A : ALL the gold be transferred at one time?

All at once. Though to be honest, I much prefer the idea of a Preference to make the seller anonymous. That would work better.

it should be optional for the seller to be anonymous

That's why Grim said make it a preference, to enable or disable at the sellers discretion.
Which would be a great idea, certainly one worth atleast a trial. Get it in

Making sellers anonymous does not solve the general problem,
that they can easily be found with "find player".
Even now, during "rush hour" (ST 23:00) with ~800 players online,
i am able to find players who have been online 4 hours ago,
this when leaving the "Username" blank.
When writing single letters in the Username, there pretty much is no limit,
as how far one can find players + their gold on hand.

Apart from that i do not like anonymous sellers. They do not work for:
* There are some ppl i try to avoid buying from. Be it "magic titan hunters",
ppl who empty guilds or someone i try to avoid for whatever reason.

* AH is a good tool, to establish contact between potion brewers / plant farmers.
New players trying to earn a little, rarely have the fsp to post in the FS box.

* For merchants, to check out the competition.

* If someone sells something cheap, check out if he has other good offers.

* Haggle with the seller

Even if "anonymous sellers" is optional, i suspect it will quickly become the norm
that players switch this on, in the hopes it will reduce pvp attacks.
While in fact, it will make little difference (see above) for regular gold auctions,
with a buy now price.
Though the fake auctions with millions of gold for trash items, likely will benefit from it.

Personally i would prefer the gold in-box.

just pointing out there was a time when these pots sold for and fsp or two, if that became the norm again im sure rates for farmers would increase which to my knowledge is an absolute waste of stam at current rates.

I'm against cloak in AH. I personally don't buy from some people because I choose not to support them. I would like that option.

Also, seeing if people are transferring large sums of gold via crap items with long durations should be shown in the AH. It is their responsibility to convert the gold to FSP or bank it before someone hits them.

I thought we were trying to encourage pvp? Sounds like people are already trying to counter that effort, sigh :?

Game resources are still going at a descent price. but Resource Finder buff killed the regular plant market. Although, I suspect hunting potions will be selling for a premium during the event and probably for a few days afterwards.

RIP Prestige? Did you guys consider that pvp prestige occurs ONLY if xp loss occurs?

can't you only get Prestige from Bounty Board and Ladder hits?

You only gain prestige from pvp hits, 10, once every 3 days from the Same person, Inc the ladder. And yes the BB also, 1 each hit. However it is only when xp loss occurred.

My point was if a lot of people have pvp protection on (hence it being at a cheaper price) then regular combat for pvp prestige will be dead.

The BB in general is fairly dead, so earning prestige there isn't likely.

So I guess the only good option would be the pvp ladder. Then again, you'll lose more XP in the ladder than gain from prestige bonus. so its a wash.

Sidenote: Why are people allowed to bounty deflected hits? I would think that after the "you can bounty for EACH hit" rule, that they would have adjusted the bountying deflects rule. Seems very unfair to me because they already benefited from being saved from pvp combat. huge deterrent for pvping in my opinion.

The intent is clear, regardless of the outcome, so yes, imo, they should keep the "any hit, successful or not, should be bountyable.."

thanks for setting me straight, it seemed logical but the RF buff i neglected to notice probably has a big impact now.

Well don't expect a lot of people to try or like pvp then. I thought the cows were trying to open it up for people to try / enjoy, hence my comment about it. Keep in mind you only get a portion of the total gold they have on-hand (most feel master thief rarely kicks in) and you are likely to get bountied for the hit as well.

Next time don't activate Honor on a player before 10 stamming them.
Next time, just hit them, 10x the force, without Honor. If your going to do it to someone already into PvP, more than likely to get a better responce.

& "Hitting People for Prestige. Kindly don't bounty. Hit back instead. Thanks." ~ Really?

[yotekiller]

I've been bountied for combats I lost....lol I've come to accept that as the cost of doing business and move on. No need to worry about it but I can see where someone new to pvp might not like it. You have to develop a thick skin pretty quick or pvp just isn't for you. The theft rates on the other hand are an issue but that's a topic for another thread. :mrgreen:

[DaleJunior]

I think with this update you should change the code in the find player function so that you can't simply type in the level range you can hit and have the players' gold amounts pop up instantly, like shooting fish in a barrel. Go back to the good ol' days where you had to search for people to find if they had gold on them or not. Stop making things too easy.

Remove the attack helper for creatures too then? Make players figure out what stats they need to hit safely on their own Just sayin, if we want to stop making things easy...

I don't have a problem with that! Take it out!!! However, I think you and I both know that this is not an equal comparison. Enough said but too late to do anything about it now anyway. What's done is done, right? HCS has made their (I mean OUR) Bed and so now everyone has to lie in it. Only time will tell if it was a good decision or not. Merry Christmas everyone!

There is no thread open for this but why did you (Hunted Cows) decide to postpone the xmas points by another 12 hours?? It means for me that after not using my stam for a hunt and expecting my purchased points on the 21st as promised I now have to wait until the 22nd to receive anything - and the xp loss is massive given I can only hunt once a week. It means effecitively that the double xp event is just going to make up for theses losses. Thanks cows, awesome desicion :twisted:

I hope that HCS doesnt change the xp event date too... I did two small hunts just to get max stam @2pm today, as they said it would be that time
