Currently only 100 stam pvp hits on the bounty board, or on the pvp ladder count as Smasher medal hits. Off The board, off ladder pvp 100 stams do NOT count.


Players hit, now have the option to post multiple bounties, which now have a max ticket cost of 100 tickets, meaning more would bounty hunt. Add in many players going for smasher % via the bounty board, more bounties may possible be smashed. This would hopefully bring more life to the bounty board as well.



With these recent changes to the pvp system and how pvp attacks are bountied, what are players thoughts on changing the medal back to where ALL 100 stam pvp hits count towards the medal? ( bounty, off the board, ladder)



Edit: This topic is about the smasher medal, please try and stay on that topic. No flaming, derailing, or trolling. PvP topics often tend to get heated, lets try and be civilized :) thanks!

Absolutely. Everyone that hits should get the same reward, regardless of the reason for which they hit. Especially now that they all face the same "punishment"

I didn't see a valid argument to remove it in the first place, yes I think it should be changed back. The large amount of hitting in the first couple of days was mostly over the novelty of the new medal. Now a lot of people have the medal and I do not think we will see the sheer amount of pvp we saw then. And I personally really enjoyed seeing 5 pages of people on the BB at a time. It has been nowhere near as active since. :(

I voted yes, please change it back. The bounty board was healthier, people were excited, it was fun.

Normal off the board smasher hits could only count when prestige would be gained. So once every 3 days. Of course players could still hit someone for gold, wars, randomness, etc. But only ONE hit per 3 days would count towards smasher.

Hitting inactives wouldn't count, Possibly anyone attacked past 3 days inactive shouldn't award smasher %?

There really was never a good enough reason in the first place to remove non-ladder/BB hits from going towards the medal, so I vote yes

I vote yes, even though usually I don't pvp, would make the game more interesting. I don't think the cows would go for it though.

I would like it to return to all pvp attacks. I was proud to receive my smasher for hitting 100 players in my range when the medal was first introduced. I gladly lost may levels for my hard work. Would be nice to pull another all niter LMAO

i voted yes, quite obviously. im not a great bounty hunter, but i do have respect. when they switched it to bounties and ladder only, it made the bounty board not only less fun, but made more people seem like total a$$es. ive always stuck to fast 10 stam clears unless asked by the bounty placer or who it was placed on. so the change was rather.. well, unliked. sorry for rambling XD

Gold / Kill peaks at about Level 310 or so - and then drops again twice - once at 1601 (from average 300g / kill with no doubler/mer/th to 250g / kill) and then again at at 1626 (down another 50g / kill to an average of 200g / kill)

100% YES! It is a PvP medal after all, and all PvP attacks with 100 stamina should count towards earning the medal. If players do not wish to be attacked as a result of the change, there is always the option to buy PvP Protection just as they have the option to opt out of the PvP Ladder and not attack other players and avoid a bounty being placed on them.

The reason I am bring up ways to avoid being attacked is because that seems to be the main if not, only point of contention when it comes to the changes to the PvP medal. If there are ways to protect yourself, there is no reason to not make the changes that Maehdros is proposing. If players choose not to protect themselves, then they have no grounds, that I can see, to complain about the changes.

Make PvP protection free, and then that's a valid argument - but ..

1. That will never happen (although Hoof did promise sometime ago to dramatically reduce the costs)

and

2. PvP'rs would never accept protection being free

Protection has already been drastically reduced from what it initially was.

Agreed - it was a ludicrous price when it was first introduced, but a lot of folk feel it's still too expensive.

I know you can make yourself less attractive as a target by keeping minimal gold on hand and not running inflammatory bio's (I never understand folk doing that - 'tis like waving a red rag at a bull) and that there are abuses possible with protection but ...

anyways, we're going off-topic - back to our scheduled programme ;)
