax on players that don't have the capability to fight back, and if they do get grieffed by people with lvl 100+ chars waiting off screen.

Don’t be a fool, you play the system to get people banned and try to influence things to your favour. There are such things within game to stop this from happening without any need for him involvement. Because you choose to ignore these is your own look out.

Example, you warp and go to shanis bottom right of vod, job done. If people still follow you there by all means report it. Don’t act high and mighty when you yourself would follow people spawn to spawn before you got banned for buying from the chinese.

Entire rework of game mechanics that have successfully been used for about 18+ years now, due to one instance of someone not warping and goading people into attacking them for footage?

I don't know how you can make such a post Yokohama, expecting people to reflect on something negative when its been this way awhile now and now go with the same sentiment. Its almost like you expect a positive change and cant follow the same cynicism of 'why should it change, accept it'.

Behind the subtleties, I'm in agreement.

Off subject but I think 5pks 1 hour not being able to be pked would be better.

Was merely pointing out this was a flaw to the old PK system also. You can’t blame
Everything on the new one.

It’s been around so long it’s either intended for some reason or they are unable to fix it.

Hard to balance and stop grieffing and bug abusing/flaws being used.
At least something has finally happened about people going overboard.
It is a pk game, used to love the guild pk wars myself but it gets too personal now.
Maybe start a vote system for the server?........

5 times killed in 1 day = immunity for the day (unless you come out of that by attacking yourself going grey).
5 level difference as mentioned.
10 kills max from any player in a day (remember the same pk bike char can go after all members of a certain guild every day and get the 2 kills or w/e GMs decide on).

Sorry for the post Finito etc, means more work for you if you change things lol.
Any more to those 3 above ideas?

The fact that attacking someone, who went grey on you, makes you open to getting 1 shotted from someone 65 lvls above you.

the whole point of this change, was to stop a player being repeatedly pkd like 5-6-7-8-10-20 x whatever. Just set a figure like 4-5 x in an hour or a soma day whatever ..then give that pkd player immunity for an hour...or the rest of the soma day..whatver ......... he loses immunity if he engages in pk during that immunity... mayb

Reduce PK range to 10.

Change it so that when you hit someone grey, you can't get hit by someone that is 10 levels above or below you.

Increase immunity to 2 hours instead of 30 minutes.

Simple.
