Brain I get the impression you were one of the snowflake's that moaned for PK to be turned off.

Of course there are other games with PVP, please inform me of the relevance of this statement and we can continue from there.

Think we need to differentiate between PvP and PK.

PvP - generally consensus between both parties that want it and will fight back.
PK - only one party will fight, as it has been put previously in the thread a number of times ‘just take 2’.

So are we asking for PK mode for PvP or for the killing of people not fighting back every hour?

Or both?

Not adverse to it being on (whilst it’s nice to not have to worry about being bothered during levelling). Just think we need to be clear on what we are asking for.

Turning PK mode on entails both, personally I have little to no interest in dropping people who just bend over - but the same can't be said for everyone.

Tbh I personally am asking for PK mode turned back on as normal.

I would also be a fair bit happier than where we are with the current situation, with a compromise of one map that's generally disused having PK enabled on it.

Hope that clears things up, for my POV at least.

Just want Soma needs... Advertisement of other games and loss of UC as a result.

We are fully aware there are other games with PVP. Think the point almost every PVP player is trying to get across is there is literally no reason at all for PK to be turned off.

If people want to farm/lvl they can take two deaths (10 seconds of their time and a measly 50k barr for an hour of free hunting). If said people are bothered about taking 2 deaths they clearly aren't PVE players and its their own fault they can't hunt. Not like it matters anymore with KD being removed, I wouldn't even care about giving 2 deaths on Devula atm had I bothered to get it to evil moral.

+1 Shailo.

+1 Dare.

IMO PK should never go off, but if it has to in future maybe change what PK being off means a little.

Make VOD, IC and Conti perma PK on maps, when PK is turned off these maps have 25% drop and xp increase - then you kinda satisfy everyone, nobody is being totally shafted.

"RAVENSOUL"And telling players to “ just take the 2 deaths isn’t pvp “

Farming players every hour on the hour at places like blg, nm’s isn’t pvp, only going after the players that don’t fight back isn’t pvp.......



I agree with your views on this Raven however this is not the majority of us...

Tbh im not full on PvP going around killing people will do occasional runs but when PK comes for me i will fight unless its a 3+v1 im off 1v1 / 2v1 am there and its about the element of surprise when out and about on Soma travels.. when PK is off nothing is needed in F1-F4 bar except HP, MP pots and a TP even TP is not needed really.

Just a suggestion while numbers are up think they could be higher if PK was on as it gives us a chance to fight for a hunting ground which Dare has explained when x2 rates are over this will not be a option to play for as the UC naturally drops off.. shame as this type of play can be fun for "PVPers" which the PVPers are losing out on during event time.. again with PK off and immunity available for all even PVP players - choice is yours!!

It was turned off to stop people ruining the event, Isylver said he forgot to turn it back on.

Na, there was a big lagg the next day Finito resolved it and PK mode was back for 5-10mins before it got turned off again. It is intentional.

Just a question.. there's good points of view from both sides of this argument...
Do the pvp guys not think that there's enough guilds now participating in pvp .. proly 3-4 maybe more.. not particularly counting, but more than a year ago or so..... that u guys can keep urself busy killing each other with rivals that actually want to pvp?
Most pve players get left alone .. so why not have immunity pots for those that want them.. maybe when they levelled and geared up they will join the big guys or make their own pvp guilds.. Just killing the underpowered lower levs doesn't do a great deal for inspiring their long term play.
The bigger guilds that do pvp aint gona let their members use immunity.. or certainly not for long.. wouldn't be good for their image..
So.. nothing really would change.. pvp carries on as usual..when its turned on ofc.... nothing changes there.. but the lesser powered guys get chance to play the game and enter the pvp world when they feel the urge..
Seems a decent middle of the road suggestion.

Turning pk off isn't the right thing to do, it effects so many people... the people we gain from x2 we lose on the other end because of no pvp, it's already been said but I honestly think there is enough in place for prevention of harassment.

Agree with both dare and yahudo regard ur as pvp does break up the grind a bit and everyone will want to take a rest from soma after 2x, in future 2x events maybe could do 4 days no pvp 3 days with pvp like Sara ur day and Sundays pvp days then Thursday and Friday for people who can’t get on the weekend or missed pvp being off the weekend before etc.
