I am facing the same.  Is there a remedy? I uninstalled and reinstalled a couple times to no avail.

     If it doesn't matter finding out how the majority of the players feel to have a poll and a decision has been made, it would seem that the decision would have "the best interests of the game in mind".  However, we have to ask the effects of a change and what the outcome will be.  The idea behind a decision to remove XP loss and make it PVPXP loss is that XP is held as valuable.  Many non-PVPers don't like losing XP getting hit so they complain.  Some threaten HCS that they will quit unless XP loss is removed from PVP.  The COWS don't want to lose revenue with the game losing players, and the game some would say would deteriorate.

     In this case, XP loss from PVP would be prevented.  Instead, PVPXP would be lost.  If PVPXP has little or no value compared to XP, then as some say in global chat, who cares if PVPXP is lost, all that is cared about is XP loss.  There must be some gain besides a medal or rank to have a perceived value of PVPXP.  Maybe special items can be introduced that require that both a player XP level and PVP level must be obtained or a certain XP level + PVP level must be obtained or are based on PVP level alone.  Make it that 1 hitting can only be possible with items that require a high level of both XP level and PVP level.  This would make gaining PVP level DESIRABLE and a sought after goal.  It would make PVPXP valuable.

    *** However, what the game developers have to consider very carefully is:

     By making PVPXP VALUABLE, once the same people complaining NOW about XP loss start to lose their valuable PVPXP ... there will be complaints on how evil PVP bullies are hitting them.  PVPXP will be held as valuable and many non-PVPers won't like losing PXPXP and the complaints start again.  Some will say they will quit unless things change and PVPXP is removed from PVP!  The COWS will not want to lose revenue with the game losing players, and some would say the game would deteriorate.  Full circle.

So, thinking ahead and how this will play out, I would ask the game developers to THINK this through. What some THINK will result from this change will not happen.

     I just want to state this NOW so later on if ANYONE even THINKS about complaining about losing PVPXP from being hit, I would hope you will remember this post and humbly just deal with it and remember that getting first in this game with either XP level or PVP level won't pay your bills, won't make you live longer, won't bring your family closer together - so losing levels, either XP or PVP, is really not something to be all upset over :)  Just play the game for what it is, however the "what it is" is.

just saying but the value of the rating could be increased to give it equal or even higher value than the exp.

 

just give them ideas on stuff to make it more valuable and they will be more than happy enough to work on it .

Hi crippla, when I used the word "value", I was not speaking of the word "value" as of a numeric value.  I was speaking of a meaning that denotes something of worth.  I listed a few ideas in my original post.

At the end of the day, it causes too many issues. Yet NONE of you have managed to say why taking XP is more important than PvP Rating. Why do you HAVE to take XP? So you can keep beating someone down? Unacceptable. That kind of behaviour drives people away. Doing it to gain rating still gives you the reason, risk and consequence, just without the ability to ruin someone's game time, and if that is why you want XP loss, to be able to negatively impact someone else's game, then there is something wrong.

I personally believe that - as it is worded by BG, not me - "taking XP is more important than PvP rating" is because almost everyone believes that XP has some relative "value" and PvP rating doesn't have relative value in comparison.  XP designates a players level which determines what items they can use, determines what realms they can hunt which determines how much GXP they can gain per stamina when hunting, determines what levels they can reach for chests and relics - it determines so many things - not just for "levelers".  Yet, PvP rating only has a chance to gain ladder tokens that honestly don't give items of "value" and PvP rating points also POOF after a couple days.  BG, it is not about ruining experiences.  It is about affecting "something" of value so that there is a point.  If so many PvP rating points could be exchanged for XP as an example, PvP rating points would gain "value" and would be desired more.  If PvP rating points could be exchanged for FSP, PvP rating points would have "value".  If an attacking player gains only a few temporary PvP points that can be exchanged with ladder tokens for a resource item of little to no significance, some are saying that there is no point, because nothing of "value" is gained.  At the minimum having a losing player lose XP is a result that has an impact and it is THAT impact which gives the victorious player energy and excitement, a thrill.  That too is "value", especially in a game where many have lost that energy, excitement and thrill.




#887577 FS ALL OUT WAR!!!

"Until then, IF SOMEONE DOESN'T WANT TO LOSE THEIR PRECIOUS XP AND BE DELEVELED DON'T JOIN THE LADDER OR GET THEMSELVES PUT ON THE BOUNTY BOARD! ... Being called a bully for playing the current game is abhorrent beyond belief. Let's see some precious resources applied to improve this PvP game instead. ... PvP is an intregal part of this game because it creates an all important risk to ALL players! The current wave of anti-PvP sentiment is alarming because it is having an effect that is starting to show favoritism to those that threaten to leave and selects certain guilds and players for punishment like suggestions of doing away with PvP".

Nicely said.  Now, I know ... maybe my post should be in another section of the forum, but maybe not, so I don't mean to offend, bully, intimidate, or emotionally scar anyone (my disclaimer).  But - If some are scared to get hit while playing this fun XP gaining and PVP'ing game ... and they make their OWN UNFORCED DECISION to join the ladder or hit someone themselves, THEY made that decision.  If anything - it shows that they are lacking the ability to make logical and rational decisions.  Now, those who get hit for carrying lots of gold ... again, those who get hit for carrying lots of gold ... don't carry lots of gold anymore. Bank it, send to a friend, get protection, or send it all to me.  I will hold it for you, free of charge however I am not insured :)  Those who get hit by someone who wanted prestige and it's a soft, delicate, 10 stamina spanking on the buttocks followed up with baby powder ... that's understandable and actually it can be QUITE enjoyable to be spanked on the butt - between 2 consenting adults.  In fact, I recommend it, but no one is complaining about that issue.  NONE of these things are "bullying".  So what is left?  Only ones that 1) never hit anyone, 2) who aren't carrying lots of gold, 3) are not partaking in the ladder, and 4) have no one near them in level that can hit them for prestige.  Perfect! Don't be scared.  You not only WON'T be hit ... you CAN'T be hit.




#872930 Double XP Event Imminent!

Posted by LuxFerre on 12 June 2014 - 15:30

What an awesome weekend!  Double XP!  I am going to marinate some Rib Eyes, grill and have a feast this weekend.  It is clear.  With my big gut stuffed, I will relax downstairs in my cave, secluded away from my wonderful wife and children.  My phone turned to silent, totally void of all distractions - I will hunt.  "Hunt"?  No.  I will slaughter!  My bloodlust will grow with each kill!  Damn the grill!  Bring me RAW steak! Let me gut and feast off the muscle of the bovine while the carcasses are still warm!  Blood is vitality - let me live forever!  COWS run!  HCS hide!  ... Bring on a multitude of new content! So many new realms that the COWS may run away to in a failed attempt to escape my unsatiable hunger and thirst!  25 more levels!  50 more levels!  May the unveiling of new realms stretch as I conquer onward!  ... or regardless ... if in case new lands do not emanate ... gotta love steak!




#851026 New Medals!

Posted by LuxFerre on 22 February 2014 - 00:28

Although there are some less than desirable aspects to the medals, they are new, create new goals, and add yet more dynamics to the game.  I appreciate the rejuvenated attention to FS.
